the church the Coronation March"
by Meyerbeer was played. The ush-
ers came first, then the four brides
maids, followed by the bride and her
father, and at the altar met the
bridegroom and his attendant. At
the conclusion of the ceremony, with
the bride facing the flag and every
body standing at attention, The
Star Spangled Banner" was played.
AS the bridal party was leaving the
church the strains of "The Trium-
phal March" from "Aida" by Verdi
were heard.
The bride was charming in a gown
of silver tissue with net covered with
point lace which was worn by her
mother on her wedding day 25 years
ago, and a court train of point lace
lined with silver tissue which was
her mothers wedding veil. Her veil
of tulle was caught up with orange
blossoms which ornamented her
mothers wedding veil. She wore a
string of pearls and carried bou-
quet of lilies of the valley and or
chids. The bridesmaids were at
tired in mauve organdie and wore
Leghorn hats covered with organdie
and small lilac flowers and black vel
vet ends, and carried bouquets of
bright flowers. The brides mother
wore a gown of ecru lace over pale
pink satin with pompadour ribbon
sash. Her hat was of brown tulle
with brown feathers.
The church decorations were beau
tiful. The rear of the altar was a
mass of palms, ferns were banked
about the pulpit, to the right of the
altar appeared the American flag
and at the left the American Union
Jack, all forming an attractive set
ting. The bridal pathway was
dotted with fragrant roses, vases Of
pink and white roses alternating al
the end of each pew. The sides of
the balcony and the space in front
of the organ was tastefully decor
ated with mountain laurel Vases OF
pink and white roses also appeared
at either side of the altar. At the
entrance to the church were two
laurel arches. The decorations were

Once, he said, he had put out a dead

A grizzly (called a silvertip by the
hunters) approached, shouldered in be-
tween the lions and began to feed also.
AS one fat grizzly can take up consld-
cradle room the lions resented this
third party at the feast and drew on
snarling. Then one of them came back
and evidently clawed the intruder or

Weioh the Babies.

If you have babies to weigh prepare
to weigh them now. This is the ba-
bies' year. 1t began April 9, the first
anniversary of our entrance into the
war The first step is to weigh all the
children under five years of age. The
idea is to begin with the children, to
build up the nation of tomorrow.
Many Of the physical defects which
caused the rejection of applicants for
enlistment in the army and navy are
believed to have had their beginning
in infancy and the committee believes
n higher standard of physical efficlen'
cy in the rising generation will result
from these tests. Height, weight and
reach are considered rough index of
child's health.

FIGURES LONG IN HISTORY
Stirling Castle InseparabIy Connected
With All That the Scottish Heart
Holds Dear.

Recently the English government
sent some German prisoners of war to
Stirling castle. The ancient fortress
is again a prison; again the "eye of
the north" keeps watch over the ma
tons safety. Stirling is only a few
hours ride from Glasgow, but IL ia
a journey from the nineteenth century
to the middle ages. The castle. on
the right bank of the Forth, is built on
the highest tip Of a promontory, close
to the edge of the crag. Its position
is almost impregnable.
On the north and south a rolling
plain stretches away to the foot of the
Ochil hills. below, the Forth winds sill
yer across the plain. On the east and
west the water pro tects the fortress.
The key to the highlands, the bulwark
of the north, Stirling was for centu-
ries Scotland's main defense against
the invading English.
Much history has been made on the
plain at the castles foot. The Ger
man prisoners from the ramparts can
view the scene of seven important bat
ties. On the northwest on the top of
a high hill stands statue to william
Wallace. At the foot of the hill was
fought the battle of Stirling. Just In
side the curve Of the Forth is the field
of Cambuskenneth, where in S43 the
Scots defeated the Picts. Falkirk,
where Wallace was defeated, lies to
the south. Years later on this same
field Prince Charlie won one of his
most important battles. Bannockburn,
the holy ground of Scotland, lies to
the south. From the castle you can
see the center of the field, the Bore
stone, marked by a tall white flagpole.
Mary of Scots was crowned In the
castle hall. Her son, afterwards James
the Sixth, passed his baby days here.
The iron bars at the windows of some
of the rooms were placed there to pro-
tect the tiny prince from kidnap"rs.
Years afterwards he was crowned M
king in the same walls. John Knox
preached the coronation sermon.

AUSTRIAN KILLED IN
EXPLOSION AT VINDEX
Hundred Miners Had Just Quit
Work When Accident Occurred

One man was killed and another
slightly injured in an explosion Monday
evening at the Chaffee Coal Company
mine IN Vindex, Garrett county. The
dead man was an Austrian named
Panuka, and his death was instan-
taneous.
Officials are in doubt as to the cause
Of the explosion which was confined to
the room in which Panuka and another
man worked. About one hundred
miners are employed in the Chaffee
mine and all had quit work for the day
but those two when the accident &C.
Cured. Panuka's fellow worker had
left the room to do something in an
other part of the mine, and was out of
the room only few moments when the
explosion took place. He was slightly
injured by flying bits of coal. Panuka
was found dead, but little damage was
done to the mine. 1t is thought that a
discharge put off by the Austrian him
self resulted in his death.
The Chatfee Company operates mines
at Chaffee, W. Va, and Vindex, Md.
The latter place is about mile and a
half off the main line of the Western
