An Error That RuffIsd a Bride.

MT. Editor: A bride was very much astonished when she read the report of her wedding in the newspaper the next day after the event occurred. In fact she would have openly shown positive indications of displeasure had she not known that newly welded brides are expected to deport themselves charm inely as well as to look angelic.
 But how do you imagine the dispo- sition of the bride was ruff1ed?
 The work of the reporter at first glance seemed to be all right, being such articles. It couldn't have stated anything about the bride that would have fiattered a bride more; for 1t said she was exceedingly handsome and bewitehingly gowned. and carried lilies, which, of course. clearly proved that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like her.
 And the report spoke of her pres ents, among which were two rings that were supposed to sparkle like the ice gems of Niagara Falls, to which the bride and groom were going to pass their honeymoon.
 The bride had had ample opportuni ty- to dream about the sweets of such a honeymoon trip; and had. undoubt- edly, seen in imagination an ice beau there making love to a (n)ice mermaid, and, turning her eyes above when ev- erything seemed heavenly, the bride had doubtless seen too, that fickle dandy and beau of promise, Mist-o or Rainbow, as a. rival of the ice beau, endeavoring to win the mermaid by showing her (knowing her passion for colors) the exquisite colors she could have In her trousseau, if she decided to become the center of the domestic circle that he apparently proposed to make by extending his beautiful arc
 With all this prospective happiness. what, do you ask, could be wrong in the nuptial plans? It was a typograph- ical error. MT. Editor, which made the best efforts of the reporter a failure, for the report of the wedding said "Herrings, the gifts of the groom and his mother, were fine"
 Now as there was no wedding breakfast, what was herringS in the report for2 Herrings wouldn't be any evidence of superiority for you know some well informed spfnsters say There are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught"
 Who committed the error and what was it?
 It couldn't have been committed by the printers devil. and he wasn't cast out of the newspaper office, as he was known to be = bIame1esS fellow and "a seeker after truth
 The proofreader might have been partly to blame, but it should be re- membered he is only a reader.
 The printer might have been respon- sible for the error by making printers pi. But the presumption is strongest that the reporter was at fault It would be hard to find his copy: but. if it could be discovered. like some of the old Greek manuscripts, and could be deciphered doubtless herrings would be found in it for "her rings" and the hungry multitude who like little fun could be fed miraculously.

a1t reallx is perfeetly kimple.r sai,

"It really is perfectly simple, said .4he first man.
 s"Oh, know it is.'' agreed the young man who was getting too fat. At least fifty mine other persons have told me the same thing. It is odd how easy 1t seems to a fellow like you who is built like a telegraph pole and who can play 8 zither tune on his ribs with his own backbone. Oh, my, yes-it is distractingly simple!"
 Your state of mind is crude" com mented the thin man. Here are your ficingly endeavoring to assist you to grow Adonislike and slim again and cut them all out and yet you show your teeth at them! Shame on you!"
 I'm not so fat" declared the man who was getting too fat. You'd scarcely notice it-unless I stood side ways. I don't see what you're raising such a row about Why, should every one suddenly be possessed of a notion that I'm pining for recipes for getting thin?
 T have been told at least eleven different methods up to date by you fellows and few other kind friends and most of them are as pleasant as being skinned alive or bound hand and foot in a fashionable delicatessen shop and there subjected to a process of be- ing slowly starved to death!
 You're jealous because all of you are so sharp boned and skinny while Pm pulmp and prosperous 1ooking!" :
 'He is still deluding himself" mur- mured the first man, his sympathy showing in his voice. Poor old chap!"
 Yes, isn't it pity?" agreed the second man.
 The too fat young man turned shade redder. Enjoy yourselves!" he parked. I'm good natured! And I guess I'll still pass in a crowd"
 If there's room," commented the first man. politely Always remem- bering if there's room to let you by. It really is nothing but indolence on your part when it's so easy to get thin. All you have to do"
 I've got eleven kinds of things to do now,' said the too fat young man, wearily. They put a doctor on me at the summer resort a few months ago. He told me that I was booked for an early grave and that keeping on at my present rate, I would weigh by the time I was 40, conservatively esti- mated, 900 pounds. I believe the plan was for me to reside in a cave at that time, for the reason that no ordinary house would be large enough to sur round me.
 All had to do in order to escape this awful fate was go on that doctors dieting system for year. For six

Their course as well as that in behalf of amalgama- tion is but sound and logical, The many who are constantly going back to the old party without waking for any concerted action are doing so in realization of the benefit which the new party is to the democrats without advancing their own principles. and the better opportunity which is offered for progressive action within the party which has done so much for the coun-

