LESLIE--NOPPER

A very pretty wedding was
solemnized on Saturday after
noon, Jan. "a, at 4:30 O'Clock
when Miss Agnes hopper, OF
Port Deposit, became the bride
of Mr.. Lawrence Leslie, OF
Gibbstown, N. ].
The wedding took place at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. F.
Leslie, of Port Deposit.
The bride wore a lovely gown
of white satin, with hat and
shoes to match, and carried a
shower bouquet of white bridal
roses. She was attended by
Mrs. Leslie, who wore a peach
colored gown with eggshell
pink shoes and hat, and car
ried a bouquet of pink rosebuds.
The groom was attended by
his brother, Mr.. Robert Leslie.
The bridal party came to the
altar as the Wedding March
from Lohengrin was being
played. The ring ceremony
was used and the officiating
clergyman was Rev. Wayne A.
Monroe, of the Presbyterian
church, Port Deposit.
Thirty three guests were
present. The bride was the
recipient of many useful gifts.
The rooms of the Leslie
home were very attractive in
the lovely greens, with a touch
of yellow and white in the dec
orations.
At five o'clock the guests
were ushered into the dining
room where a lovely five course
supper was served. The color
scheme of yellow and white
was carried out in the favors,
place cards and in the last
course, which was pineapple
and French vanilla ice cream,
and cakes in yellow and white.
AS the bride cut the large we'd
ding cake each wished her a
long and happy journey thru
life.
At eight o'clock the young
couple left for trip to South
Carolina, and on their return
will make their home in Gibbs
town, N. J. The brides travel
ing dress was black crepe with
coat of light green, trimmed
with seal, and green hat to
match.
The bride is niece of Mrs.
J. c. Hindman, ST., of Rising

Almost Broke Up the Show

A theatrical star is still wondering
why, in certain city, he got lot of
laughs in the wrong place. 1t was this
way: In one Of the acts of his play
there was character seated at a tele-
graph instrument who was supposed
to send an important message. All the
star, who didn't know telegrlphy, heard
was a series of meaningless clicks.
But the actor who took the part of the
operator had been in the signal corps.
When he got TO his home town, he
figured that there would be some of
his old outfit in the audience. He
therefore started with the old call, and
then began to tap out certain recollec-
tons OF humorous nature. Itnlmost
broke up the show.

The spider was not to be seen. II had

Cremation Long in Use
for Disposal of Dead

Cremation Is one of the three COM
mon methods Of dlsposlng OF human
remains which antednte history. the
others being simple exposure and
burial or entombment. Cremation was
originally widely prevalent among
the 1ndo-European races. Through
out northern Europe graves OF the
Bronze age contain not skeletons hut
urns for funeral ashes. Cremation
was the general practice Of the
Romans for hundreds of years, while
the Greeks also practiced 1t to Il
great extent. Many Of the early
American Indians burned their dead;
the custom was common Of old in
England and In Gallo and Germanic
Europe; and In India and parts Of
other oriental countries Il Is regular
~ followed today.
With the spread of Christianity,
however, cremation became a rare
thing. Charlenlagne is said to have
punished with death those who prac-
uced 1t. Discussions looking toward
Its re-establishment began GEN.

OF them until Italy sanctioned crelna-
tion In 1852 by revoking prohihitory
laws. IT was legallzed In France In
1887, and had been Instituted In Eng

Deep Attachment Found sa.
ia so Among Jungle Animals

A lion was shot dead. His mate IN
a paroxym Of grief threw herself pros
trate over his dead body, then rose up
every hair on her back bristling with
anger. She had caught the scent of
the slayer. She followed 1t up, and
coming upon his camp leaped over the
fence to where the man sat. After she
had literally torn him to pieces, she
turned to mourn beside her dead lord.
This is one Of the tales Of "Family
Life in the Jungle" told in the Natal
Witness to indicate that in many cases
animals ''have human feelings Of love
and kindness to each other" Another
. instance comes from the Kalahari. A
group of lions, male and female, and
two cubs, were gamboling in a dry
river bed. Suddenly the lion threw up
his head; the air had told him mes
sage. Without turning his head he
emitted low purring sound to his
family, which instantly disappeared
into the bush. When they were safe
ly out of sight, the lion followed up
the scent. The white hunter, mean
while, struck by the almost human
scene Of domesticity, put up his gun,
determined, not to fire. At that mo-
ment the lion parted the bushes near
to him and stood, tail flashing, growl-
ing. He offered no inquiry, simply
waiting until the man had disappeared.
Then he returned to his family.
