Serious consequences are threatened

Miss Corcoran, considering the oppor-
tunity for a joke irresistible, slyly wink

But she called attention to a very serious
difficulty arising from the fact that she

Under these conditions, she said, they
could not very well marry unless he
espoused her faith. This Hope very glad

very startling nature. He was then bap-

Hope then went into the kitchen. where
Miss Corcoran's father sat calmly smok

gained the old gentleman's consent 10
make his daughter his wife. The cere-
mony was performed and was followed
by a wedding march and a feast. The
couple were wished all kinds of happi-

to depart, and they invited the young
man from Weston to go with them.
Right here the affair assumed "A serious

was finally persuaded 10 leave. but not
until the bride had promised to 20 with
him on a wedding tour the fo~llowingday.

Whistling Jack.

Jack Mccarthy is Familiarity known
wherever he goes as ''Whistling Jack"
The prefix to Jack is tackled on him 10
minutes after he lands at any city, and he
has been in every town of over 10, 600 in
habitants in the United States. Jack can
hardly be called boy now. He is % or
"a years old. He made his first appear
ance in Pittsburg about 10 years ago, a
thin, nervous little chap, who suffered
so distressingly that the charitably in
clined willingly gave him the price of a
paper rather than hear his pitiful at
tempts to cry his wares. Somebody
told him one day that if he would whis-
tie when he came to a word that he found
unpronounceable he would soon cure
himself of his painful stutter Jack tried
it, and in less than six months the whis-
tie was as fixed a habit as the stuUter-
ing. At the end of year he could no
more speak d dozen words without II
whistles than he could fly, and this was
the way he got the sobIiquet Of ''Whis-
Ting Jack. Knew York Mail and Ex-

The Blind Guide in the Capitol.

"Did you eyer hear about the first
guide at the capitol? He was stone blind.
Don't believe it? Well, don't blame
you, for in his day only few people
knew he was blind, and even those he
took through the big building suspected
that he could see." The speaker was
John B. Mccarthy, the private secretary
of Senator White and veteran newspaper
man, says the Washington News.
"The blind guide was old Professor
Donaldson as we called him, He made
his living for twenty years by showing
visitors about the building, and followed
that calling until 1878. I used to won
der how he knew when to turn in the
corridors, but he told me one day that
Re not only knew the distance from one
point to another, but that he wanted no
better guide than the draughts of air.
They never failed to make his location
known to him. Donaldson would go into
the senate gallery with party and point
out the senators, whom he would de-
scribe, locating them at their seats. 1t
was alright if they were on hand, and if
they weren't the visitors would be too
dazed to know the difference. Another
strange thing about Donaldson was that
he was an inveterate gambler. He would
make money in the day time and stake it
on poker games at night. He carried a
small black boy around with him On
those occasions, and the duty of the
pickaninny was to tell him what cards
he had. Then he played, and played
we'll, too"

Another Use For Paper.

Among the latest things made out of
paper are artificial straws for slipping
cobblers and various iced drinks. Every
body knows that real straws are apt to
be defective, but the limitations never
fail to draw. After they are rolled they
are treated with parafin to render them
water tight and nonabsorbent. The same
patent covers mouthpieces for cigarettes,
which are manufactured in a similar
fashion. Philadelphia Times.

A PHILADELPHIA magistrate thought,
for awhile, the other day, that he had a
genuine dime museum freak before him.
A colored boy had been arrested foI
stealing sponges. The prisoner told the
magistrate that he wanted them to eat;
that he habitually ate dried sponges, and
when he became hungry drank water;
that the hard tunes had reduced him to
this expedient, and that times were par
ticularly hard with him when he stole
the sponges. An investigation proved to
the magistrate that it was not freak
but remarkably resourceful prevarica-
tor that he had discovered.

A STRANGE AcTIQN.

Among the many unusual things tha'

American Independence.

learning of her intentions, gathered IN
front of her house: with the determine

that police official called upon the lady
and advised her not to hang out the flag,

force by the strike he Ewould not be
able to protect her property.
The lady had ordered a confederate
flag sent to her home, but it failed to
arrive. Thereupon she displayed Brit
