LARMON-RIDDLE - Dot Riddle is known among his acquaintances as a steady hardworking jovial fellow. For the past two or three years he has been occupying the position of hired man with Farmer Samuel Larmon, at Orkney.

Mr. Larmon has a daughter, pretty, petite, and only 18 years of age, Famey Ann, and all unknown to the young lady’s father, the employee had found time to make love to her. The old, old story was told over again into willing ears, for on Wednesday of last week the young couple were married by the Methodist minister at Galt.

The story of the elopement is a simple one, for the reason that there was not the slightest suspicion in anyone’s mind of what was about to happen. It appears on Tuesday of last week there was a picnic at Brantford which the Larmon family attended. Dot Riddle also managed to be in Brantford that day, and unknown to the Larmon family met his beloved and made arrangements for leaving town that evening.

Accordingly the two met as arranged late in the day, but a younger sister being with Miss Famey, the couple at a loss for a time what to do, but finally the young lady told her sister to go back where the family was stopping as she was going up street. Then a streetcar was hailed and the young lady accompanied by her Romeo, went to the railroad station, where they entrained for Galt.

Much concern was felt at the non-appearance of Miss Famey when the time for departure arrived, but when the young sister told her father, that Dot and Famey had gone up the street together, their fears were allayed, and they returned home without her, thinking the couple would follow later.

What was their surprise when Dot returned alone, and asked for the young lady’s clothes

can better be imagined than described.

Suffice to say that the young man is now out of a job, and the couple for the present are stopping at his father’s farm at Rockton.

There is nothing known to the young man’s detriment, and it is hoped better judgment will prevail soon, and that the couple will once more enjoy the confidence and esteem of all their relatives.

When the ceremony was over the bride, bridegroom and wedding party were going to the cab in waiting “the fun” began. A number of the boys around had industriously gathered various kinds of missiles, and when the party came out of the church door the mischievous youths fired them at the bride and bridegroom promiscuously. One of the pumpkins went through the cab window, and the door was also nearly torn off. One lad fired a two-pound bag of flour, which hit the groom on the head and burst, the flour going over his black clothes. Nor did the bride escape; she came in for a liberal supply of flour.

In his hurry to get away, the cabby had not noticed the decorations on his cab, and it tore through the streets with festoons of cabbage stumps and pumpkins flying behind.
