alone for their native land to fulfill

ANOTHER KIND OF JUNE
WEDDING.

Not all the June wedding announ.
cements are of the frilly, fluffy, brides
maidy kind of thing. Frequently one
reads in the papers of secret marriag.
es and Opponents, where the only de.
,orations are the dingy furnishings Of
justice OF the peace office, and the
only attendants the legal witnesses.
The newspapers scent a romance,
however, and set their crack sleuths
at work to scare up story and scare
head.
Probably the publicity given by the
newspapers to affairs of this kind is
largely due to the injudicious attitude
of the families. Many parents, II they
do not approve of a marriage, try to
keep 1t out of the papers. To news.
papers of the yellow type, this oper.
ates as powerful incentive to use
every effort to get story on the af-
fair.
II the family does not approve of
a marriage, the W Sc course for them
Is to keep their disapproval to them.
selves, and frankly give out the de-
tails of the ceremony, which are us.
ually simple and short enough. This
disarms the newspaper detectives.
When there Is no desire manifested
for sealment, the sleuths can't see
any chance for story. The report
is boiled down and put in an incon-
sp cuous place. The public reads and
forgets.
If the family refuses to give out the
facts however, the yellow newspapers
print story in which Imagination fill
all gaps. Home papers located more
closely to the people may or may
not keep 1t out. But even If they join
in the policy of suppression, this does
not silence gossip. Indeed, it directly
aggravates 1t, for the more feeling
people show over an affair, the more
the gossips talk.
Frank publication of facts about
any event stops all that. This Is true
not merely of weddings but OF many
other happenings, where people only
aggravate their own troubles by try
ing to suppress things that can't b'
concealed.

LIFE is CERTAINLY A FUNNY
PROPOSITION.

Man comes into this world without
his consent and leaves 1t against his

In his infancy he Is an angel; in h S
boyhood he Is a devil; In his man
hood he is everything from a lizard
up; in his duties he Is a damned fool;
II he is poor man, he is a poor
manager and has no sense; IL he is
rich he is dishonest but considered
smart; if he is in politics he Is a
CRATER and a crook; II he is out you
cant place him as he Is an undesirab-
lie citizen; If he goes to church he Is
q hypocrite; II he stays away from
church he is a sinner and damned; II
he donates to foreign missions he does
IL for show; IL he does not he is st n
gy and tightwad. When he first
comes into the world everyone wants
to kiss him-before he goes out they
all want to kick him; If he dies young
there was a great future before him;
