Yesterday, IN coming up the road, |
witnessed Il scene which to Il estates
man" could not but have a melancholy,
though romantic aspect. There was a
bridal couple aboard the train He was
a pleasant, intelligent appearing young
man, With evidence Of a farm training,
and tair education She was as fair us

in the tabled field of evidently far supc-
rior training to her sturdy cOnSOrt, She
was one of the l0Vellest and brightest and

raj hills.
The brakeman hoars, " called ''Four-
teenth Siding' There was not Il build-
ing in sight save the One-rOOmed Sin by
ten shanty barracoon of the sWitchman,
and the eye lost itself trying to fathom
the dreary beyond. This was the stop
ping place for the bride and her groom.
He was taking her to his new home, 50
miles back on the plains; but there was
no one to meet them lis expected, and the
thread-liIlc trail disappeared over the
| horizon, five miles away, with no sign of
! greeting team. 1t seemed like a dark
revelation to the poor girl it was the first
test of devotion to her husband and Il
severe one. On being lifted down from
the ear steps, She gazed around in the ut
most dismay then, with a quick beseech-
| ing glance into the young mans face,
down which sympathetic tears We're
streaming, despite lis evidently brave res
olutions, the bride Of the plains sank into
his arms and sobbed aloud The scene told
| its own melancholy story, and visibly at

who had crowded to the platforms, as
usual upon all occasions of leaving pas
senger upon a siding. Let us hope that
the messengers from that tar-away home
finally reached ''Fourteenth Siding" and
that the husbands love may soon be al
all sufficient solaco for that city-bred
bride SO suddenly transported to the tree

There can be no question that appearances were

with the fact that New York girl has
just paid $3.50 for a yellow yachting dress
embroidered in red, white and blue, with
designs representing marine scenes. On
the front of the skirt is a sailing ship; on
the corners of the overskirt, sailors climb
ing masts and unfurling flags; on the
drapery lifeboat fully manned; on the
sleeves and ribbons, masts and flags; and
on the pearl buttons sunset scenes. When

Growing in the meadows here and there,

writes correspondent of the Burlington
Hawkeye, there is a ''sweet hay" that
would startle western hay field The
perfume it eXhales is very sweet and very
lasting. Little ornaments and work bask-
cts are woven from it, and it retains its
sweet perfume for years tits a perfume
not altogether unlike, although much
sweeter than sweet-cloyer, but grows in
much sweeter places. 1t minglcs with
the homelikc odor of the new mown hay !;
while YOU smell it you can hear the CHEEKY
song Of the mowers and now and then the

is smell of brine, too, in the breeze that
steals in from the sea and a scent Of pine
that it catches from the hill.
