A Young Bridegroom's Embarrassing IL
Psrtcnos at the Board Of Trade.
A day or two ago, a few minutes be
fore the opening Of the board Of trade,
there stepped into one Of the elevators in
the building a well known commission
man and a country customer. The coun-
tryman was a young. fresh faced, IN
sophisticated looking chap, who was in
Chicago for the first time looking after a
couple Of cars Of wheat that he had
shipped in. As the elevator rose he casu-
ally remarked to the commission man:
81 was married last night, and this is a
sort Of a bridal trip"
Congratulations were extended by the
commission man as they stepped out into
the hall leading to the exchange. Among
the Others who rode up in the ~elevator
was a certain blonde young man whose
love for a practical joke has made him
rather famous on the floor. He had
CHANGED to stand back to back with the
young countryman, had overheard the
confidential admission made by him b
his friend, and as they stepped from the
elevator he managed to get a good look
at Mr.. Younghusband.
An hour or so later, when he had a
few moments TO himself, he stepped over
to he telegraph counter and wrote upon
a blank: II have bet 300 10 $40 that
you were but recently married. Do |
win my bety' This he folded and placed
in an envelope, and, calling "a messenger
boy, pointed out Mr.. Younghusband,
and hade him deliver the message.
He told n few Of his cronies on the
floor what he had done, and the young
co%untryman was watched with consider
able interest by a dozen or twenty trad
ers in various parts Of the crowd. He
received the message from the boy with
a half doubling look, opened it slowly,
II rs he comprehended its contents his
face was dyed a deep crimson, while a
foolish smile lifted the corners Of his
mouth
He looked about him sheepishly to see

message and then beat a rather precipi-
tous retreat. He failed To put. in an APP

DIR. Norvin Green, the president of the
Western Union Telegraph company, and
he always gets here at 4 o'clock to the

An Investigation as to the hour was
made and it was found that it was Just
exactly 4 o'clock, as any one who is
acquainted with the movements Of DR..
Green would certainly have known. If
he is well or in the city he very seldom
d~eviates u minute in the time that he
reaches the Astor House. He always
leaves his Office in the Western Union
Building at 1855 o'clock p. m. and strolls
leisurely up to the Astor House.
The regularity with which he reache.
this place every day has become a hobby
with him and he prides himself upon it.
He says that all his movements have the
same clock-hke precision AS does his
appearance Mt the hotel. He is so sure
that he will never be much out Of the
way that he has an understanding with
n number of people who frequent the
Astor House that they can always expect
him to treat If he is ever five minutes
out Of the way in his arrival, unless he
should be sick or out of town or on days
when there is a directors meeting of the

Election day is an exciting one in
Greece. The last one was especially so
in Athens. The people were to vote for
members Of parliament. The election
occurs every four years, For a week
previous to the polling all the men and
boys were parading the streets, headed
by a band. The Greeks are blessed with
most powerful lungs, and their shouts of
''VivaT" fairly drowned the braying of
the donkeys. The interest was 50 in

The voting takes place in the churches
on Sunday, consequently the customary
service is dispensed with. In the church
to which IN American gentleman sue
ceeded in finding access there were
ranged round the church forty-two
boxes, that being the number OF the
candidates.
These boxes were something the shape
Of a tea box, one half painted white,
with Yes" on it, and the other half
black, with No" on it.
Tin tubes projected from the front
outward. Looking through these tubes
one could see hat the boxes were divided
into two compartments. Beside each
box stood a representative of the candi-
date, and over the box appeared the
candidates picture. Each voter, as he
entered the church, had his name and
address registered, and a check given
him. The above mentioned representa-
tive then gave the voter a bullet. or
vote, made Of lead.
Formerly the dishonest voter would
slip another bullet up his coat sleeve,
and as he raised his arm to the tube the
bullet would roll down, and two votes

A tail, squarely built and athletic man
of %thirty-five or thereabouts walked into
the California hotel and registered John
Kelly, Jr., Bodie." Heis superintendent
of the Bulwer, Bodie and Mono mines,
located at Bodie, andhe became involved
in a dispute with a miner named j. C.
Grant. The result was that the two
men met on the street in Bodie, and
when within a few feet of each other
Grant drew a 45-caliber revolver, and
without warning fired point blank at
Kelly. The latter threw up his left arm,
and as he did so the bullet passed down
the inside of his Goa sleeve without
scratching the skin and made its exit at
the elbow.
They then clinched, but Grant kept
firing, and the second shot struck the
collar button in the back Of Kelly's shirt,
carried it away and plowed up the lining
of his coat without doing other damage.
The third and fourth shots went through
Kelly's coat, which was unbuttoned, but
the fifth struck him in the chin. When
it struck the bone, however, it was de-
hected, and, after tearing its way along
the jaw, came out just in front of the
ear. Kelly then wrenched the pistol
from the others hand and with it beat
him into insensibility. The former keeps
the coat and shirt that he wore at the
time as a memento Of his marvellous es-
cape.-San Francisco Call.
