No, they did not allow the rudo hogs to sniff at thorn, or the steers to stare, merely out of Idle sentimentality, as some people are married In balloons, or 20,000 lengues under the sea. It was a practical matter with them. It was a matter of making the contract legal and binding. It was alt because the mischievous brother of the bride raised a technicality In regard to the license being obtained In Holt county, just at the moment when the minister was ready to conclude with the "Joined together let no man put asunder," formality. Thl brother knew all the time that the groom had purchased the license In Holt county: ana at the same time the mischievous brother knew that the ceremony was being performed In the home of the bride's parents which stood some fifty feet on the Rock county side of the line. The sly technicality hunter sat silent through most of the ceremony, and when It was almost over he arose and begged permission to interrupt for a moment "This couple," he said solemnly, al though he could scarcely suppress a laugh, "will not bo legally married If the ceremony Is concluded here, as this is Rock county and tho license were procured In Holt county." The bride grew pale. The groom's jaw dropped. The minister looked out of the win dow for the county line, which the naughty brother pointed out to him with a triumphant flourish of his forefinger. A hasty consultation followed. Then the young would-be groom rose to the situation. "I'm a farmer, anyway," he said, "and I don't know any moro appropriate place to conclude this ceremony than Just across the line in that pen with the thoroughbred stock." The bridal party filed out and through tho gate. Thl m nlster followed solemnly, Tho friends Joked and trailed behind. In the middle of the pen the final words were pro nounced and the marriage was legal. Tho corral was In Holt county. The groom is a graduate of Ames Ag ricultural college and Is at home among the live stock in which he takes great pride. Bloodhounds End Trail at Bradshaw BRADSHAW. Neb..

THINKS SHE'S A GIRL AGAIN Memory of MnrrluKe, Husband nnd Children nlotted Out by Train Accident. Edward Ireland of Bargalntown, a ham let eight miles from Atlantic City, N. J., was admitted to a room In the Atlantic City hospital to see his wife, who about a month ago was knocked down by a Shore Line express near 'her home and sustained a fractured skull. She hovered between life and death for three weeks, but several days ago began to Improve. "Who are youT" she Inquired when her husband entered the room. "Don't you know me?" Inquired Sir. Ireland. "No, I don't recall having met you," said the woman. "Was It at the party last week the one after school closed?" Mr. Ireland did not answer, but stepped outside to the corridor and sent In their five children, whose ages range from 3 years to IS. The boys and girls clasped her hands and kissed her, but she looked at them with the eyes of a stranger. When they departed and the father returned again to the room she said: "It was nice to see some young folks again. "Whoso children were they that Just left here?" Mr. Ireland said nothing, but, heart broken, went outside and told one of the physicians that his wife did not seem to recognize either him or her sons and daughters. "We feared that." the doctor said. "When she recovered consciousness she began to talk about events of years ago. She fancied herself a young girl, unmar ried and not long out of school. We hoped that your presence and that of the children might restore her memory," The husband, after his early grief had been quieted, sought other means to restore recollection of their marriage. He went about the neighborhood and brought to the hospital three or four persons who had been present at the wedding sixteen years ago. ' Mrs. Ireland although theso folks had been her most Intimate friends at the time of the oeremony and ever afterward greeted them with tho calm politeness she would have used upon meeting entire strangers. When ' they recovered from their surprise they spoke to her about her wedding. 11 married T' she responded, with a laugh. "Not II" In light-hearted , fashion she talked to them about events of the neighbor hood In whloh they had lived things that happened back In ISM and ISM, when they were all young; danoes. parties, after-school frolics.
