Her Weddino March.

A young girl who had never heard
of Mendelssohn's Wedding March"
but was familiar with the more popu-
lar parody on it, was a witness to a
wedding ceremony in an uptown
church recently. AS the betrothed
pair walked with dignified tread to-
ward the altar to be wed and the or
gan pealed forth MendelssOhn's inspir-
ing march, the young girl was plainly
shocked. When she arrived at her
home she told her mother of the cere-
mony and innocently exclaimed:
What do you think, mother, they
played Gee Whiz! I'm glad I'm
Free"

Exhortlna the Ducks.

There are two tiny boys in this town
whose mother sings often to them at
their request, and as she is an ardent
church woman, the children hear as
many hymns as anything else. The
other day they were playing with their
wooden ducks in the bathtub, and
strangely enough the ducks were more
inclined to float sideways than in the
approved manner. After several at
tempts to keep the misguided ducks
straight the older boy shouted:
Stand up, duck, stand up!" Then
two-year-old, noting the familiar
phrase, leaned over the tub and ex,
horted "'Tand up, duck! 'Tand up
for Jesus!"
