Tho Westburn was tnken into Santa Cruz

Tho ship was then taken out to sea by

Tho depredations of tho .Moewe have

Miss licsile Ncary, who today became
a "correspondence bride," thinks tnai sno
has bad ft good deal of luck In picking
such h "fine fellow" as sho did, but does
not recommend a. correspondence court-
I ship for other girls. Miss Nenry. who
I lives at 3304 Haverford avenue, wan
married at 9 o'clock this morning to
Charles Kdson, a banker and bee rancher
of Knight's Landing, near Calexlco. Cal..
In St. Agatha's Catholic Church. Sho
was wooed and won by mall.
The ceremony was performed by the
Ilev. John Tuihy. Tho bridesmaid was
Miss llessle Oatsman and the best man
Stephen Shaughnesiy. The couple will go
to Atlantic City for their honeymoon and
from thero to California by way of New
Orleans. After the ceremony there wan a
reception at the home of tho bride.
"Courtship by mall In most cases I
should think would be taking n terribly
long chance." said Miss Nenry. "In my
own case It was perfectly all right, be
cause you see Charlie Is such a wonderful
man. But all girls couldn't be so lucky."
Tlin correspondence couple will go to
California to live, where they will settle
down like "two little love becH," ns goes
the song, on Mr. Kdson's bee ranch.
Miss Nenry says sho thinks sho will
learn to like California ns much ns sho
docs Philadelphia. Sho becamo engaged
when she went there last August. She
mado the trip partly to see tho Panama
J5posltlon. but mostly u boo tho man that
wrote her such thrilling letters. Sho liked
both erv much. Indeed. Sho says her en
gagement was not Inimntnneous, hut that,
on the contrary. It did not happen until
fully six dnys after she had arrived In
California. Then they bought the ring
and all the stories began to bo printed
In tho Sacramento papers. This Is the
only thing that worries Miss Nenry. She
Is afraid that she won't como up to tho
pictures drawn of her. Uut sho seems to
worry needlessly on this Bcore. Sho might
very well be called nn "Imported California
peach," with her blue eyes nnd pretty fea.
turen. Miss Neary met her husband In
Philadelphia, but they did not become
well acquainted until Mr. lWson returned
to California, and they wrote so many let
ters. "I am frightened because tho people
expect such a 'queen'," sho says. Miss
Neary expects to write a book on sunny
California some day and will devote no
small part of It to landing thero after a
"courtship through tho V. S. mall."

Police Court Chronicles
The fclght of ft chicken strutting nround
always awakens thd farm yard memories
of Kred Dcntz. Before settling In Ken
sington he had a big chicken farm tip
the stato which was talked of for miles
nround, It Is said, because of Its thor
oughness. So when Fred saw a homeless
rooster promenading along Trenton ave
nue ho took It under his arm. Thero
was something sympathetic; about the
touch of Kred, nnd the rooster knew by
Intuition that he was In good hands.
f"I r? JA 3
Dcntz carried him around until he camo
to a feed store. He borrowed several
flstfuls of corn and gave the bird a
banquet on the sidewalk.
The rooster wns enjoying the feast un
disturbed until a stranger camo along
with' another live rooster which ho had
Just bought for dinner. Without any in
vitation ho dropped It on tho sidewalk
and allowed It to butt Into the dinner pro- (
Vlueu uy j? reu.
Tho two roosters "squared oft" and then
collided. Feathers nnd "squawks"
mixed together and very soon a small
audieneo was attracted to the light.
Policeman Uradley heard tho commotion
nnd fth Fred couldn't explain where he
got the rooster, he was taken lo w
Trenton nventio and Uauphln street po
lice station.
On hearing that Uie prisoner had
really acted ns a good samarllnn without
any Intention of wrong-doing, Magistrate
JJIetz was touched, And to make mat
ters better for tho prisoner tho owner of
tho rooster nrrlved nnd claimed It. He,
too, Was convinced that Dcntz was actu
ated by humane Impulses. So In addl
tloii to being discharged, Fred received
tho price of a good meal.

Every good farmer knows that tile drainage restores wet
land. But quite a number of farmers have proved that it
also benefits land that's dry and hard. They say it brings
larger yields yields that are uniform from year to year.
It pays others. But will it pay on your farm ? What's the
theory ? Does it work ?
Can you tell beforehand approximately what underdrain
ing will cost? Is it a sound investment or is it a gamble?
These are some of the things you want to know before
