CUNNING CUPID
limerick -Wheatley Marriage Sc
Cret for Many Weeks

A pretty little romance has been con-
summated right here in our midst. One
in which the Little God of the Barbed
Arrow put over in spite of adverse cir
cumstances and parental objections.
On the 10th day of January last, two
very timid but enthusiastic young peo-
pie, it is hardly necessary to say that
they were of opposite sexes, gently
approached our benignant, suave and
inspiriting County Cupid, Harley Har-
mon and besought that accommodating
individual to issue them marriage
license-but on his sacred word of
honor he was not to divulge under any
circumstances the existance thereof.
And Cupid promised. Perchance be-
hind his spinx-ike exterior lurked the
possibility that some day he himself
would fall victim to his own license
book. At any rate he fell for it. Like
wise Judge Lillis, this postmaster in
the art of welding matrimonial joints
has had. innumerable similar expert
ences and under his Stetson he held his
peace.
Miss Carrie E. Wheatley, the bride
on this occasion is the youngest daugh-
ter of the late Judge John Wheatley of
Searchlight, one of the oldest pioneers
of Lincoln county. He lived in Phoebe
in the early days and went to Search
light when that prosperous mining
camp was nothing but few scattered
tents. He was it's first postmaster and
first justice. Ben Emrick, formerly a
Searchlieht resident and now the leader
of the Las Vegas orchestra, also cap
tain and pitcher of the local ball team
was the groom.
Or the day in question, Miss Wheat
ley mace nylng trip TO Las Vegas,
met her fiance, was married and re-
turned TO her home the same evening.
The couple has been engaged for some
two years and the young lady's family
objected to any immediate marriage on
account of her youth. Gradually the
news leaked out in Searchlight and the
brides mother was made cognizant of
the facts with the happy result that
everything was forgiven and on last
Sunday, the newly made bride rejoined
her husband.

The Story of a Famous Hymn.

The famous hymn beginning "God
moves in a mysterious way" known
as "Cowper's Hymn" had its ori-
gin as follows: Cowper was all his
life the victim of melancholia and
more than once attempted suicide
One day, bent upon destroying himself
he got into a cab and ordered the
driver to take him to a certain point
on the river where he intended to
drown himself. The cabman, noticing
his strange appearance and feeling
that all might not be right with him,
drove him about the city and finally
stopped in front of the poets door.
Stepping out and recognizing the old
familiar surroundings and shocked at
the thought of his narrow escape,
Cowper exclaimed, God moves in
mysterious way his wonders to per
FORM" and, rushing in, immediately
composed the immortE hymn.

The Man With a Cold.

The sympathy given to the man with

We know, or at least we think we

that he is thoroughly wretched, yet
we are equally certain that in three
days or so he will be coming upstairs
two at time. This does not comfort
him, though he may know 1t himself.
He therefore feels himself an outcast
a pariah. He is cut off from the
ordinary human relations. If he SO
much as kisses his wife or child he
is blackguard, mentally self convict
ed Of it. Nobody loves him, and he
may go out into the kitchen and drink
cough sirup.-Boston Transcript.
