Hills was asked lo re-marry the young people, which he did, using the fallowing old German ceremony translated into English: You promise now, you good man there, What stands upon the floor, To take this woman for your wife. And love her evermore; You'll feed her well on sauerkraut, Beans, buttermilk and cheese, And in all things to lend your aid What will promote her ease? --Yah! You, and you, good woman, too-Do you pledge your word this day That you will take this husband here And with him always stay? That you will bed and board with him, Wash, iron and mend his clothes; Laugh when he smiles, weep when he sighs, And share his joys and woes? --Yah! Well, then, within these sacred With joy and not with grief, I do pronounce you man and wife; One name, one home, one beef! I publish now these sacred bonds, These matrimonial ties, Before my God, my wife, myself And all these gazing eyes. And now, you bridegroom standing here, I'll not let go your collar Until you tell me one thing more.

The New Peace Dollars. In a few days the United States mint will begin turning out silver dollars of a new design, the first novelty of the kind in many years. They have already received the popular name of "peace dollars," owing to the original design which showed an eagle, an olive branch and a broken sword. The latter feature was (be cause of considerable unfavorable criticism. It is charged that a broken sword is a symbol of defeat, surrender or dishonor.

There are those who say thai America has sheathed her sword and is advocating agreements that may make it unnecessary ever to draw the weapon again from the scabbard, but that she has not broken her sword, which has served her so well in the past. A vanquished foe tenders his broken sword in token of submission. This is not always the case, of course. Gen. Robert E.

Lee tendered his sword to General Grant but did not break it, and (he Union Commander promptly handed it back to the Southern chief. Many similar historical events have been recorded. The designer, Anthony de Francisci, says the severed sword is a weapon ol defense, but not of offense. "Above'the sword, from which the point has been broken, stands the American eagle, and surely the eagle can never be used to represent defeat." Owing tu Ihe criticism, the broken sword has been omitted from the design. Probably ibis is wise, although few persons would have carried their objections lo the point of refusing to accept the dollars.

That is not the regular way. Game More Plentiful. The game season, which ended with the old year, has been an enjoyable one for the hunters and we understand lhat an abundance of birds for restocking purposes has been left over. The fact that and similar game were plentiful during the season just closed is due very largely to the protection afforded them by the enforcement of the protective laws of the State and of the Uuited should be an incentive to have them continued in effect, with a few minor modifications' that several sportsmen think would be advantageous. Our game birds are a big asset to those who grow crops of whatever kind, and they should have a protection in accordance with their great worth.

Molly cottontails enough escaped the hunter to assure, with their wonderful powers of multiplication, abundance for next Evening.
