BRIDGEToN, MI, Aug. 9.
-Grieving because admission
to the Old Soldiers Home in
Vinelandmade necessary their
separation, Elizabeth s. Wilson,
eighty years old, widow Of two
civil war veterans, yesterday
was married to William Smith,
eighty-six, a third veteran. Fol-
lowing the death of Mrs. Will
sons second husband some years
ago, she became housekeeper for
Smith. a chum of the late Gas
per Wilson.
Advancing age, and financial
stress made necessary the appli-
cation for admission to the
home by the one as a soldiers
widow, and the other as a vet
eran. However, each was sent
to a different building, and the
two old folks found the separa-
tion unbearable. Telling his
troubles to another old veteran,
Smith was informed that if
they should get married they
would be permitted to live to-
gether at the same institution.
The idea was seized upon and

got into trouble with the police and paid
hnes. His chief difficulty, however, has
been with the "silent policeman" con-
crete post standing at the intersection of
Berwick's main streets, with printed in
structions as to pace and direction of
traffic glaring from it in big red letters.
Carter is always willing to talk it over
with the animate cops. But he seems to
resent the stupidity of the concrete cop.
He can't argue with him. He has taken
delight in running past it to the left, in
violation of traffic regulations. Each
time he has paid his fine cheerfully, even
meekly.
Recently, however, Carter has been
getting more cautious. He got a raise
from $50 to $50 month not long ago,
just after being shifted to the laboratory,
where he won high praise from Charlie
Battista for his industry and perseverance.
In another six months his two-year ap-
premiership will be ended, and it is likely
that he will become one of the junior
executives of the big plant.
In preparation for that he has been
gathering dignity. For more than six
months he has been a model of law obser-
vance. Within the last few months the
police of Berwick let it be known that
they were "after" Carter for violations.
But he was able to prove an absolute
alibi. Perhaps that brought about GER
tain feeling of chagrin and desire for
revenge, which is now showing itself.
On Memorial Day Carter and Fifi de-
cided to remain at home, instead of rush
ing down to Atlantic City. They refused
several invitations, explaining that Carter
was now in fair way to become lead

ing citizen and that he had to stick
around more than he used to.
Philip Ludwell Leidy, Cafter's brother,
was very much impressed. Philip is just
a few years older than Carter, and he too
is relatively recent bridegroom. Since
his marriage he has settled down to hard
work. He is junior in the law Office of
Senator George Wharton Pepper, and is
said to be making good.
Indeed, Philip was so much impressed
that he and his wife decided to accept an
invitation from Carter and Fifi to spend
the day at Berwick watching the Memo
rial Day exercises of the local patriotic
societies Fii also invited girl friend
and, of course, her young man. Their
names have been withheld.
Everything went according to pro-
gramme during the early stages of the
celebration. The party watched the pa
rade of veterans from Carter's car and
listened to a patriotic grafton. They had
tasty luncheon prepared under Fits
direction, with much chatting from the
others. Dinner began with due solemnity.
There was much talk of Carter's future,
and both Carter and Fifi were praised
for Sticking it out" during the hard
years. Everything was so pleasant that
at length one of the visitors brought out
bottle containing a liquid which is said
to be most enjoyable when mixed with
orange juice and other ingredients and
shaken up vigorously with ice. Carter,
as host, did the shaking.
Dinner as result grew less dignified,
but not exactly hilarious. II dragged
along for some time. Philip and the other
visitor warned Carter against keeping his
