THEY were awfully young-but o,
Pretty 1S-year-old Marjory j.
Savin of Washington and Edwin Pill
son, aged 10 years, son of millionaire
railroad man, were secretly married in
Washington the other day, the first in
timation OF the wedding being given
when the youthful bride walked up to
her father-in-law and dangled before
his astonished eyes her marriage GER
tificate.
I'm one of the family now" she an.
nounced calmly, with dimpling cheeks.
And you'll have to support me some
how because I'm ma-a-r-ried now"
Benjamin F. Pilson, clear headed
man of affairs, started wildly forward
In his chair and seized the paper from
the laughing girl. He read 1t carefully.
Then he looked up. His eyes were
twinkling.
We'll, you've sprung surprise on
the old man this time" he said, genial
ly. Then he arose and placed both
hands on the slender shoulders; then
he bent down and kissed his newly
made daughter on her forehead
you are extremely welcome" he
said sincerely.
For several years young Pilson and
Miss Savin had been sweethearts. Not
long ago Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B. Alexander,
the uncle and aunt with whom the
young girl lived. decided to go for
six months jaunt to Europe. They
took their niece with them. Before
she left this country, however, she
and Pilson had plighted their troth
and agreed to marry at the earliest
possible opportunity.
After several weeks stay In Europe
Miss Savin persuaded her lenient rel
atives to allow her to return to
America. When she arrived in Wash
ington the Prisons, with whom she al
ways had been friendly, asked her to
remain with them until Mr.. and Mrs.
Alexander could come home. Gladly
she accepted the invitation. None Of
the family suspected what was on
foot.
But they are "ma-a-rried now" and
everybody seems happy.

Millionaire Pilson, until we can de
eide on a business career for the boy

happy-so am l."

TT has been said that love laughs at
\ locksmiths. This may be true, but
that love does not laugh at spank
ings has been demonstrated in the
case of 19-year-old Mrs. William Sing
ley, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
w. Weaver of 1915 Porter street, Phil
adelphia, who, dreading the descent
of the parental hand, kept her wed
ding a secret for six long months.
A year ago young Singley and Miss
Weaver, who were both members OF
the Trinity Lutheran church, met at a
basket social, where they were paired
off to eat from the same basket. The
moment that their eyes met each
knew" that the other was "the only
one"
Il want to call on you" young Sing
ley said earnestly that night after he
had seen Miss Weaver home and as
he was leaving her at the gate. Blush
ingly the girl named time when he
might come.
This was the beginning Before
many calls had been made the two
were betrothed. A little more time
went on. Then one day Singley made
his appearance with a marriage IL
cense and a gold ring. The two went
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.

ONE TEST FOR PEARLS.

Berlin Hotel Porter's Experiment
That Was Not Success.
The porter of one of the leading Ber-
lin hotels has just had a curious adj
venture. Some time ago a dealer in
pearls who was stopping at the hotel
told him an infallible way to distin-
guish real pearls from false, which
was to put them on the ground and
stamp on them. If real they would
resist the test; IL false they would be
crushed.
i The porter, however, never had a
chance of putting this theory to the
test until a few days ago. The direct
or of a we'll known company in Berlin
while. dining at the hotel lost a valua-
BILE pearl pin. This was found by the
waiter, who gave it to the porter to
return to its owner.
The porter saw his opportunity had
come at last to test the quality of a
pearl He put the pin on the ground,
placed his heel on 1t and ground it to
powder. When the owner arrived to
claim it there was somewhat stormy
scene, but he was good natured
enough to consent to say no more
about the affair on the porter refund
ing half the value of the pin, 800
marks. In future the porter will sub.
NIT any jeWeiry he may ind for ex-
pert opinion. 4

The Telephone.

The Telephone.
Professor Alexander Graham Bell is
reported to have explained in a lecture
how he came to invent the telephone
as follows:
y father invented a symbol by
which deaf mutes could converse, and
finally I invented an apparatus by
which the vibrations Of speech could be
seen, and it turned out to be te1e-
phone. It occurred to me to make a
machine that would enable one to hear
vibrations. i went to an aurist, and he
advised me to take the human ear as
my model. He supplied me with dead
mans ear, and with this ear expert
mented, and upon applying the appara-
tus found that the dead mans ear
wrote down the vibrations. Is
Il arrived at the conclusion that If /
could make iron vibrate on a dead
mans ear I could make an instrument
more delicate which would cause those
vibrations to be heard and understood.
Thought IL placed delicate piece Of
steel over an electric magnet IS could
get vibration, and thus the telephone
was completed.
.'The telephone arose from my at
tempts to teach the deaf to speak. 1t
arose from my knowledge, not Of cleo
tricity, but as a teacher of the deaf.
Had been an electrician would not
have attempted it,
