Thrilling romances in which the bride
waits long and anxiously for the groom
are very common, but was a witness
to one instance that had queer end
ing, said Mrs. Beatrice Marshall to a
st. Louis Globe Democrat reporter.
81 was visiting friends in little
town in Northern Missouri and accept
ed their invitation to accompany them
to quiet little wedding at neigh
bor's house, where we found q crowd
admiring the bride, who was arrayed in
all her glory and appeared as if she had
been so arrayed for hours. The we'd
ding was to take place at o'clock, and
being close neighbors my friends felt
at liberty to go about 7, rendering their
assistance, which was gladly accepted.
Yet in spite of the early hour the house
was already crowded. The groom was
not on hand, which, it seemed to me,
should not have been matter of sur
prise, but which to many of them evil
IDENTIFY was, as l could hear no end of
comment on the subject. When
o'clock came and passed the surprise
became outspoken and several otficious
friends even went to the bride and
offered many expressions of coincidence.
The place was little country village
of only couple of hundred inhab-
itants, where every one knows every
thing even remotely connected with
every one else, and overheard several
discussions as to the young lady's good
Judgment IN accepting q young drug
gist (the expected groom) rather than
young lawyer, who was present in
sombre garments and looks. / felt
so sorry for the expectant bride, who,
with flushed face and tossing curls,
tried to appear unconcerned, that I
thought would find her and engage
her in conversation. I found her in
the hall, but she was talking so earn
estly with the young lawyer that 1 did
not intrude. l could not help hearing
him plead his case, and If his future
pleas in court were as earnest there can
be no doubt as to his subsequent pros
perity. The old clock struck and,
announcing that everything was ready,
the minister, with due solemnity, united
in wedlock the gayly attired bride and
the plainly satisfied young lawyer The
young druggist never gave any expla-
nation of his failure to appear. 1t was
learned that he was too intoxicated to
attend and it was said that the young
lawyers friends were responsible for it,
but no one ever knew"

What Singers Eat.

Not long ago list was published of
the drinks favored by the great singers
of modern times. Different wines were
regarded by different vocalists as pos
sessing desirable qualities, and London
stout was the prime favorlte of very
large proportion of vocalists. A writer
in o musical journal attaches as much
importance to what singers eat as to
what they drink !: and as he has had
large experience in engaging singers for
important tours in this country, his
opinion is worth listening to. He says
he never loses time in looking for a fine
vocalist in q country where fish and
meat diet prevail. He has found that
vocal capacity disappears in families as
they grow rich, because they eat more
meat.
The Italians who eat the most fish
those of Naples and Genoa have few
fine singers among them. In Ireland
the sweet voices are found in women of
the country, but not of the towns.
Norway is not country of singers, be-
cause the people eat too much fish !;
but Sweden is a country of grain aud
song. The carniverous birds croak /;
grain eating birds sing
This is very sweeping indictment,
but it does not alter the fact that many
of the best singers of the day include
moderate quantity of meat in their
daily bill of fare. Precept and prac-
tice, however, do not always 60 to.
gether. A reporter of New York pa
per called on an eminent tenor one
night at an opera house for the pur-
pose of ascertaining his views on the
question whether or not smoking was
injurious to the voice. The singer, who
had just come off the stage after long
and exhausting acene, said he consid-
cred that smoking was decidedly bad
thing for the voice and having given
this opinion he offered a cigarette to
the reporter and lit one for himself.

Strange Excuses,

What is much needed for persons "in
trouble, and especially for those caught
in fagra'ate delicto, is good excuse, an
explanation on the spur of the moment
for their each having, for example, three
gold watches about them An instance
Of this kind occurred only the other
morning in London. A gentleman was
stopped by policeman at two a. m. -,
md requested to explain the fact of his
carrying four umbrellas. It had been
tine day, SO that even one seemed un.
necessary. Tho best account he could
give of himself was that his mistress had
been out at a party, and he was carry-
ing her property home. The inefficiency
of an excuse of this sort is lamentable.
In no society do ladies take four UNI.
hrellas to an evening party. 1t would
have been better for the poor wretch to
have announced himself as Japanese
nobleman of the first class, who, in
Difference to Western customs, was wear
ing four umbrellas instead of four
swords. D." This would, at least, have
stag cred the policeman as being some
thing out of his beat. In another case.
three individuals are found, armed to
the teeth, under the pantry table of a
gentleman's house, who have no better
explanation to give of their position
than they were getting out OF the
rain. These excuses are pitiful and
almost pathetic. So

Her Breach of Promise Case.

A well-known attorney in Detroit,
when he first hung out his sAingle,
didn't know anywhere hear as much as
he knows now about the mysteries of
the profession, if the Free Press is
to be relied upon.
His first client was a young woman
who wanted to bring a suit for breach
Of promise.
He asked her to tell him all the cir
cumstances, and she did. When her
story was finished he shook his head
ioubtfully.
Il don't know much about this" he
said. "fou say he asked you to be his
wife ?"
"Yes, sir
"And you said you would ?"
'Yes, sir.
Then he left and didn't come back
any more ?"
HYes, sir.
"Um-um, hesitated the attorney; did
you ask him to be your husband 2"
"Of course I didn't"
Did he promise to be ?"
NNo, sir.
:Did he say anything further than
for you to be his wife p
"No, sir.
well, my dear miss, I don't see
where there was any breach of promise,
do you The fact is you were careless,
and 1 don't see how you can win this
case. You'll have to he more particu-
lar next time. You"-but she didn't
wait to hear any more of his advice;
she bounced out and got another at
torney.

