NOT A REAL FAIRY STORY.

Once upon time" said little Har-
rvs grandmother, who had been pre-
vailed upon to tell a fairy story, there
was poor old woman who had to
take quite long journey in a street
car. The motorman was careful, when
he saw her waiting, to stop his car
exactly at the crossing, so that she
could get aboard without stepping in
the mud, which was very deep in the
street, and the conductor reached
down kindly and carefully helped her
up the steps. The platform was crowd
ed with men, who considerably press
ed aside SO that the poor old woman
could get into the car without great
deal of trouble. Many people stood in
the aisle of the car, but all of them
moved forward voluntarily when the
poor old woman tried to get in, thus
making it unnecessary for her to Stun
Bile over the feet of any of them in
order to get past the door. The only
man who had seat was a cripple,
who was wedged in between two large,
richly dressed ladies', and who could
not have surrendered his place to the
poor old woman even if he had wanted
to do so. But it was not necessary
for him to exhibit any gallantry. A
very beautiful and stylish looking
young lady stood up Immediately and
offered her seat to the poor old wom-
an, who accepted it thankfully. But
the beautiful young lady said: 81 do
not deserve any thanks. l have done
only what it was my duty to do"
Gee, grandma, that's no fairy
story"
What would you call it, then?"

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING
Another Beautiful Ceremony Per
formed in Extra Tuesday in the
Presence of a Large Crowd

One of the pleasantest events of
the season took place at the home
of Mr.. Edwin Delahoyde last Tues
day at 2:3O O'clock when Miss Mollie
Delahoyde was united in the holy
Leake, formerly of Audubon but
now located in sandusky, Ohio.
About seventy-fve guests assem-
bled to witness the ceremony which
was performed by Rev. Richardson
of the Congregational church.
The impressive Episcopal service
united these two, and, as their
voices 30 confident and strong, fol-
lowed the one whom they had
chosen to bind them together, low
ing friends and relatives alike,
prayed for their happiness and
prosperity.
The spacious rooms were beauti.
fully decorated with smilax and
cut flowers; and, with curtains
drawn and lighted gas, the home
appeared palace. Promptly at
the appointed hour, Will Wissler
of Atlantic stepped to the piano
and sang beloved it is Morn" with
Mrs. Ella Boorman-Bell of Chi
cago az accompanied. During the
singing the bride and groom took
their places unattended and as the
last echo died away and the pianist
softly played wedding march,
the minister spoke the wonderful
words which changed the lives of
the two of our most respected and
most talented young people.
After Mr.. and Mrs. Leake had
been introduced to the assemblage

Those who were present from

away to catch the $50 train but the
guests from Extra and those who
came from the south land remained
to view the many. tokens of love
left by appreciatiye friends, and to
have one more chance to say
goodbye.
The bride was beautifully gown
ed in white and looked her own

Edwin, in the bank for several

old and young alike. She will be
sadly missed by her friends as well
as by her immediate relatives, who
feel that one place is vacant which
no one else can fill. Mr.. Leake is a
stranger to US but it is recomme n.
dalton enough that he was consid

chose to be his wife. He has lived
