clerk the other day.
How can you tell whether they are
newly married or not?" inquired the Sim
reporter, to whom this remark was ad
dressed.
"Tel them ?" calculated the clerk "I
can pick them out as easily ns if they
carried signs, we are just married."
Yes; but how?"

such il the feet. One of the signs of a
newly-married couple is their spick and
span new clothes. Somehow, when pco-
pie get married, they generally get as
many new clothes as possible. The bride
anu groom have new hats and new trunks
and new busters. Then, again. they
spend money more freely. When man
is in his honeymoon lie generally feels rs
II he ought to be generous. He has II
grateful sort OF spirit, and throws his
money around as if he wanted to show
that the world had used him we'll. He
has put by his money for the occasion,
and is not afraid to spend it. He is spe-
ciaily anxious that the bride shall eat
and drink of the best. He must have n

Il should-well, yes The husband
does not run off to the bar-room or the
billiard room, as the old married men do.
When the old married couple arrive you
may be certain that the first thing the
husband does is to take drink or lounge
about the billiard tables, telling his wife
that he has some business to attend to-"
Are newly-married people baahful ?"
That depends. The wdowers and
widows don't mind it, but the young peo-
pie are little coy. At Niagara Falls

TO look as if they had not been married

The men were specially watchiu lest
somebody should be ogling the brides.
One day Thought We should have fight
in the dining room. A strapping big
fellow from the West in n new suit Of
store clothes sat down to the table with
his bride, buxom brown-cyed beauty.
She looked so fresh and rosy that she
could not but attract attention, and she
got it. Every gentleman in the room
took more than one look at her, and she
knew it. OF course, she did not object.
But the man began to get angry. lie
did not like to speak to the bride about
it, because she was evidently not dis
pleased Finally he got up and walked
to the nearest gentleman whom he had
observed and said:

(Which do you think take to the new
