GREAT MIsTAKE.-At a recent wedding
breakfast in Liverpool, the brides father
handed her note for $1,000, which the lady
transferred to her husband. He deposited it
IN his waistcoat pocket, along with G5 note
intended for the officiating clergyman. Be-
fore departing for the wedding tour the BRIDE
groom handed the clergyman one of the notes
IN requital for his services, and the other note
to his father for safe keeping. On his arrival
at nome the clergyman presented his wife
with the note, as he had previously promised
to do, for the purpose of purchasing new
dress Her astonishment was great, on UNI
folding the note, to find the amount was
$1,000. Of course, the mistake was lmmedi-
atey repaired.
