A Serious Wedding joke.

There was triple wedding III Jest in
l1aveta, Colorado, week or two since.
The parties were II. d. Nc Holland.
Deputy Sheriff of Huerfano county: e. A.
Palmer, agent of the Denver and Rio
drandc railroad, and another gentleman
whose name was not printed, but he is u
sawyer and has big sawmill somewhere.
The young ladies We're Kate Lewis, Addie
Patterson and Laura Paterson of Laveta,
Tho gentlemen were visiting tho ladies and
running out Of small talk one OF them pro-
posed to the three giddy girls to have mar
riagc ccremonics-in fun, of course. They
thought it would be splendid, and paired
OH accordingly. a messenger was sent for
third party to help carry out the Jolly
game-and all went merry till he came.
lie was W. A, Toffelmire, very innocent
looking man in appearance. Flo was told
what was wanted, and nothing 10th, he

ceremonies were over ono Of the girls said
1t was tie jollicst joke she ever saw played.
"Jokc," said Toifelmire, ''lts no Joke. I'm
a Justice of tho Peace, and you're all fast
marricdr' Then there was chorus OF
screams and faints. The girls had never
dreamed Of getting married in earnest. The
gentle men, it1tppears, did, and they played
it finely. They had hoodwinked tho girls
with merriment. What Was t,2. be done.
The first thing to do was to get tlis gentle
men of the party out Of that house and
thoy went without further ceremony than
pressing invitation 20 leave given by. the
old folks who lived there and did, ut know
what was going on in the parlor. The
three men went to their respective homes
crcstfallcn. 1t was not half 40 funny as
they anticipated, for they imagined tho
girls would give in when they found out
how they had been married by stealth.
Divorce is the only remedy that can be ap-
piled unless they finally conclude to stick,
and one at least ought to stick out Of three
One of the girls is said to be engaged to a
young man who Is digging pile Of gold
for her At San Juan, and the affair Is
little bit 'srough' on her and her bctrothed
miner The others might make virtue

"A LuCkless Trnrliu.

Some time ago tramp got into tho fro.
box of stationary engine that was being
shipped Oh flat car to the Pacific coast
from Denver. BY some freak of misfortune
to him careful brakeman closed the fur
mace door on him, and the solitary picnick-
er was alone with his conscience and a few
friends that had come along to represent
the National Bug Bureau.
AT first he thought it was joke, and he
laughed smothcrcd hystcrical laugh, but
as the hours dragged on and he didn't know
whether it was day or night or whether it
was the Fourth of July or eternity, he con-
cludcd to attract the attention of the out
side world, SO he pounded on the inside of
his cage till his arms ached. He might as
well have tried to get out of fire anu
burglar proof safe with corkscrew.
Ono day, through curiosity, railroad
boy opened the door Of the engine furnace
and looked in. The broad sole of an old
boot was turned up at the door, and the
brakeman took hold of 1t and snatchcd II
out 1t was followed by an attenuatcd
piece OF humanity that ratified around on
the car like an old umbrella.
The bystanders reviewed him and asked
him If he didn't feel hungry. lie said he
did feel kind of goneness in the gastric
regions.
An old man, who was then acting treas
ireI of the Irish Relief fund, took the lot
OF filling him up. That is the reason why
Ireland missed tho beneficial effects of the
relief fund for several months, at q time
when sho needed it worst.

DO Cows Drink I.aHer9

The pleasure OF party of gentlemen
who went on picnic excursion few days
ago, was seriously marrcd by the repre-
hensible conduct of a COW, which came up
behind the tent while most of the party
were off in boat to catch fish for chow
der, and tho rest were asleep, and not only
alto up half-tushel Of potatoes that had
been peeled and sliced IN readiness for the
pan, but opened box and drank seven
bottlce of lager-all that remained OF a
case. AT least that was the story told the
fisherman when they returned, by tho stay
at home portion Of the party. There was
quite an animated discussion as to whether
or not a COW would be likely to stopper
lager beer bottles up and return them to

finally decided that cow which woult,
take bottles out OF case and open them
would not be very likely 10 cork up and re.

and brought him up as we'll as she could,
Whenever he did we'll she praised him, but
whenever he did anything she thought
wrong, for instance playing marbles on
Sunday, stealing apples from their neigh

kettles to the cats tail, she used to call
out:
"Yon Peter, stop that" in peculiarly
shrill tono.
Immediately another voice, sharper
and shriller than hers, would cry out:

There stood in meadow grasses aukle- leep.
One who awakened from her maiden sloep,
And wakn Il, turned to me with smile divine,
Aud blnshing. let her hand clasp close to mine
In Summer.
Aud all the golden sunlight rained It's gold
on treasea bright as any ray they hold
And all the fervent splenior Of the day
Wore fairer splendor than in sky and ray
or Summer.
For what is earth il love be not our dsy1

An !, staying, seal our hearts in dreamle 10 resti
And resting thus who dream and IL not bios
In Summer
