His Best -Laid Plans
Ended in Civic Lane
REV.BEN SPENCE ALMOST MADE A
OTIRATEIDIC GETAWAY, BUT
FATES WERE UNKIND.
(Wednesday's Toronto Star)
Young Lochinvar who came out of
the west had nothing on the Rev. Ben
H. Spence in the matter of planning a
speedy getaway with his bride. Lochin-
var hada horse; Mr. Spence had a trot
or car: Lochinvar gotcleanaway with
tine fair lady, Mr, Spence didn't. And
thereby hangs this tale.
The well-known temperance worker
was wed in Wesley Methodist 'Church
yesterday to Miss Elizabeth Satterley,
the lady who nursed him back to health
when ire had the "flu," All went well
at the church and amid showers of con-
fetti the couple drove away about 2,30
p.m. to make tt call at the Spence apart-
ments on Crawford street before going
to the train.
There was a goodly number of the
happy couple's friends at the apart-
ments, They proposed to see to it that
a proper send-off was given the pair,
But lir. Spence is a strategist. Long
years of working among politicians had
not been vainly spent. 'He had foreseen
something of the sort so he had bidden
his chauffeur to drive around and down
the lane that runs between Crawford
street and Montrose avenue at the ap-
pointed minute- for their departure,
And promptly at that minute bride and
groom slipped stealthily away from
their friends out the back entrance to
the lane and into the car. The chauffeur
turned on the gas and the car shot south
ward scorning all speed laws.
But it did not go far. Directly in
front of the coupe were a couple of
scavengers with their carts, They went
about their work in the usual steady
fashion and the plight of the. reverend
bridegroom meant nothing in their liv-
es. Desperately the Spence chauffeur
tried to back up the lane. He was pro-
bably a triffle nervous for he backed
into a post and stuck there. in the
meantime the•guests of the bridal pair
had discovered their appearance and
Started on the trail. They soon found
it and In a moment or two they follow-
ed down the lane with all their motor
cars so there was no possibility of es-
cape.
Hemmed in by scavenger carts in
front and motor cars behind, with back
yard fences on either side, Mr. and
Mrs. Spence must have experienced all
the emotions of tit, Light Brigade rid-
ing into the Valley of Balaclava. As if
by magic all the back yards on either
side of the lane became populated and
the fences were lined with laughing
faces, People brought their cameras and
the photographic batteries and plenty
of play. Mr, Spence held itis hands up
before ]tis face in a rather futile effort
to star tine picture' taking,
There were all kinds of chaffing from
the crowd. "is this where you are hold
ing your wedding reception in a lute?"
queried an old friend of the Alliance
secretary. "Nice place to bring your
friends, Henn," kidded another. And the
groom had to take it all smilingly,
Somebody told the scavenger Wren
that they should hold up the bridal pair

Thanksgiving comes too early this
year to permit the turkeys to become
fattened up and ready for the market
and dealers report that the supply will
be very limited. As a natter of fact the
number of turkeys offered each year is•
becoming less and less and that is one
of the reasons for the high price around
