calls for water they stand him off as long as

Col. A. C. Dawes, the general passenger
agent of the Kansas City, st. Joseph and
Council Bluffs railroad, was married on
Wednesday morning to Miss Medora Cresap,
at the home of the latter, IN Nevada, Mo.
There is a rather pretty little romance In the
story of the wedding, as told by the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. 1t will no doubt prove in
t~srestlng to the gallant c%olonel's many Omaha
friends: "Col. Dawes is, as his friends know,
not a spring chicken by any means. Consider.
able of the fur has been rubbed eff thetop of his
head by the unfeeling hand of time, and the
bright, peacby complexion he boosted when
he left school has been railroaded
into something more rudy and rug
ged. But the ~colonel's heart
never lost its bloom or its susceptibility, and
when he visited Jefferson City last winter TO
see that the railroad corps in the democratic
legislature was attending to its duties that
organ palpitated whenever its owner came in
proximity with or thought of the haxen-
headed little daughter of Senator Cresap, OF
Nevada, Miss Cresap made her first impress
sion in the lobby Of the senate, and later led
the bewildered colonel through all the social
intricacies of the Imperial ciub and the uppe
crust of Jefferson City society. The result is
his marriage to the fair young lady. Both
parties are to be congratulated, the colonel on
his brides youth, beauty and riches, for she
has all three gifts, and the bride on her hus-
bands general worth, high position ard fine
character"

An officer OF a cremation company,
when asked by reporter for particu-
lars regarding the mode OF disposing
of the dead, said that from his obser-
vations cremation is destined at no dis

grave burials, because it has none of
their offensive features ..As now con-
Quoted at Gotha. Milan, and other
points Of Europe" he added. ''crema-

complishcd with no repu,sive sight,

down-for she was reader now, not I-hcr
eyes met mine in a searching sort of way,
with just the daybreak Of smile on her
face

"But now, doctorn-yoing lady's eyes

never be-"
'sYou think him too respectable, doctorp
why, miss" said I, ''you see he is more
than respectable; be is genteel. No, miss, :"
repeated, having turned the matter over,
she couldn't marry her."
"But would she marry himq'
''Why, Of course she would" answered.
Adding Immediately: Sand no blame toher.
The young woman has her prospects to con-
slider"
'.Not much consideration Of prospects in
what she has done just now"
t'You see, miss l said, mo doubt the
young woman laid great stress on her vacci-
nation. Not that want to cry her down.
But she had been used to play-acting. where
fine things are done-and, you see-in fact,
miss said, II don't believe in Miss Hard
ware And you will find-mark my words
when her virtues have been to the wash and
come home again, most Of the color will be
gone out Of them"
"Why, doctor, what cynic you are"
Nothing, miss, but an old man who has
been using two ears and two eyes matter of
nine and sixty years. Miss, believe me,

the better. Gray goodness was once green

did, and l was the man. He was q
horse that had traded forgot rid Of
a spawned, blind stagger nag that swsp
and he was an awful baker. There
wasn't no use doing anything with him
there was nothing to do but just sit
down and wait for him to come around.
1t generally took two hours. One day
l was driving him along and just as we
got onto the railroad track he baked.

Counting Twins.

A young man who was counting a
girl who had twin sister was terribly
imposed upon. She went out Of town
three weeks and employed her sister as
substitute in the sitting.up.at night
business during her absence. The young
man called five nights week, as usual,
and didn't leave until midnight, with.
out detecting the imposition. When he
learned Of the trick that had been play.
ed on him him he got mad and broke
off the engagement. The twins looked
as much alike as two capital P's and he
said that he might be fooled into mar.
rying the one he didn't love. 1t was
certainly narrow escape. though come
to think about it, we can't see what
difference it would have made as long
as ignorance was bliss and the twins
didn't object, Having young lady
twins in the house is rather a neat ar.
rangement. When young man is SO
infatuated that he calls seven nights q
week they can take turns, sitting up
with him and thus look fresh and wide.
awake every other evening alternately,
anyway. No sensible young man should
object to such an admirable healt h. pre-
serving scheme, either. --Dydke's Mar.
