The wedding feast commenced at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon and lasted

fashioned German wedding celebration
and one that surpassed anything OF
that character held in Cape County fOr
years.
At the Kelpe home a five-acre field
had been set aside for the reception of
the guests horses and buggies. At
PENDANTS had been employed to look
after the animals and see that they
were properly fed and cared for. An
other section of the farm had been
reserved for the reception of the auto
mobiles, and early Yesterday afternoon
each of these places had been fully
occupied.
About 500 invitations to the wedding
feast had been issued by the parents
Of the bride. and it is estimated that
far more than 1000 guests passed
through the gates of the kelpe home
to hid the bridal couple Godspeed.
At Jackson yesterday, the officials
in the courthouse closed their offices
early in order to drive to the Kelpe
home to attend the wedding festivi-
ties. A brass band, composed of mu-
sicians from Tilsit and Jackson COM
bined, motored to the scene of the
celebration to furnish music for the
occasion.

be married for a long time and THEN
many friends long ago were aware of
the approaching nuptiais. Invitations
mad been sent to every part of the
county by the brides parents.

William Kruger
Jumps off House
ToGet His Meal
Herman Pape Removes Lad
der, Leaving Carpenter
Marooned on Roof, and He
Dives off to Avoid Missing
Dinner.


William Kruger, a carpenter, en-
ployed by Herman Pape, the contrac-
tor. yesterday made nigh dive from
the second-story window of a new
house being erected in the West End
! by Mr.. Pape. Kruger struck the
ground with such force that he mag
ined for a time he had driven his
lower eXtremities into his duodenum,
whatever that is.
The leap was not due to accident or
choice. 1t was simply an obstacle
that was separating Mr.. Kruger from
his MONDAY meal. 1t happened this
way:
Mr.. Pape is a good contractor, but
he is too forgetful to make a first
class boss. He was at work with Mr..
Kruger in the West End yesterday
morning, but while Kruger was tack
ing the roof upon new two-stOry
house, Mr.. Pape had occasion to mount
another building a short distance
away.
I'm going to take this ladder with
me for few minutes" said Mr. Pape
to Kruger, and the latter gave his
consent after getting Mr.. Pape to
promise that he would not forget to
return it. Don't worry, Bill, I'll be
right back" remarked the contractor
as he stroIled away.
After Mr.. Pape had finished his in
spection trip and was preparing to
tote the ladder back to Kruger, a
friend, who was passing, paused to
discuss the unusual amount of spring
building now under way.
The topic is rather soft spot with
Mr.. Pape and he Just naturally waded
into It. When the question had been
properly ventilated, Mr.. Pape had for
gotten that Bill Kruger was still on
the roof of that new house.
well. it's about time we were
beating il home for dinner" remarked
the friend to Mr. Pape, and the con-
tractor agreed with him.
You know, | feel as if l had for
gotten something" said Pape as they
started away.
well, as you are coming back after
you finish eating, it will be time
enough to do your thinking then"
the contractors friend advised.
They moseyed on home, but back at
that new house Bill Kruger sat on
the caves waiting for the boss to
return with the ladder. He heard the
y o'clock whistle and his stomach
ratified for some hot biscuits and fried
chicken, which Mrs. Kruger had
promised to have for him.
When the 1890 whistle blew, Krue-
ger knew that Pape's memory had
skidded again.
well, if | get away from this roof,
I'll do it like a sparrow gets out Of
tree" remarked Kruger to himself
He walked from one end of the roof
to another and then back again as he
meditated I'm likely to cave in my
cupola if | jump, but if | sit here,
won't eat" he debated with himself.
Finally, he lust picked out plot of
tall grass and threw himself at it. He
struck the ground with a sickening
thud, but without receiving a pune
ture. He arose. shook himself. and
then started for home.
When he returned to work, Mr.. Pape
was there wondering how Kruger got
off the roof "Well, sir, Bill, | forgot
to bring that ladder back" Pape said
to Kruger.
81 had noticed that" replied the
human bird as he pointed to the dent
he had made in the ground when he
left the roof like a rooster quits the
