out, ostensibly for buggy ride, and
before they returned the words had
been spoken and the vows made
which were to make them one for
ever.
"Will you tell your people tonight? ?"
asked the groom. The bride shivered.
20, cant!" she said.
"Why?" questioned the young hus-
band eagerly.
Because papa would spank me-" re
piled the newly made wife.
And so the telling was postponed
time and time again, while Singley
continued to call at the house as ha
had done previous to the wedding.
One Sunday morning, however, the
daughter felt that she could bear lead
ing a double life no longer. So while
her mother and father and herself
were seated in the parlof she rnbur-
dened her soul.
There was moments awful silence.
Then the mother gathered her child
into her arms and wept over her. The
father, unable to be stern in the face
of so much emotion, came over and
awkwardly patted the two on the back.

there was happy family reunion, and
now to Mrs. Singley her spankings
are but a memory which is gradually
fading away.

At least that is what the widow
thought. She put on her wedding

to be performed. The wedding guests
were there and the bride was smiling
happily.
But the smile changed from natural

But the bridegroom came not. Mes

for their trip and the members of the
company were waiting at the stage
entrance, where the cabman had been
instructed to drive.
The man on the cab had unfurled a
great red banner, "Just Married." and
like band of Indians the actresses
attacked the coach, hurting huge fist
fuls of rice, flour, shoes, etc., while the
bride and groom in the cab squealed
their protests.
When the supply of things to throw
was exhausted the cab was allowed to
drive away, but the driver was in
structed to keep going round and
round the common. Three times the
cab passed along fremont street,
where big crowd had gathered,
laughing and cheering. The wheels
had been tied with white ribbon and
about dozen pairs of shoes we're
trailing along behind, fastened by rib
bons.
On the third trip around the cab
slowed up because the horse was tired,
and the bridegroom leaped out, ran to
the animals head, and held it while
the bride made her escape. They ran
into hotel for shelter, pursued by a
laughing crowd. They were on duty
at the theater that night, where we'd
ding gift was presented.
After the play was out, there was a
merry reception held. The bride was
asked to explain just how she felt as
she was being driven around and
around the common. She said:
20, in the first place l was mad
just plain mad. Angry couldn't quite
express it. 1t seemed to me that I
was being made perfect fool of and l
am not sure but that was. Even then
though 1 had company" She cast a
laughing glance at her husband. He
smiled back at her. Then she con-
tinued:

Then she looked at him with tear

you," said Macdonald. II will marry
you in spite of your money"
They were married ct midnight and
slipped away to California, where they
are now honeymooning at Los Angeles.
Within a few weeks they expect to

Butte girl was as popular socially as

youth back in Butte who was clerkins

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for Woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia e. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman'S ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.
