TIE WEDDING ZEE.
The Groom and the Justice Got Mixed over

The Groom and the Justice Got Mixed over
1t, but Both Are Now Wiser Men.
A few days since couple from Bur
lington, Vt, visited Plattsburg in search
of q magistrate who would tie the nup.
tial knot. When the marriage ceremony
was over, the groom wanted the Justice
to kiss the bride, saying, Squire, you
kiss her first. " The squire did as no was
requested. The groom asked him how
much his bill was. The squire, highly
elated, said, "Well, young man, seeing
as it is you, will call it e5." "All
right, said the groom, "you have had
a kiss, haven't your" "Yes," said the
squire. "well, then. you give me re.
ceipt, and will give you 50, and that
will make it square"
The Justice hesitated moment and
said, "How do you make that out?"
"Well." said the groom, "you have
married ms, haven't You, and you have
charged me $5?" "Yes. "And you
have taken the first kiss from tho
bride?' "Yes. "Well, | have charged
you SO for it, and that leaves two due
you. Every we'll, =" said the squire,
''if that is SO, l will take the other two
now" and as he was in tho act of kiss
ing the bride again the groom drew off
and gave the Justice left handler that
knocked him to tho floor The result
was that the groom was arrested, and
when arraigned pleaded guilty and was
fined S5 and costs. Both the justice and
the groom have concluded that they arc
better and wiser men than before this
happened. Albany Journal

To keep muslin dresses looking fresh
they should not bo allowed to hang in
closets with wooden dresses or where
the door is opened frequently. A dress
that is kept in a wardrobe divan retains
its sparkling crisp look long after one
that is left hanging in a much used
closet. If you have no wardrobe divan,
lay the skirt in a bureau drawer and
fold the skirt over the top-not at the
bottom. Then put the waist ia dress
box, with all the ribbons and acces-
sories. If bureau drawers are scarce,
there Is still another plan. Buy half a
dozen Of the long dress boxes that dry
goods stores use to hold ready made
gowns when sent home. Put the skirt
and waist into one of these, These
boxes can be piled under the bed OF
lounge, and so kept out Of sight. Even
the dampness that enters aroom through
an open window is sufficient to take the
orispness out Of muslins and organdies,
and they never look as well afterward

ALL OVER SEEDS

secretary Morton Ceases to Distribute
Them, and Now There's Kick.
Washington. Dec. z.-There bids fair
70 be an interesting contest In this
congress as between Secretary OF Agri-
culture Morton and the members who
nave agricultural constituencies, over
the distribution OF seeds. BY virtue of
an opinion rendered last summer by
Attorney General Olney the secretary
has practically done away with the
time-honored system OF gratuities to
the public. He rejected all bids made
Tor furnishing seeds. and in October
last practically abolished the seed d.
vision OF the department. Since his
course was made public members have
been planning to take action to compel
the secretary to carry out the law ac-
cording to their interpretations OF II,
which was made plain In the course of
a long debate on the question by the
last house. In anticipation of the con-
gresisonal request for an explanation.
which was instituted by Mr. Baker OF
New Hampshire to-day. the secretary
or agriculture had printed a circular
explaining his course, which is being
distributed to members. Secretary
Morton has been very plain in his
statements to members. He says he
believes that the seed distribution is
an unconstitutional form Of paternal-
ism. and does not intend to be instru-
mental in 1t II he can help himself.

People are making a great fuss about
young Lord Warkworth, Earl Percy's
son and heir presumptive to the North
cumberland dukedom. He Is called
young Beaconsf1eld." and is the most
promising young politician of the day.
Certainly he speaks admirably. Many
people wonder why the great house Of
Percy takes so little part in public af-
fairs: but the reason has hitherto been
pad health. Every eldest son suffers
from a distressing skin disease, which
excuse the detail-keeps a batch of
maids always employed in the manu-
fracture OF fine linen shirts. This skel-
eton in the family cupboard is said to
date from the middle ages-to be exact.
from Henry Wills days, when the
Percy OF the day was awarded as part
or his plumber. a famous convent of
Benedfcttne nuns, its treasures and
lands. He went TO take possession, but
was confronted by the aged abhess,
who stood at the gates at the head OF
her nuns to defend her own and repel
the invader. The Percy struck her
down. calling her a foul name, which l.
will not repeat, whereupon-so the
story goes-she cursed him and his de-
scendants, predicting that a scourge
from heaven should come upon the
hrst born sons of his house forever uu-p,
TN the land Of the church should be re-
stored and penance done. Romantic.

pleasant one-is indubitable and well
