Rr;aa, Tourist. Al the cap1tol

This was double-breasted set of bridal
tourists that wandered through the
capitol Yesterday. The brides were twin
blondes, with beautiful faces and figures
alike, and the sealskin sacques and caps
and satin dresses We're exact copies Of
each other. They were decidedly citifed,
and wore gold-rinmed eye glasses, had a
cultivated ballroom walk, and i'll city
parlor would be taken for bellies de-
cidedly handsome. stylish and intellect
ually refined. They came from the
backwoods Of Clinton county. But
the grooms were spectacles to
behold. Gawkish, yawkish, bawkish
in speech and stride, and every move
ment showed they had been raised in the
neighborhood of Il thousand miles from
civilization, and they were taking their
first trip on a city horse car. Pants that
showed the red tops of their stockings,
and coats that fitted them too quick at
the neck, and at the back there was room
enough to stuff feather pillows inside,
were the first striking indications to lead
an observer to inquire where they were
found, and what in heavens name were
such beautiful women about when they
consented to cook beefsteak and
waf1les for life for such mis1natched
husbands. Their vests had fat,
shiny brass buttons down in front, and they
each fumbled with them as if reciting erich
man, poor,nan. beggar man." ETC., to them
selves. No doubt they were honest aud
would make good husbands. This was
depicted on their faces several inches
wide. Their pretty wives did not seem
to notice them, and they followed on be-
hind as if this was their place. But in the
party was fifth person. He was doctor
accompanying the bridal tourists unpro-
fessionally; but it was said he wanted to
be on hand for medical service should the
groom be scared to death at city sights.
1t was rare bridal combination. The
twin wives were 50 much alike that it ap-
peared impossible to tell them apart. They
could pick out the ir husbands in the dark,
however s'Gosh darned pretty big build

ance within, and an honor to our state"
This was too much for Joseph, and he
bawled, out s'Let's go to the hotel; Pm

can see is stone yard from beginning to

from their twin wives would turn butter
