Queer Weddings.

ut is hard to look over my record
of marriage services without contin
uous merriment," wrote the Rev. John
Henry BaTows, president of Oberln
college. In memoir of her fathers
life Miss Barrows gives some of his
experiences in his own words.
Il recall the marriage where the
awkward father of the bride, who
was himself nearly seven feet tall,
tried to kneel when his daughter knelt
and who required help after the bene-
diction to bring him to his feet again.
Il remember the loving groom who
had come to my house to be wed and
who, after the ceremony, tenderly re-
marked:
Jennie has no friends here. doctor
| should be so glad if you would kiss
her.
II think of the young man in church
who walked with five other young men
up one aisle, while the bride and five
other young ladies walked up the 9th.
er aisle, the two forming a straight
military line before the altar, and
who, when | whisperingly asked him
his first name, replied in loud tones,
I do and who at the close of the
service took out ten dollar bill and
presented it in the presence of the
entire congregation.
II think Of the couple whom / called
by wrong names, saying, Do you,
George? Do you, Martha" when
was really addressing John and Jane.
In hurriedly glancing over the license
| had read the names of the brides
father and mother instead of those of

Joseph Jefferson was playing Sher-
idan's comedy of "The Rivals" in
Boston on one occasion many years
ago. His version of the play had been
arranged in such a way as to give
Bob Acres considerably more promi-
aence perhaps than the author origi-
nally intended, occasionally at the ex-
pense of the other characters. viii
liam Warren, the old comedian, sat
the play out and at its conclusion was
asked How do you like Jefferson's
Bob Acres?"

A clever smuggling trick has been
played on customs officer on the
Russo-German frontier An innocent
looking peasant reported to the officer
a plot for getting large number of
pigs across the frontier The method,
he said, would be to drive across at in
tervals of half an hour, 3, 6, II and 200
pigs, the smhgglers arguing that If the
first three lots could be sent over there
would be no trouble with the 200.
The officer was naturally on the alert.
In accordance with the PEASANTS state
ment three pigs were driven over, then
six, followed by twelve. All were al
lowed to pass, and preparations were
made to receive the 200. But no more
pigs appeared and the twenty-one ami
mails admitted had in the meantime
been lodged in safety:-Berlin Cor.

stateroOm Vittoria drew out that fool
ish little ring from its secret hiding
place and cried bit over it. She
wasn't so very far removed from the
girl Of seventeen after all.
Five weeks had gone by and Kent
Harding was still waiting for his an
swer from the unfathomable Miss
Lane. In the meantime VittOria's little
"bOX of home" in Greenwich village
had seen good deal of him. for Wit
tOria had proved herself such stanch
and sincere little friend that he had
elected to make her the confidant of
his passion for another woman. Five
weeks and then gradually she had
perceived a curious silence on Hard
ing's part-a constant inclination. when
Miss Lane was alluded to- to change
the topic of conversation.
One night Vittoria had given a small
dinner party. Harding, being privi-
legged for the sake of old times, had out
stayed the other guests. He seemed a
bit distracted. and it was a long time
before he could get his cigar to draw
properly. The silence somehow to Wit.
toria took on a terrifying tension. She
strove for some light thing to say.
Suddenly Harding looked up from his
cigar
"Vittoria." he said and put out his
hand and toucha1 herc
'She was gorgeous tonight, gor-
geous," observed Vittoria meditatively
Who? Why, Marion Lane. stupid"
Harding gazed at her bewilderedly
for a second. why yes, dare say
she was he admitted.
A day or two later Yittoria was read
ing newspaper. Her hand trembled
slightly as she laid it down. Then, her
dimpled chin in her palm, gazing into
the freight, she passed mentally
through panorama of events.
A man had entered so quietly that
she only knew of his presence when he
came and bent over her chair. Like
child caught in wrongdong her first
thought was TO rid herself of incrimi-
mating evidence In an instant she was
on her feet trying to hide the newspa-
per which announced Miss Lanes en-
gagement to an army officer.
Il have seen it," announced Harding
quietly, "and-I still live, you see"
oh, she exclaimed, stepping back
with little start. In few moments
she excused herself to give some orders
to her maid. When she returned Hard
ing met her with solemn but light
ened face.
1T wasn't only Marion Lane who
found out something in the time we've
been waiting" said he. I've found
out something too"
Don't she cried appealingly, and
she put up her hand as if to close him
out of her sight
Il found out that it was you l want
ed, not Marion or any one else, but
you-you as in the long ago You
haven't forgotten, have you, sweet
hearth?
The sunfiowers and the hollyhocks in
the background We're all gold and Grim
son. Then the mist cleared as, rever-
emily he took her hand and drew it
from her eyes.
NO, haven't forgotten said she
simply. And by her tear wet lashes he
knew that it was so.
