We were a little too young, you
know"
She laughed and took a recon-
noitering look into the next room.
The husband still was out of sight.
I'll tell you just how it was. 1
had been up here at my daughters
and had gone down to Waukegan to
install some officers in the Wauke-
gan relief corps. I'm past president.
That was Thursday. Friday night
my son-in-law gave a party for his
little boy. Mr.. Booth and l were
invited. Well, We went down to the
train and just about the time it was
starting l noticed he wasn't acting
just right.
Pretty soon he leaned over to me.
What do you say if l go to the
court house this afternoon he said
kind of bashful like. l drew back
and just looked at him. why Mr..
Booth said, what on earth are you
talking about?' He waited minute
and then he leaned over to me again
and his voice was sort of soft and
whispery like-well, you know how
| it is. TO get the license
FINDS 1T HARD TO PROPOSE.
"Of course l knew just as well
what he was talking about as any
thing, but l didn't let on. l guess
it was a bit hard for him to come
straight out and say 1t, because he
looked out of the window a moment
and then he looked at the seat in
front of him and then he leaned
over again. To get married, he
said.
Then 1 looked out the window
wasn't frightened. l was JUS
thinking. All of a sudden it strucl
me ! had a black dress on. 'EC
Booth l said finally, I can't ge
married today. Why, I've got ;
black dress on But he Just smiled
at me. why, I'd just take you il
any kind of a dress, white or black,
he replied.
What could l do? So We jus
got off the train, came uptown AM
got the license and were married be
fore Judge Petit about O'Clock
Then We came out here to the hous
and kept it a secret as long as W
could When We couldn't hold /
any longer, we took my daughte

JAIL AND FINE.

At Auburn, last Saturday, Supreme
Court Justice Spear handed out two Jail
sentences in addition to fairly good sized
fines, and in default of payment of fines
the Jail sentences are to be extended.
Should the same policy be continued in
every county, the rum business would
soon become unpopular.
Then the old trick OF delay by appeal
should be no longer tolerated, as Stats
tics show that almost invariably the
lower court is sustained. End the case
on the evidence, and the people will have
more respect for the courts and law.
Let the law do that which it is supposed
to be intended to do and lawbreakers
will have a care.
Jail and fine, in every case of persist
ent law violation, would turn the trick.
But, most of all, we need a drastic
law for the punishment OF officials who
violate their oaths of office. The very
worst criminal unhung is the official who
takes pay for serving the public and at
the same time joins the lawbreakers in
violation of the laws he has sworn to
enforce.
In the past year there has been con.
stantly growing disrespect for law be-
cause rumsellers and other criminals
have carried on their unlawful business
practically without interference, and
always under the encouragement OF
denun citation of law by those highest If
authority. -Kennebec Journal.

MINCE PIE IN HISTORY.
[From the Milwaukee, Wisconsin,


Apropos the Washington decision as to
what constitutes real mincemeat, the
story of the career of the mince pie is
worth relating. Its sway over the
Christmas affections has been long, for
its origin is lost in the midst Of the cui-
sine of the Middle Ages. In the litera-
ture of the late Tudor times we often
find it referred to under various names,
such as mutton pye, shred pye, Christ
mas pye, December pye, as well as under
variations of its present name, such as
minced pie and minct pye. An English
writer of the seventeenth century in a
Christmas ode says:
Without the door let sorrow lie,
And if for cold it hap to die
Well bury it in Christmas pie,
And evermore be merry.
But it is curious how the contents of
the mince pie has changed. Originally
its basis was mutton, shredded or minced,
hence "shred" mutton or minced" pie.
This mutton, in honor of the season, was
specially favored with tarious sweets,
such as raisins. currants and spices. The
mixture was then baked in oblong crusts,
the shape of which was supposed by
some to refer to the manger in which the
Holy Child was laid. This crust was not
inappropriately known by the quaint
name of the COFFIN" By degrees the
proportion of meat to sweetmeat dimin-
ished, and nowadays it is often wholly
omitted and the mincement is merely
conglomeration of currants, raisins and
apples, with only suet to represent the
animal world. In Puritan days the mince
pie fell on evil days, for to the rigid
ideas of the Roundheads:
Plum broth was popish and mince pie
Oh, that was fiat idolatry.
