He was twice married, the first
time to Miss Annie Hennegan, of
Marlboro couhty. No children were

Rough on the Old Melde. j
( In a quiet English village there wat {
recently held a celebration in the
schoolroom at the dedication of a new
fire engine. It was a giddy evening,
with three speeches by local clergymen
and a long-winded oration by a
bald-headed politician. The gem of the
evening was the following toast:
"May she (the fire engine) be like the
dear old maids of our village?always
ready, but never wanted!"
