The Fond du Lac Journal tells the
following story at the expense of certain
Milwaukee parties: About twenty
years ago occurred a wedding IN this
city, upon grand scale. In the course
OF the evening a guest suggested
that one of the wedding cakes be
sealed IN tin box and kept until the
marriage Of the bride and groom's first
born. One of the most delicious cakes
was selected and sent to tin shop, with
the proper instructions. As may be sup
posed, the timers yearned for that cake,
and soon it was divided and found its
way to their stomachs. The tin box,
which had been prepared for its recep-
ton, was then filed with water-soaked
ashes, carefully sealed and sent to the
blushing Young couple, who, remember
ing what was expected of them and
their prospective offspring, took it ten
derby in charge, and have since guarded
it well. In course Of time, son was
born to them, who is now 10 years old,
and, it is said, will ere long be married.
1t will be an amusing sight when that
box is solemnly brought before the
guests, its little romance related, and
the seal of years broken in the presence
of the company. The CONSERVATION may
well be imagined when he or the can
opener suddenly drops his instrument
and exclaims, with the disappointed
lover in "Hazel kirke," Nothing but
ashesw The prrties reside in Milwau
kee, and are doubtless remembered By
many citizens Of Fond'du Lac.

An Old Story in It's Original Form

ACircarssian legend is that man was
walking along one road, and a woman
along another. The roads finally united,
and the man and woman, reaching the
junction at the same time, marched on
from there together. The man was car
rying large iron kettle on his back; in
one hand he held by the legs a live chick
en-, in the other cane, and he was lead
ing goat Just as they were coming to
a deep, dark ravine the woman said to
the man:
Il am afraid to go through that ravine
with you; it is lonely place and you
might overpower me and kiss me by
force"
IF you were afraid of that said the
man, ''you shouldn't have talked with
me at all. How can ! possibly over
power and kiss you by force when |
have this great iron kettle on my back,
and cane in one hand and a live
chicken in the other, and am leading
this goat? | might as well be tied hand
and foot"
Eyes," replied the woman; "but il
you should stick your cane into the
ground and tie the goat to it, and turn
the kettle bottom side up and put the
chicken under it, then you might wick
eddy kiss me in spite Of my resistance
Success to thy ingenuity, oh, wo
man!p said the rejoicing man to himself
E"I should never have thought Of this ex
pedient."
And when he came to the rayine ht
stuck his came into the ground and tie(
the goat to it, gave the chicken to the
woman, saying "Hold it while | cut
some grass for the goat" and then, low
ing the kettle from his shoulders, i'm
prisoned the fowl under it, and wicked
| ly kissed the woman, as she was afraiC
he would.
