The Once Over
THE TOM THUMB WEDDING

The marriage OF Miss Ina Short to Mr.. Luke Nudge
took place on o silver dollar in the Little Church
Around the Corner this morning. none Of the obstacles
being sufficient to hamper the happy couple to any
extent.
The ceremony was one Of the briefest on record.
The groom arrived first. making the trip in q Bantam
roadster. The bride followed a few minutes later in
a hamper born by three midgets. Some delay was
occasioned IN starting the ceremonies, due to the
fact that the officiating clergyman. the Rev. DR..
Smallman, had some difficulty entering the rectory
through the ventilator pipe, as required by the rules.
He made it in his fifth attempt. however. which was
two over par.
The bride and groom in. marching down the main
aisle had to scale two picket fences. get past a barbed
wire ENHANCEMENT. crawl through a barrel and leap
across two water holes. They negotiated the course
without any real difficulty. although the groom failed
to carry the first water hazard and there was some
argument whether he should be counted as a lost
groom or merely out Of bounds.
The brides father. "Dinky" Short. was supposed
to give her away, never did get TO the rail, owing 70
the fact he was unable to get through the barrel in
the allotted time.
The bride was attended by six OF the most under
nourished girls in town. Her gift to each was a copy
Of the Declaration Of Independence written on the
head Of a pin. The best men were all Lilliputians
loaned by the Radio-Keith circuit.
The Rev. DR.. Smallman read the marriage services
as condensed especially for the occasion by Cal
Coolidge. 1t consisted OF five words:
wanna be married?"
Yeah"
"Hookedl"
The bride looked bewitching in a mouse-colored
gown with squirrel trimmings and wore low-heeled
shoes In order to look as condensed as possible. She
carried half a bouquet Of dwarf-dahlias and wore
on the end Of her little finger a a wedding ring meant
for a child Of 6. The groom sat down during the
service in order to minimize his height.
Immediately after the ceremony the couple left
the church by crawling under a rug to the rear exit,
where they boarded the grocm's kiddy-kar and took
intricate detours to Rhode Island. the smallest state

Sudden Change of Mind.

It is doubtful If any one changes his
mind more often than does Raddy Fox.
He changes his mind to suit the condi-
tons of the moment. He is very clever
at changing his mind. The result is,
you can never be at all sure as to just
what Reddy Fox will or will not do.
1t was getting along toward Spring
and Reddy Fox was glad of it. He was
tired of Winter Winter is always a
hard time with Reddy. 1t is a time
when one needs to have plenty of food.
for food makes energy and warmth and
in Winter one needs much of both. Yet
at this season food is difficult to get.
Reddy has to spend much of his time
hunting for enough food to keep him
alive. But hard as the Winter is there
is a time between Winter and real
Spring which is in some ways the
hardest time of all. Most of the Winter
food supply has been eaten and the
Spring supply has not yet appeared. So
when Spring once shows signs of COM
ing Reddy is in hurry 70 have it
arrive.
It happened that Reddy had been
over TO the pond of Paddy the Beaver,
deep in the Green Forest. On his way
back he just happened to pass near
the tree which Blacky the Crow had
occupied the year before as q home.
He and Mrs. Blacky had built a nest
there. Reddy happened to think of that
and decided that he would 60 along
that way and see If Blacky happened
TO be about. 1t might be that Blacky
was going to use that nest again. You
see, Reddy has often learned from
Blacky where meal could be OBJ
tanned without running too much risk.
Blacky's sharp eyes miss very little that
comes within their range.
So Reddy trotted along thinking of
nothing in particular beyond the fact
that he wished he knew where he could
get a meal Suddenly, without
warning. Reddy was struck a sharp blow
