I "AND THE FIRST ?
| SHALL BE LAST" |
[Orldaal]
I was at work on my Sunday ser
mon when my wife opened the door.
She was laughing.
"There's a young follow downstclrs
who says he wishes to see you about
marrying him."
I didn't like to break off froui the
thread of my discourse; but, laying
\own my pen, I went Into tho parlor.
There stood the yotingster, six feet In
height, strong as Sampson, light hair
ed, blue eyed, red and brown complex
Ion, shocky hair. His trousers were
In his boots and were supported by a
pair of couutry store galluses over a
woolen shirt; no coat; a felt hat In
his hand. He had come In with an ox
whip over his shoulder, which ho
placed on the mantel. Evidently be
regarded the furniture as too good to
sit on; at any rate, he was standing,
"Be you the parson?" he asked.
"I am."
"Say, parson. If I Agger roun' today
an' git things fixed, could I come up
here 'Jong with a gal an* git married?"
"Certainly. I shall bo here all the
morning. I have some ?parochlal du
ties for the afternoon, but If I knew
the hour you would be hero I would
be on hand."
"I nlu't done It nil yet. I d"ne If
except one thing. I got my license.
That's already. I got It more'n n
week ago."
"That's the only really Important
matter." I replied to-UsJp him on.
" 'X you got n certificate, hain't
you?"
"Lot's of them, In blank."
"Well, that's two things? the cer
tificate and the license."
"You're right; that's two very Im
portant things, one Indispensable and
the other convenient."
" 'X' here's a place to get married
In."
"Has your flanceo got her trous
seau?"
"What's them?"
"The first means sweetheart, the
second the clothes brides usually get
together so they won't have to call 011
their husbands for some time after the
wedding for such articles."
He stood thinking for a moment,
theu looked up and said with anima
tion:
"By cracky, parson, that's a good
Idea. Never thought o' that."
"Has she got It?"
"Oh, I don't know nothiu' 'bout that.
'Twouldn't be fust rate for me to. tal^;
about that. 'Twould be dead mean
cheap."
"There are more Important things
for the man to say, I grant, and more
becoming."
"What are they?"
"Well, the first thing Is the pro
posal."
"That's Just the trouble with the
whole business."
"Did you find It difficult?"
"Difficult? You bet. I hain't got
through with it yet."
"Phew!" I looked at my wife. She
sat behind the young man and was
cramming her handkerchief Into her
mouth to stop an outburst of laughter.
My exclamation was made under my
breath, but the youth saw It.
"Just you hold on, parson." he said.
"I'm good for It yet. Just gimme time.
But I'd rather drive my ox team up
a stone wall. I would. She's In town
today. I seen her In a store buylu'
some stockln's. That's why I came up
here."
"I>on't you think you'll have letter
settled the matter with the girl first?"
"Well." he frowned, "there's differ
ent ways of doln' things. Kf I'd asked
her and she'd said 'yes,' what In thun
der would I 'a' done with nothln"
fixed?"
"Are you sure you have the pluck"?
"Now, parson, don't you worry 'bout
that. I'm going right off to find her.
You'll be here when I get back, will
you?"
"I'd stay In all day to marry such a
tine fellow as you. Go ahead. Remem
ber what General Grant said when he
first marched a brigade against the
Confederates."
"What'd he say?"
"That he remembered the enemy
would likely be as much frightened as
he."
"Oh, she won't bo frightened. Gals
don't skeer worth a cent."
lie grabbed his whip and In a Jiffy
was out of the house and striding
down the street.
I went back to my sermon and wrote
for nn hour when my wife threw open
my study door, exclaiming:
"They're coming!"
"Who?" 1 asked, not so readily turn
ed from my subject.
"The young ox driver and his girl.
Come."
"I went downstairs, and there In the
parlor were the pair. They had Just
come in. The man looked as if he were
In a battle and was looking for an ene
my and an enemy was looking for him.
The girl, a little country beauty, was
all smiles aud blushes, with struggling
teara.
"I done It, parson," said the ox driv
er proudly.
"So I perceive."
"My wife stood them up before the
mantel and had more trouble to get
them placed properly side by side than
a pair of skittish horses. Then I mar
ried them.
My wife gave the bride a kiss which
opened her heart and her lips as well,
for she told all about It. She had loved
him a long while; but, nlthough she
had often tried hard, she could never
Infuse courage enough In hlrii to In
duce him to propose. Which goes to
prove that when he said "gals don't

Judge William II. Tuft to the presi

staff will hold forth on the tenth floor
of the building, which Is the first floor
of tho tower. The latter has forty

soars to about 700 feet above the street

honor of being the highest odlee build

and his assistants will be able to cot
a pretty good view of the situation by
taking the elevator to the upper sto

the land lies around New York at any
time, and If their political vision Is
proportionate In scope to the view
they can obtain from such a lofty
height they will be at quite an advan

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WEIL
Ho.illh in Worth Snvlng and Somn
Aluahn People Know How to Save It.
Many Alaska people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting tho kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsi
ble for a vast amount of sufTering and
ill health, but there is no need to suf
fer nor to remain in danger whon all
diseases and achcs and paines due to
weak kidneys can bo quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Dean's
Kidney Pills.
P. Lammeh. 121 North Terry Ave.
Seattle, Wash., says: "It is now three
years since I gave a testimonial recom
mending Doan's Kidney Pills after the
prompt and satisfactory manner in
which this remedy had relieved me of
kidney trouble which had affected me
o!T aud on for a number of years. Just
prior tn using Doan's Kidney Pills, my
suffering had become more severe, ncd
one day I wss taken suddenly with at
tacks of sharp pains through my loins
and bladder. I sent for a doctor who
Gnallv used a catheter. This gave mo
creat relief at the time but still I bad
trouble afterwards with Irritation of
the bladder and with the disordered
action of my kidneys. I be? an using
Doan's Kidney Pills and they acted
very promptly and directly on the parts
affected, so that tho bladder trouble dis
appeared and In other way I found great
realief. This was several years ago but
still I am a hearty advocate of Doan's
Kidney Pills and recommend them to
all sufferers from Kidney trouble."
