after license had been obtained from
the clerk of court, the same squire
performed the ceremony which united
him in his "shena madchin," and
the couple left for their home in the

when Mr.. Dutchman again appeared
before the Squire, and asked him to
give him the license again in order
that he might get married over. On
being told that had been properly
married, he replied: 20, I be's salts
fled, but mine wife she want to be
married by the priest" The Squire
told him that the license had been
filed with the clerk Of court, but he
guessed the priest could merry him
again without license, whereupon he
remarked: 30, bes satisfied" and de-
parted.

BULGARIAN ARMY BETTER
PREPARED THAN HERETOFORE

Sofia, June 1S.-The Bulgarian
army is now far better prepared for
war than 1t was for the Balkan war
of 1912. 1t comprises four divis-
ions of 120 men ready for action,
with another ten divisions of 3OO,-
900 men of first line reserves, who
could be mobilized in a few days. If
necessity should arise, this force
could be more than doubled.
Bulgaria's entry into the war as
the foe of Turkey would relieye
pressure on the allies to the south.
AdrianOple, which the Bulgarians
were forced to hand back to the
Turks after the last Balkan strug-
gle, has been denuded of its arms
for use in the Dardanelles cam
paign. This ought easily to fall to
the Bulgarians, who could then cross
down to Dodosto on the sea of Mar
mora. This Guild curt Constantinopls

have concentrated their forces for
the operations on the Gallipoli pe-
ninsula. At least, the Turks would
be reduced to communication by sea

pared with those of the other Bal.