SHAVED BY HIS WIFE.

| A Woman of Society Who Takes Her Hus.
band by the Nose.
There is society woman in this city
who shaves her husband three times q
week, said a smooth faced man at IL desk
in the corner of the office, according to
the Chicago Times.
1t is so, and know it. ought to
know it, for I'm the man. The way Of
| it is this:
Last summer we lived in the country,
and in the evening, three times week,
l used to come into town to get shaved.
| Of course, L would meet somebody l
knew, and often would go home late
sometimes, [ confess, in rather
'frazzled out condition. Madam didn't
| say anything, but she. no doubt, kept
up diligent thinking, and one day she
| said:
"'Dearie, hate to have you go in
town to get shaved it keeps you up
late and gives you such headaches.
, Bring me out razor and I'll wager ]
can shave you
"Of course hooted at the idea, but
she persisted, and claimed that she was
far more intelligent than the average
barber, besides being equally talkative
30 finally humored her by getting a
nice case of razors. Well, sir, she cut
me slightly only once or twice and can
now shave like an expert. Did you ever
see a cleaner face than mine I pay
her a fancy price, of course, but she
promises to take me to Europe some
day on her barber-sbrp perquisites"
Pooh r said the bookkeeper with
the haystack beard. "I'd be afraid to
trust my wife that near me with razor
in her hand"
Well" retorted the smooth faced
man, if 1 was mean to my wife would
be, too"
And the balance of sympathetic
laughter was with the man whose wife
shaves him.

THE STORY PAIC HIM,
Standardization an Eminent Atlorne
Foes.

| Fees.
The most eminent consulting lawyer
of Paris at one time in the last century
was the Able May, says the Manchester
Times. His opinion had great weight
in forming the decision of the judges,
and he was often consulted in import
ant matters outside the law. His fee
for an opinion was usually large one.
The story of one of his exceptional
fees is related by M. de Bois Saint Just
in his history of Paris
A cure from the country called on
the abbe one day, and after compli-
mentlng him with earnestness and
sincerity on his creditaple and deserved
reputation, said that he was involved
in lawsuit which he did not under
stand. He asked the abbe to advise
him whether he was in the right or in
the wrong, and whether he had better
I carry on the suit. So saying he de-
livered to the great jurist an enormous
package of papers covered with almost
illegible handwriting. The abbe
cheerfully accepted the task and told
| VIC cure W GILL again III Two weeks.
He was pleased with the good, simple
hearted man and devoted his best
energies to clearing up the case though
he was obliged to- put other matters
aside in order to do so. The cure
called on the day appointed, took the
abbes written opinion and read it
through critically. He was delighted
with the enthusiasm and clearness with
which his rights were set forth. He
embraced the abbe gratefully and cried:
'Ah. monsieur, no one could be better
pleased than am, and I want you to
be satisfied also. Here is money, mon
sieur. Please take what is due you, 4"
and he threw three-f franc piece on the
table. Not to humilate the good man,
the abbe picked up the coin, took
thirty-six sous from his purse and
handed his client the change. Some
one said. when he told the story, that
as usual he had lost by his disinterest-
edness.
Lost r said the abbe. "And do
you count the pleasure of telling the
story nothing"

UnpleasantIy Affectionate.

Everybody likes pets if they are
harmless but when you make pet of a
wild beast, take care it doesn't become
unpleasantly affectionate.
A traveller in Persia had arrived at
Ahadeh, where European telegraph
official, Mr. G., welcomed him hospi-
tably, and invited him to remain for the
night, He says:
An hour later I was comfortably
settled upon the sofa, when my rest
was suddenly disturbed by q loud
bang at the sitting-room door, which,
flying open, admitted two enormous
animals, which I at first took for
dogs.
Both of them made at once for my
sofas and while the larger one curled
comfortably around my feet and COM
posed itself to sleep, the smaller one,
evidently of more affectionate disposi-
ton, seated itself on the floor and COM
menced licking my hands and face, an
operation which, had I dared, should
strongly have resented.
But the white, cleaning teeth and
cruel-looking green eyes inspired me
with respect, to use no stronger word,
for ! had by this time discovered that
these domestic pets were panthers. To
my great relief, Mr. - entered at
this juncture.
Making friends with the panthers, T
see," he remarked pleasantly. They
are nice cQmpanionable beasts"
That may have been true at the time.
The fact remains, however, that three
months afterwards the affectionate
one half devoured a native child. The
neighborhood Of Abedeh, Mr.. G.. in
formed me, swarms with these animals.

My saint is a saint that few may know

She is fair as faithful, and faithful as faiH,
With halo encircling her beautiful hair.
She is full of wiles and modes as an elf.

And well for him who his burden can bear
In the light of the halo about her hair.
Her face is mirror where men may read

Her life is life of devotion and care,
And she has halo about her hair.
Her care Is for others and not for herself,
And naught she recks of profit or pelf.
Enough for her that her goal is won.

That comes to her from a Power above;
And who adore her can hardly dare
