"The president not only tenders you
his sympathy, but wishes to help you.

OMENS OF MARRIED LIFE.

Signs That Are Believed to Predict Happl.
ness or Misery.
On the day of the marriage so many
superstitions enter into every detail
that it is very wise bride indeed who
remembers all those little acts that are
SO sentient with meaning in regard tc
the future. If by chance she should
happen to put on her left shoe first her
married life will prove unhappy; there
fore it behooves her to look carefully to
this portion of her toilet and be certain
to select the right foot as the first to be
attended to.
No bridal guest should wear a cos
tune entirely black, as such a choice
will bring sorrow to the bride If the
best man stumbles on his way to the
altar, it is regarded as most ominous
proceeding, and at any rate is awkward
enough to merit rebuke.
The wedding ring should be circlet
of gold, unbroken by any jewel, as the
significance of the ring demands that
it's form shall be typical of the endless
love-that prompts its bestowal. To try
on the ring before marriage is certain
to bring dire misfortune, and many
there are who would regard taking it
off as an actual sin, holding fast to the
belief that it was placed on the finger
for all time and not merely as the sym
Dol of an evanescent affection.
When the bride leaves the assembled
company to change her gown she
throws her bouquet among the group
and the fortunate one who catches it
is promised husband within a year,
provided always that he or she is sin.
gle at the time. 1t is the ty of every
bride who pretends at all to be versed
in these superstitions to throw away
every pin that was used in her bridal
attire. The bridemaids as rule are
willing to go down on their hands aii2
knees on the carpet in order to secure
one of these lucky emblems, and each
one fortunate enough to possess her
self of even bent and decrepit speci.

How Little Man Avoided Fight With
Big One.
The big man was just drunk enough
to be spelling for fight. That was
apparent to every one in the cafe. He

three sizes smaller who had been qui-
etly minding his own business in cor.

''Sir, you've insulted me-" exclaimed
the big man.
''You are mistaken" quietly re-
sponded the other.
you're liar" thundered the big
man, and if you know what that
means you'll fight
Certainly" was the rejoinder, with
out tremor of perturbation, "but it
must be after I've finished eating;
never allow trifles to interfere with my
dinner. Waiter, hurry up that porter
house steak! Never mind if it is bit
rare.''
The big man, nonplussed for the
time being by such display of cool
ness, sat down at a table near by and
glared at his prospective victim. We
all felt sorry for him, but the big man
looked dangerous, even If he was
''three sheets in the wind" and we de-
cided not to interfere.
When the little mans steak came in
he said something to the waiter. Two
minutes later the waiter said some
thing to the big man. It was noticed
that he didn't look quite so fierce after
that, and soon afterward, remarkinp
with assumed carelessness that he
would be back in minute, he left the
room.
Then some of us ventured to suggest
to the'little man that it was a good OPP
portunity for him to skip" which,
considering the discrepancy in size be-
tween him and the man who had forced
a quarrel upon him, would involve no
disgrace.

said he, as coolly as ever, s'but there is
no necessity for that; the other fellow
has run away already.
