The WEDDING
BY A. NJ. II.

Did you hear the wedding bells.
Ringing clear and bright;
For we had a wedding
1t was on Thursday night.
There were married people there.
Had long been man and wife;
Giving them some good advice.
Along the road Of life.
There was Lillian and Miss Bertha,
Eva and Charles there. too;
Wishing them much happiness.
And each other to be true.
Yes. everyone there was happy,
without a shade OF gloom;
All the men did kiss the bride,
And all the girls the groom.
And Edith the merry one.
Always so jolly and spry;
Was waiting very patiently
For the cake to be passed by.
Mary, the delicate little girl,
But always full OF fun;
Was the light OF the company,
Whenever play begun.
Neliie was holding hands,
Close by a glass door;
Just never mind the accident,
II has happened oft before.
Caroline. she did not go,
For reasons more than one
Now She wishes she had been there
To see what Eddie done.
Eddie is our bashful boy,
And very quietsome;
But o he did kiss Grace good night,
And then took Milly home.
Then Henrietta gave a sigh,
And her heart went pitty-pat;
For she could not see why Eddie
should break her heart like that.
Hope there will be another
wedding just the same;

One girl puts the problem thus:

not good enough for me His char
acter is finer than that of my own
brother, but the latter is we'll edu-
Gated while the man 1 love is not
viii the criticisms of my family
and big difference in our social
plans spoil my marriage ?"
Not necessarily; not if love is re-
gardcd as a rainbow arch uniting
two lives In illustration, consider
this story, a true one, although it
reads like a scenario:
"A girl, just graduated from
fashionable school. was sent west
for a summer. She belonged to an
old and a rich family, but neither
her aristocracy nor her training
for the social world kept her from
falling in love with regular cow
boy.
THE man had less than a gram
mar school education. no manners
to speak Of and no art in tying a
cravat
He fell in love with the girl but
was silent because hopeless BY the
telegraphy known to true lovers,
each understood the other Never
theless he let her go back east that
fall without a word.
"She stayed with her parents a
year, mingled with the men of her
own social plane, and then, when
lsprng came around again, she
packed her trunks and wired her
cowboy to meet her at a certain sta
ton.
That was a daring decision for a
girl who had been educated to re-
spect the details Of the social code!
The rachman required no lib
eral education to get the import OF
her telegram He procured the mar
riage license and spent the day OF
the appoint ment alone in the wilder
ness The boys thought he was
trying to get up courage to meet
the girl but he was a poet at heart,
and perhaps he was only consecrat-
ing himself to her and to love
For ten years they have thought
themselves the happiest two in the
world Her relatives spend a month
of each year on the ranch but the
cowboy husband never has adopted
their ways nor competed with them
on their own plane
He is himself He and she share
the same cross-country gallops, po-
llitical opinions, books and music
And some Of the poems which used
to whirl in his head have lately
been printed"
The tastes which a husband ano
wife have in common usually outlas
the more romantic qualities OF theh
b mutual attraction rhetse tastes al

AS a name Of occupation Skinner
indicates to most OF us nowadays,
enc who removes skins of animals.
However in the days when first
names were first being adopted
skinner had the meaning OF tanner,
being applied to anyone who dealt
in skins in any way.
Presumably Skinner was used to
indicate a tanner more in Scotland
than in England. At any rate the
surname skinner Is more often
found in Scotland.
An interesting thing about this
name Is that the founder OF one Of
the largest skinner families here
was not a skinner at all. He was
really a member OF the McGregor
family and belonged to the McGre-
gor tribe OF, Scotland. This was Will
liam skinner. a native OF Scotland.
who was educated in one Of the big
English Universities. probably OK
ford. He was loyal supporter OF
the Stuart cause in Great Britain
and after the battle OF Preston Pans
| in 1715 in which he was wounded
was severely prosecuted for the part
he had played.
A friend Of his named Skinner In
Scotland not only befriended and
protected him but permitted him &c
take his name. II was as William
skinner that he went to Holland
from England and then by way o.
Barbados and Antigua TO Philadel
