ficient funds to complete the work. Ttie
(flag stones will be taken up and sola.
(These stones are flat and about two feet
square. They rerfdlly sell for 10 cents

Wedding Party Goes
Across Line to Make
Ceremony Legal
PILGER, Neb.. May 25. (Special.)
To have tho marriage ceremony per
formed In a cow and hog yard surrounded
by bellowing cattle and groaning hogs,
was the experience of Mr. Lloyd Doty
onri flb T j I'tno Cn ' whn nrn m ... n -
rled In Holt county just across the line"
separating Rock from Holt counties. 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.

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.
Incidents of her own children's
youth, little thmv that any molhtr
should know. Mrs. Ireland hod not
the sIlKhtrst memory of. And rn
when her husband talked to her alone
jftnd tried to reoall the most Important
happenings of thslr courtship and
honeymoon, she stilt did not remember.
Within a month or so, the doctors say,
