A TOueM srORY.
a Smokers Bitter Experience with
q Blizzard.

A smokers Bitter Experience with
. Blizzard.
One Of the coolest days recently
pedestrians on Clark street started in
amszement at q big man who
shufied along apparently nearly
vercom with heat. He carried an
enormous coon-skin coat on his arm,
his big fur cap was pushed back
from his forehead, his coat was I'M
buttoned, and the p~erspiration stood
in beads on his brow. He was look
ing anxiously at the stors.windowsa as
il in search Of something that he'd
got to have, and have right of.
Along about Washington street he
gave it up as Q bad job, and tackled
q shivering Chicagoan who was
| hidden in o fur collar and was trying
to keep from freezing to death.
Say, stranger he remarked
feebly, wiping his forehead with
the back of his hand, kin ye steer
me onter something coolin'-soda
water or sech like? I'm clean done
up with the heat"
The Chicsgoan was too much as
tonished to reply, and started blankly
at the speaker.
Whats the matter with this here
durn town, anyhow" continued the
big man, taking off his cap and un-
bottoning his vest. All the soda
water masneens is done up in tisshoo
paper, and burned il 1 kin find Sc

other man, "for the Lords sake,

"Gosh! is il hot as that?" said the
big man. hopping his face and NOV
ing into the shade.
"Where'd you come from, any
way?" asked the Chicago man in an
awed voice.
"Dakota-an' in the last blizzard

"Ob, 1 see," said the Chicagoan,

That's it, that's it," responded
the Dakota man, drawing himself up
with conscious pride. Why in the

A CARNIOLA
Curious Cerem Attending This
Festival Described.


Festival Described.
On the afternoon before the we'd
ding the bridegroom's friends fetch
the brides dowry from her fathers
house, and when doing so take every
thing they can lay their hands upon
to make 1t larger. AT times even
cattle have been driven away for
this purpose. but the whole matter
is generally considered and treated
as q Joke. On the following morn
ing they again assembled at the
b~ridegroom's house, and after they
have enjoyed a good lunch proceed
in a body to that Of the bride, where
her own acquaintances have been
similarly entertained. As soon as
the young men approach, the doors
are closed against them and an old
woman appears at one OF the win
dows and asks what they want.
The bridegroom demands his bride,
The old lady pretends not to know
her and he has to describe her in a
somewhat uncomplimentary way.
Other women and girls who partially
answer to his description are sent
ont, till at last his exactness compels
the garrison to surrender the right
one. The whole party now walk or
drive in procession to the church.
Most marriages take place in the
Winter, and at that season the
usual dress of all the men is a long
loose overcoat or cloak. Till very
lately custom compelled the bride
groom to don such q garment even
in summer, for the general belief is
that if the bride can manage to kneel
on any part of it during the cere-
mony she will bear rule in her new
home, and not to have given her a
chance of doing so would of course
have been defrauding her of her nat
ural rights. Many other supersti-
tions are connected with the service.
Thus, if the bride weeps, it is con-
sidered a good omen if the candles
on the altar flicker, it is a bad one
for the harmony of the marriage.
The ceremony is hardly over before
the festivities begin anew. In some
parts of Carinthia wine is brought
into the church and blessed by the
priest, who drinks the first glass to
the brides health, but in Carniola
the party leaves the church before
beginning its ~carousals. The delay
however. is not long. as custom in
sists that a pause shall be made at
every inn that is passed On the road.
During the whole afternoon the
great object of the unmarried young
men of the village is TO capture the
bride. If she can be lured out of
the bridegroom's sight on any pre-
tense whatever, she is at once sur
rounded and carried off to some
neighboring house. When she has
been fairly taken she must yield
quietly and give no sign of her
whereabouts. The bridegroom and
the brides father now start in search
of her. AS there are numerous
scouts, and she is frequently re-
moved from place to place, a con-
siderable time often elapses before
she can be found. When the two
pursuers have at last tracked her to
her hiding place, they have to ran
som her by paying for all the wine
that has been drank in the meantime

Locomotive.

Victoria Elizabeth and Josephine
Boaaergus wrought Up by the
Locomotive.
A few days ago ia the new town
Of Rochelle. on the Anericus,
Preston and Lumpkin, q farmer
walked up to the station leading a
young steer by a rope attached to
his horns, which steer was draw
ing q two-wheel cart, and in the
cart sat an old lady and two buxom
young girls. They, the girls. had
never before seen O railroad, and
had come down on this quiet Sab
bath morn 10 see the monster for the
first time.
After driving the steer and cart
over the road the old man drove up
by the side Of the track q few feet
and halted. just then the whistle
Of the engine was heard as it APP
preached the station, and the rumb-
ling sound was heard for the first
time by the two girls. They both
jumped up as the steaming, Shrek
ing engine came rushing into view,
while Buck threw up his head and
began to back.
The old man yelled Whoa,
Bucki" while the old woman said,
"Sot still, Victoria Elizabeth, you
an Josephine Bosnsrgus; it amt
or gwine ter hurt yer. Me an yer
pap has rid on keers," and she
caught hold Of the dress of each one
but the engine gave another shrek,
and seemed to be dashing straight
on them. Both girls jumped out,
on either side Of the wagon, while
Buck gave q snort and started of at
full tilt. Pap held on to the rope
and was jerked along at the rate of
twenty miles an hour, hollering,
Whoa, Buck Yer darn fool; il
won't hurt YER" while the old
woman was spilled in a terribly
mixed-up state with her clothing
calling first to one girl and then the
other: Victoria Elizabeth, yo'
and Josephine Boanergus stop
there; Their thing can't run off the
track"
But her entreaty was in vain.
The girls heard her, but believed
their salvation was in flight, and they
ran about as fast as Buck, while the
old woman picked herself up and
started after Victory" Josephine
was going at lightning speed, and
approaching a fence leaped over it
like a deer, but her dress caught on
a stake, and there was a tearing
sound. but no stop-she went flying
over the field like a racer. while her
skirts flew to the breeze like a ban
ner of defiance. The old woman
with some help, caught Victoria
Elizabeth, while the old man ran
Buck into the corner of a fence and
soon had him securely tied; but
Josephine had o good half-mile
start, when the old man ven in
pursuit, saying, GOSH how tha.
leetle creetur a hop. I'll halter
be mighty spry to cotch her in ten
miles o. hereI' And he put out like a
quarter-horse. The old woman and
two other parties were holding
Victoria Elizabeth when the train
moved off. but we have not heard
whether the old nan ever caught up
with Josephine Boanergus OF
not.-American Republican.

Cured at the Salvation Army bar
racks last night. An Englishman,
q miner. came down from Bloom.
field yesterday, and in the evening
attended the services Of the army.
When the tambourine playing was
begun the Englishman hoped into
the aisle and began dancing. He
was put out doors at M by the
leader Of the S. A., and while the
two were talking, they recognized
each other as natives of the same
town in England. Then the miner
asked the exhorter whore his bottle
was. The .exhorter said he had
quit carrying q bottle, and carried
a Bible. Well, said the miner,
Z" where is your Bible?" The ex>
horter replied that be had left it at
home, and added: You had better
join the Salvation Army. Don't
do it here, because you have dam
aged your reputation by dancing in
the house Of God, but go to Grass
Valley and join. There's no use of
working for a living. Join the
Salvation Army, and have a good
time, like / do" The miner has
not joined. He prefers honest toll.
