Just fly years ago to-day
Since Pa" and Ma were wed
And down the rushing stream Of time
Their bark serenely sped.
Blue were the skies-nO clouds were seen;
Life seemed a merry thing
When PA" was hardly twenty-one,
And ma" was sweet sixteen.
But on the restless aow Of time,
No bark may hope % glide
In perfect peace and safety,
For the stream grows ever vide.
And meath IT, rocks aud hidden shoals.
And the lure Of under tow,
Prove dangerous things for many crait,
When the stormy winds do blow
/ Not alway then was life "a dream"
| The skies not always blue,
| But MA had Faith, and Pa had Pluck.
/ And so. they struggled tho,
| And when the gales did hereely blow

And skies the darkest frown,
Love took the helm and steered the bark,
Where many a craft went down.
So now they've dropped their anchor here
In the Port o Fifty Years,
Remembering only happier things
Forgetting griefs and tears-
RED are the skies with sunsets glow;
But Life still beauty spells.
And Health and Happiness ring out
In the golden wedding bells.
Then as we've gathered here to-day,
By generations three,
To drink a health, and "loast" the bride,
Around the family tree
We honor give % whom it's due,
And loyal homage pay,
And may they live 70 celebrate

Venture, Taking %
for Bride.

Bob" Fitzsmmons, former heavy
weight champion, is going to get mar
ried again. lie is fifty-three years old
and his bridc-to-bc is twenty-eight.
This marks his fourth bridal venture,
the last having been terminated on
January 20, when Julia May Clifford, an
actress, got a divorce from him on
grounds OF cruelty.
The former champion, who has been
living at his farm at West Dunellen,
\. J., went to Newark's City Hall yes
terday for a marriage license. The
woman with him gave her name as
Mrs. Temo Slemonn. She said she was
the divorced wife of Henry Slemonln,
Of Portland, Ore
As neither had the divorce decree
the application was refused. fItzslm-
mons then announced his intention OF
coming to New York for "A license. The
couple will probably come to New York
to-day.
The woman Fitzsimmons is to marry
is an actress and is known IN Chicago
as "the Countess The eX-champlon
was indicted on June 6, 1914, with
Temo Sloan, who said she was a Ger
man countess, and who, it was alleged,
had been living with the fighter on
tho Dunelen farm. Recently Fitzsim-
mons has appeared on the vaudeville
stage with a woman who was billed as
Countess Ieelin.'
The former tighter thinks this new
marriage will turn out more success

0BEYlNG LABOR LAW
P. S. G.. Orders Dual Subway
Contracts Changed.

To conform with the amended sec
tion of the state labor law referring
TO alien labor, the Public Service Com
mission directed its counsel yesterday
TO change all the existing contracts for
work on the dual subway system. or
course. all new contracts Will be drawn
in conformity with the amended law.
The section in question provides that
on all public work contractors shall
give preference TO citizens, but that
they may hire aliens when it is i'm
possible to get citizens to do the work.
Authorization was passed by the
commission for advertising for bids for
the construction of that section Of the
Broadway line in Seventh Avenue. be
tween Tifty-first and Fifty-ninth
Streets. Advertisements for bids on
this route were published before, but
withdrawn because of the uncertainty
over the status of the alien labor law.
