4 Private Room

4 writer in New York saws | am re-
minded, by the announcement; that some Of
our clubs will have their rooms in the
hotels at COney Island this year,-as they
did last,-Of an amusing incident in that
connection. Some of the windows in one
of these club rooms gaze on their private
veranda and some on the public one, and
few of the members dining there one after
noon were much annoyed by people pass
ing through. One big, burly fellow twice
offended in this way, although warned that
il was private room. Seeing him enter
third time. one of the members, who
answers to poor Pillicoddy's description OF
himself, being .'small but desperate, dinin-
utive but determined" rose and barred his
way.
..YOu go out the way you came in, said
he.
The man, with a swagger, ''wOuld see il
he would"
The gentleman forced him back, the
rough's friends took his part, other mem
bers of the club Joined in, and in fewer
minutes than are required to read it, the in
truder had made parabOlic flight through
the air and landed in a promiscuOus leap
on the veranda- He picked himself up and
approached his adversary, his countenance
expressing rather a species of surprised
curiosity than ungovernable chOler.
'.ls this realty private room = asked
he, in tones quite unlike his former ones
'.Yes, and you'll find it out, was the
vigorous reply.
In place of an explosion of wrath there
came from the lately truculent intruder the
words:

CAPTURING "a Cocktail.

"a relic of old decency' in the form of a
dilapidated specimen of humanity, with a
vari-colored nose, walked into Montgom-
cry street saloon one evening, and jauntily
waltzed over to the lunch counter, remark
ing to the barkeeper, en- lOdssant, '.Mix me
a stiff cocktail, please, and proceeded to
lop off section of corned beef as large as
basalt block, and covertly dumped about
half pound of crackers through hole in
the lining of his coat The cocktail being
ready, the customer lcisurely swallowed it,
and taking the measure of the cocktail dis
penser through the bottom of the glass,
asked:
''Has 'Goosey' been around here to-
night r.
b. X. replied that he had not the honor
OF that individuals acquaintance.
''What don't know Goosey. Why he
hangs around here every night. You must
know him. He walks in this way"
He walked towards the door initiating
the waddle Of goose. Having reached
the entrance he vanished into space. When
the barkeeper recovered from the paralytic
stroke of astonishment, he prescribed for
himself three fingers of "Old Bluegrass, j"
charged two drinks on customers card,
and fell to morslizing on the advisability OF
mounting small howitzer somewhere with
in range of the front door.

W edding Gifts.

In different countries are different modes.
The penny weddings in Scotland are pecu-
liar. Invited guests make contributions in
money tOue shilling is the general tribute,
and half crown is princely offering.D
Out of the sum thus collected the not-very-
costly expenses of the feast were paid. and
the surplus went toward buying the furni-
ture
In the wedding of the poorer classes in
Ireland this levying contributions on guests
never takes place; for. however poor Paddy
may be, his pride revolts from the appear
ance of poverty on such an occasion. There
Is collection, however, 10 raise sum for
literally cOmpensating the clerical gentle
man who ''has tied the knot, and in the
house Of rich farmer this swells up TO a
good round sum.
In Wales, among the small farmers and
traders, the custom prevails to this day Of
bidding" not single guests, but whole
families, to a wedding That such an event
is to come off, with the where and when, is
duly advertised in the local newspapers.
with request that all persons who, in time
past, have been similarly obliged in that
manner, will attend, bringing presents for
the bride and bridegroom. Besides this,
particular and almost peremptOry invita-
tons in writing are sent to each household
on whom the to-be-wedded folks may have
some especial claim for former generosity
under like circumstances. Presents Of all
sorts-food, furniture, flour, fuel, table and
chamber linen, even sheep, lambs. calves,
goats and ponies-are among the gifts.
In Germany there is the ''pay wedding
al which the bride receives her guests with
basin before her, each person depositing
jewel, silver spoon or piece of money, at
the same time apOlOgizing for the donation
being so far below value, compared with
the damsel's deserts. In some parts of Ger
many the rule is that the expenses of the
marriage feast shall be met by each guest
paying for what he eats and drinks, Just as
if he were in hotel, but not al fair hotel
prices. Thus the entertainment sometimes
extends over several days, and the young
couple often realize sum out of the profits
sufficient TO start them fairly in life. From
one to three hundred guests are often pres
eut throughout these festivals.
Sometimes the flow of presents takes a
very different course. In Poland, a lady

