ARE Welded TODAY
MISS JESSIE SHIRLEY BECOMES
BRIDE OF KENNETH
STOITZMAN.

The wedding took place at the
home of the bride at high noon today

of Mrs Ola l.. Shirley, 800 West
Sixth street, and Kenneth f. Stoltz-
man, son of Mrs. G. A. Stoltzman,
1006 Washington avenue. Both the

wide circle of friends in the city and

mony was performed under large

MANY HEAR BISHOP
"GREATER THIRST AND MORE
WORK FOREMOST REQUIRE
MENTS IN LIVES OF MEN"

AS an eloquent speaker and rapid
thinker, few ehautauqua lecturers
can equal Bishop William A. Quayle,
in the opinion of the hundreds who
Saturday night and yesterday heard
Bishop Quayle deliver two lectures
and one sermon here. The lectures
were given, one Saturday evening
and one yesterday afternoon in the
auditorium at the chautauqna
grounds, and the sermon was deliver
ed yesterday forenoon in the First
Methodist Episcopal church. As the
fact that the bishop would conduct
the service in the Methodist church
yesterday had not been made pub
lie. few save the regular congre-
cation were present. One of the
largest week night audiences which
has this year housed visitors TO the
chautauqua heard Saturday nights
lecture, while many were unable to
find seats when Bishop Quayle en-
tered upon his topic yesterday after
noon.
The bishop took for his text yes
terday forenoon the seventh chapter
and the thirty-seventh verse Of John,
IF any man thirsteth, let him come
unto me and drink.
The thought was that all people
should thank God for water and that
water is so plentiful. The bishop
said that if people reach a state
when they cannot thank the Lord for
water, then it is because they have
become bereft of their senses. He
told that the reason people do not
more frequently offer thanks for the
most needful things, such as water,
is because they are commonplace and
are taken as a matter of course.
And while water is a wonderful
thing, ii would be of little benefit to
us if ii were not for thirst" said the
bishop. Thirst is a most wonderful
thing, for without thirst, man would
die for the lack of the effects of
water"
Bishop Quayle gave thirst as one
of the most wonderful things in the
human soul. He said there is plenty
of God everywhere, but that it can
be obtained only where there is
thirst for God
IF there is a thirst for goodness,
there will be good" he said. The
greatest evidence of holiness is
thirsting for God. Only through a
thirst for learning may knowledge
be acquired"
THE Tragedy of Rip Van Winkle"
was the bishops subject Saturday
night. He explained that Rip Van
Wrinkle had had oceans too much
rest, and he declared that the ira
gedies of mems lives are that they
work too little. The Sunday after
noon subject was THE Factors that
Make for Destiny"
The bishop departed for Sioux
Falls yesterday afternoon.

HOTTEST 1916 DAY
CORN MAKES ALMOST RECORD
PROGRESS-HUN
SEEK SHADE.

With thermometers variously re-
cording from SO to a shade above 90
degrees above zero during most of
this afternoon. today was the fourth
excessively warm day TO arrive in
succession, and was the most torrid
day of the year Many hundreds in
Madison and vicinity took respite
from the heat yesterday at the lakes,
while those who did not muster the
ambition TO get far away from home
rested in the shade OF nearby trees or
sought comfort beneath covered
porches or in the coolest" part of
the house
Citizens generally stood the wealth
er well. No prostrations from heat
were reported. Farmers declare
that the pronounced rise i'm tempera-
ture during the last few days has
been just what was required, and
that several days more of the same
brand of weather would be wei
coined. Both corn and small grain
had commenced TO show the effects
of excessive moisture 1t was said
today that some fields of corn in this
section had grown six inches or more
during the last three days Much

Christmas, the day that brings
the flush Of beauty to the cheek
of maidens; the smile of vic
tory to the face Of young man
hood; the love-look to the tired
eyes Of motherhood, and the
look Of calm content to father
hood, as each and all receive
their tokens of good will that
pour in on the noiseless wings
of unforgotten love.
Christmas, the day hallowed
above all others for it's sacred
and enduring blessings to man
kind. The brightest and hap
piest day Of all. The day whose
dawn dispersed the darkness of
paganism and flooded the world
with the light Of Infinite Love.
When the flashes of the first
Christmas sunrise broke over
the battlements of Bethlehem,
nearly two thousand years ago,
ard it's shimmering rays fell full
upon the manger where the
Child Christ lay, it proclaimed
the dawn of an era of love and
light and salvation for the chill
dren of men.-Ira c.. Edwards.

MISTLETOE.
We two stood near
The chandelier

We two stood near
The chandelier
With mistletoe upon it.
A lovely girl,
My head awhirl,
Her wrap-1'll help her don it.
A button caught;
l surely ought
To help, when she'd begun it.
A pause, a hush,
A kiss, a blush,
And now, by Jove, I've done it!
-Lehigh Burr.
