when Bill sold his three tenement
as a site for business block and on
by one Mary had to take down tn
pictures and knick-knacks and fold u

Journey from a furnished room to
mansion, there is never again HON
just like the first.
Lest we be accused of morbidness
let US turn a few more pages of tn
lies. What is this under a "tw

corner of this front page?
The village was pleasantly sur
prised last evening when the six
o'clock train up the valley
brought back to Paris two young
people very well known in the
community, who during a weeks
absence have joined their lives
and fortunes: Herbert R. Tru-
mann, son of our well-known
manufacturer Silas Truman, and
Miss Mabel Henderson, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Hen
derson of East Main Street, who
is being introduced about town
today as Mrs. Herbert Truman.
The couple had been entirely
successful in keeping their court
ship secret and last Friday night
they slipped away quietly down
to Brattleboro and were married.
They have since been spending a
weeks honeymoon in Boston and
Providence.
Mr.. Truman is in business
with his father in the manufac-
ture of the celebrated Short
Cramp Farm Wagon and Mrs.
Truman for the past four years
has been employed as compositor
in the Telegraph. office. 1t is
a queer coincidence that all I'M
Willingly the couple were mar
ried at about the same hour as
two other employees of the local
newspaper plant, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Purse. Cupid appears to
have acquired an extraordinary
liking for the office where the
Telegraph" is published.
For the present Mr.. and Mrs.
Truman have taken a suite at
the Whitney House. It is ru-
mored that the bridegroom is
negotiating for the purchase of
the Holland property on Maple
street which he will have rebuilt
and furnished for a home. The
best wishes of their many friends
go with them for long and
happily married life.

'Give 'em two months and waite

"Two?"

"No. That's why there's goin' t
be fireworks for Herb. He ain
married Mibb alone,-which would b
bad enough. He's went and splice
up with her family"
Mary had not given up her jo
following her marriage. She an
Jack needed her wages worse tina
ever. So she was in the back roo
