JU1KJE EVANS ASSISTANT TO WAX CUPID.

Wedding in the County Clerk's Oflioe Last Week in Which the

Judge Oiliciates.

Judge H. K. Evans was a party to a happy Thanksgiving for a couple, who came to the city to be married that they might celebrate Thanksgiv­ing as newly weds. The couple had applied for a license at the office of the county clerk. The license had been filled out by Deputy Morrow and the couple asked for some per­son to pronounce the words which would make them man and wife. Mr. Morrow thought of Judge Evans the first thing and went to the court room and told the judge he was wanted immediately in the clerk's of­fice. The judge hurried down and when he found it was a wedding he was slightly taken aback. The couple looked mighty anxious and the judge went through with his part of the program in fine style.

Following the ceremony the groom slipped the judge two silver dollars. The judge handled them for a sec­ond and then gave them to the bride. The couple were George Mahren-holtz, of Red Oak, and Enid Leffler, of Van Wert. There was congratula­tions all around and the happy young couple hustled from the court ho^se and went to the depot where they caught a train for a home they will occupy at Red Oak.—Osceola Demo­crat.

Jewelry always makes the best gifts for many reasons.

It is so much more lasting than almost anything else and no one can dress up without at least two or three pieces of jewelry, such as cuff buttons, tie pins, watch chains, or a brooch, bar pins, lin­gerie clasps, rings, etc.", so that it readily makes the most appropri­ate gift that one can give for it never gets out of season, and the kind that Butler sells is guaran­teed not to wear out.
