JUNE BRIDES.
Three Couples Are Made Happy By LoVa apa

THUS let me hold thee to my heart.
And every care resign;

Thus let me hold thee TO my heart,
And every care resign;
And shall we never, never part,
My life-all that is mine."
This is the time of the June Bride,
the time when Cupid sings the sweet
est his songs of Love, because every
thing smiles upon the bIushing bride
and the manly groom-the flowers
bloom for them, the trees and the
grasses put out their verdant garb
for them. the brook whispers in
sweeter ripples for them, the birds
carol in MARBLES that seem to know
that the God of Love is on the
throne.
It 10 the time when man looks for
the realization of AppIeton's immor-
tai poem-that stanza which says:
Somewhere she waits to make
you win,
Your soul in her firm white hand;
Somewhere the Gods have made
for you
The woman who understands"
Three June brides and three
("June bugs?") is the record for Ope-
lousas in the past two weeks-six
young people who should be happy,
because they are happily mated.
Mr.. H. G. Williams and Miss Annie
McClelland were married at the resi-
denee of the groom's grandmother,
Mrs. Kate Goodloe, on the evening of
the 9th, at 7::30 o'clock, Rev. May.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 26.-Ton Jones,
manager of AID Wolgast, lightweight
champion, is on his way to San Fran
cisco, where he opens to arrange a
match between Wolgast and owen
Moran of England. Before leaving
for the coast2 ones was importuned
by managers of several small fry
fighters to take on their men. but to
all he turned n deaf ear
Packey Mcfarland. fresh from the
British isles and loaded down with
money, wants n go with the Michigan
wildcat. AS soon as he arrived i'm town
he aimed point blank challenge at
the champion and claims he will force
a match.
1--WE will talk business with McFar-
land at any time" declared Jones.
"We are willing To fight any one IL n
suitable purse is hung up. If Nc
Farland can make the 1913 pounds
necessary and the purse is all right
he can have n fight at any time. L
believe that Wolgast can beat Nc
Farland easier than he did Nelson, as
he is not as tough fighter as the
Dane"
Jones has an offer from James Cof-
froth of $5, 600 for n contest with Nor
an. but thinks that the battle is worth
more.

HOW DOOM MADE START
in ORGANIZED BASEBALL

Charles Doom. manager of the Phil
lies, never forgets his first profess
sional baseball engagement Born i'm
Cincinnati, Doom learned the game
on the lots. Although small to the
and while as young as 16 he was re-
garded as the best amateur catcher
i'm Cincinnati. He kept on improving
and shortly afterward went to the St.
Joseph (Mo.) team of the Western
league.
There is wonderful catcher in
Cincinnati by the name of Doom. He
is an amateur, and his release won't
cost penny. Give him trial and
youll never regret it,"
That was the tip handed to the St
Joseph manager. The latter decided
to give Doom trial. and he was or
dered to report for duty when the
season opened.
The next spring Doom boarded n
train for st. Joseph. on arrival he
sought the manager. There was GER
tainly nothing impressive about his
1870 pounds avoirdupois as he approach
ed the manager and said, nervously:
'I-I-fm Doom, your new player"
Great Caesars ghost!" shouted
the manager sizing him up doubt
fully. Il wanted a catcher, not a
jockey. Why. you haven't strength
enough to sweep out n parlor, let
alone catch some of the 6-footers on
