A Matrimonial Brokers
Suit.

TheIndianapolisJ Journalsays:
A case was tried at a Justices $
court ut South Bend few days
ago which has some rather nov-
el aspects, and involves some
new principles Of law. The
plaintiff and 4 defendant were
both Germans, but we will call
them A and b. A few months
since B, the defendant, being a
widcwer, expressed a desire to
get married. as widowers have
been known to do before. a,
the plaintiff; SO far sympathized
with this laudable purpose as
to propose to aid him in the
matter, and proposed a junction
with certain young woman, who
hover, proved to be intractable,
as young women sometimes are,
and the contract and negotia-
ton were transferred to wild
ow whom the defendant ex-
pressed a perfect willingness to
accept in lieu of anything bet
ter. The two were introduced,
and after some brief and unim-
portant preliminaries, were mar
ricd. The match, however,
didn't prove to have been made
in heaven. After a month Of
welded bliss they separated,
and B drove his wife back to
her old home in his wagon, like
"a good husband. But right
then and there, and while his
late spouse was in the very act
of disembarking, his horses and
wagon were levied upon by the
officers of tae law at the suit Of
A, who demanded fifty dollars
for his services in making the
match. The case was tried be-
fore a jury. 1t does not appear
that A warranted the marriage
to be happy. B admitted the
services, but denied that he had
promised to pay anything for
them. The jury heard the ev-
idencc, and after being out "a
bout an hour gave the plaintiff
a verdict for nine dollars.

What He Admitted.

(. Yesterday forenoon while
Republicans were claiming that
the Presidential question was
still in doubt, a man in saloon
on Monroe avenue called out:
'1'll bet that Tilden is cleo
ted" :.
''I'll bet that you ale a liar!'
replied voice.
The two clinched, rolled on
the floor and tussled around, ,and
the Tildenite finally had the
other at a disadvantage.
"Now will YOU admit that
Tilden is elccted?phe asked, let
ting up on the other little.
~No, 1 won't!" gasped the mn
dermost, "but III admit great
Democratic gains all over the
countryl" l a3
That was good enough, and he
was lifted up and taken out. -

"A Curious Ceremony.

In consequence of the intended
pulling down of All Hallows
church, Broad street, Chespside,
London, the condemnation of
which was recently announced, a
"decoD secrating" service was held,
and attended by the lord mayor
and several members Of the COM
mon council. The church is
a mean and unimposing structure.
The only feature OF interest is
the marble font used at the bap-
tism OF Milton, the poet, who was
baptised at All Hollows in Decem-
Der, 1908, and a tablet in the yes

Unsuccessful as a Corpse.

From the Washington Cd. CO Chronicle.
About the sharpest dodge at

few days since in this city. A
femaleof good address, but poor

Trinity Episcopal Chtrreli, and
stated that she had been a men,
Der of that church and attended
there, when she could afford re-
spectacle clothing, but now
she was reduced in circumstan-
ces, and what was worse than all
her sister was a corpse, in her
house, and she had no means
wherewith to bury her. She
gave her address, a house Oh
New Jersey avenue, southeast,
and so moved was the pastor by
her appeal, that through his ei-
forts and others charitably dis
posed, q sum of money was
raised by the day following
This sum, together with the ad-
dress of the supposed sufferer,
was handed TO some ladies, who,
proceeding to the place indica--
ted, were shown 10 a second stO-
ry room, wherein was the body
of woman, on bed, apparent
ly dead, and motionless as
corpse, with the side scenes Of
child crying, and the woman
who made the appeal leaning
her head on the window-sill o.
yercome win Srlei. The scene
was so solemn and impressive
that the ladies soothing the grief
Of the latter handed her the a.
mount collected and left, each
thinking how little one-half the
world knew of the sufferings Of
the other balf. One of the par

A Badly Matched Team.
From the sprlpgfeld Repnbliean.

