| WHAT COLONEL NAT. SAID.
Colonel Nat. Claiborne was leaning up
| against the Lac!edc- Hotel counter last eve
ming looking very pensive.
"Weu," said he, in broken tones to the
reporter, "my brother Bob has jumped the
broomslick. He's married to the prettiest
Gal in Missouri. I knew he'd amount TO
! something, because he's got the ability. 1t
almost broke my ncart when he took to
drinking buttermllk; but can see now II
was all for the best. When Bob went to
Jefferson City last winter | was afraid he
might Cct in trouble aSsociating with such
friSkv fellows as Lakenan. Hudson, Walker,
| Morrison, and those other senators, and
am truly thankful that he avoided all
temptation and found what is better than
| fame and fortune-a true, noble Wife"
| III had five hundred dollars to-night.'
remarked Colonel Nat, after n slight pause,
Il would hire twenty hacks and Il band Of
music and 90 out sercnading. ] feel so
calmly happy thut don't know what to
do

| have led life OF chronic and unbroken
| celibacy. People used TO tell me that I
| ought TO &c: married. bat / never would
! follow their advice. never really suffered
the pancs OF love till J. met my present wife.
| The very frs; time | saw her my heart
bounced up in my epelottis like piece OF
popcorn. II was Il case Of love at sight.
| No man knows what it is to be married till
he : married. | was Iii Tue Dallic OF yet
ltysburg from beginning to end. and stood
IN on the heights with the bullets and
bombshclls combing my hair in every dircc-
ton. but never WINGED or tinched
Bit. But when / got up in front Of the par
son to-day. with the brides soft hand in
mime, and with all the women folks looking
at me. l felt that l had stuck about gross
OF Gettyburgs all boiled down into one.
GUESS I must have sweat about five gal
Ions. At first thought I was going to
have another one Of those blamed chllls.
and then thought was burning up with
fever. My voice was 20 husky that when
the parson asked me il ] would love and
cherish the bride, said Amen instead OF
suyin. what ] ought 10 say. | was terribly
frustrated. 1t was the most embarrassing
fix ever was in. The cold chiliS went all
I'D and down my back, and ] know my
wEite ncck-tlc got skcwrd around under
my ear. When was appointed chairman
OF the Senate Pcnitentiary COMMITTEE |
