ardent admirers who thought them
selves seriously wronged by his
choice, and when finally he found him

venture each of his old flames nour-
ished the hope that her time had
come.
Two OF these former aspirants had
serious grounds for their expectations.
Dodson had made love to both years
before. Unfortunately he could square
accounts only with one of them. He
chose the one that had the most mon

Joker and the Bride.

At one of the recent weddings the
bride carried a prayer book, marked
to open at the marriage service, and
from which she was to read the re-
sponses and follow the service. The
practical joker was present, of course,
for there was never a wedding at
which the practical joker was not.
Just before the ceremony he slipped
the brides prayer book into his peck
ct and left arother In its place which
he had borrowed for the occasion.
When the bride opened 1t at the altar
she was a BIT surprised. and for a mo-
ment was lost in wonder as to what

and bent her head over the book with
no evidence of anything wrong.
The practical Joker had substituted
a prayer book printed in German, and
the tride could read only English.
Nevertheless. she had studied the
ceremony carefully and made the re-
sponses at the proper time and in the
words set down in the ritual.-Utica
