Yes, Wedding Bells Will Ring for Him Paul Baird Nearly Had to Postpone Nuptials, but Now All's Happy. Things looked gloomy for the wedding Wednesday night of Paul W. Baird, but the clouds have now rolled away., Mr. Baird appeared Tuesday morning seeking a license to wed. He tendered the license clerk a copy of & divorce decree which last November severed him from Marie W. Balrd. \\&, Furay looked closely at the date, thel at a calendar and after a little mental arithmetic, said: “Nothing doing until Friday." The court record showed that Judge Redick had spoken November 11 and that the decree appeared to have been formally entered in district court November 12. “It is not six months until Friday," said Mr. Furay politely but firmly, and Baird gave up, sadly disappointed, but remarking, “I have always been a law abiding citizen and the law is the law, I suppose.'" Mr. Furay supposed so, too; and the in- cident appeared to be closed, although the license clerk said that Friday being the thirteenth and brides having a prejudice against Friday nuptuals even on another day of the month, he would stretch a point and issue the license on Thursday, “We've made arrangements v Wednes- day night,”” sald Baird disconsolately. Baird then fled to his attorney, who shortly afterward rang up Mr. Furay and argued volubly over the mathematics in- volved. As the law allows no parts of days, Mr. Furay finally decided that the six months might be construed to expire on Thursday, and even possibly on Wednesday, the eleventh. So if Baird applies again Wedneeday he will get his license, BRAZIL GREAT COUNTRY. DECLARES W. C. SUNDERLAND Great Chance for Young Men to Make Money, Says 'Traveler on His Return. W. C. Sunderland returned Tuesday morning from South America, after spend- fng two months looking over the coungry in the interest of Omaha capitalists, who contemplate’investing money In that land. Mr. Sunderland is highly enthusiastic over Brazil and although he did not invest while there, he would advise young men to go and see the wonderful opportunities there for a man who will work. “If 1 were a younger man, sald M ! Sunderiand, “I would go to Brazil. There is a countrty of opportunities. No work has been done on the land and evidently never will be until the Yankees go down and see what is at hand. A man could g down there and by truck farming make a fortune. The city of Rio Janeiro has more than a million population and affords market for all the stuff that could be vaised.
