Priest Very III, But
Ties the KnOt
A NOVEL CEREMONY
FATHER Diss, PRoPPED UP IN
BED, AccEDEs TO REQUEST
OF TWO WHO WANT TO
DC MADE ONE

Last evening as the gentle winds
were signing their sweet goodnight to
most folks and as the nurse was pre-
pairing her patient for as restful re-
pose as could be expected by a man
who has lain for week wracked by
la grippe and tonsilitis, Master Cupid
stalked abroad and conducted four
happy people to the residence of
Father Diss. The nurse answered the
bell and was astonished that the party
had not called to inquire about the
health of the pastor but to seek his
assistance and help to culminate their
happy romance by joining them in
matrimony
The Illustrated young lady left the
expectant bride with her supporting
bridesmaid. the brave yeHng husband
to be and the best man in the parlor
down stairs while she consulted the
sick father in his bed as to whether
he was able to perform the ceremony
which the parties below said was alb
solutely necessary then for they were
scheduled to leave Tonopah early this
morning. The very novelty of the
situation and the most unconventional
scene of the marriage-in a sick
chamber-at first for a moment dis
concerted the priest and his fever
rose two degrees but with a quiet OBJ
servation to the nurse about the great
ness of the country he sent word tt
the waiting nuptial party that if they
would accept his ministration from his
bed of pain he would joyfully marry
them. AS quickly as expectant lovers
could mount the stairs, followed b!
their witnesses, the bridal party cir
cled the bed and Father Diss, prop
ped up with soft pillows, his neck en-
circled by the stole and holding IL
his trembling hand the ritual, HI
pronounced the words which joined
these two happy young people in mat
rimony until death do them part. MI
Anthony N. Kosta and Josephine L
Cooper were thus joined and thei
happiness was witnessed by Alice F
r Thompson and ]. L. Wentworth
While the congratulations of tn
+ priest and the nurse were still ringin
in their ears, the newlyweds and thei
+. friends hastily bade adieu to Fathe

of Moosehearts allows for considerable expansion. The engineering and con- structior problems are similar to those of city of 5000 or 10000 population, with this distinction-that Mooseteart is laid out on an informal plan instead of along straight lines.
 Throughout all the work of the en- gineering department great dea; of thought has been given to the utiiiza- ton of the students with a view of using the older boys in large portion of the construction work. By combin- ing study with actual practical labor, the students will leave Mooseheart much better equipped to fight their own battles in the world.
 This department is keeping accurate records Of the cost of the differ ent kinds of labor in the various buildings The records will be thrown open to ths students of Mooseheart, so that when they graduate they will not cnly know how to build buildings but will also know what the work will cost.
 It is the hope and ideal of this de- partment that Mooseheart graduates will be looked up to throughout the country as men who know how to dc things right and how to do them eco- nomically.

UNITED WORKMEN.

Thames lodge. No. 14. of Groton, is making preparations for an entertain ment in the near future. The affairs will be in charge of Mrs. Penfield, who has already conducted several rehearsals and from all appearances it should turn out a success. The rest of the committee consisting of Birt O. Fowler, Albert O. Davison, Henry Klippell, Henry D. Lovett and Alfred F. Hodgson are taking active part in order to make the event a great suc- cess.
 An interesting meeting was held re- gently by Stonington lodge, No. 50, of Stonington. A report of the pro- ceedings of the recent special grand lodge meeting for considering the talk ing over of the grand lodge of New York was read by Charles H. Cush- man, the representative from this lodge. Another important event of the evening was the initiation of a class of candidates. The work of the lodge in this line is to highly praised as it shows the active interest taken in the lodge by all the members.
