BRIDE TAKES WILD PLUNGE
Trousseau and Certificate in Hand,
She Jumps Into Saving Arms
of Groom.

With her trousseau in one hand
and her marriage certificate in the
other, Mrs. Mary Capella, a bride of
three days, jumped from the second
story window of 1908 Amin street
when fire threatened her life. Her
husband, Anthony Capella, who pre-
coded her in the dangerous leap from
the window, and babe her follow,
caught his bride when she jumped.
AS the result, he is now confined to
the home of a friend suffering from
painful bruises and probable serious
internal injuries. Six other persons
in the house, whose lives were endan-
gered, were rescued in a spectacular
manner by fremen.
The newly married couple were
awakened by the cry Of "Fire!" and
found their room full of smoke and
escape by the stairway cut off by the
flames. Unable to raise the window,
the bridegroom smashed sash and all
away with chair and then jumped
two stories to the pavement below.
He landed without being hurt, and
then braced himself to catch his
wife.-Philadelphia Record.

SCHOOL NOTES.
The Literary Assembly.

The program which is offered al
this time will be under the direct
supervision of the faculty; and a
variety of features will be prepared,
including recitations, reading, vocal
and instrumental music, short
plays and debates.
The hour designed for this liter
AIRY assembly is more inconvenient
than that of last year, being from
nine until ten in the morning; but
we would be very glad to have
visitors at any time. We hope to
make the programs good enough
to justify the effort required.
A high school orchestra has
been organized, with Superintend .
ent Davis as director. They meet
tor practice every Wednesday
evening at Mr.. Davis's residence.
The enthusiasm and interest
shown at the beginning promises
well for the success of the organi

FIRST SILVER WEDDING.
II Was Arranged by Hughes capet,
King of France, In o37.

King of France, In o37.
The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign of Hughes Capet,
King of France, in 9S7. Once as
Hugues was arranging his uncle's af-
fairs he found on one of the estates
a servant who had grown gray in the
service of his relative On the farm
with this old man was also a serving
woman, who was as old as he and
also unmarried, who had been the most
devoted and Woodworking of the won.
en- servants of the kings uncle. When
the king heard these praises of the two
ne ordered them to be brought before
him and said to the woman:
Your service is great, greater than
this mans, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than a
man, and therefore l will give you
reward. AT your age l know of none
better than a dowry and husband.
Jhe dowry is here-this farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man who has worked with Won FIVE
and twenty years is willing to marry
you then the husband is ready"
Your majesty" suffered the old
peasant confusedly, "how is 1t posi-
bic that we should marry, having al
ready silver hairs?"
Then 1t shall be a silver wedding"
answered the king, land here | give
you a wedding ring" drawing a cost
~ ring from his finger and placing the
hands of the thankful old people to-
gether.
This soon became known all over
france and raised such enthusiasm
that 1t became fashion after twenty
hYe years of married life to celebrate
q silver wedding.

Letters Of the People
PREACHERS! WHAT'S THE
TROUBIE2

nv Dill
Editor News-Times.
An agitation has been going about
among the preachers ct our city and
our state for some time past in re-
gard 10 the teaching OF the bible in
our public schools. In fact they have
been bowling To a certain extent about
the affair.
Several months ago the state legis-
lature passed a law whereby the
churches are given an opportunity TO
have the cooperation of the state in
teaching the bible. l. g. pupils who
study the bible through the churches
are TO receive credit by the schools
for the work done.
Ii seems that the preachers of our
city are, in some way, delaying the
work that is theirs TO do. For l
learned that about four months ago
committee was appointed among
the ministers 10 attend TO the work,
and thus far nothing has been accom-
plished.
1t is meet that they should get busy
as our schools are now in session.
Why delay the work longer? If ii is
an opportunity for the betterment of
our boys and girls, and / believe that
il is. why not act WithOu, further de-
lay? The ones TO whom we often look
to advance the cause of right are often
very slow in promoting the task as
signed them. Perhaps this is the case
with the committee of preachers.
We hope and really expect TO hear
soon that some definite action has
been taken by the committee of
preachers.
