THE BRIDAL PATH.
Ysung Man and wemen, So Policeman aaYl. UnderstAnd Each Other There.

xoung Man and weMen, So Policeman
 Says, Usdszstand Each Other There.
 There is . short section of Madison avenue not far above the square that has been chYistened the Bridal Path by the policeman into whose beat it comes.
 1T call it the Bridal Path" said the policeman, ''because 1t leads straight to the altar I've been on this same beat now for four years, and l tell you there's something about this strip of sidewalk that makes the boys and girls come to teema The ones that use it nearly all live around here, and so I learn about their getting married. You may not believe it, but I've heard the question popped myself right along this walk when was passing by spoony couple. And I'll tell of one real case that had hand in, and it'll prove to you that there is some secret charm about this quiet sidewalk that really brings about marriages. "
 II had long watched girl and her beau walking along Lexington avenue on summer afternoons. His face al- ways looked troubled, while she was always smiling He would be arguing with her about something, and she would never get serious. I saw right away what the trouble was. The young fellow loved the girl and was trying to get her to say yes, while she was coquetting with him and holding him off It worried me, and thought If the two would only do their walking here on Madison avenue instead of on Lexington avenue they would soon come to an understanding.
 "But they stuck to Lexington, and the fellow kept on pleading, while the girl laughed him of. Then I couldn't stand it any longer, and one night when the young man had left the girl at her door I stopped him and said thought he would find Madison avenue . pleasanter place to walk. At first he got mad at my interference, but after ward he saw that meant no direspect and began laughing at my suggestion. guess he thought was a crank of some sort Next day, though, he and the girl changed over on to Madison avenue, and when passed them the young fellow nodded pleasantly to me. Nov, said I to myself, we'll have a wedding. For few days the girl didn't stop smiling, and I was getting a little afraid of the charm.
 'sThen one afternoon the two came along, and I saw that the girls face was serious. She was flushed, and she kept her eyes cast down as she walked. The young man was talking harder than ever, but his face was brighter than had seen it before. Just at dusk I saw him taking her to her door. She was thoughtful and he was radiant. Well, sir, the two are married now, and they say that she dotes on him. Oh, there's no doubt about the charm. Look at the boys and girls round here. There are four couples in sight now, and every one is marriage. Why, I spooned my own wife here, SO I ougb to know what I'm talking about. "- New York Sun.

LOVE ON A DEATH BOX.

q Chicago Driver Takes His Sweetheart
 Out Riding on a White Hearse.
 Everybody on the West Side knows Barney Sullivan. He drives hearse for Madison street undertaken. He has led more funeral processions to Calvary in the past two years than any other driver in the city. About year ago he took Maggie Dooley to see Joe Murphy in ''Shaun Rhue," and she is talking about it to this day. Not long ago, however, Barney met the Widow McGraw, whose husband was killed last summer in the Burlington yards. His life was insured for 5000. The widow put every dollar of it in bank, and it's drawing 6 per cent.
 She has an income of ten dollars 8 month from the interest and twenty dollars more from where she cooks. She is employed in the household of a Prairie avenue gentleman. It was at a wake that Barney became acquainted with the Widow McGraw. She was snlitten with his red whiskers and win ming ways He escorted her home, and on the way they stopped at restau- rant and ate oysters, both raw and fried. Barney was invited to call, which he did, and on leaving he told the widow that it was the most enjoya- ble evening he had spent since he came to America. And it was arranged that they should go buggy riding Sunday afternoon if the day was fine.
 Barney forgot all about engaging a rig until 10 o'clock in the morning. He went to several stables on the West Side, but could not hire horse for love or money. The day was delightful, and everybody was out driving about the parks and along the boulevards He telephoned to Leroy Payne's, and offered ten dollars for rig for two hours, but he might just as we'll have offered ten cents. There wasn't a horse or,buggy to be had in all Chicago. As . last resort he hitched up team of cream colored horses to a white hearse and started for Prairie avenue.
 The hearse rolled noiselessly along over the granite paved avenues, and Barney was in the height of his glory. Tn front of where the widow is en- ployed he turned in so close that the wheels of the hearse scraped against the curbstone. People in the neigh borhood went out on the front steps to inquire who was dead. Presently Bar ney and the widow came out of the house and mounted the drivers box. AS the hearse rolled away peals of laughter split the air. They drove in impressive dignity down Dre1el boule- yard, and then turned the heads of the cream colored horses toward Jackson park.
 Thousands of persons saw the strange vehicle circling around the park, but they didn't know what to make of it. Barney and the widow paid no atten- tion to the caustic comments made upon them from time to time. They enjoyed the drive as well as they would have done in a landau; for on the way home it was all planned that the Widow McGraw will soon change her name tc Sullivan.-Chicago Herald.

Do Clothes Make a Boy?

"Do clothes make . boy?" No clothes make clothes. What are clothes? They are an expression of character. A boy who respects himself will dress as decently as he can-slmply and cleanly, says hezekish Butterworth. in the Ladies' Home Journal for August. A boy who respects the worth of life will not dress conspicously even if he have the means. He Is best dressed whose appearance excites no especial atten- tion, and causes no critical remarks. Conspicuous dress goes with a light head, and very indefinite purpose in life. &
 Dress does not make the boy, but it often exhibits him; theatrical dress in society is in bad taste; but everyone owes it to others to look as we'll as he can. Neglected dress shows a want of self respect. and a lack of self respect arises as rule from sense of cheap ness of character. It IS often impossi- ble for 8 poor bo, to dress as we'll as he would wish. But he can always ex- press his well-dressed character by making his clothes neat and tasteful.

Concerning the Fourth.

The village police have been ordered to
promptly arrest any person firing pow
der cracker previous to 6 o'clock to-mor-
row evening, July 3. This seems wise
precaution and should be accorded will
ing cooperation by the boys generally
1t is well understood that while the law
forbids explosive demonstration, no au-
thority is disposed to deprive the boys
who must have noise from any of their
privileges in this regard, and the time
allowed by this Order-from O'Clock on
the Sd to midnight of the 4th-should be
enough for all hands. THE TIMES sug-
gests in this connection that drunken
rOwdies and such as are unable to dis
tinguish between fun and malicious mis-
chief, be registered in the 'scooler'' to
enjoy the best the house affords until
Monday morning. And one other thing
