Married Twice In Five Minutes

Married Twice in Five Minutes.
     A young man from San Francisco met his affianced bride in Abilene, Kan., by appointment. They went to a minister and were married with the usual short ceremony, says the Abilene Chronicle. As the groom drew a roll of bills from his pocket to pay the preacher, the wedding ring, which he had forgotten, fell to the floor. The bride looked at the ring regretfully, though she said nothing of her disappointment at not being wedded by the ring ceremony. The preacher caught her look, however, and told the couple to stand up before him. Then he married them all over again, using the ring ceremony, to the very palpable pleasure of the young woman. As the pair left the parsonage the groom was heard to say, "Well, I guess we got all that was coming to us that time."
