A CHARMING GROOM
AND WHAT HE WORE.
“Mr. Phil Bert, son of Mr and
Mrs. Brazil Nut, of Nuttingham
became the bridegroom of Eq
Wrights at high noon tod
The ceremony took place at the
home of the groom’s parents,
and was largely attended.
“Mr. Nut was attended by Mr.
Pecan as groomsman. As the
groom approached the altar he
was the cynosure of all eyes.
Blushing prettily, he replied to
the questions of the clergyman
in low tones, but firm. He was
charmingly clad in a three-piece
suit, consisting of a coat, vest
and pants. The coat, of some
dark material, was draped about
the shoulders and tastefully
gathered under the arms. A
pretty story was current among
the wedding guests that the
coat was the same worn by his
father and grand-father on
their wedding days. Mr. Nut
neither denies nor confirms the
truth of this sentimental touch.
The vest was sleeveless and met
in front. It was gracefully fash-
ioned with pockets, and at the
back held together with strap
and buckle. Conspicuous in
front of the vest was the
groom’s favorite piece of jewel-
ry, an Odd Fellows’ pin, and
from the upper left pocket was
suspended a large Ingersoll
watch, the bride’s gift to the
groom, which flashed and gave
the needed touch of brilliance to
a costume in perfect taste and
harmony.
“The groom’s pants were of
some dark worsted, and were
suspended from the waiste, fall-
ing in a straight line almost to
the floor. The severe simplici-
ty of the garment was relieved
by the right pantalet, which
was caught up about four inch-
es by a Boston Brighton worn
underneath, revealing just the
artistic glimpse of brown hole-
proof above the genuine leather
shoes, laced with strings of the
same color. The effect was
me vest uie groom
wore blue galluses, attached
fore and aft to the pants, and
passing on a graceful curve over
each shoulder. The pretty and
useful part of the costume
would have passed unnoticed
ted, so that it rode up his left
car with that studied careless-
ness which marks supreme ar-
tistry in dress.
“Mr. Pecan’s costume was es-
sentially like the groom’s, and
as the two stood at the altar a
hush of admiration enveloped
the audience at the complete and
wonderful harmony of the rai-
ment. Actually you could hard-
ly have told one from the other
had it not been for the patch of
court plaster worn by the groom
over the niche in his chin made
by a safety razor. Neither Mr.
Nut nor Mr. Pecan wore a hat
at the ceremony.
“As Miss Wright led her
groom from the nuptials, it was
noted that she wore the conven-
tional veil and orange blossoms”

BUSINESS IS CIVILIZATION.
Certain types of politicians
and college professors speak of
business both large and small
in a sort of apologetic manner.
Napolean Bonaparte was a
sort of progressive and advocat-
ed many advanced ideas but
spoke contemptuously of the
English people as “a nation of
shop-keepers.”
Socialists, communists, Euro-
pean doctrinaires and Carl
Marx theorists scattered all
over our country and big cities
express contempt for Big Busi-
ness and business men.
Tillers of the soil, skilled me-
chanics and common laborers
are all-important elements in a
great nation of 110,000,000 peo-
ple, but business men, organiz-
ers, managers, distributors, fin-
anciers, manufacturers are just
as indispensible.
Without the business man the
hand worker would supply his
own needs only, and would live
from hand to mouth in a very
primitive form of civilization—
one man bartering his work for
another’s.
Without, security and stabili-
ness or little business—no bank-
ing or transportation systems—
no progress and no civilization.
In a leading editorial, “Liber-
ty” calls all business one gigan-
tic system of co-operation, na-
WORDS OF APPRECIATION.
I desire to express my grati-
tude to the people of Kimble
County, who so loyally stood by
me in the recent campaign for
district judge, and who are now
ready, as in the past, to assist
in that greater campaign for
higher ideals and standards in
social and political life.
In law enforcement lies the
safety of the people; and, while
the opposition is strong and well
fortified, so long as I am your
district judge, a relentless bat-
tle against crime and immorali-
ty will be waged, in order to
create a wholesome environ-
ment for the rising generation.
For my friends and support-
ers, I have the deepest feeling
of appreciation, and only chari-
ty for those who have misrep-
resented, or misunderstood me.

The buck private with shoes
several sizes too large for him
at last angered the supply ser-
geant.
“Say!” bellowed the latter.
“This makes five times you’ve
complained about them shoes!
why can’t you complain just
once like the rest of the guys
and be satisfied?”
