"Just for fun" two young persons
stood up at church entertainment in
Iowa and went through mock mar
riage. 1t happened that the actor
who took the part of the clergyman
was notary public and the wedding
was almost, if not quite, real under the
the law. Only in legitimate drama is
there justification for an acted mar
riage. A burlesque wedding in a
church may not be seriously immoral,
says the Youths Companion, but it
shows a perverted. humorless idea of
fun, and Americans think they have u
keen, sane sense of humor.
Armed with 40 Colts that looked

the terrified patrons, calmly took his
departure with parting shot that any
one showing his head outside the door
within five minutes would be blown to
the other place. Perhaps $25 covered
the booty. He had an abnormal amount
of nerve, whoever he is, but he selected
poor crowd upon which to display his
