bad humor. A few days later she met Mr. John on the street 

 and she simply raised Cain. She stormed terribly. She wanted 

 to know what in the world he meant and notified him that his 

 impudence and assurance and presumption were unprecedented, 

 and gave him to understand that she didn't approve of that way 

 of doing business and wouldn't have it. 



He took it all good naturedly, and in his mild, complacent 

 way he apologized, saying he didn't mean any harm, he was 

 sorry he had done it. He said it just happened that he was busy 

 and didn't happen to see her or he would have spoken to her about 

 it. But he said there was no harm done yet, as the banns had 

 only been published twice, and rather than have any trotible 

 about it, he said he would simply have the notice withdrawn and 

 she need not give herself any further uneasiness as he would in 

 this way make everything all right. 



During this conversation, her anger seemed to abate and 

 in a mild voice and sweet manner she said, ''Oh, well, being as it 

 has gone as far as it has, you might just as well let it go on." 



I thank you.

By the President: — This afternoon we had a very pleasant 

 message from Kansas and another from Missouri. It is only fair 

 we come down to our own state now, and I am pleased to present 

 the Hon. Lieut. Gov. Northcott.
