AT recent wedding in Jeffersonville,
Inc, the best man was IN such haste to
transfer the minister's fee that the
"Amen" of the benediction had scarcely
been pronounced when, with great
parade, he handed over the customary
gold double eagle. The minister quietly
remarked: "rhe terms of this contract
are evidently G. O. D."
AT one of the weddings last week the
bride had fit of sneezipg during the
most solemn and impressive part of the
ceremony, which caused the officiating
clergyman to pause and CONSIDERABLY
wait until she had finished. She sDeezed
eleven times and was SO mad about it
that It spoiled the enjoyment of the oc-
casion for her.-BostoN Post.
FASHIONABLE Newport is amused over
the discontinue of a brainless young
Crmsus, who presented to one of his
society bellies rare and royal pair Of
well, in common parlance, ''garters.
They were SO handsome with their Jewels
and precious metals that the young lady
refused to return them when she refused
an offer of her admirers hand
A YOUNG lady In one of our rural dis
tricts was escorted home from an even
ing party, not long since, by young
man to whom she was not particularly
partial. On taking leave he remarked,

next Sunday night" ''Well, Jim, re-
Piled the lady, ''you can come as
friend, but not as feller." Report says
that Jim did not go either way.
ONE day last week thirteen married
couples on their wedding tours stood to-
gether in silence before the tomb Of
Washington at Mount Vernon, and
every pair seemed to be utterly oblivi-
GUS of the presence of the rest. This de-
corous assemblage would probably have
dispersed without giving utterance to an
audible sound except for a slender young
bride, with merry face, who at last
took Id the humor of the situation and
laughed aloud. Then one after another
they took up the line of march for the
! house.
A BOSTON man declares that he never
can stay in New York more than day
or two. They eat their peas with a
spoon instead of fork. which is as bad
as eating them with knife; when you
call for "brown bread they bring you
graham bread, and when they are finally
made to understand they take a loaf
from the front window, where it has
stood at least SIX months; while the vile
compounds known as "baked beans"
bring the tears to his eyes. Then they
don't wear gloves; say half, caff, laff, in
stead of hahff. cahff, lahf, toir for turn,
foist for hrst, choich for church, and
commit various enormities which he
hasn't time to remember. SO on the
second day, he generally takes the first
! train home.
A Remarkable Operation.
