KISSED BY MISTAKE.

An amusing scene took place yester-
day afternoon at that romantic spot,
Spoon Lake Station. After the trains
had arrived from the East, we'll dress
ed and middle aged lady was seen walk
ing up and down in an excited manner,
with look of anxiety overspreading
her countenance and it was evident
that she was expecting some one. FL
nally she spied young and stylish
ly dressed gentleman, who was standing
near one of the ticket offices leisurely
smoking a cigar and taking in the beau
tiful scenery of Spoon Lake. No soon
er had her eyes rested upon the young
chuck, than she rushed up and threw
her arms around his neck in the most
affectionate manner. and exclaimed,
"My dear Charles !! how glad [ am to
see you, and then smack she kissed
him. All this was done in moment
The young man was overwhelmed by
surprise. He failed to recognize the
affectionate female, and trying to olsen
gage himself, he remarked, 81 beg your
pardon, madam, but haven't you got
hold of the wrong person ?" Great
heavens she had A faint shrek was
heard, and then an explanation follow
ed. 1t appears that the lady in ques-
ton, who was on her way to San Fran
cisco, has nephew in Omaha, who look
ed just like the young man she had en-
braced so fondly, and who had promised
to meet her either at Spoon Lake Oh
Omaha. The bystanders, who witness
ed the scene, had gathered around and
heard the explanation. For few mo-
ments that 'dear Charles" could have
been bought cheap. He would have solo
himself for a two-cent postage stamp
and it is very likely that like amoun
would have bought the lady.
We are informed that when the lad,
arrived at Omaha the right Charles die
meet her at the depot, but she was yer,
careful to ascertain that he was tn
right person before she kissed him.
Charles must have been amused at hi
auntie's account Of her mistake over til
river, but mistakes will happen.
