Is a Scotch collie dog, for instance,
owner by taking his place in the
fields along with the hired hands and
husking corn. When the husking be-
gan he followed the men about the
field with apparent interest.
Suddenly, he ran to one Of the corn
stalks, stood up on his hind feet, pull
ed down the stalk. seized the ear OF
corn In his mouth and broke II off.
Then, with teeth and forepaw he
husked the ear and bore It to his
master TO be thrown into the wagon.
And the remarkable part OF 1t is
that the dog did this not once bul

In direct contrast to these unhappy
marital events, listen TO the tales Of
couples who entered the bonds Of
matrimony under difficulty. Back in
the summer u young Hollander went
before notary at Wichita Falls.
Texas, and registered his marriage
vows to young damsel over in Hol-
land who, at the same time, made
similar vows before an official In
Amsterdam. This unusual wedding
required the .nction Of the Neither
lands representative at washington
and the officials of the Department OF
State. The wife did not join her nus
band In this country until late In No
yember.
A remarkable marriage occurred In
May at Einsiedeln, In the SWISS
Lourdes. when a Swiss couple were
united after a separation OF forty-two
years They had become engaged In
1870. but, at the outbreak OF the war
between France and Germany, the
nee left Switzerland to serve In

lnx years they drifted apart each

losing three wives by death and the
wife three husbands.
Last January a man In West Vir-
ginia received letter that had been
mailed to him six years ago. The
letter was an acceptance Of his pro-
posal OF marriage from the girl OF
his choice. and took that length OF
time to travel the two hundred miles
that separated them. Where 1t has
