FOR BRIDES TO PONDER,

Two ladies, evidently mother and
daughter, got on an elevated train,
and encountered in the car u young
man who knew them quite well, APP
parently. When the young lady told
him she had just been buying her
wedding gown, he said:
by Jove, must go and be meas
ured for my clothes"
Haven't you done that vet 2" she
asked in All amused way. well

wedding day, unless I send you tele-
gram 10 the morning to remind you. "
mo, | won't DEAR" he replied, and
looked at her until she dropped her
eyes.
Then he asked her how much the
gown cost yard, and how it was to
bemade. When she said with low cut
corsage and short sleeves. he entered
vigorous protest.
Not your wedding gown ~ he said.
Why not - smiling, though half
inclined to pout.
because, my dear, marriage is n
sacrament. and deserves something
better than a ballroom dress. / know
you have pretty arms and lovely
neck nevertheless, / want you to
cover them up on your wedding day.
You can wear them uncovered the
other great days of your life, but |
hope in all the years to come there
will be no other day just like our we'd
ding day. Am l not right, dear?''
There was a suspicion of moisture in
her eyes as she answered:
Yes, Tom"
And he bent down to murmur
Sweetheart - unheard, unnoticed by
anyone save the woman who sat next
to them apparently absorbed in the
evening paper.

PEOPLE ON 4 WEDDING TOUR
CAN HAVE THE BEST THERE'S

A theatre party f single young folks
from nearby New Jersey town,
says the New York Sun, having din
ed at the Brunswick rather early, con-
cluded to utilize the spare time in
seeing the city, and they went to the
Madison Square Garden Tower as the
nearest point of interest, They were
almost too late, because the time was
within three minutes of six O'Clock,
and the elevator quit business at that
hour The attendant was profuse
with apologies, and said he could only
take them up to the top of the tower,
but they would have to walk down.
One OF the youngest of the party, a
quick witted, never to get left young
man, who was assuring his fair part.
her that they wouldn't walk down,
remarked with an expression of great
disappointment;
We'll, this is too bad7-a fellow on
his wedding tour to be rebuffed like
that"
Instantly the attendant grinned
pleasantly, and after cycling suspi.
ciously the maiden, all covered with
bushes, sud with Il Chesterfieldian
bow: The elevator will take you up
and bring you back" And it did.

WHY SIZE TAINTED TO KNOB.

Here was one of Marshall p. Will
der's stories. Every time I've started
out on one of my reading tours lately
I've had hard time to get to the
ticket window of the railway station.
There are always a lot of people there
who are asking questions. They re-
mind me of an old woman whom 7
heard of in London who went to a
station a little way out of the city and
asked when the next train would go
to London.
.'12, 15," said the agent. 1t was then
8 A. NJ.
Shortly afterward the woman came
again and asked the same question.
Same reply.
AT 10 O'Clock, same question, same
answer, and so on at intervals of 80
minutes until 11.30. Then the agent
got vexed.
Madam" said he, mo trains will
pass this station-express, freight,
goods or accommodation, to London
or from London-until 12.45.
'Oh, responded the old lady, much
relieved, then think I'll venture to
cross the tracks,

TWO SPIDERS.

In an angle of basement wall 1
knew contented and plethoric her
nit spider In the opposite corner
dwelt another One was black and
the other was the color of ashes. One
was very fat and the other was ex-
ceedingly lean. But their webs were
as nearly alike as possible and they
both caught flies that came through
the same window. There was no So
cial intercourse and | used to sit on
the steps and imagine the rivalry in
business that must exist and the con-
sequent hatred. Imeant in the course
of time to discover what the conse-
uuences would be if they were made
to exchange webs, but predaceous fe-
male with broom came upon the
scene, with a result whose details
would not strike the reader as novel.
But | am convinced that Montague
and Capulet are characters not I'M
known in the spider kindred, though
they reverse the usual and natural
order of enmity, and fight only when
they are blood relatives and precisely
alike. The gray and the black might
live in distant amity in the same base
ment, but two grays or two blacks
abdomen, size and general family
likeness agreeing-would not.

HOME-SICkSESS.
If should leave my home, and go away
To pass year and day
Mid other scenes, should not early find
That had left behind
portion of my lfe's felicity
Which could not follow me?
And if, when the allotted time had passed
| turned my steps at last
To enter at the old familiar door
Of kindly home once more,
Might not learn that what my heart had
With Understanding thought,
Was missing stil-in homes securest spot
And could find it not?
Might not vainly wander to and fro,
Seeking again to know
That fond completeness of felicity
Which could not follow me?
All, yes and if a longing soul in Heaven
Free passport might be given
To come again, and tread earth'S weary soil
With feet unused to toll
To leave the converse of eternity,
And linger lovingly
Der earth's poor haunts, the Fairgrounds of
Whose smiles were dimmed with
tears,
So would it find that nothing here below
Was what it used to know
That all the peace which memory had cast
Around the cherised past,
All the familiar kindly home delight
Had vanished from it quite;
Soon would it spread its wings with sigh of
Too thankful to retain
The power of entering Heavens open door,
And leaving nevermore.
Let us not weep, then, though we lose the
light
That made this earth so bright
Though all the single Sunbeams, one by one,
Be gathered to the sun:
Assured that there, in fullness rich and free,
They will restored be,
And home, the dearest name that we can
know
On weary earth below,
, Shall he Il mother wholly recOnclIeQ
To each responding child.

SOUND ADVICE.

a sensible bit of advice was given by
a colored man, not long ago, tOa quar-.
relsome friend. 1t was in brick
yard. and two of the workmen had q
dispute which ended with blows.
In the skirmish one of them was
hurt. and the employer, who saw the
end of the fight, and was a man of
more temper than discretion, advised
him to get a warrant for the others
arrest.
While the matter was under discus
sion, a colored man who had seen the
whole affair made his way to the in
jured party and said
You dom want t. get no warrant,
Jim You get yo'self two pieces O.
plarster, good big ones, an put one
piece on yo' hade, an de oder on yo'
mouf, an you'll be all right ~

TESTING 4 HORSEFOR LAMENESS.

When examining horse with a view
to purchasing, says a contemporary,
always have him led down q steep or
stony descent at the end of halter
and with no whip near him. Many
horses when brought out of the stable
are excited by the presence of stran-
gers. and become still more so at the
sight of whip. A slight lameness
may, therefore, be momentarily over
looked by the horse himself, just as a
man, under strong excitement, will
sometimes forget a sore foot. Lead
ing the horse down a slope will show
any defect in his forequarters, and
running him back will develop any
weakness that may exist in his hind
legs.
