presided in the dining room of the
Sheridan house for the past few months,
and Miss Minnie Galloway, one of the
bellies of a certain select circle of society
were very quietly married at the mag
niticent mansion Of the brides parents
on lower Front street and Missouri g
nue.. The ceremony was an imposing and
impressive one.
Now there are a few circumstances in
connection with this marriage which
render it deserving of more than merely
passing mention. The groom came to
Bismarck from st. Paul some months
ago, and took a position at the Sheridan.
He seemed to give the greatest of salts
faction, as he tripped lightly about the
cafe; bestowipg upon one guest a sad,
sweet smile, upon another a little more
of the sugar please, and upon still
another a ~reproachful glance, as some
impatient guest wanted to know where
was his iced tea, hang it. But these
vicissitudes of life seemed to make no
impression upon his rather melancholy
disposition. He brooked the cruel re-.
marks of minimizing guests, with a
prlncely disdain and a hauteur that was
almost kingly, but often in the solitude
OF his apartment he shed many a briny
tear over these thrusts, some of them SO
stinging to his naturally proud spirit.
Like a captive prince he fitted about
the dining room. Too proud to display
his anger, be secretly resolved to hide
from the cold, calculating gaze of the
public his wearing grievances. His
pride Was aroused, and guests noticed
and commented upon his distinguer ap-
pearance.
But he was destined to have an expert
ence which should change the whole
current of his existance, an experience
which should gladden. his soul, and send
the blood rushing along it's course in a
wild, raging torrent; and he dit it.
1t happened that while out upon one
OF his ~promenades, be caught sight of
the charming lady who is now his wife.
Hers was a wild, weird beauty, such as
lovers speak and poets dream of. Her
gazelle like eyes pierced his heart, and
made scorching impress upon his mind;
her complexion, tinged with that rich,
dark color which bespeaks descent from
some once resident of far off Ethiopia,
was such as has the ripening peach, so
soft and smooth and fine; her carriage
was erect and her poise queenly. Like
some Andalusian princess she walked
royalty through a throng of which the
hero of this narration was a member.
And with a wild sigh he felt his heart
tear loose from its ~fastenings, and pass
ing through his vest, go out to her with
a leap and a bound.
He was in e~cstasies. He forgot the
sings and arrows of this cruel world;
his whole soul was wrapped up in her;
he sought an introduction, it was granted
and this regally beautiful maiden was,
in turn, complety captivated by his
manly beauty, his intellectual counte-
nance and his sweet disposition. The at
tachment ripened into love of the most
passionate description. He bit-came
reckless, and spilled things on the table,
cloth; he brought guests spoons when
they asked for more of the white meat,
please. His thoughts we're always far
away, when the day should come that he
might call her his own, his very own.
But these heavenly fancies we're des-
tined to be rudely interrupted. Ethereal
thoughts we're forced to give way to pro-
sale, earthly happenings. Proprietor
Kihm, who had noticed his vagaries,
called him aside, and gently informed
him that his pay would be stopped from
thence henceforth. In the language of
the poet, he was fred; but, in his wild,
unrestrained love, he did not realize it.
