starting his honeymoon on oath to
obey his wife. His promise to do so
came about by the confusion of City
Magistrate Levy when he joined
Evans aged %, and Margaret Cook,
aged 19, in marriage. AS he came to

should have asked Evans if he would
love and cherish his wife, the magis-
trate asked:
Will you promise to love. honor
and obey?'
Evans replied: Il will" The mis-
take was afterward pointed out, but
Evans was willing to abide by the
promise. agreeing with the magis-
tTate that he would have to obey any
way The court tried to even things
up by lecturing the brice on cooking
:. Love certainly flies out of the win
dow if a woman cannot cook" said

the American troops was not gem
orally known until the Thomas reach

Every possible precaution is being
taken by the military authorities to
prevent further spread of the disease,
and Colonel Arthur states that there
is no cause for alarm for the safety
of the other troops.
