Harris-Hendricks.
Marion L. Harris, of Alder Slope,
and his bride arrived from Missouri
last week. Mr. and Mr3. Harris were
married at Coffeyburg, Mo., October
26, and remained in that vicinity
several weeks as a number of people
in that and adjoining communities
wished to coma West with them.
The Coffeyburg Enterprise gave the
following account of the wedding:
"A very pretty wedding was solem
nized at the home of N. E. Razy and
wife, a near relative of the groom,
in north Coffey, last Tuesday even
ing about 6 o'clock, the contracting
parties being Mrs. Ellen Hendricks
of thU place and Marion L. Harris
of La Grande, Oregon.
"The WeJding ceremony was per
form 3d by Rev. L. A. Moorman, pas
tor of the M. E. church at this place,
In the prasence of about 75 invited
guests. After rece'vlng the hearti
est congratulations of their friends,
the couple led the way to the dining
room, where they were served with
supper which had been prepared by
Mrs. Razy. ' -
"Mrs. Hendricks formerly lived at
this place, but for the past few years
has been living at Blair, Okla., where
her former husband, S. A. Hendricks,
died about three years ago; but had
returned to her old home about five
months ago. She Is a very efined
and cultured woman one any man
should be proud to call wife. She
Is well known and very highlyi esteem
ed in and around Coffeyburg, having
lived in this 'community the greater
part of hei life. -
"Mr. Harris formerly lived near
Gilmau City, where he has- a great
many relatives and old friend3, but
for the paU few years .as been liv
ing' In Oregon, whsre he has pros
pered greatly. During his short stay
at thii place he lias made many
friends, bo h young and old.
"Mr. and Mrs. Harris left the next
day for Gilman City to visit with
relatives, returning to this place
Thursday, where they will visit for
a week or ten days before leaving
for their home in Oregon.
"Tha bride and groom were the re
cipients of many useful and valuable
presents. Their many friends and the
Enterprise wish them joy and happi
ness as they journey through life."
A vry happy and unusual incident
not spoken of In the above account,
was a delightful musical entertain
ment Just berore the wedding, given

of the brjde. At its close

A TYPICAL
By F. A. MITCHEL.
Copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso
ciation. I
Eben Blackburn wtifii he went to
Paris was recognized by every one
as a typical American of that class
whose motto is, "Every tub on its own
bottom." Tin not ouly considered ev
ery oue beneath hliu, but every one
above him, his equal. No spirit of ar
rogance prompted him to set himself
up above the former, nor did auy false
modesty lead blin to shun the latter.
He wus as free with the one ns with
the other. The result was that he was
popular with all.
Blackburn bud risen in his own
country from peddling farmers' house
hold necessities hi a big red wagou to
luaunglug director in a large manu
facturing company. At thirty-live he
bad made money enough to enable hliu
to see the world, and he saw It. He
liked Paris and stayed there long
enough to learn to converse, after a
fashion, lu the French language, nnd
became Interested In French society.
Not being afraid of appearing at a
disadvantage among the better classes,
he walked in among them as If no oue
bad a better right and remained there
because they rather liked him. "What
charming effrontery!" tbey exclaimed.
"What droll humor! No one but an
American could thus disregard our con
ventionalities and be tolerated among
us."
But one morning Blackburn left
Paris, followed by the maledictions
of a select circle of French men and
women who had taken hiin up that
is, he would have been thus followed
bad they known where be bad gone.
There were others, who kuewtbecnuse
of the reversal of feeling toward him,
the corners of whose lips curved in a
polite satirical French smile. This is
the way it came about:
Blackburn gave a dinner to the set
who bad discovered in hiin such pi
quant American traits. Some evil
minded persons hinted that the reason
they fancied him was his dinners and
his theater parties, but this never came
to the ears of any of the circle. The
French are too polite to impugn any
one's motives to one's face. Blackburn
had discovered In Paris an American
scientist whom he had loug before
hired to make some investigations for
him in a process of manufacture and
Invited him to the dinner. The scien
tist tried to beg off on the pleo that
he had no evening dress. Blackburn
Insisted, and the guest appeared in a
pepper nnd salt suit.
Not even French politeness could
keep (be company from turning a cold
shoulder to the scientist. The poor
man endured the treatment till it be
enme unbearable, then excused him
self. For a few minutes after his de
parture there was nn embarrassing
silence, when Blackburn said:
"In passing your Hotel de Vllle to
day I noticed the inscription. "Liberty.
Equality and Fraternity. You talk of
equality In France, but you don't know
the word's meaning, in America we
don't try to tackle any one of these
words except liberty. We never prate
about equality, but we don't Judge a
man by his clothes."
Having thus expressed himself, the
host turned the topic nf conversation
and. instead of permitting them to fall
Into a bud Iminor with lilm. kept them
well entertained nnd Invited them to
another dinner to be given two weeks
hence, when he promised to present a
friend whom he wns sure they would
like. All accepted, and the party broke
up with much gayety.
When a fortnight had passed they re
assembled to admire the American's
originality, eat his viands and drink
his wines, ne presented to them M.
de Plesres. a Frenchman like themi
selves, who wns faultlessly dressed,
whose hair had been treated with curl-
in
tongs ana whose mustache was
carefully waxed. M. de Pierres
not a communicative man Indeed, bis
conversation was confined to "yes" and
"no." But since his dress indicated
that he was a gentleman be was treat
ed by the other guests with scrupulous
politeness.
The only time during the dinner
that M. de Pierres used any words,
excepting such as were monosyllables!
was when the conversation turned up
on soldiers meeting death on the field
of battle. "That Is not meeting' death
at all," said he. "It Is being over
taken by death and cut down without
realizing Its presence. It Is another
matter when one's ending has been
appointed to take place at a certuin
hour, of which he is cognizant, or when
he Is awakened at midnight from
sleep and led to meet the antagonist
whom be knows shall vanquish ulm."
