The Editor OF THE Gaylord (Okla) Sentinel
wrote an account of his own wedding in his paper
the other day: This is the first instance in sew

dared to tell the truth about wedding for fear of
getting licked. and does with keen relish.
The bridegroom is editor, and is not a popular
and accomplished leader of society-in fact. he
doesn't know much about it as a rabbit His
hair is red. and the freckles on his face crowd

distinguish him from a telephone pole He has
considered that the future looked very bright
promising-it has always kept him too busy paw
ing his board bills to have any dreams about future
greatness. He is just common sort of a fellow
and claims distinction only In that he is a Kansan
from the soes OF his clumsy feet TO the top of his
head. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. n. J. White. and born and raised in
