The trip to town was soon taken and
knowing that she had been living on steer
age fare. which is the plainest kind food
without seasoning. wanted her to have =
square meal. After che had alighted At
The Winsor H.
hotel. left her there and took carr Il my
team. Then went back and registered.
"Ole Olson and wife" We had 4 little
time to spare and showed her around the
house. The parlor was 4 nice cosy place
with good soft seats all around: the bed
rooms were all they should be-clean
sheets and no bed bugs. But it was at the
dinner table that her eyes bunged out with
surprise. She had never been waited on
before and the idea OF giving an order from
printed bill of fare was new to her. She
could not read English and she waited till
had given my order and said she would
take the same. 1t was royal dinner and
Marie had never seen 20 many kinds OF
food for one meal. She had a good Ape
rite and did justice to the 1innes.
After dinner I called at
& A. Hildreth's
Barber shop. and had my hair cut and got
shaved. I tell you needed it and was
much improved by the nice job done here.
A moving machine cut my hair. and how
lightly the razor was handled. No pulling
nor cutting. 1tpays to patronize a good

to go beyond his pile, but Marie vowed
that cashmere dress was good enough
for the present. 50 that is what we bought.
resolving that when able q better dress
should be purchased The stock Of cloaks
took her eye for winter wear and next fall
we will call and get one.
Noticing that my stock Of dishes was
small, Marie suggested that some new ones
would come handy. 50 we went to
The Farmers Store
and bought full set for $40. with nous
tache cup thrown in for Ole. new lamp
and lantern. We believe in plenty Of
light. We were shown the finest assort-
ment of crockery, glassware and queens
ware in the country, and it would make the
queen swear to know that her butler had
purchased elsewhere.

A Providence Man Learns 1t Is Not Best
Love at Long Range.

A Providence Man Learns 1t Is Not Best to
Love at Long Range.
WILKEsBARRE, Aug. 30.-A romantic
affair occurred in Providence on Thurs
day night. Miss Annie Barrett is q resi-
dent of that town. She is a member of st.
Johns congregation, is pretty and had
many admirers. John Cadden, q
well-known young business man of
the town, seemed to have the in
side track. He had dangerous rival, how
ever, in the person of John Leary, of
Kingston. The town of Kingston is some
20 miles distant from Providence. This
gave Cadden the advantage, as he could see
Miss Barrett oftener than his rival. Leary
paid two visits week to Providence.
About two weeks ago the friends of
Miss Barrett received notice that she
would be married on Thursday evening at
the church. Everybody understood that
young Leary was to be the lucky man.
Leary and his best man arrived in Provi-
dence on Thursday at noon. They went to
the hotel and made preparations for the
wedding. Many of the would-be groom's
friends called and congratulated him.
AT 6 o'clock Leary and his best man
called at Miss Barrett's home. To his sur
prise and indignation he found his rival
Cadden there dressed in wedding suit and
waiting for the bride, who was in another
room. Leary demanded an explanation. All
Miss Barrett would say was that she had de-
cided to marry Cadden. Leary declined to
leave the house. The wedding party went
out ahead of him and took carriages, when
the indignation of the disappointed lover
knew no bounds. He made all kinds of
threats. When the bridal couple entered
the church eyeryhodv was surDriSed In
stead of Leary, Cadden was the groom. The
affair has created great deal of talk. Miss
Barrett now says she never said she would
marry Leary; but she might have told him
as a joke to be on hand the day of the we'd
ding. Leary says it was no joke, that all
arrangements had been made for the mar
riage, he gave the lady valuable presents,
and he himself was put to considerable ex-
pense in getting his wedding outfit ready.
