Whore Weddings Arc melancholy.

A Japanese wedding would appear
to be q melancholy affair. 1t is not
good form for tho bride over there to
admit that she is glad to get married.
When she is told of the process she is
expected to howl loudly and long.
Also she must keep it up by day and by
night until the ceremony takes place.
After she has been richly dressed for
the event she must renew her shrielss
and hang back until one of her at
tendants throws a veil over her face.
Then an old woman takes her on the
back and carries her to a sedan chair.
When she arrives at the bridegrooms
house she is wife, the simple ride in
the flowery chair being the. only legal
ceremony required, though profuse
entertainments and congratulations
from assembled guests follow her
arrival

who would take it between his teeth,
brace himself and puff away with evil
dent relish-keeping the pipe lit until
it suited his masters pleasure to smoke
again himself.
The weight of the pipe obliged the
dog to lean very far back to keep his
balance. Holding this absurd attitude
in itself was no easy feat, but far more
difficult was his maintaining the erect
position on his hind legs so long.
1t did not seem to tire him, however,
for watched him several times until
out of sight, and never saw him get
down on his forelegs at all, like other
and less accomplished dogs. Indeed,
he seemed to enjoy it and to fully re-
alize the dignity of his official position
as pipe bearer.
There was, a few years ago, boot
black who had stand on the boule-
ward des Italiennes. This artist owned
large poodle, who, for professional
reasons, never had his hair cut like
most of his dog brothers.
This remarkable dog would sit by the
stand in clear weather when business
was dull, his bright eyes watching crit
ically the shoes of the passers-by.
If the dog saw n particularly fine
shine on some dandy's boots he would
dash out, and, before the astonishcd
pedestrian knew what he was about,
would ruin the polish with few quick
lappings of his large, moist tongue.
Then in half apologetic and persua-
sive manner he would try to drag by
the coat-tails his victim towards his
masters stand, so as to have his boots
shined over again.
He never failed also to bark, to call
his masters attention to the approach
ing customer
This dog really conducted the whole
business Curiously, if the weather
was bad and the streets wet, and there
were consequently shoes in plenty TO
shine, he would not resort to these ex-

President Debs was born in Terre Haute,

and when sixteen years old began work
as painter in the Vandalia railroad
shops. Afterward he worked for three
years as fireman on the same road.
His first appearance in public life was
