DID WITHOUT FRILLS'
Marriage a Simple Affair in the
Early Days.
Little Chance for Counting and Abso-
lutely No Need for the Formally
Customary In the Countries
Of Europe.

On the frontier, courtship and mar
riage are not the matters of conven-
ton or even of sentiment that they are
in established communities. For
example:
My grandfather came to this coun'
try in 1881, writes a subscriber, by
sailing vessel to New Orleans. Thence
he went up the Mississippi river to
st. Louis, and there he bought horse.
saddle and other fixin's.
He settled on the north bank of the
Missouri river about sixty miles
from st. Louis. He and cousin of
his built log cabin and began to
clear the land They took turns doing
the outside work and the cooking.
One day, during the cousins turn at
cooking, he upset the pot into the fire,
and when my grandfather came in the
discouraged cook said to him: See
here, julius. this sort of thing won't
do any more; we must have house
keeper. One of us must get married.
"Well, why don't you marry, thenY
said grandfather.
mo, you are the older; you must
marry first"
That's easy said. You know that
the only family where there are girls
old enough to marry lives 40 miles
from here, and don't know whether
any of them will have me. We are
strangers and from a foreign coun-
try, you know"
"Well, you can try, can't your"
So the following Sunday grand
father rode 40 miles over to Squire Nc
Clennys. The squire greeted him
cordially, for callers were always well
come in those days.
After talking about the weather, the
crops, the hunting, and so forth, grand
father, with some embarrassment, in
troduced the subject of a housekeeper
and asked the squire if he had any OBJ
lection to his marrying one of his
daughters.
None at ALL" said the squire Have

"Oh, no. only wanted your permits

have to do in the old country. And
besides, l can't wait two or three
years before | marry, as they do ovel

"Oh," said the squire, "if the gals
willin' I'll marry you right now" Ant
calling to his wife, he said: Mary

Elinor was the oldest of his twelve
children and, although not yet six

When she entered he said: "Elinor

Are you willin'?"
"Oh, pa, that's rather sudden"
We'll, well, you can talk to ms
about IL, and slep over it. Let m'

The next mornin' she said Eyes,
and the wedding was set for two weeks
later.
Everyone within a radius OF forty
miles and more was there.
The day after the wedding grand
father rode up to the horse block, his
young wife got up behind him, and
thus they went home.-Youths Com
