On the bridal tour Now that city is fur
nished with many charming spots which
delight the eyes of women; shady hooks,
wherein are hung unlimited bonnets; quiet
retreats wherein are spread gauzes and
silks and satins and a thousand other
choice and attractive articles. Hardly had
they refreshed the inner man and woman
at their hotel when the newly made wife
turned to her husband and remarked:
my dear, I would like to go shopping"
"But, my love-" responded the prophet,
81 can't go now. There's a delegation from
the newspapers waiting to find out what
kind of weather shall predict for tomor-

honeymoon days.
"And I'll have to carry the umbrella my
SELF" said the bride.
But my DEAR" suggested the Prophet;
eff remember my predictions for today
you need not carry an umbrella"
'Well, we'll, what kind of weather have
you predicted for today?"
Then he took up the paper again and
read:
"For the middle states-The region of
barometrical pressure will fuctuate; cooler
north and west winds, high barometer

ward; cooler, clear and cloudy weather;
possibly rain near the lakes"

the newspaper on the table.

into English?" asked the Prophets wife,

"why, wayfaring man, though a fool,
could understand that"
Exactly" responded she; but it's a
wayfaring woman who isn't fool who
desires to understand it, Does it mean
that can go out safely without taking an
umbrella with me?"
"Yes, my DEAR" responded he; ''in fact
l would much prefer to have you leave
your umbrella at home If you should
take an umbrella with you it would hui
initiate me very much. Everybody in this
the chief city of Aniceland, has gone out
today without an umbrella on the strength
of my predictions, and it would cover me
with ridicule if my wife should carry one. y
every WE'LL" said the Prophets wife
"I'll go out without an umbrella, but beal