/ - - PAADb HC4O ACpuSltbdat
Among the first things a
couple have TO do after getting
married;sto accommodate them
selves each to the Others walk,
and in this matter of accommo-
dation they don't always sae-
ceed well. Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Nabb, in the Second ward, have
had an especially hard time in
this respect, and arc really lite
tie better off than they were at
the beginning of the honey
moon. Mr.. McNabb is tall and
lean with a stride Of about a
yard, and Mrs. McNabb is short
and dumpy, with a step careful
ly estimated by her husband at
.aboat six inches oa the av erage; !;
SO, when they first began walk
ing together the effect was odd.
There was the "patter, patter,
patter," Of Mrs. McNabb's short
PAGES, with the heavy 44hulnp"
of her husbands footsteps COM
ing i'll at intervals, and tiac eff
feet was simply ridiculous. at
first the conversation between
them was this way:
"Oh, Augustus, dear please
do take a little shorter steps,
"Why, Angelina, I'm waiE-
ing as usual; can't you step
little longer, darling2''
But lse dida't take shor4e r
steps nor she longer ones, be-
it was q practical iSnpos-
sibigity IN eitlaeU case aad after
a 4nonth or two conversation
ran more interestingly.
"Augustus, don't take s5r3h
long strides. ] am not q 2gi-
antess-" )"
"Ne, evidently, you're less
like a giantess than beetls.-
Do you suppose / can Pu'tter
aIong to keep teme witie your
six inch hops? Nonsense! >
At the ,cnd of the first dalf
year the Two never went out
without a quarrel Shed break

enough TO force p man to liter
ally carry yoa, without insult
ing himI You'll die of inani-
ton yet, and next time I'll mar
nv a woman witll more legs and
less tonguel This things an
internal nuisance!"
And then they gave up walk
ing together for a year or more.
Finally as neeessity sometimes
compelled them to go out to-
gether, it was arranged between
them that in walking he should
keep time with every third step
Of hers, and the plan works, af-
ter a fashion. AS they go along
the sidewalk the sound is "pat-
ter, patter, ,thump!" "patter, pat
ter, thump!' and it's funny. =
Il'he only difficulty about the
device is that three of her steps
fall a fraction short of one of
his, and every other minute she
has 10 wrigg'le and hop or he
has to halt and stumble 10 al
low hcr 10 catch up. They are
an unhappy couple, and all be-
cause the distances from their
bodies TO the ground vary so
muck.

D salh in q Gaming House.

A curious story comes from
Paris, 1t is not SO very long since
a young man well dressed, and
apparently rich, entered clan
destine gaming house. He was
playing at trente et-quarante, and
had already won little pile Of
gold. Cred Wins" presently said
the banker, and proceeded to
hand over a hundred 'napoleons
to the unknown one, for the
stakes were high. But the
stranger made mo attempt to take
the gold, and returned no answer
to three or four questions put to
him in reference to the game.
His eyes remained fixed on the
red, while bis features assumed
CHASTITY paleness. A player
touched his arm--he was dead,
Then the banker withdrew the
hundred napoleons, observing that
the play WAS in the nature of q
reciprocal contract, which could
only be entered into between par,
ties both of whom were capable
of contracting, and therefore never
between q, live man and a dead
one. The cause of death vas
heart disease, and the official re-
port was soon drawn up in prop
er form. 1t contained no SORT of
reference TO a-gaming house. r--

An Illinois farmer says: "My
cattle follow me until / leave the
lot, and on the way up to the barn
yard in the evening, stop and
call for a lock of hay" Brown
says there is nothing at all re-
markable about that. He went
into a barn-yard in the country
one day last week, where he had
not the slightest Acquaintance
with the cattle, and an old bull
not only followed him until he
left the lot, but took the gate off
the hinges, and raced with him
to the house in the most familiar
way possible. Brown says be
has no doubt that tt e old fellow
would have called for something
if he had waited a little while,
but be didn't want the folks wait

pants on the bulls horns and
