OLAUS-ABEGAIl..
On the afternoon of Feb. 22nd, 1905, at
the home of Mrs. C. O. Aspinwall 618
Cheyenne Ave., occurred one of the social
features of the season. A handkerchief
shower given in honor of Miss Ada Schupp
who will soon depart for a new home in
St. Joseph, Mo. As the hour hand point
ed at 3 by the uierd light of candles, a
bridal barty descended the winding stairs
to the music of one of Sousas marches
rendered by Edison's invention, to a cor
ner of the parlor draped with laces and
love's emblems, cupids and hearts, above
which hung a beautiful wedding bell of
pure white lillies under which the cere,
money was performed. The bride and
groom responded to the following solemn
vows:
Dearly beloved you have presented your
selves here for the purpose of being united
in the awful bonds of matrimony. Have
either of you anything to say why sen
tence should not be pronounced upon you?
You acknowledge that your souls are stung
and that way down in your hearts you
have a feeling, each for the other? Is
there anyone in this vast assemblage who
has aught to say why these deluded mor
tals should not be convicted to endure
each other's society during the rest of their
natural lives? If not let us proceed with
the solemn rites.
George Washington Olaus do you take
this woman for worse or not quite so bad
to be your joyful companion both when
summers warmth makes living cheap and
when the coal pile runs low? Do you
promise to let her love, honor and obey
you, to give her of your earthly means
when ever you do not need the money
yourself, to refrain from' eating onions
when she has not eatem, to go calling with
her Sunday afternoon providing your
funds hold out? Do you solemnly promise
to treat her kindly and never use force so
long as there is grape-nuts in the house ?
Do you promise to assist her in kindling the
fires, to lend your presence in the kitchen
while she prepares the evening meal? Do
you solemnly promise to bring in the coal,
saw the wood, wash the dishes, mow the
lawn, run the washing machine and any
other slight duties which she may suggest,
HOW ABOUT
YOUR INSURANCE?
Did you ever stop to think how important it is to have your proper
ty insurance written in a correct manner? Do you not know that
very frequently claims are turned down by insurance companies
because the location or description is incorrect, or because a gasoline,
an electric light or some other permit was not incorporated in the in
surance contract?
We want to impress upon you the importance of these details.
The writing of your insurance ought only to be entrusted to men of
experience, men who are conscientious and who take the same care
in writing a $200 insurance contract as in writing a $2,000 coutract.
A judicious selection of the insuring company is also of prime impor
tance. We write all kinds of insurance, and we respectfully solicit your
patronage. If you give us the privilege of writing your insurance,
you may rest assured that it will be as nearly right as great care and
years of experience can make it. We represent only the best of the
companies and guarantee prompt and equitable settlements of all
claims.
