A REMARKABLE MAN.
The cares and worries Of this life
He never quarrels with his wife,.
And is content, no doubt of it.
He gets no pesky monthly bills
And moneys naught at all to him.
He never knows financial ills:
He doesn't have to skimp and trim.
He takes no interest at all
In things political. you see.
He does not hear his country's call;
No office seeking man is he.
He cares not If it's wet or dry,
Or bitter cold or fiercely warm.
He cares not how the winds may sigh,
He never takes a passing glance
At the official weather map;
And there is not the slightest chance
That he could ever care a snap.
He's not afraid of footpads or
OF burglars who break in and steal.
He must go begging for
The price to buy a good square meal.
He doesn't car how prices soar.
The cost OF living is a joke.
He ne'er let's out a frenzied roar
The same as other common folk.
He lets things happen as they will
And takes the good right with the
bad.
Nc hobby can give him a thrill,
He's not a crank on any fad.
He never speaks an unkind word
About a single living soul.
For gossip is to him absurd.
His tongue is under strict control.
"Rcmarkablc." Of course, you say.
But this man you will never know.
Because. you see. it is this way:
They buried him ten years ago.

AEROPLANE WEDDINGS.
Preferable in Some Ways to Those
of the Ordinary Sort.

From the Newark News
There is much to be said in favor of
aeroplane weddings. but we shall say
only a little OF it on a day like this.
Let us indicate briefly a few salient
features of this new social institution.
The aeroplane wedding solves the prob
lem of the getaway. When the happy
couple depart in an airshp their loving
friends cannot scare the horses into run
ming away and breaking the brides neck.
Nor is it possible for them to throw
high enough to backen the bridegroom S
eyes with old shoes. The newly welded
pair are in fact, in a position to DOM
hard the wedding guests If they so desire.
A fiye-pound boot dropped on wedding
guest from a height of $50 feet ought to
bring him a tremendous amount or good
luck. according to the traditions OF we'd
ding festivity.
Fascinating. Imagine sailing along all
day without having to stand the poid'
bad gaze of a patent leather drummer IN
the seat across the aisle. fancy pelnS
too far up in the clouds to hear the RI
bald whistle of the young loafers at the
railway station.
But airship honeymoons are as sure to
come to an end as the other Kind. In
careless moment the bridegroom VIII

Thousands visited the house, until a
