For the fourth time in his life,
Brodie L. Duke was married
Saturday morning. After an IN
successful attempt to secure a
preacher in Washington he went
with bis bride over into New
Jersey where the ceremony took
place. His wife was Miss Wy.
lanta Rochelle, the daughter Of q
Durham merchant.
Although Mr.. Duke is 62 years
old and the bride is %, the mar.
riage was a runaway affair.
Mrs. Duke was in Washington
where she had been for some
time In school, her expenses be-
ing paid by Mr.. Duke. Arriving
at the capital Friday morning,
Mr.. Duke, despite carefully ar
ranged plans, was not able to
have the ceremony performed
there. He made arrangements

out the past matrimonial history
Of the groom, refused to tie the
knot. Frustrated in his attempt,
the groom with his wife-to-be,
went unobserved to Camden,
New Jersey, where they secured
a Justice Of Peace toperform the
ceremony.
Mr.. Duke has been married
four times, and three of his wives
are now living. His second mar.
rage, after the death Of BIZ frsi
wife, resulted in a divorce Is did
his third marriage.
Every effort was made by hi:
family to stop the last wedding,
but they were unable to reach
him before the ceremony was
performed. When asked to make
q statement for the public, Mr..
Duke said, Tell them I'm as
happy as a king"
The couple is spending a short
time In Washington. and will re.
turn to Durham in a short time

The balalaika impends, new and
most unpleasant rival to the mandolin,
the concertina and the banjo. It comes
from Russia and it has already taken
London by storm. Before long, unless
Congress comes quickly to the rescue
with drastic legislation, the Baltimore
Sun asserts, 1t will invade our fair
republic, filling the air Of freedom with
its discords and driving all honest mu'

The balalaika, 1t should be ex.

with three strings. One of those
strings is tuned to the A of the treble

tuned to E.. The thing is operated by
plucking the strings with the right
hand, the notes being produced by
sliding the thumb of the left hand
up and down the two E strings. The
A string is seldom touched by the lett
