TALE OF ROMANCE
It is an ui. usual thing fur a man to
ri: it liia swct-thtart of youthful days,
8ft-r a period (A almost half a century
hag elapMMi, renew the eld story and
wed fc'r, especially after both of them
have lived lues of douhle blessedness
for the intervening space of time.
; Snob, is t'je tory of the recent wed
IdiiKi f Enoch Itrayfurd. Mr. Urayford
'tells the story in his own words tw low:
1 he writir, K.iix h ifrayford, and his
pr'.sei.t wife, Hannah lirayford, rper.t
thief yoiirirer days together attending
tin- ra'rne chn'ch at liioxwirh, a suburb
of Walxall. K.-glar.d. In the year 1m
our troth to each otlur was (iledgel
and our courtship days were happy,
. ar.d as we ftrulhd along the country
la e- and through the hy ways in the
l'u I Is t.0.1 r bted forr.c times on the old
country lilc, Hir eyes were blind to
all but loe. In the year lo7 1 took
pafi-ag? on the stearrship Moravia and
hiMl'd in America, having my flweet
hiart, Hannah, hchit.d. Hut love's
firings pulled hard ai.d long, so I re
turned to the old country and to my old
sweetheart, and our atfictiuns anU'iove
were renewed. Hut only a short time,
for unforeseen circumstances caused us
to i-eparnte. Afer six months Hannah
j got married to George, and I, of
course, to show that I was a man, got
i marrud to Klizaheth, and enjoyed the
'companionship of a devoted wife for 44
I vears. In the year 1011, December SK,
i 1 made a visit to my native land,
i Ki t'land. afur an absence of 24 years,
and not knowing anything about my
old lover, Hannah, for over 44 years,
I naturally emiuirtd as to her welfare.
I visited the little burg of Ploxwich.
1 found what looked to me an old resi
dent and 1 enquired of him, did he
know such aptrson? He replied that
he did. Hut George had died four
years hi fore.
'Ihen the old upark revived and my
footsteps were directed to, the cottage
hy the canal, so well known to me in
the years gone by. As 1 drew nearer
and nearer my .heart beat fus-ter and
my steps were quicker and my thoughts
were legion, but the greatest was,
".Shall 1 know my old love" The first
house I entered I enquired if this was
Mrs. I). A woman said "yes," but
I said, "You are not the person I am
looking for." She said, "You are
looking for the old lady; she lives next
door." On emerging from the house 1
met the old lover of days and years
gone by. 1 knew her at first sight,
and 1 grasped her hand and said, "O,
Hannah, don't you know me," and she
said, "1 do not know you." 1 then
said, '"lhis iH Enoch." You should
have seen the change wrought in her
face. Her hand trembled and her body
seemed as if touched by electricity,
but she mustered courage and asked
me in. On taking our seats the joy
was so great that we could not speak
for a fev. moments, but you can better
imagine the greeting than 1 can de
scribe it, and our affections for each
other soon ripened up into true love.
I he question was put and the reply
came like of Kuth, to Naomi, "Where
thou goest, I will go, and where thou
livesl i will live, and thy people shall
he my people." The old story soon
spared and Hannah's sons anu daugh
ters came home like Mother Carey's
chickens, lo see their mother's old
lover. 1 am told she often mentioned
:ny name to her children after the
death of her husband. Her children
are nil married. They treated me as
though I was their father, and right
royally did each family entertain us,
fur the tables were loaded with all the
good things for the stomach.
We had been well known in and
around the little berg of Hloxwich for
the past 47 years and many congratula
tions were showered upon us. The
bridegroom had been a local preacher
in the Primitive church in England for
a few years and spent 10 years in the
active ministry in the United Brethren
church in America. We were married,
January 2ii, 11)12, at Short Heath
chinch, and the wedding dinner was
served at her daughter's, Mrs. Ksau
Squier, at Short Heath, where a right
nival reception was tendered us and
presents were many. liut the day of
separation came, when we were gath
ered at the home of her son, Kllis. It
was a very affecting scene, especially
as we stepped into the train, as caen
kissed us for perhaps the last good bye.
We sailed for the land of "The Home
of the Hrave." Kebruary 10, 1912, on
the Steamship Carmunia, and our hon
eymoon was spent on the ocean, llav
ing made the trip to England on the
Carninnia, 1 was well acquainted with
the chief steward and other officers
and un their discovering that it was
our honeymoon trip, t'-cy served out
the wedding cake. At the concert
given on board the ship the bridegroom
was honored by being chaiinian of the
event. A rousing cheer was given for
the bride and bridegroom as thev sang
very heartily, "For lie's a Jolly Good
I'ellow.
Now we are at home at Ilond River,
where the best apples and the most
luscious atrawlierriesjn Uncle Sam's
domain are grown. Hannah says:
Give to me America, for its people
are so kind and their hospitality can
not be equalled." We expect to reach
the one hundred mile stone and then
some. Enoch and Hannah lirayford,
You Want It! We Have It!

Throughout this 1454-mile journey through
mud and sand, over swollen streams and
storm-swept mountains, the Maxwell team

team made a clean sweep won nil the troph

LARGE CROWD WEL
COMES LA FOLETTE
Although about 400 Hood Kiver men
and women had gathered at the station
here Sunday morning, when the west
bound Oregon and Washington Express
passed through with Senator and Mrs.
Robert La Folette, aboard,' because of
the schedule of the train, speech mak
ing was very brief. "My campaign
manager," said Senator I. a Folette,
speaking from the rear Pullman of the
train, "has prohibited me from dis
cussing political issues on the Sabbath.
However, he cannot prevent me from
expressing my pleasure and gratitude
for this evidence of royal hospitality."
Mrs. La toilette also made a few
remarks. "The injunction my hus
band's campaign manager has placed
on him does not extend to me. There
fore there is nothing to prevent me
from talking. I want to say a word
for woman suffrage. It is the great
moral issue of the day." She was
presented with a basket of wildtlowers
from the hills by local women.
Senator La Folette began a second
talk. However, the train started be
fore he had proceeded with but a few
words. "I thought I would be able to
say a little more," he said, "but you
see the railroads run everything," and
he smiled and waved at the crowd.
