A LIVING SKELETONS LOVE.
4 Museum Curiosity WEEDS a
Beautiful Philadelphia Girl.

Ever since } ID. Garrison. the skel-
eton man, has been exhibiting his
pipe-stem arms and legs before Phila
delphia audiences it has been noticed
that one of the regular visitors t, the
museum was a young woman with
rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes and a
Gainshorough hat. She would have at
tracted no attention probably hal she
not invariably ignored ali the other
attractions and walked directly over
to where the skeleton sat on a high
platform. There she would stand aud
gaze on him and through him with
love-iit eyes from | O'Clock until ).
and nothing seemed TO please her
more than TO hear perp'e make re-
marks about the thinnesS nf Mr.. Cur
rison'S arms and the total absence III
an thing like calves Oh his legs. As
to the living skeleton himself. his
boae intrenchei heart bObbed wildly
against the wall Of his ribs around it
every time tn young woman appear
ed at the head of the stairs. Did she
out look at the lightning calculator,
or nod to poor little Maj. Tot, all
day would the animated attenuation
sit gloomy and mOrOse. He was jral-
Gus skeleton, and would brook not the
slightest interference between him self
and The woman of his choice Mr..
Garrison only weighed fifty-fve
pounds, so it was impossible for him
to call on his lady love at ker home
like other lovers, because. as he ex-
planned himself he was afraid of get
ting lost In the corner of a srteet-car
or being mistaken for a wandering
billiard cue. So the young lady made
an innovation in the regular mode by
calling to see her lover at his home.
On the night of January 2 Miss
Bertha Clear, called. as usual, after
l o'clock. She seemed radiantly beau
tiful to the skeleton on that evening,
and as he looked at her he could feel
every fiber in his osseous organization
tinglIng with pride and joy. Drawing
the lovely girl to him, he wrapped his
left arm around her neck and asked
her to be his. The young lady looked
up into his face and shyly smi ed. She
sought To disengage the arm that en-
circled her throat So lovingly, but the
skeleton wouldn't have it. No, said
be firmly, BERTHE, l love you with all
my heart and soul. 1t was arranged
that the marriage should take place
