How these massive stones were ever brought

we see the immense weights which men have
carried, il lessons our pity for the grumbing
coolies on whose shoulders our sedan chairs
are borne. The first building is little more
than an entrance to those beyond, but as we
go in we are confronted by an immense i'm

"Darn It."

They had terrible time at wedding up at
Petalume the ds,,er day, and which only goes
to show how the smallest drawback will some
times take the stitfening out of the swellest
occasion.
1t seems that the ceremony was very
grand affair, indeed. There were eight
bridesmaids, and the church was crowded
from pit to dome, as the dramatic critics
would say. But, when they got to the proper
place in the ceremony for the ring, he discov-
cred that it wasn't on hand. After the min
lister had scowled at the miserable wretch for
while the latter detected that the magic cir
clet had slipped through hole in his pocket
and worked down into his boot. He commun-
icated the terrible fact in a whisper to the
bride, who turned deadly pale, and was only

corsage in case she did.
"Why don't you produce the ring?" whis-
pered the brides big brother, hoarsely, and
feeling for his pistol, under the impression
that the miserable man was about to back
out.
Il can't. It's in my boot" explained the
groom under his breath, his very hair, mean
while, turning red with modification.
'Try and fish it out somehow-hurry up"
mumbled the minister behind his book.
''Ill try" gasped the victim, who was rath-
er stout and he put one foot on the chancel
rail, pulled up his twowsers leg, and began
making spasmodic jabs for the ring with his
forcfnger. The minister motioned to the
organist to sqeeze out few notes to fill in
the time, while rumor rapidly went through
the congregation to the effect that a telegram
had just arrived proving that the groom had
four wives living in the East already.
"I-I can't reach it," groansd the half
married man in agony. at won't come"
''Sit down and take your boot off, you
fool!' Kissed the brides mother. while the
bride herself moaned piteously and wrung h,r
powdered hands.
There was nothing left, the sufferer sat
down on the floor and began to wrestle with
his boot which was new and Tight. while fresh
rumor got under way to the affect that the
groom was beastly tight and insisted on par
ing his corns.
AS the boot came finally of its crushed
wearer endeavored unsuccessfully, to hide a
trade dollar hole in the heel of his stocking:
noticing which. the parson, who was hum
orous sort of sky-contractor, said, grimly:
''You seem to be getting married Just in

proceeded with the party of the first part
standing on one leg trying to hide his we'll
ventilated foot under the tail Of his coat, and
appropriately mutteriny "Darn it," at short
intervals. - Derrick Dodd. San Francisco

in civilized fashion. At first he opposed
dining at table very vigorously, but he
soon grasped the idea that, if he did as his

with lump of sugar, and. after that, he be-
