The Head of the Firm Takes a Bride.


There are twoscore young men and
women employed in the wholesale jew
elry house of G.. A Soden & Co., and
when Miss Bernadotte Duffy appeared
at her desk one morning recently attired
in dainty travelling suit there was lit
tie or no comment, although Miss Duffy
seemed more than usually busy, and
worked away with an earnest will and
without cessation. At exactly 3 o'clock
Mr.. G. A. Soden, the head of the firm,
glanced up from his desk to return the
greeting of the Rev. DR.. Thomas.
cts o'clock, guess, he said quietly
to Miss Duffy. She dropped the pencil
which was trembling in its uncertain
path across the letter page, and taking
the proffered arm stood with Mr. Soden
beside her desk and facing DR.. Thomas.
"Come up, everybody" said Manager
Yakel, and the employees gathered about,
and DR.. Thomas, fully equal to the
emergency, began the marriage service.
There were no potted ferns or costly
floral decorations, no train bearers, no
little girls to scatter flowers along the
bridal pathway, no orange blossoms, no
bridesmaids or best men and ushers in
immaculate linen and tight gloves, no
wedding breakfast, no brides cake.
Side by side they stood and gave their
responses, earnestly and quietly; the ring
was placed on the brides finger, there
were a few earnest words of admonition
and advice from DR.. Thomas, and the
service was ended. Then there were a
few happy tears, congratulations. and a
holiday for all the employees.
Mr.. and Mrs. Soden left for three
weeks trip in the east.-Chicago Trib-

Deprived of Their Gum and Their II.

Deprived OF Inelr cum and Their Hello.
The girls in the Central Telephone
exchange are in frame of mind over
the new rules of the company, which
prohibit the chewing Of gum during
working hours, interdict fiirtatious con-
versation over the wires, and require
them to say number" instead of
"hello." The day girls, who get sixteen
dollars per month, are willing to strike,
but they are not organized, and fear
their chances Of success would be very
small The night girls, who get twenty
dollars per month, have more time to
themselves, but owing to the nature of
their work cannot talk up the matter Of
striking during working hours, and
neither set will trust the other to organ
ize a union. The girls are mad, how
ever, and have been muttering over the
new rules ever since they went into
effect. Detroit Cor. Chicago Herald.

Mrs. Grants "Reminiscences

Mrs Grant has concluded that she
will not, for the present at least, publish
the "reminiscences of General Grant"

some time past. When she started upon
the papers it was her purpose to first
give them to a popular magazine, and
5hen to be issued in book form She
now declares that she Will not allow
line of what she has written to be put
into type. She says that she will COM
plete her work as record to be kept by
her children, and a mass of material
which would in any event have been
withheld had her manuscript been print
ed has been added to the written chap
tiers, and the whole matter will be turned
over to one of the sons for safe keeping
All of General Grants love letters and
the most valuable comments on the war
are embodied in the manuscript Mrs
Grant will impose no restriction upon
her children as to the disposition of the
material after her death, but while she
lives it is settled that the public will not
have her "reminiscences. boston Jour

Monument to Southern Women.

The movement to raise fund to be
devoted to the erection of monument
to commemorate the heroism and devo-
ton of the women of the south in the
war for southern independence has been
begun in a spirit which gives assurance
that it will not be stopped until its object
has been fully and speedily attained.
The men of South Carolina, we are sure,
will do their part in raising the fund,
without waiting for appeals for their CO.
operation. No appeal should be re-
quired. As General Butler said at the
recent reunion of Confederate survivors
in Augusta, THE women of the south
have spent days and months and years

How They Took Their Beaux to- the Ball.


Several young women of Crawfords-
vile gave select dance at Company |
armory. The feature Of the event was
that the young women went after the
young men and escorted them to the hall.
They secured three large drays, and after
stretching rope on the pins around the
sides the young women got on the drays
and went after their escorts. After Sc
curing al the gallants, the dray5 paraded
through the town to the hall where the
dance was held. The parade was novel
sight and was the cause of much amuse-
ment.-Cor. indianapolis Journal
a New Arrangement of the Dinner Table.
The Athenians of the fashionable
world are at present interested in the
suggestion of the triangular table for
dinner parties. 1t is done by arranging
three tables in a triangle The host sits
at the point of the triangle. with the
two most distinguished female guests on
his right and left hand. The hostess oc-
cupies the center of the base of the tri-
angle, and has the distinguished men
with her. The beauty Of this arrange
ment is that at large dinners the host
and hostess are not entirely removed
from the guests at the center of the ia
bic. AS is usually the case, they are so
far removed that they cannot keep an
eye upon them and see that they are
well served and are being amused. But
with the triangular table every one
faces them, is near enough for converse
ton to be possible and agreeable, and
altogether the conversation is easier to
start and to regulate.

A Reporters Way of Using Books.

On one occasion a pressman found,
70 his great annoyance, that he had no
copy paper His companion, brother
journalist was almost as badly of, for
he had only about dozen slips and it
was too late to send out from the hotel
where the two were staying to get any.
All the other inmates of the place were,
indeed, in bed and asleep. The jour
nalist's eye wandered around the room
IN search of something to spill ink on
and at last looked fondly on shelf of
books in one corner Then he went
over and cruelty tore the blank leaves
out of the beginning and end of every
volume. London Tit Bits.
