WEDDING DAY PROBLEM.
BATH TUB TO THU RESCUE. AN OUTBACK ROMANCE. A .remarkable story of an outback father's resourcefulness in romantic circumstances is told by Bathurst drovers who lately returned from a trip out in the far west of New South Wales. A family living some distance from a town had consented to give their daughter in marriage to a young man of the town. The wedding day was fixed, but heavy rain began to fall, and the nearby creek became a raging torrent, communication being entirely cut off. How to get the prospective bride, her bridesmaids, and family to town was the problem. Finally, the father fastened a bath-tub to a rudely consl ructed raft, and, placing the bride-to-be in the tub, rowed her across. He made several trips, and transported the whole family safely to the other side. All arrived at the church in time for tlie ceremony.
