The arrival of theyoung couple soon
became known and quite a number
of young people gathered at the
school bouse where the ceremony
was to be preformed. Tbe preacher
upon arriving, called Bill Fellers to

“I never saw
either,” Bill replied, “and I don’t be

“It won’t do to disappoint them,
for I understand the girl’s father is
in pursuit. Let’s see, you were com¬
missioned a justice of the peace the

Yes, but tbe papers didn’t shed
any light on marriage ceremonies.
“J don’t know what to do about

“They've begun to grow restless you
eee.”
“Well, parson, I don’t understand
it any more than you, but I am will¬

they ought not. Young fellow, have
you got your license?”
“Yes, sir.”
“All right. Hop out here, now.”
The young couple advanced.
“Join hands,” said Bill. “I would
like to say that the now ceremony
just approved by the government has
gone into effect. Those, who have
never seen this ceremony performed
will doubtless be amused at its nov¬

“I am a farmer.”
“Ah, ha. Ifow many rails can you
split in a day?”
“Four hundred in good timber.”
“Will you swear it?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Hold up your right had.”
He held up his right hand and was

“Are you a good hand to cover

“Yes, sir.”
“Please, say, ’yes, your honor. * t'
“Yes, your honor.”
“That’s right, how much can you

“Three itrces if the land is in good
condition.”
"Will yon swear it,”

“Yes, you honor.”
“Excuse mo. Yes your honor.”
“Hold up your right hand.”
And he was sworn again.
“What was the weight of the lar¬
gest fish you ever caught?”
“I don’t remember exactly. About
five pounds l reckon.”
“Will you swear it?”
“No, your honor.’’
“All right. Are you willing to
marry this girl?”
“Yes, your honor. If I wan’t I
wouldn’t have brought her here.”
“That's what 1 thought,” Bill re

“Yes. your honor.”
“How much?'’
“Oh, 1 don't know. Ever so much.”
“What did she say when you asked
her?”
“She said “yes."
