would conclude that I was a person
not to be trifed with.
When we got to Canton people were
fiocking to the big stone Presbyterian
church. 1t was what they called q
"deacon's meeting" I remember that
Mr.. Wright read from the Scriptures,
and having explained that there was
no minister in the village, read one
of Mr.. Edwards sermons, in the
course of which I went to sleep on
the arm of my aunt. She awoke me
when the service had ended, and
whispered:
"Come, we're goin' down to speak
to Mr.. Wright"
I remember Mr.. Wright kissed me
and said:
Hello! Here's my boy in a new
pair O. trousers ]"
'PUt yer hand in there" I said
proudly, as 1 took my own hand out
of one OF my pockets, and pointed
the way.
He did not accept the invitation, but
laughed heartily and gave me a little
hug.
When we went out of the church
there stood Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Dun
kelberg, and Sally and some other
children. 1t was a tragic moment for
me when Sally laughed and ran be-
hind her mother. Still worse was it
when a couple of boys ran away cry
ing, "Look at the breechesw ~
I looked down at my breeches and
wondered what was wrong with them.
They seemed very splendid to me and
yet l saw at once that they were not
popular. I went close to my Aunt
Deel and partly hid myself. in her
cloak. heard Mrs. Dunkelberg say:
"Of course you'll come to dinner
with us?"
For a second my hopes leaped high.
I was hungry and visions of jelly
cake and preserves rose before me. OF
course there were the trousers, but
perhaps Sally would get used to the
trousers and ask me to play with her.
"Thank ye, but we've got a good
ways to go and we fetched a bite
with us-ayes!" said Aunt Deel.
Eagerly awaited an invitation from
the great Mrs. Dunkelberg that should
be decisively urgent, but she only
said:
"I'm very sorry you can't stay"
My hopes fell like bricks and van
ished like bubbles.
The Dunlelbergs left US with pleas
ant words. They had asked me to
shake hands with Sally, but L had
clung to my aunt's cloak and firmly
refused to make any advances. Slow
~ and without a word we walked
across the park toward the tavern
sheds.
We had started away up the South
road When, to my surprise, Aunt Deel
mildly attacked the Dunkelbergs.
'"These here village folks like to
be waited on-ayes !-an' they're aw-
ful anxious you should come to see
'em when ye can't-ayes but when
ye git to the village they amt nigh
so anxious-no they ain't!"
In the middle of the great cedar
swamp near Little River Aunt Deel
got out the lunch basket and 1 sat
down on the buggy bottom between
their legs and leaning against the
dash. So disposed we ate our luncheon
Of fried cakes and bread and butter
and maple sugar and cheese. What
an efficient cure for good health were
the doughnuts and cheese and sugar,
especially if they we're mixed with
the idleness of a Sunday. I had a
headache also and soon fell asleep.
The sun was low when they awoke
me in our dooryard.
soon discovered that the Dunkel-
bergs had fallen from their high es-
tate in our home and that Silas
Wright, Jr., had taken their place in
the conversation Of Aunt Deel.

MARRIAGES MUST
WAIT ON SENATE

COBLENZ, July 26.-Reports OF
marriages between American soldiers
and German girls have been reaching
headquarters for several days but no
charges have been filed against the
men as it is believed that in most
cases these marriages have been due
to misunderstanding regarding the
anti-fraternization regulations as the
week before the treaty was signed,
several chaplains informed soldiers
that such marriages would be permis-
sible after Germany had accepted the
terms. In order to prevent further
misunderstanding special order has
beenissued calling to the attention Of
the officers and men that the non
determination regulations are in force
until the United States ratifies the
treaty.

WEDDING BELLS
ECHO IN SPICY
DIVORCE ACTION

Judge Cole, today, issued an order
restraining Fred B. Mackin from in
terfering or molesting in any way
his wife Evelyn, and from selling OF
otherwise disposing OF any of his
property, naming specifically an
Overland automobile.
Mrs. Mackin is the owner of the
Washington and Norway rooming
house in Ell Centre. She married
Mackin in Yuma on February "a, last
and according to the specifications in
her petition for divorce life since then
has been one "rough-house" after
another. His favorite amusement has
been to charge her with improper re-
lations with other men, long list of
these accusations appearing in the
complaint but varictions of this past
time are cited such as chasing her
with knife, locking her up and beat
ing her up. AS a result Mrs. Mackin
says her health has been ruined, she

operation, and is under the constant
care of a physician.
There was dramatic scene in the
court room when the hearing was
suspended in order that subpoena
might be prepared to serve on six
year old child adopted by Mrs. Mackin
prior to marriage, the defendant
wanting the babe to testify. Mrs.
Mackin overweight, did not under
stand what it was about and catching
the child up in her arms ran scream
ing out of the court room that he
could not have her child.
Later in the day, Probation Officer
Swanson took possession of the child
and instructed the City Marshal to
remove from Mrs. Mackin's care
younger child also hers by adoption,
this action being taken on information
of alleged unfitness to care for them
on the part of the mother.
