sit up with a start when he said that
he believed in closing up the churches
of the country for a limited time as an
experiment, for going to church is not
religion He further said that he was
in favor OF a man having an uprOar-

consist in going to church. Had I my

QUEER MARRIAGE MIX-UP
THAT CAUSED TROUBLE

The editor of one OF our ex-
changes tells an amusing story of a
typographical mistake i'm connection
with q marriage notice which came
in his experience. The story runs
thus; The bridegroom was man
by the name of Gum, whose father,
Abraham Gum, was leading cit
izen. The editor wanted to give
the young couple a good send-om
but turned in the copy and trusted
to drunken printer and drunken
proofreader to see that it got into
the paper all right. The next morn
ing he read the announcement,
headed "Gunsmith." The girls
name was Smith. The notice went
on to say that the blushing bride
was becomingly arrayed in dress
of white mule" instead of white
null" and that she carried large
red nose" The copy said rose. &"
He had written in regard to the
groom that he was the well-liked
son of A. Gum" The compositor
set it up "the wall-eyed son-of-a-
gun" .I..
The editor fired both the compos-
itor and the proofreader, but just
the same he was never able to
square it with either the bride or
the groom, or old man Gum.

Allan Pinkerton, never before pub

first plot to assassinate Lincoln.
Lincoln was on his way to Washing

was to kill him in Baltimore while
he was passing through that city on
his way. to Washington where he
was to be inaugurated. Pinkerton
discovered the plot, saved Lincolns
life, and tells the whole story in
this letter which was written in
1866 but never reached the public
until The American Magazine got
hold of it.
