Rheims Cathedral
Is Held Possible

London, Sept. 23.-The Paris
correspondent of the Daily Mail
has just returned from second
; visit to Rheims, where he made
a closer examination of the
; cathedral the danger from fall
ing beams and stone work no
) longer preventing entry. In his
report of this examination he
) says:
) Thirteen out of the 100 Ger
man wounded in the cathedral
periohed in the flames and their
blackened corpses are still ~
ing among the cinders. Many
beautiful statutes in the west
front of the cathedral are head
less. The belfry collapsed and
the bells were melted In the
fire. 1t is, however chiefly the
Nave which suffered and the
restoration of most of the dam
age seems possible.
"The bombardment of Rheims
practically ceased on Sunday
afternoon though occasional
shells fell in French trenches
outside throughout Monday"

by the sound of angry voices from the
little den across the hall.
Fred, l believe the boys are quar-
reling," exclaimed Mrs. Martin, lay
ing down her magazine and hastily
rising from her chair.
We'll, dear, what if they are?" said
Martin. 1T isn't our affair. Sit down
Lucy and let them quarrel in peace"
Quarrel in peace! How ridiculous
! think we ought to stop them"
Il don't. If they have a little dispute
they should be allowed to settle 1t
without our interference. We must
learn to give them a little indepen-
dence."
Mrs. Martin resumed her reading.

Now, Lucy, sit down." said her
husband, "and let the kids fight their
own battles. If there isn't a cessa-
ton of hostilities in ten minutes I'll
agree to your going in and calling a
halt, although l think it would be bet
ter to let them come to a finish now
and be done with it." Martin rose
and, walking casually toward the door
that led into the hall, quietly opened
it. Il think there's no harm, how
ever, in our knowing what the row is.
There, listen to our eldest"
Yes, suppose you think you'll be
the whole thing if you queer me"
Jack was saying. But l won't stand
for 1t. say you shan't go there. Do
you get me?"
Il should worry. l don't think it's
any of your business where go. I've
got as good a right to call on girls as
you have, Jack Martin" returned
Fred, Jr., Justify. You're not exactly

Then you promise?"

HoDGES-HERR.

A very pretty home wedding
was that SOlemnized Wednesday
afternoon of this week at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Herr, eight miles northeast Of El-
linwood, when their youngest
daughter, Carrie, was united in
the holy bonds of wedlOck to Mr..
Roscoe Hodges, of Guyman, Okla.
Only the members of the family
and a few intimate friends wit
messed the ceremony. Rev. c. H.
Woodward, of the NJ. E. church,
of this city, officiated. The ring
ceremony was used, but was
somewhat different from the Or
dinary, as both parties are deaf
muteS, and in their language read
the ceremony with the officiating
minister, and the ceremony was
impressive and beautiful.
Both bride and groom are grad
uateS of the school for deaf muteS
and are highly educated in every
way. Mrs. Hodges enjoys a wide
acquaintance throughout the east
part of the county and is one of
the popular young women of that
section. Mr.. Hodges is also a
graduate from the deaf and dumb
school of Missouri and is a young
man who is most highly regarded
by all who know him. The young
couple will reside in Guymon,
Okla, where Mr.. Hodges has pre-
pared nice little home for his
bride.
Following the ceremony the
wedding party was served with a
most delicious dinner to which
all did full justice and a most
pleasant afternoon was enjoyed
by all.
The guests were Rev. and Mrs.
C. H. Woodward, Mr.. and Mrs. C.
F. Younkin and sons, Mrs. Rev.
Daley, of Emporia, and a cousin
of the groom from Guymon. With
the many other friends, the Dem
Ocrat joins in wishing for this eS-
timable couple a long and happy
married life.
