been signed by the fathers of two
well-known families of this county,
who will become connected by mar
riage in the near future.
Cassian Bart, age 20, and Elizabeth
Boldi, age II, have been sweethearts
for years and their desire to wed has
been made known to the parents No
objections have been raised and,
while both prospective bridegroom
and bride declare that the eternal
love for each other assures a most
happy welded life, the parents have
decided to do all that is possible in a
legal way to prevent divorce or any
other pitfalls for the young married
couple.
Accordingly a bond has been signed
by the father of each family, Bart's
father promising that his son will
not loaf, gamble, drink, play pool or
dance with young women other than
his wife, his pledge being a $500 farm.
The bride-elects father has deposited

Mrs. Elizabeth Watt is also keeping
her eyes open for hostile act by her
neighbors in the house at $50 West
Forty-second street. They have pro-
tested against the coffin being in the
tenement and although the agent, H

eighty-five-year-old woman, ne has
been unable to persuade her to move
the bier to some other place. She is
determined to keep it near her all the
time, SO that when the end comes she
may be sure that she will rest in
coffin that will be the envy of all
Mrs. Watt has the coffin directly
under the picture of her husband. who,
she says, has been dead 20 years. Her
one ambition now, she admits, is to
earn enough money to buy silver
plate for the coffin and have it right

Mrs Watt says the reason she has
purchased the coffin is that she has no

chuckles, "but they can't or won't take
