and Miss Snsie Aloyiug of Klim, Alaska were united in the Holy Eo:ids of

O lr spe cial correspo ident informs us that at Klim, Lewis, best man,as
sisted the groom t<, be, in arranging matters for the trip.The mother of the
bride intended to come with the couple, but circumstances prevented it.
Over the trail they flew while two hearts beat in unison to the joy of Cu
pid's plan, and it seemed his plan to keep the fond hearts waiting,for at
Sh iktoolik .1 spe :ial mess ige from Klim urged them to hie away to rnalakleet
and have,forthwith, the nuptial knot tied,which was the proper thing.
B':lO! the pranks
()f Cupid’s whim;
It was so sad,
It was too had;
The missionary said
r‘’Nay!nay! from
Klim thou didst flee.
Bank must thou go
And Tenth the roof
Maternal ro< t
Reveal thy heart;
.\sk for tli t hand
Krdm i motive * rowing,
Waiting there;
Ye i, ‘aeath that roof,
'Midst swaying spruce,
C ill in thy fi iends
And the parson eall
And wed the one
Thou boldest dear.
But the groom to he
Smiled knowingly
And said, says he,
“I don’t agree,
For he said, says he,
"To St. Mike we’ll hie,
Where the Judge.the knot.
Will tie for me ’’
And forth they sped
That he might wed
'Die oiie he held so dear.
‘Twas threescore miles,
But short they seemed
As from tlie sled
A sweet face beamed,
A smile that Albert
Thot so rare.
‘Twas Aaron’s doggies
And how they sped,
For a double feed
Ilad Aaron fed,
That no mis hap
As a we ikening pup
Should keep the Tudge
From tieing up
'File fair young lass
And the groom to be.

‘‘Where is the place?
Where is the man?
lie loudly called,
As thru the town.
He rushed around.
I want the judge
We want him now ’
Forthwith he came
With blanks and pen
‘ ‘All o’er so soon.
And we are wed!
Well, Thank you Judge”
And “thanks” she said.
