WEDDING BELLS
Pealing Loud and Clear, Two Fond
Hearts United For Better
Or For Worse

Henry E. Leighty and Miss Jennie
Clark were united in marriage at the
home of the bride in Hamlin township
Wednesday evening Aug. Goth before
a small and select crowd of friends and
relatives of the contracting parties.
Mr.. Leighty was raised near the home
of Miss Clark and their acquaintance
dates from childhood's estate. He is q
young man of excellent habits and
raised under strict Christian iaflu-
ence. His footsteps have been direc-
ted in the right direction by an hon
orable parentage, and their prayers
will ascend for his guidance.
Miss Jennie Clark was born near
Gray and received her education ia
that city. She is one Of Gods noblest
creation, loving kind and true. She
moveo with her parents several years
ago to their new home and here abe
has applied herself to hard work. Her
accomplishments are many and her
nature so full of good, pure and whole
some deeds and thoughts, that the
younger folks will miss her exem plary
Christian characteristics. The Journal
office congratulstes these young peo-
pie and trust their joys may be many,
and reverses few

Chinese Fear Decapitation.

The common punishment of decapi.
tation in China is considered to be the
most severe of all punishments. This,
to a Chinaman, is the greatest disas-
ter which could possibly happen to
him. He would rather die thousand
deaths, each more cruel than the 9th
er, if he could only retain a perfect
body to the end He believes that aft
er death he goes into the dark land"
where life is continued much as it is
in this world. He believes that if he
is deprived of his head he will be-
come headless ghost and be doomed
to perpetual sorrow Should he wish
to marry, no woman would ever dream
of taking a man without head. His
hands might grasp the chopStickS but
there would be no mouth to receive
the food He would never be able
to find his road anywhere, and the
shades in that mysterious land would
start with terror from him as he
CROPPED his way through the shadows.
Give any Chinese criminal choice
between decapitation and any of the
most cruel deaths and he will in
stantly choose the latter.

HAS LEARNED LESSON.
Never Again Will Fetch His Daush.
ter's Young Man from the Train.

A Louisville business man who re.
Gently took summer home about 10
miles in the country had an adven-
ture the other night that has, he says,
taught him to not do too much for
young fellows who might be calling on
his daughter.
The other night" says he, 81 al
lowed the coachman to go, and did not
discover until after he had gone that
sly daughter was expecting a young
man caller. There was nothing to do
bat to hitch up the horse myself and
&C to the station to meet him.
When the car rolled in, just one
youngster alighted and as he an
swered the description of the fellow
coming to see my daughter | saun-
tered up to him and inquired if he
might be Mr..
How did you Snow?' replied the
chap with tone of disgust at being
addressed thus by the 'coachman.
The caller was loaded into the car
rage and the journey to the house
was begun. To break the ice I told
him | had understood that he was in
certain line of business, and again
came the naughty: How did you
know?
During the remainder of the jour
ney the young man sang popular
songs. When we arrived at the house
| put the caller out and proceeded to
the stable to put UP the horse. After
this work had been completed l re-
turned to the house just in time to
overhear the young man ask my
daughter:
Who was that fresh guy that
brought me over here to-night?'
when told that the fresh guy was
her father, l thought the caller would
wilt, and then | decided to put in an
appearance about that time. He
jumped up and said that if he had
known | wanted to put up the horse
he would certainly have helped. My
advice to fathers-and | shall here
after stick to what | am preaching-is
never to go to all that trouble for
