PULLMAN ADVENTURES.
Sleeping Car Conductor Relates One Of
His Comical ExnerienceS.

A Sleeping Car Conductor Relates One Of
His COmical Experiences.
l have seen quite number of stories
in print as to the adventures of old
fashioned individuals riding in sleeping
cars for the first time, and l expect
every conductor on the road could mar
rate one, if not more. The most conf
cal experience of the kind that l re-
member, happened in 1886. was rum
ming on the Frisco road, and at PIERCE
City gentleman put his father on the
car, and telling me it was the old fell
lows first railroad trip, as we'll as his
first experience in sleeper, asked me
to take good care of him and see him
safely to st. Louis. The old gentleman
was very talkative, told me he lived
away off the road and hadn't left home
any distance in his life. His son was
we'll fixed and had insisted on sending
him to St. Louis to see some relatives
there. Every time we stopped he hunt
ed me up and asked whether he had to
get off, and when we left Springfield I
persuaded him to 60 to bed. He had a
lower berth and settled down very COM
fortably after extracting from myself
and the porter solemn promises
that he should not be allowed
to oversleep himself. At about mid
night a drummer, who had engaged
the upper above the old Missourian, de-
cided to turn in. BY some mischance
he woke the latter, and then the fun
commenced. The old man caught the
young one by the leg, and shouting
murder" commenced to struggle. Both
rolled on the floor, the drummer coming
down very heavily, with his assailant
on top. There was Glaos and pande-
monium in no time. The old fellow was
an excellent wrestler and it took three
of us to liberate the bewildered drum
mer, who fortunately had too much
sense to insist on having revenge. But
nothing we could say could convince
the Infatuated farmer that there had
been no improper designs on his pocket
book. At last under threats of arrest he
promised to let the assassin" alone, but
he insisted on dressing, and at the next
stop he disappeared in the darkness. l
learnt afterwards that he took the train
home the next day, and doubt whether
he will ever try to reach st. Louis
against. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat.

WEDDING SUPERSTITIONS.
Curious Customs Which Have Been
Vogue Many Years.

Curious Customs Which Have Been Ii"
Vogue Many Years.
AS long as there are fair women ana
brave men there will continue 10 De
weddings. and as weddings are the fash
ion there will still be plenty OF persons
on hand to suggest to a young bride just
what she should do to avoid bad luck,
and also what she should not do for the
same reason.
People who are ordinarily sensible
about most things let all their superstl-
tious notions creep into their IDEAS re-
garding the preparations for Wedding,
and these whims are made the subject
of discussion at as early stage In the
proceedings as when the young lady Is
considering what she prefers for an en-
gagement ring.
She is told to avoid opals, as no one
ever was known to have any happiness
who owned one of them. In spite OF
this. however, dealers say that there is
always a demand for rings set with this
beautiful stone Pearls, the superstl-
tious say, are even worse, but eventually
the little circlet is purchased and the
time for the wedding discussed. Then
more complications arise as certain days
are unfavorable and some months are to
be Stunned. May is said to be an
especially unlucky month, why no one
can tell, but many rhyme could be
quoted to show that this notion has pre-
vailed for centuries. August is also
or 8,
which to wed, and those who marry il,
Lent will Give to repent, )" according to
very old authority.
Winter seems to be the favorite season
for wedding bells to chime. in our country
at least. In Scotland the last day of the
year is regarded with great favor, and
should December 81 fall on Friday so
much the better, as that is the favorite
day of the week for wedding. Sunday
weddings are common in England, ana.
in the early history of our country many
couples were made one on that day, but
recently such thing is seldom heard
of.
In Norway and Sweden Thursday
marriages are forbidden by the Church,
it being called pagans' day.
After much consideration the day is
decided upon, and brave indeed is the
girl who will consent to change it, for
that is sure to bring ill-luck which all
the rice and old shoes of the country
could not drive away.
The time arrives an., with it much adj
vice in regard to tbs color which she
shall wear and the manner of arraying
herself. Probably no girl in her teens
is ignorant of the rhyme which urges
young brides to be careful to wear
something old and something new,
something borrowed and something
blue" in order that she may live ''happy
ever AFTER" as the stOrybook says.
Misfortune is sure to follow the bride
who has speck of green in her costume.
She must never array herself in all he1
pretty robes until dressing for the cere-
mony. She must never read the mar
riage service quite through and she
must not stand before the mirror one
second after she is ready, no matter how
pleasing the reflection of the happy face
and graceful gown.-Journal of Ameri

only slightly, closed his cash drawer with a

HOW TO USE MONEY.
Every Wasted Dollar is a New Link in the
Chain Of ROndape.

Every wasted Dollar is q New LINK In tho
Chain of Bondage.
The highest value of money is not it's
value exchangeable for luxuries-for
houses, equipage, art, service, and so
forth. 1t is chiefly priced for the power
which it gives on er others-for the old
potency, marked so long ago, which
makes the borrower servant to the
lender. But it's highest value-is to
free the borrower from bondage to the
lender. The highest value of money is
in it's power to purchase personal liberty
and independence. There are other
ways in which men gain emancipation
from personal servitude to other men,
but they are open to but few. A man
who has exceptionally fine talents in
kind may be free man; but the great
mass must purchase themselves with
money. By this we do not mean free
dom from dependence upon our fellow
men. No man can escape that, and it is
one of the most benefcent of the fund
amental laws of nature that it can not be
done. Mutual dependence is essential to
OuO OCVC1Opu1ClU VI dill UuO AuCI VIZ
tues. But we do mean personal
servitude, the necessity of obeying an
individual master. Ordinarily this
may not be in itself hardship; but
emergencies do come, and come not in
frequently, when this servitude involves
the sacrifice of sacred rights and man
hood-often the sacrifice of conscience.
Lack of knowledge of the highest value
of money leads to very general sacri-
flee of its best use to inferior uses. Peo-
pie buy luxuries-better houses, living,
etc., not knowing that they are selling
their liberties for present qualifications.
Every young man ought to start out
with this one main object in life in
view, to win his freedom. 1t is an in
spring struggle, and one in which the
high motive will lift him over many
hardships. He may win it as a scholar
win it by the highest possible develop
ment of his mental and moral powers
by any thing that gives him superiority
in any kind of work. But in lieu of
special talents, money will do it. Every
wasted dollar is a new link in the chain
of Standardization.
