Gratifying to the Bridegroom

Lewiston ournal-
The habit OF half reading anything
may be dangerous, especially if one
proposes TO act on the information
thus gained, but it is seldom that SO
unfortunate an accident occurs as one
reported by the Phillips Phonograph.
That paper was once guilty oil the
blunder of inserting marriage notice
in the space allotted to the deaths.
A careless Spiritnalist medium in look
ing over the obituary notices for a
list of spirits who should appear at
the next seance hit upon the name of
this particular lady, Mrs. 0ctavia c.
Russell or Phillips. A few days later
the bride was astonished to see in a
Spiritualist paper that shehad electri
fed Boston audience by appearing
to them, though with a condition
arising from earth still clinging to her"
and announcing that she had safely
reached home, and met with kind
faces and loving welcome. and will be
perhaps not only helpful to herself,
but also to the friends who remain on
earth" This report was no doubt
gratifying to the bridegroom, but how

The Power of RidicuIe.


Ridicule is a strong weapon. You
can ridicule a mans arguments, and,
as the lawyers say, '1auyh them out
of court" when you can not answer
them. You can also ridicule a mans
position and drive him mad when he
is trying to abuse you.
To show you how you can always
ridicule man, when you cannot an

Among the passengers who rushed
in from the train to get twenty min
utes dinner was fault-finding gentle
man, who, as usual, had made up his
mind to say something unpleasant
when he cam1 to pay for his meal.
He was growing when he went in and
he growled all the while he was eating,
and when he slouched up to the desk
to paw his seventy-fve cents he broke

"But We have no sandwiches on the

"You haven't? Well, should like

The traveller rushed into the car

FRIGHTENED to Death.

NEWARK, N. j.. March. 25.-The
daughter OF Henry Richards, a farmer
living between Railway and Plain
field, hear small settlement call, d
Oak Trec,is lying at the point of death
in const quence of an effort which was
made to make her leform her way
ward disposition. The girl who is be-
tween ii and Is years of age, aud
quite well matured for her years, has
been in the habit of going out in the
evenings with some of the farmers
sons, and was disposed not to heed the
counsel of her parents, who strongly
opposed such actions.
A FATHERS PLOT.
AS the girl seemed determined to
pursue her wild habits, a scheme was
concocted by her father and uncle
whereby it was believed that the glrl
would be taught such lesson as would
forever cure her of the p-oneness to
wander from home after dark. So
one evening a short time ago, after
satisfying themselves that the girl
was contemplating another meeting
with her companions, her father and
uncle lef the house ahead of her, and,
going down the country road, lay in
wait for her, Disgusting themselves so
as not to be recognized.
SEIZED AND CARRIED OFF.
They had not long TO wait before
they saw her coming toward them.
The time was just between daylight
and dark. When the girl had got
opposite the place where they were IN
hiding they both sprang at her, aud
sezlng her in their arms, carried her
off into the bushes at the side of the
road, neither of them speaking a wold.
The young girl had no doubt that she
was in the hands of rutiians who were
about to kill her The shock was so
great to her system that she was near
ly literally scared to DEATH" and be-
came unconscious at once.
THE rLoTTERs FRIGHTENED.
The father and his assistant then be-
came alarmed, and carrying her home,
resorted to every means to bring her
to realize that it was only a joke.
But the girls mind has seemed dazed
ever since, and the doctors state that
she will probably never recover.
Meanwhile the father and uncle are in
a state of dependency at the unlocked
for outcome of their attempt to correct
the evil ways of the girl. 1t is also re.
ported that the young fellows with
whom the girl had been in the habit
of going threaten to shoot the father
and uncle on sight if there should be a
fatal result.

Sunday in Mexico.

a correspondent cf the Pittsburg
Dispatch, writing from the city of
Mexico, says: a Sunday in Mexico
is one long feast of champagne, with
out ht adache the next day. When
the first streaks of dawn appear in the
east people bob out from this street
and that, hostelers hurry horses off to
private residences, gay riders whirl by
as it eager TO catch the shades of hight
as they are sinking in the west, and
by 6:30 it looks as if all Mexico was
on horseback. Ladies wear beautiful
costumes, dark habits, short skirts,
silver and gold buttons and broad
sombreros. Men display greater var
iety OF costumes some wear yellow
buckskin suits trimmed with gold and
silver, Others have a drab skin suit
ar,islically trimmed, still others wear
light cloth suits aud high boots, but
tened at the side, and reaching the
knee, A belt holding revolver, and
a Mexican saddle to which is fastened
a sword complete this beautiful riding
suit And then what riders 1t is
the poetry of motion they are as but
part OF the perfect horse they iide.
Take the beautiful horses, artistic out,
tit, grand eyes glancing at you from
beneath pretty sombrero and you
have a Mexican scene which is irresist-
lble. Even Americans are a thousand
times handsomer when they don this
outfit, and it is safe to wager that if
the men in the states would adopt the
Mexican riding suit there would not
be single man left after two
months trial.
