Brain, as it Were.
Our young friend of the Intelligent
Ger is studying short hand. He has
also lately been practicing with both
hands at the same time. He is an
ambldexter, and a bold, bad one at
that. When there is a rush of work
at the office, and the devil is shouting
"coppee" like a fiend incarnate, this
useful reporter sits down at his desk
IN full company front, and, with a
pencil in each hand, slings off local
happenings by the yard. He writes
on two sheets at once, and don't let
his right hand know what his left
hand is driving at; but it's driving
all the same.
Yesterday he got a little off his
mental base, and attempted to write
up a dog fight and a wedding in high
lie at the same time. He got things
mixed. His hands ran clear away
with the gray matter in his skull, and
things became terribly confused.
This is the way his items telescoped
each other:
At - church, last night, the
nuptials Of Mr.. -- and Miss
- we're celebrated in most mag
nificent style. A costly floral horse
shoe being directly over the altar,
and when the yellow cur saw the
flames of anger darling from the eyes
of the brindle fyste he opened with
the impressive strains Of the wedding
march. As the handsome couple
walked down the aisle the excited
crowd began to get frantic, and there
were yells of "Sick 'em, Ball; !"
Sat him now, Towser,'' as the spec
tators became interested in the fight.
The bride vas elegantly alfred IN
pure white garments of the most
costly fabrics, and she wore the ira
ditional white veil and wreath of
orange blossoms had him by the neck
and his tongue began to loll out and
his eyes to turn somersaults as if in
the customary black dress suit, white
gloves, ears cropped close to his head.
He was 4 disreputable looking dog
in the beginning, and ought to have
been whipped for being so homely.
He is of good family and is engaged
in one Of the most extensive manu-
featuring enterprises in the West.
But the yellow cur seemed to be get
ting the advantage, as he had now
succeeded in getting a death grip on
the throat of the big brindle, and
when he tenderly kissed the bride ac-
cording to the ancient custom his
back was covered with mud and his
Off hind leg was terribly chewed up.
Among the costly presents, received
by the happy pair were q fine grand
piano from the father of the bride

and one eye seemed to have been
struck with All augur. After 4 short
bridal tour the happy pair will settle
down to II of the hardest fought
battles the reporter has yet Witness

dog had been punished worst. The
