Because Justice Foster of Chicago holds that a man has a right to love whom ho pleases, William Ryan of Soutii Chicago recently married Miss Nellie Dufresme, daughter of Anton Dufresm, 10106 Avenue M, South Chicago. The ceremony was performed in St. Pat rick's church against the wishes of the parents of the bride, but to the entire sat isfaction of everyone else concerned. It was some weeks ago that Ryan, aged 21, declared his love for Nellie, aged 19 years. The young woman was prepared to take Ryan for better or worse, but when Mr. Dufresme heard of the affair he had the young man arrested for disorderly con duct. The case cam before Justice Foster at South Chicago, and after listening to both aides of the question the Justice delivered himself of an opinion that will endear his memory to every lovesick swain. Digested to the bone, the opinion held that It was the right of every free born citizen of th United States to love whom he pleased. It mattered not, according to the Justice, whether the father of th bride waa particularly pleased or not. The opinion so pleased tha young couple that they at once set about saving money to set up housekeeping. When everything wss ready th cere money was performed, to tha great Joy of tha contracting parties and th extreme annoyance of Mr. Dufresme. Married the Man She Saved.

She gav a scream as Lustlg dropped by the window, but when she saw he had hold of the sill she Jumped to his rescue, entirely heedless of the green paint that was dripping; from above In showers and ruining her new spring dresn. She grabbed the painter by the collar and with a mighty heave helped him climb through the window to safety. Lustlg was too much unnerved at first to notice anything. But after a bit ha was attracted by the soft brown eyes that looked at him so compassionately. Then he noticed the new dress spoiled by the green paint "I'll buy you a new dress," said Charles, gratefully. "Neln, neln," replied Annie. My mother carriage." Annie blushed and quoted part of a cur rent expression. "All light," said the "duke;" you can get the baby carriage later." Then he got down to business and made out the triplicate papers. Th two signed th contract and tha "duke" said, very solemnly: "I pronounce you man and wife." The couple stood hand In hand, too happy to speak. . "Kiss her," said th "duk." ' Lustlg blushed and looked awkwardly at the reporters, but made no move to obey, "Kiss her," thundered Levy, "It Is h law," and very hesitatingly and shyly the couple kissed each other. Then Annie sat down and looked happy, while Charles dug Into his pockets for the tea. Rivalry In Telephony, Ohio has more Independent telephones throughout the country than has any other state In the union. For second place Indi ana, Iowa and Kansas are In close compe tition. While the states most densely popu lated should have more telephones than those with less population, at the same time the matters of distance and bad roads and Isolation In some of the less populous states lend Inducements to the telephone service that are stronger than In the densely popu lated rural sections. Colorado has few tele phones, but those that exist are used to aa wide purpose as they can be made to serve. In the great canons, where a town may be snowbound for two months or more, there is telephone connection everywhere, while In the miners' cabins, still further removed, there are many telephones.
