White Elephant.


/ know q man named Jack Barnes,
who was married one Thanksgiving
day, writes Howard Fielding in the
Boston Herald His wife had quite
number Of rich relations. One Of them
was in the furniture business His pres
ent was undoubtedly the handsomest OF
all. 1t was a mahogany bedstead big
enough for Mormon elder and carved
In the highest style of the art. The
happy couple were enraptured when
they saw it. The exhibition occurred In
the store of the furniture man, for o.
course such thing couldn't be sent to
the brides fathers house like sugar
spoon in a box. An expressman who
subsequently moved the bedstead told
me that it weighed nine tons, but /
think he exaggerated. Moreover, it was
certainly as massive piece of furniture
as ever | saw. On this account perhaps
the generous donor had been unable tc
sell it and had had it numbering up his
salesroom until he had grown sick of
the sight Of it,
The bridegroom gave directions for
its removal to the Harlem fiat. He then
thanked his wife's uncle for this mag
nifcent gift with tears III his eyes.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes returned
from their wedding journey, they found
the mahogany bed already established
in their fat. They knew 1t was there,
because they were unable to open the
parlor door. The bed was inside, and
there was an alley foot wide all the
way around it between it and the wall.
This may seem improbable to person
who does not know much about New
York flats of the $40 month grade,
but the sophisticated will only wonder
that the bed got in there at all. | am
told that the men who set 1t up had to
climb out of window afterward, but
think this Is an exaggeration, because
the tall, carved bedboard entirely COW
cred the two windows and thus cast a
gloom over the otherwise happy home.
They found the furniture which had
previously been in the parlor divided
between two bedrooms and completely
filling them.
Housekeeping under these circum-
stances was not what this young woman
had been led to expect. In "a hours she
had demanded larger fat. Mr.. Barnes
went fiat hunting. The adventures Of
the Wandering Jew are a mere stroll
compared to those of the fat hunter in
New York. Jack was looking for bed.
room big enough to hold The mahogany
bedstead. He tells me that this piece of
furniture was so big that he could hard
ly carry memorandum of its dimen-
sims in his largest overcoat pocket.

the bachelor, land it's all on account
of two little innocent babies. Two OF
my friends at the Office have recently
been invested with the honor of pater-
| nity-both boys Prouder papas you
! never saw. One of them, Jones, Is an
amateur photographer, and the other

"Of course you know how intelligent
a child of one month looks, continued
the bachelor, stroking his bald head
with the air of connoisseur in infan.
cy, "but the boys i'll the office were
loyal. They swore it was the brightest
looking kid they had ever seen and that
1t was the image Of Jones.
If it had been any one else's child,
Jones would have knocked somebody
down for the insult, but he took it as a
great compliment and stuck the pic
ture up in frame on his desk.
This was too much for Smith-the
other papa He hasn't any camera of
his own, so he got young man who
lives next door to come in and take his
baby's picture, an6 he brought it down
to the office as an opposition to Jones.
Really I'm sorry for Smith If his baby
looks like that picture, but l rather
think the amateur artist libeled the
child and made it the monster it ap-
pears.
1.-THE picture was not focused prop
erly. 1t represents Smith in the back
ground holding on his knee a mammoth
infant nearly as big as he is. The ba-
by's hands are outstretched toward the
camera and look as though they might
belong to Mr.. Fitzsimmons or Mr.. Cor
bett. Smith thought it was beautiful,
and when some one suggested that the
boy looked just exactly like him he or
dered drinks all around and put the pic
ture up on his desk as q further opposi-
ton to Jones'.
EVERY time come into the Office !
have to stop and admire those pictures,

keeping straight face whenever Jones

Resolutions.

The following are the resolutions
adopted by the Sons of Veterans at
their last meeting: .-
WHEREAS, God in his wisdom has
removed from this world of trouble
Arthur r. Hill, near and dear relative
of our worthy brothers Angus, Elmer
and Harry Varney and comrade J. c..
Varney; therefore be it
Resolved, That the members of Gen.
Custer Camp No. SO, Sons of Veterans,
U. S. A., tender to the grief stricken
mother, Mrs. Abbey Varney and our
worthy brothers and comrade our
sympathy, and we bow in sorrow at the
taking away of one so young in years,
feeling that the ripened fruit may be
gathered, it seems cruel that the bud
should be taken before it has even
opportunity to unfold its blossom. But
in nature fruits fall and so do blossoms
and buds. In the ways of kind nature
this is perhaps best, and in taking
from you this young life we will try to
accept the cross and bear it believing
that the bud will yet blossom and bear
fruit in the angel land whittier the
spirit of Arthur has so early flown.

through the liberality Of Messrs. Rines

to the veterans. " A brick retaining

which will be graded and the founda-

all that will be necessary to be done
later will be to erect the shaft. Just
what the monument will be has not
yet been decided. The post, we are
informed, has not enough money to
put UP such monument as the veter-
ans desire but will be obliged to de-
pend largely on people out side the
order. Let your contributions be
generous. It will probably be com
pleted before next Memorial day.

For the past two years he has been

We understand Mr.. Nelson will be at

the people of this city and vicinity will
highly appreciate the opportunity of
having their photos made by him. A

WaterwOrks and Electric Lights.

Owing to an irregularity the bonds
voted for waterworks and electric
lights cannot be disposed of, and a new
election will be necessary. The UNION
will heartily favor new bonds, pro-
vided those who are directly benefited
will agree to take and pay for enough
water and lights to make the plant
self-sustaining. Let a thorough can
vass of the village be made before the
election is held. We are not in favor
of taxing property in the out
skirts of the village for the benefit of
the merchants on Main street and a
few private residences. Those who
would be directly benefited should be
willing to pay for the benefits con-
ferred. There is nothing unreasona-
BILE in this proposition. We believe
the plant can be made self-sustaining
from the start if the proper public
spirit is manifested. But we do not
believe in taxing the many for the
benefit of the few, even if the writer
should be one of the favored few.
