Some STRANGE WEDDINGS
Three Australian Brothers Married
Three Sisters on the Same Day
Two Sets of Twins.

OF strange weddings there appear
to be no end. and the following are
few Of the instances in poiut:
There are some very remarkable
coincidents in the series of Quinn
Hoffman weddings. A year or two
ago. at Adelong. Australia. three
brothers named Quinn married, on the
same day. three sisters of the name OF
Hoffman; but the most curious part
Of it is that two of the brothers were
twins and these were married to two
Of the Hoffman girls, who also were
twins Again. some time previous.
another brother of the Quinns married
another girl of the Hoffman family.

A somewhat similar occurrence hap
pened in Trail Village. England. when
four sons Of Mr. John Somers We're
married, ON the same day. to four
daughters OF n Mr. Hochsettler-a
wellto-do farmer Of the neighborhood.
The four couples all took up abode in
the vicinity
A marriage which caused much
talk at the time was celebrated in
1896. between the Marin and Rhesume
families. who lived in the parish Of
Sainte Marie. Quebec.
The parties were neighbors. and
the four sons OF the one family ar
ranged marriages with the four daugh-
ters of the other. and so perpetuated
the old adage that exchange is no
robbery ."-W Widow.

Gold bricks OF brass I've made to pass
with all con mans dash
I've been a counterfeiter too. an made
a greasy note;
i've held up trains out on the plains
but never sold my vote
i've worked the shells at county fairs,
an pockets. too. I've picked;
I've sold fake stocks in thousand blocks
the come-op have tricked;
Each victims tears were Ike three
cheers whene'er ia get his goat;
Yet though. old pard. my heart was hard.
1 never sold my vote.
I've burgled here and burgled there. an
run racin book;
You'll find my name is one o. fame with
almost any crook.
But set this down"-the dying breath was
rafting in his throat
Although I've been a man o. sin, 1 never
sold my vote"
