Kansas Marriage in Sos
by Justice was Unique.

Council Grove, Kan, Jan. A.
A record of a unique early-day
marriage ceremony here has just
been found among some old
documents in the Probate Judges
office at the courthouse. In the
late COS Squire" Arlington,
one Of the first settlers in the
county, widely known and well
liked, was elected a Justice of
the Peace. He had very little
book learning" and not much
knowledge of law, but he was a
rough and ready orator, and
when a couple appeared at his
office to be married he was equal
to the emergency, and although
he never before had married a
couple and had no form of proce-
dure to go by. Quite a crowd
came with the bride and groom
and one of them took down the
form of the ceremony as the
Judge said it.
After all the preliminaries had
beer arranged, Squire" Apling-
ton lined up the bride and groom,
Amos Peabody and Amanda
Thomas, and their witnesses be-
fore him. and said:
"Fellow-citizens: This here
man and this here woman have
appeared before this Court to be
hitched in the legal bonds of
wedlock. If any galoot in the
mob knows ANYTHING that might
block the game if took to a
higher court, let him toot his
bazoo or else keep his jaw to
himself now and forever more.
All in favor of my proceeding as
authorized by law say IT," con-
trary NO" Nobody says no.
and the motion is carried unani-
mously, and the Court rules there
is nothing to prevent the trying
of the case.
Nov Ito the couple) grip
your fins. (The couple joined
hands, Amos Peabody, do you
solemnly swear that you will
freeze to Mandy forever and pro-
vide for her and treat her square
and white, according to the
rules and regulations set down
to govern such cases in the laws
of the United States, so help you
God?"
Eyes sir, | do" Amos said.
That fixes your end of the
bargain. Mandy Thomas, do
you solemnly swear that you'll
hang to Amos for all coming
time; that you'll nurse him in
sickness and be square with him
in wellness; that you'll always
be to him a good, true. up-and-
up wife, under the penalties pre-
scribed for such offenses?"
Il swear l WILL" the bride re-
piled.
Then by the power vested in
me as Justice of the Peace in
and for Morris County. State of
Kansas. l, John Arlington, pro-
nounce you, Amos Peabody, hus-
band, and you, Mandy Thomas,
wife, and legalize you to remain
such now and forevermore, and
stand committed until the fees
and costs in the case are paid in
full, and may God have mercy
on your souls. Houston Pos.

l have dog named Mack, he Is
white and blue and has one brown
eye and blue one.
l have more fun with him we throw
sticks away up in the air and he
jumps up after them. He is so fat l
don't see how he can jump so high as
he does. He plays ball with me.
1t is so funny to see him ride in
the wagon. We pull him around just
like child. 1t is too funny to see
him fall when the wagon tips over,
then when turn the wagon up again,
he jumps in and we 60 on.
When | haul my little sister in the
wagon and the dog sees me, he comes
and gets in too. This will be all.

Robin Hood is the real name of my
dog but we call him Rob. He is
large Scotch Collie dog and is very
affectionate. When the chickens get

badly. He loves to run the cattle
home at night.
Eight baby pigs were born the

A PICNIC,
Grace Troy. (Age u. }

Chimacum, Wash, June II, 1913.
Dear Editor of the Children's Page:
l have been reading the Children IS
Page and enjoy it very much. I have
not entered any of the contests, but
am going to try for this one.
l am II years of age and live on a
farm called "Glendale" and the pic
mic [ tell about is one we have yearly
for the Townsend High School.
Every year we have the Towsend
High School out here for a picnic
and I am going to tell you about the
one we had this year. There we're
about 12O pupils. They came over on
a boat to Hadlock where we met them
with hay wagons with hay in the
bottom of the wagons. We brought
them up to our farm-the ride being
about two and one half miles.
On arriving they got out of the
wagon and did what they wanted to.
Pretty soon the boys had base ball
game and the girls watched that.
But pretty soon the hay barn became
the principal attraction, where they
found plenty of hay to play in, and
in the cow barn joining the hay barn
by bridge, they found car they
could push. So they called the rest.
The boys pushed the car while the
girls rode and then the girls pushed
the Car and let the boys ride.
Soon the dinner bell rang and they
all ran to the house. The dinner was
served outside, in cafeterian style.
They found boards ready. Then one
by one, would take their board and
go to the table, get plate, fork and
spoon and whatever they wanted to
eat.
After dinner they sat around and
rested, then played again. But pretty
soon it was time to go home, the hay
wagons came and they piled on.
They took them home. They got
home about six o'clock.

A SHORT VISIT WITH THE
CHILDREN.

We shall have contest for you to
work on. For your August contest
you are going to write about some
thing you all enjoy-that is, circus.
You all like to go to a circus. In
fact, you have never gone to enough,
so you want to go to every one that
comes to town and Of course you see
the parade If no other part.
Some of you like animals the best,
many be the camels or CRATES or the
funny little monkeys. Others of you
liked the chariots races; others, the
trapese performances and still others,
the clowns. We are not all alike, so
of course, we do not all like the same
part of circus.
So you are to tell US just which
part of the circus you liked best and
if you can, tell US why. There you
have Contest No. 4-"The Best Part
of Circus.'' The contest closes
September 1st. The prize winner
receives a book. Those who have
won these books are well pleased with
them. They are books you like to
read again and again-even after you
are grown.
Now, dearies, notice the time the
contest closes. Sometimes | receive
such nice compositions--but after
the contest has closed. So l say
again, this contest mo. a closes
September 1st The rules governing
the contest are the same as before:
Write with ink, on one side of the
paper only. Write your name, age
and address in the upper right hand
corner of the first page.
If you send a letter with your COM
position, be sure to write the letter
on a separate paper.
And remember we are all glad to
hear from the little readers of The
Ranch, so write us some letters even
if you do write compositions. On
this page is the prize winning COM
position, "My Pets" by Gladys
Rhodes of Grave, Oregon; also some
other good ones on the same subject,
as we'll as a few on GA Picnic" which
lust could not be omitted.

Miss Margaret Wye:
One day my brother was going after
our horses and ON his way back he
heard funny noise, so he got off the
horse to see what it was.
What do you think it was? 1t was
a tiny baby rabbit. He brought it
home and fed it and took care of it.
Then one night it took cold and died
the next day.
We leve cat too. 1t is black with
white collar and white paws. l call
him "Nigger''. He catches lots of
mice and chipmonks and is very
affectionate. He will sleep with any
body and isn't afraid of strangers.
Lots of times he crawls up on our
necks when we are eating.
l hope this is not too long letter.
Yours sincerely,
LILLIAN WINGETT.

I have some egg plants growing in a
a strawberry box, when they get big
enough, l will cut them out. 1t took
them an awfully long time to come
up. | thought the seeds were not

thought it was a joke when l first
heard Of it, but when you wrote about
them in The Ranch, knew it was no
joke SO thought I would grow some if
[ could.
I wish that boy who raised peanuts
and took a prize with them would
write and tell the rest of the boys
how he did it and what kind of pea
nuts he planted and where he got
them. ! may plant some next year il
he will. l don't think any boys read

motor, saying that if he could make
it run by his device he could operate
a street car by the same system. 1t
required 400 volts to start the motor
Thompsons experiment with the
motor was perfect success, for he
had the motor running at full speed