edness until she has wrought with her own
hands cloth and garments for each Of her
future lords friends (grOOmsmen) accom-
panying him to the altar.
In Norway. the clergyman has to be pro
pitiated with two or three bladders OF
mince- meat, made by the hand of the bride
and a bottle or two of brandy. In that
country most presents made on wedding
occasions take the tangible form of larder
supplies-at least, among IKE peasantry and
artisans.
In most countries, at the present time,
wedding presents may be said to abounCs
This system of inviting people to a bridal
reception and expecting them to make
valuable present has become a serious tax,
and, though much money is thus expended,
the result is generally not quite satisfac-
tory.

at the painting creature, whom he was

how she took it.
The dovc-like expression of her eve was

Of contempt and disgust from that lovely

An Auction Joke.

Mr.. Waite is a novel husband-that
is to say, in good many respects. He
neither drinks, smokes, nor chews,
stays home at evenings, never CANDLES
and gives his wife all the money that
she wants.
1t is sand that all men have some lido
syncracy or hobby. Mr.. Waite has his.
1t is deep rooted mania for attending
auction sales and buying articles of
every description, Ia Toodles. with
ont regard as to whether they Will ever
be of any practical use to him. As
long as he gets them at bargain he is
satisfied.
y good joke about this popularity of
his was related the other evening
by a friend of his. Mr.. Waite went to
an auction sale of a dealer in sporting
goods, where he bought two hundred
dumb bells at twenty cents a pair, and
carried them home in triumph. He
stored them in cellar where they re-
mained for six months or more.
Mrs. W. got tired of seeing them oc-
cupy so much space, as she wanted the
cellar for some purpose of her own.
SO, imagining that her husband had
forgotten all about his novel acquisition
she sold the dumb bells for a mere song
to an auctioneer. That evening Mr..
Waite returned home with hand cart.
His face was flushed but triumphant.
"What have you got in the cart,
dear 2" asked Mrs. W.
''Dumb bells, darling,
WHAT
dumb bells. Bought two hundred
pairs at thirty cents pair. Paid more
for them than the others l got, but you
know it will never do to let the price of
dumb be lis drop.
Mrs Waite took one look at the ar
ticles. Her worst fears were realized.
They were the same dumb bells that
she had sold in the morning. Mr..
Waite had chanced to be in attendance
at the sale where they had been offered
and had bought them in at third ad-
vance ever the price which he had at
rst raid.

One Free Man In Italy.

Here is a good story of the late King of
Italy, "Il re GalantuomO,n rs his subjects
liked to call him; ''Going to the theatre
one night in gray coat, the King observed
that the daughter of the Emperor of Rus
sia and the Princess Margherita were in the
house. He must pay visit to the foreign
Princess, and it was too late to return 10
the Quirinal to change his dress. Il am all
black but the coat, he said to his aiten-
dants: IF some one would lend me a
coat" He espied young marquis, one of
his aides-de-camp, near and sent for him.
The coat was quickly exchanged, but a
white tie was still wanting. The marquis
offered his; but Victor Emmanuel, seeing
one of his servants at the door of his box
with a fresher one, walked up to him and
silently took Off his tie and fastened it on
himself, then brushing his hair at the glass
he said, DO look King of Italyi' This
familiarity, in which he occasionally in
dulged, did not involve loss Of dignity,
for he knew how to check any undue pre-
sumption. Once a Roman noble, whose
sympathies were rather with the old re-
gin,e than the new, said: Il wonder Your
Majesty drives in the Corso; we Roman
princes do not go, And we, King of
Italy, 60, replied Victor Emmanuel, with
a stately dignity which he could assume
when occasion required
