HAPPINESS Postponed.

An awkward predicament in which
a sailor bridegroom and his bride were
placed in ST. Mary Majors church, Elk
eter, Devonshire, England, recently,
caused the postponement Of their we'd
ding. The banns had been duly called
at the church, but when the parties
presented themselves at the altar the
bridegroom, who had been recently
paid off from his ship at Portsmouth,
was unable to produce the necessary
permission from his commander. The
bride swooned, and eventually re-
turned home, while the bridegroom
left for Plymouth to get the required
document.

claimed that they could not be held

which transfers the unused portion OF
the income of the state fish and game

REPORTED BY THE CROUCH
Here the Original Hiram J. Tells OF
His Attendance at Country
"Function."

Having nothing else to do re-
marked the old codger, Il attended
function while l was over at Tor
pidville the other day. The affair
was held in a dispirited grove at the
end of a road in which every time
a horse popped down his foot the dust
shot up In the air like skyrocket.
A band was playing without the
slightest remorse. A statesman, with
ed forth redundant nonenities with
out end. A sad and rickety merry
go-wabble wound round and round
to the sound of it's own plaintive pee
dle-deedle. in a tipsy pavilion a
hoarse person was endeavoring to sell,
in brazen defiance of the pure food
and drug act, what looked alarmingly
like horned toads fried in axle-grease.
A gentleman in striped tent near
by hoarsely stated that he preferred
to eat snakes at ten cents per ser
pent. There was the usual balloon
which seemed perfectly willing to do
anything but go up. Scattered around
through the festal scene were few
old soldiers, grumbling; smattering
of farmers, also grumbling; sundry
honest voters, likewise grumbling;
and various other folks, nothing about
whom is worth mentioning except
that they, too, were grumbling. 1t
may have been a reunion, fair,
rally, a picnic, or what-not; but what
ever they CHANGED to call it, twas an
excellent example of one of our most
cherished institutions. kansas City

Really Had Best of It.

John Burroughs is we'll known as
one of the foremost of nature writer's
In this country. Some time ago he
visited his brother, Eden Burroughs,
who lives in the Catskills, at a place
called Hobart. The two brothers went
fox hunting together. The honor of
the hunt came to Eden, who shot the
only fox. 1t so happened that fox
skins were worth five dollars at that
time, and the successful Nimrod took
much pride in telling how he got the
better of the sage of Slabsides. Later,
In boasting to few friends about it
In the presence of his brother, John,
he was interrupted by, You have
Dragged about that fox hunt long
enough. You shot the fox, sold the
skin and got five dollars. l wrote a
little account of the hunt, and got
SIS from the magazine which publish
ed it. So there you are!"

Got Even With Old Crusty.

Old Crusty, as his name implied,
was not a man who was gifted with
geniality His neighbors, in fact, had
as little to do with him as possible.
However, when a new visitor came to
the town and moved into the house
next to him, and knowing not of Mr..
Crusty's little failing, there was like
ly to be trouble soon.
Wanting a book one day, he politely
inquired of Mr. C. If he might borrow
one from his library.
You're welcome to read books In
my library" was the ungracious re-
ply, "but l make it my rule never to
let any leave my house"
Some weeks later Mr.. c. was in
need of a lawnmower, and he asked
the loan of his nefghbor's.
Certainly" was the reply. 'But
since I make it rule never to let 1t
leave my lawn, you will be obliged to
use 1t here,"-Answers London.

Matter of ,IuSfica

Where shall justice begin, with
those who have power or with those
who suffer wrong? If exact and ideal
justice we're done, the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong
all that is their due, and the strong
would try to put their affairs in order
so that no just cause Of complaint
should exist anywhere. The unhappy
element In the relations of the strong
and the weak is that both are think
ing too much about exacting justice
and not enough about doing that

CARVING IL Too Far.

Scientific management, like any
other good thing, may be carried to
excess"
The speaker was r. Marriott
Thompson, the San Francisco scienti-
f1c management expert He continued,
says the New York Tribune:
I'VE scientific managers mustn't go
as far as Hustler went.
"Hussler was the proprietor of a
tremendous factory where scientific
management had reduced the mo.
lions of every hand from 500 to IT.
Hustler attended a very fashionable
wedding one day, wedding where
the ceremony was performed by a
bishop, assisted by a dean and a
canon, and in the most impressive
part of the writ Hussler, overcome by
his scientific management ideas, rush
ed up to the altar and pushed the
bishop and canon rudely back.

enough for little job like this !"

Age Of Valleys.

The erosive power of water is hard
to estimate with any degree of exact.
ness. A method of computing the
probable age of valleys will therefore
be welcome. even If the figures may
seem to some open question.
French scientist has lately reported
the results of his studies of the eros
:ve action of an ancient spring in the
valley Of Lauroux, near Lodeve,
France. This spring produces about
three and one-half quarts of water a
second and in every cubic meter OF
water (35,314 cubic feet), the scien.
fist found 362 grams of calcareous
sand. He estimates that the spring
erodes PAT pounds of rock daily, or
over As tons annually. In the course
Of century stream of this size
would be able to hollow out circular
cave 50 feet in diameter and 80 feet
in length. At the end of 1000 years
1t would make valley 80 feet deep,
81 feet wide and 23S feet long.
