AFRAID TO RISK 1T.
Something That Made a Bride Hest

Omaha Morning world-Hera


Among the applicants for marriage

TO be joined in matrimony. They were both
up to the requisite age, and MIR. Walkup did

The young man followed her, and they
held brief conversation among the books
and papers of the outer Office, when Mr..
Walkup. with dreams of an elOpement ia
mind, suggested that they might have tho
inner room for private discussion if they
desired. They entered, aud were for some
time engaged In earnest talk, the BRIDE
groom expectant arguing for all he was
worth. Finally the girl gave in and agreed
TO carry the affair through, and the Judge
was called from the bench to fix itup before
she could again change her mind.

was nearly unlucky that you had Judge

powerfully impressed was Andrews with
the reality of the apparitiOn that. Knowing
the reckless disposition of Lyttelton, he
concluded to rebuke the unceremoni ious in
truder by throwing slipper at him. The
visitor did not finch but said solemnly,
"All is over" and vanished.
1t was not till late the next day that Miles
Peter Andrews, after thoroughly satisfying
himself that his friend had not been present
in tie neighborhood that night, learned by
special messenger that Lord Lyttelton
had died at the precise moment when the
apparltlon had torn aside the curtains of his
bed.

listened to ghost stories galore, but do not

an impression on my mind.

TWO APPARITIONS
An Old Ghost Story Told
in a New Way.
SCIENCE IS PERPLEXED.
A Hundred Years Have Not impaired
the Testimony, and the House
Is Still Standing.
Written for THE MonS1No CALL.

My old friend b, now separated from
me by twenty years Of time, continent
two oceans, and quite probably by the
grave, used 10 derive endless satisfaction
from teasing me about ghosts. He was a
skeptic of skeptics, and always made a
point OF asking whether spOoks wore
clothes and hats and followed the prevailing
fashions in their attire. If such were the
case, he said, there must OF necessity be a
ghost of hat, gnost of pair of panta-
looms. ghost of a wig; in short, the things
must msteriaIize as well as the person.
Now" SAID he as we sat one morning
in the broad and matter-of-fact light of day
on the deck Of yacht off Greenhithe with
the muddy Thames waters lapping the
sides, what say you to ghost in knee
breeches. or shall say in nightcap? How
would the nighteap do, Ell? Think of it
the spirit of nightcap?"
l had heard this sort Of objection some
few score times before from other sources
aud did not think 1t worth while to argue
the point. From the sublime to the rdicu-
lous is but one step. and the shafts of ridi-
cule have been aimed at even grander OBJ
jects than ghosts.

man" just for the privilege Of loafng in
Cupid's bower for half a day.
AS a rule, the persons applying for
license come in couples. 1t Is not neces-
sary, but il looks as If the brides that are 10
be want to see that everything is on the
square and that the happy man that is TO
be does not make mistake in the names or
back out at the last moment.
In nine cases out Of ten. while the couple
are seated and Cupid" is making the
requisite entries, the young man nurses his
hat in his lap or neryouSiy crushes 1t be-
tween his fingers. while the young woman
beats a tattoo on the floor with her toes and
'gOrgouiZes" any other man or woman
present with a stony stare. II there is any
thing in the world to make high-strung
woman angry it is the bare suspicion that
spectators detect anything unusual in her
manner.
There are so many amusing scenes daily
enacted in Cupid Haley's bower that it is
difficult, within reasonable limits, to de-
scribe even few Of them. Since Cupid
struck his job few months ago he has be-
come something of a linguist. an accom-
Dishment he had never previously dreamed
of.
The reason is this:
In a number Of cases both the bride and
bridegroom-elect are Of foreign extraction
and cannot speak a word of English. And
so conversation ensues OF this order:
What is the name?"
81 mean the young mans name?"
"CbodOp StrOdgstrOgakuffu0ff.
~ beg pardon, will you please spell it?"
This is poser for the young lady, but
Cupid" Will spend an hour to get it right.
Sometimes the applicant insists on putting
the surname before the given name, and
poor "Cupid' gets badly mixed up on
Friedrich Hermann or Hermann Friedrich,
and Miguel Carlos or Carlos Miguel; while
the bGide-eeCt cannot be made to under
stand that there is any difference between
Maria Mercedes Candida and Candida
Maria Mercedes. or that the quitting the
cart before the horse" is a material matter
in marriage license. Maria seems to in
innate that so long as the young man is
present and in her clutches it is all right,
and she can be relied on TO take all needful
measures to keep the collar fast around his
neck afterward.
The average young woman who goes,
with trusted friend, TO apply for q license
would belle the reputation Of her sex if she
did not make use of the glass door as a

The "horrid man" was CALL reporter,
who, in the pursuit of his lawful avOcation,
chaneed to be then and there present at the
moment when young lady of 20 or there
abouts had at last made up her mind to
enter Cupid" Haley's sanctum and procure
a marriage license.
The young girl who accompanied the
timid applicant was evidently of the same
opinion. as to the unwelcome presence Of
''the horrId man," and the latter diplomat
ically folded up his notebook and made a
pretense of urgent business in another part
of the new City Hall.
He had his revenge a few minutes later,
when he returned abruptly and found the
prospective BRIDE fully committed to the
final particulars which Cupid Haley was
taking down as fast as the young lady could
whisper them.
All the ladies who call on Mr.. Haley on
a similar errand are not equally diffident.
Some. indeed, are aggressive and trium-
phant in their demeanOr. as if to say that

Irish Football.


Football In Ireland may be said to consist
of three parts-Rugbian, Association and
Gaelic. 4he rule of play in these orgauiza-
tions has been defined as follows: In Rugby
you kick the ball. in Association you kick
the man if you cannot kick the bail. and in
Gaelic you kick the ball ii you cannot kick
the man. This puts the present procedure
and position of the rival devotees into a
nutshell. The AssOciatonists are mainly
confined to Belfast. where they form a body
which 1t would be as difficult to convict of
professionalism as it would be for them to
prove that they are amateurs.
The Gaels are free and festive cOmmun-
iiy, who have their headquarters at Clon-
turk Park, Drume0ndra, County Dublin.
This park Is conveniently situated between
Glasnevin graveyard and the Mater Miserl-
cordia Hospital. A man has been known
to pass from the football field direct to the
hospital. and from the hospital to the ceme-
terry, another match being then got up to
raise funds for the benefit of the next of
kin. thus running the risk of killing a few