Point Not Lost by corroboration

Point Not Lost by Corrohoratlon, MT. Editor: Only a Reader in his letter of the 18th inst. needs to be cor rected in regard to the position of Seeker After Truth. Seeker did not admit in his letter of the 24th that the statement of Reader destroyed the authenticity of the passage in Mark Seeker simply repeated in substance the statement of Reader that this passage was not found in the oldest two Greek manuscripts, and, there fore, doubt was thrown upon it. (That is, doubt by Reader). To Seekers mind this statement of Reader does net viti- ate that passage; on the contrary, oth- CT evidence shows that the passage Is authentic, and accepted as such by the best authorities.
 I do not think that Reader made his point as he indicates, and surely my point was not lost. because of the passages corroborating the statement in Mark.
 Reader says that Seeker 'now urges also differences from other Gospels as proof of his conclusions" Seeker did not offer differences. but gave the statements themselves. which are very plain and clear. and there is no neces- sity for inferences being made from them in coming to our conclusions as to the Truth.
 , In reply, to Readers statement Now, if we understand him, Seeker takes the ground that the gift of mira working was bestowed on the early church to be and continue as proof of it's belief in Christ" Reader has entire ly misunderstood the position of Seek CT concerning miracles. The subject of miracles has not heretofore been

DRASTIC ACTION IS IMMINENT
By United States Government
Wilson Is Trying To
End ReyOltS.
MATTER IL GETTING SERIOUS

Washington, July 25.---Drastic
action by the United States Govern
ment in Haiti and Santo Domingo is
imminent, but no steps of force will
be taken until every effort is made
to settle by peaceful means the rev.
olutions in the two countries.
President Wilson explained to in
quirers the position of the Ameri-
can Government toward the two re-
publics as one of much anxiety. He
said marines had been concentrated
in the vicinity of the island so as to
be ready for any emergency that
might arise with respect TO the lives
and property of Americans and for
eigners generally, and admitted that
the representatives of the United
States had used strong language in
urging the rebellious elements to
stop fighting.
The President indicated that the
situation had progressed to Sc
rious point. but that no fixed policy
of intervention had as yet been de-
termined upon, and future steps
would depend on the developments
from day to day.
- He spoke of the difficulties which
representatives OF the American
Government had experienced in
reaching the leaders of the various
factions, and intimated that no an
swer which could be considered final
had been received as yet from the
military chiefs.
Captain Eberle, of the cruiser
Washington, in dispatch to the
Navy Department reported that the
lighthouse at Puerta Plata had been
damaged by rifle firing between the
revolutionary factions.
With five full regiments of ma
rines now ahoat on eXpeditionary
work. in addition to the many men
of the same service scattered
throughout the Philippines and
Guam and elsewhere, the marine
corps is having difficulty in meeting
the demands made upon il for a full
nedged army to carry out the poll
cies of the Administration in regard
TO Haiti and Santo Domingo.

SHOT HIS S0N-|N-lAW
DEAD ON THE INSTANT
When lie Was Informed Of
Daughters Marriage =
Youthful Sweethearts.

Haverstraw, n. Y, July 90
Eugene Newman, 20 years old,
walked into the Office of Town Clerk
William v. Cleary to-day and said:
"Mr. Cleary, I've come to tell you
that l have married your daughter
Anna, and that she is waiting in
New York until can telephone your
forgiveness"
Cleary pulled revolver from a
drawer and shot his son-in-law
dead. Three bullets entered the
youths body. Then he gave him
self up to the police, who telephon-
ed to New York and found that Mrs.
Cleary had already forgiven the
clipping daughter and was with her,
awaiting the fathers assent.
Young Newman and Anna Cleary
had been sweethearts since they
were school children. Cleary had
always opposed Newman's suit be-
cause of religious differences.
The young victim was son of
Fred NJ. Newman, one of the princi-
pal owners of the Rockland County
Messenger. and the two families
have always been. intimate. Anna
Cleary and Eugene grew up togeth-
er. and, far as is known, there was
no objection on the part of either
family to their marriage when they
were older and the young man had
gotten n start in life.
Young Newman spent the early
part of last week looking for a job,
so that he could eliminate every
thing except his youth when he ad-
vanced his reasons why he and Anna
should put off their marriage no
longer Though unsuccessful in
landing the job, he was successful
in obtaining his sweetheart's con-
sent to an immediate marriage. They
went to Hoboken where a minister
married them.
