THEY GET WHISKY ON SUNDAY.
Two NickeIs In the Slot Produce the

From the Kansas City Globe
"Put two nickeis in the slot and get Q bottle
Of whisky" 10 the sign on the latest slot machine
now on exhibition in awyandotte street saloon.
A reporter struck the Office for street car fare
and immediately started to try the machine.
He put in his nickels, and sure enough In a
moment drawer dew open and small bottle
containing an amber-colored fluid of familiar
hue was dropped into his hand. The bottle
was securely oorked and bore Q blue label, on
which were inscribed the words in white
letters: Warranted pure Kentucky Bourbon"

Huckett I'VE could not arrest the machine,
but we might confscate IL. The affair would
probably lead to legal complications and might
call for the enactment Of q new ordinance be-

'Couid We detail an officer to stand by that
machine day and night for perhaps two or
three weeks to wait for the map to come
around?" sneeringly demanded another.
And then the man might have license or
might be merely an employe and an innocent

In any event it became evident that serious
complications might arise. It was shown that
the machines were owned by an eastern firm.

would have TO coniscate them all, and there

gazes intently at her. Slowly her dimpled chin
droops, the cupid bow of her lips looks as
though it were being drawn to dart an arrow
through his heart. The swollen protuberance
disappears. Then the jaw closes forcibly upon
the quid Of gum and an expression of COM

from the young mans bosom as the color fades

A National German-American Holiday.

Milwaukee, today devotes q page to the opinion
of the German press Of the country on the
much-agitated question of a national German
American holiday, which, it is proposed, is to
be celebrated annually by the German-Ameri-

eighty-two circulars to German dailies in all

in favor of such a holiday, although some of

Mr.. Dan Huff some time ago became enam-
ored Of Miss Chandler of Banks county, Ga.
They agreed to keep their engagement pro-
found secret from the parents of the young
lady. At the appointed time yesterday morn
ing they started to church after the old folks
had left for the same destination, succeeded in
getting in advance of them, and made their
way hastily to Danielsvllle. The young lady's
father soon had grounds to suspect the proba-
Bile sequel to the disappearance of the young
folks. He mounted a feet-footed horse and
soon found their direction and pursued them as
fast as possible. The young people arrived in
Danielsville, drove up to Mr.. Kinnebrew's and
soon after the heated animal Of the father
passed the house, bearing its master In his
haste the old man failed to see the turnout
standing by the wayside and passed them by.
After he passed there was no time to lose. The
young man obtained license and the services
OF justice aud the couple were married Soon
after the ceremony the uncle of the bride rode
up. He had also followed them, but arrived
too late. The father had lost track OF them
and turned back. He rode up and found his
hfteen-year-old daughter bride. He was ex-
cited, but was Gained down on finding that his
rage could De of no avail The groom is seven
teen years of age.

She Has Three Living Husbands.

About eight years ago, when the skating rink
craze was at its height, Minnie Decker, then
twelve years Of age, WAS living with her mar
ried sister in Poughkeepsie, NY. Minnie made
visits almost daily to the rink, where she met a
young man named Burns; and they fell deeply
in love. Burns proposed marriage, and before
Minnie had attained her sixteenth birthday
they went to a minister and the knot was tied
They had not lived together long when her
husband was arrested on criminal charge and
sent to state prison. Three years later. and
while Burns was in prison, the young
wife became acquainted with a dash.
ing fellow named Hawkins, and believing
that she was free on account of her
husbands incarceration, welded Hawkins.
Her life with him was an unpleasant one He
failed to contribute toward her support, and
finally deserted her. She subsequently learned
that he had died. She then drifted to War
wick. Orange county, and soon became o IA

village. At balls, parties and picnirs she never
was missing. On visit to Middletown she met

with each other, and three days after their
first meeting were married by the Rev. c,

AT THE OPERA.

As part OF our duty as tourists we went to
the grand opera one evening. lis a magnih-
cent affair all through, including the army of
ticket "speculators" on the staff of employees.
Thanks TO this latter arrangement we paid
dearly for the privilege of humping our heads
against the ceiling, with no consolation save
that there we're sufferers oven higher up in
inches in the ceiling. For ave solid hours we
sweitered until nearly parboiled. Between
acts almost the entire audience arose as one
man and went out to breathe" Whether the
apparatus generally used CHANGED to be tenn
porarily ont of order or not, the signals from
the stage for the orchestra were on this occa-
SION given in an exceedingly primitive manner,
being apparently u series Of sledge-hammer
thumps on the stage floor. The opera, Henry
VIII was soon disposed OF, and the remainder
OF the evening devoted to q gorgeous ballet.
The French do not seem able to have anything
without Q ballet sandwiched in somewhere. No
doubt were the Passion play performed in Paris
ballet would be worked into even that in some
way.

The third day out We passed ont of the wine
district into the beer district. and Won rejoiced
accordingly; for the last samples of wine on
the ragged edge OF the wine district were too
much even for cultivated stomach. As we
advanced toward the frontier the loayes of
bread gradually grew shorter, broader, thicker
and harder, until one would make very re-
spectacle armful for the average person. In
case Of war, should the artillery ammunition
run out, these loaves could be resorted 70 with
deadly effect. The blue blouse gradually
grew paler and paler until by the time we
crossed the line it was white. Wooden shoes
and matched roof grew more common. the
former assuming the size Of young canal boats.
As there has been a great deal Of rain in this
vicinity recently, we should think that the
shoes would prove very useful in ferrying their
wearers across the streets.
OBTAINING INFORMATION
Our experience with the provincial French
people has continued equally satisfactory as ON
the run TO Paris. In Scissors the second day out.
we stopped to inquire the best way out Of town,
having no very definite information at hand.
A crowd Of advisers soon collected, each new
conner beginning TO talk a. soon as within hear
ing. questioning somebody elses statement.
A number OF these were soon engaged in a dis
pute among themselves a. TO the correctness Of
their information, until we ned across the river
with such shreds as we had been able to gather
from the mass fred at us, ~ the only means Of
terminating the debate. II was at Scissors that
we witnessed the combined efforts of the gar
