CHEEKY AUNT NANCE.
She Kept a Dinner Station in the
Rocky Mountains.

1H
The dinner station on a certain
stage line In the Rocky Mountains
was kept some years ago by a woman
known to the travelling public as
Aunt Nance. Her cozy log cabin vas
hidden amongthe pinesin a mountain
gulch. and was four miles from any
other house. Dreary as IL looheu
without, the little log cabin OF three
rooms was wonderfully bright
CHEEKY within. Aunt Nance was a
famous cook and a woman OF unlall-

She knew all the stage-driyers, n

Mischievous Boys.

~ M 0Oy6s
lt takes the average small boy to
concoct schemes to surprise his elders.
One OF the newest schemes of this sort
is being practiced by a select coterie
OF youngsters who reside up on one of
the South Side avenues. If they keep
1t up they will doubtless acquire one
OF the soundest cases OF humping
eve administered to a bov or a set of
boys. Tneir modus operandi is this
Iney first steal, beg or borrow some
laths, and on the end Of each lath
they buncll the remains of n news
paper. Then they prowl about their
neighborhood, somewhere near six
p. m, and peer into unprotected WIN
dows. When they see a family at sup
per they quietly strike matches and
Ignite their newspapers, after which
they elevate their laths in front of the
windows and utter the most fiendish
yells.
The noise attracts the attention of
the supping family, and, of course,
they see the flaming papers just out
side of their windows. For a moment
or two they are alarmed by the un-
usual spectacle, but when the head of
the house realizes that he has been
scared by a boyish prank he grabs a
heavy cane and starts for the door,
only to find that the youngsters have
made good their escape, accompany
ing their departure with derisive
yells. But some night the mar of the
house will get a good start, and when
he does he will warm the jackets of
the youthful creators of a new sensa-
tion.-Chicuqo Herald.

Concerning Bridemaids.

Instead OF being only SO many
graceful ornaments at the marriage
ceremony, as nowadays, the BRIDE
maids in older times had various
duties assigned to them. One Of their
principal tasks was dressing the bride
on her wedding morning. At a we'd
ding, too, where it was arranged that
the bride should be followed by a
numerous train Of her lady friends, it
was the first bridesmaids duty to play
the part of a drill mistress, "sizingD
them, so that m pair in the pro-
cession were followed by IL taller
couple She was also expected to see
that each bridemaid was not only pro-
vided with a sprig of rosemary, OF a
floral posy pinned to the
breast folds of her dress, but had a
~syinbolical chaplet in her hand.
In many parts of Germany it
is still customary for the bride
maids to bring the myrtle wreath,
which they had subscribed together
to purchase on the nuptial eve, to the
house of the bride, and to remove it
from her head at the close OF the we'd
ding day. After this has been done,
the bride is blindfolded, and the myr-
tie wreath being put into her hand
she tries to putt on the head Of one
of her bridesmaids as they dance
around her; for, in accordance with
an old belief, whoever she crowns is
sure to be married within a year from
that date. AS may be imagined, this
ceremony is the source of no small ex-
element, each brideinaid being natu-
rally anxious to follow the example OF
the bride, and get married within a
year.-Neac York Ledger.
