A three-weeks’ honeymoon, perturbed by bullets which an irate father-in-law fired at the bridegroom, the arrest of both and their arraignment in Police Court, have convinced Mr. and Mrs. Max Ritter of f414 North Nineteenth street that their secret marriage was a false start. So they will be remarried Sunday night at the Congregation of Sheerith S’phard, Fifteenth and Wash streets, with the conciliated parents of the bride co-operating. The ceremony will be followed by a feast, for which the viands. are being prepared, at the home of the bride- groom’s parents at 1424 North Nine- teenth street. Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Smith, the bride’s parents, who live at 1019 North Leffingwell avenue, promise to be the gayest of the banqueters. Orthodox Rabbi Obtained. A rabbi of the Reformed Hebrew Church performed the secret marriage At the request of Smith, an will officiate Sunday ceremony. orthodox rabbi night. Ritter, who is 20 years old, and Miss Clara Smith of the same age, were mar- ried Dec. 19. She returned immediately to her home and did not notify her par- ents of her change of name.

It was realized that when men’s liberty is at stake, artificial distinctions must be disregarded. Neither was there an age restriction. -Any man old enough to get a marriage license, or have one issued with his parents’ consent, ' was admitted. As there is no old age Mmit at the marriage license office, snowy hair was no bar to attendance and. par- ticipation.

> 7 ~ Ped Mike Wa. Reasons Why The seadcs | Cannot Satisfy,Their Empivyers. I believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who daily lose their places for reasons they -do not know, and probably would not believe. When their last pay envelope comes along it is usually “Your serv- If the truth were known, the reason for their un- ceremonious removal would probably be that their usefulness was destroyed because of some mental worry, bodily ailment or general indisposition. These things, as we all know, are the most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost because of a headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid, active and free from outside in- fluence or worry, or else we go down to failure with the throng of “float- ers” who go from one place of em- ployment to another, giving no satis. faction to others or to themselves, con- stantly growing older and Jess useful, with no ambition, no will power and no hope. Every man requires from every other man the best that is in him. But no man can use or get the best that is himself until he is first free from all fretful indispositions and worries. That was my trouble. I was full of troubles. _That’s why I lost my job. My stomach.in the first place was al- ways out of, order, and I was worry- ing about it and my mind grew cloudy and slow. I\made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That was the end. There are thousands Nike me, going about with “quick lunch” faces, dys- peptic manners, and repulsive atmos- pheres. No employer wants: such men’s services, | | Take my advice. A healthy stomach is half the battle, for it keeps your mind clear, and your face rosy. I have a healthy stomach now and hold a good position, and my employer is sat- isfied, and so am I. 4 I started to take Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, which I was told were good for the worst cases of indigestion and dyspepsia. The first two tablets made a wonderful difference in my condi- tion. One ingredient of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets digests 3000 grains of food. The stomach doesn’t have to work at all. The Tablets do all the work, no matter how heavy your meal. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets cure brash, eructations, burning sensationa. bloat, irritations, loss of appetite, nausea, heartburn, lack of energy, loss of memory, and dyspepsia and indiges- tion in ‘their very worst forms. No other little tablets in the world ean do so much. You should carry them around with you wherever you go and take them regularly after meals. Then you will realize what it is to be freed from stomach torment, and have a clear mind, a quick mem: ory, a happy disposition, comfort and rest.

Why [Lost My Jo, ‘In opening this gathering,’’ said the new Chairman, “lL believe we should make it tnderstood:-that not only bachelors in the strict sense of the word, but: likewise widowers and div—- any others eligible for. mar- riage, to make common cause with us. Let us have the understanding that, in our discussion and in our. official acts. the term ‘bachelor’ will include these others. If there is no objection, I will declare this to be the sense of the meeting.”’ ‘No Wedding Bells for Me.” There was no objection, and a num- ber of men who had been occupying inconspicuous seats on the floor began to move toward the stage and find chairs there. Among these were no- ticed Breckinridge Jones, L. D. Dozier and Gen. John W. Noble. Harry M. Coudrey was the author of the first motion. ‘I move,’ he said, “that a committee be appointed to de- vise a plan of insurance. Members can be tested mentally and phrenologically to determine their susceptibility. and the premium they should pay. The hene- fits wil] then be paid if, in spite of sin- cere efforts, they are captured and wed- ded.”’ ‘The insurarce principle may be a good one,” he argued, “but to apply it in the way Mr. Coudrey suggests would merely be to place a premium on mar- If there is to be insurance, it be against breach of promise ’? riage. should suits.”’ “What Mr. Forman has just. said,’’ Henry Garneau interposed, has suggest- ed to me that a Legal Aid Committee might be preferable to a plan of money

insurance. I move that such a commit; tee be named.’”’ Names Two Committees, time, and both were carried. He named Mr. Coudrey as chairman of the Insur- ance Committee, with Gardner Mc- Knight, Dr. M. B. Clopton, Mark Ew- ing and Joseph Clarke as his associ- ates. On the Legal Aid Committee, with Mr. Garneau as chairman, he named MHenry T. Kent, Robert MacLaran, Lee /Hagerman, Clarence T. Case and George W. Wadlow. ; Stephen A. Gore, who has been best man at more weddings than any other St. Louis bachelor, addressed the chair. “T haven’t any motion to make,’’ he said, ‘‘but I.want to advise everyone here to accept all the wedding invita- tions he gets this year, and not to pass up a chance to take dinner with a newly married couple. Be a best man when- ever you're asked to. In that way you will become immune. Look at me. I'm here to help others, not because I’m afraid for myself.’’ ‘Mr. Gore has struck the right chord,”’ said Alfred G. Robyn. “Be a ladies’ man, and you have a chance to escape being a lady’s man.”’ Theo C. Link rose to a point of order. ae wus nothing before the house, he said. ll put something before’ the h said William Marion Reedy. “This plague of leap year, that has forced us to meet for mutual protection, is all a matter of tradition. You can't abolish a tradition all at once, and probably you can’t get the women folks out of the idea that they have a right to propose in leap year: But we can abolish the men’s part it. For in- stance, the tradition that a man who rejects a leap-year proposga! must give the proponent—I get the word from my friend Hlubbard—a silk dress. Now, Mr. Chairman, silk dresses have ‘ately be- come more costly. Doubtless this is in anticipation of the open season for man nunting. ass “IT move that it be the sense of this or other
