why the Girls Laughed.

All the girls IN Hudsonville, Mich,
have been trying to catch Adrian Van
der Slouis for a long time. Today they
are all laughing at him.
A fair maid of jamestown, Ottawa
county, won him, and they were married
last night. After the blushing bride
had received the congratulations of her
friends she, leaning on the bridegroom's
arm, led the way to supper. The bridal
cake was beautiful thing, covered with
a thick layer of soft sugar and chocolate.
The cake had been too tempting for
the brides little sister, She had helped
herself to quarter section of it, but be-
ing unable to eat it before the wedding
company went into supper, had hidden
it under the table on chair. That was
the chair on which Adrian Van der
Slouis sat, and Adrian Van der Slouis
wore fine lavender trousers. He did
not know that the cake lurked there.
When he arose from the wedding feast
and led the way out of the room the
guests began to laugh. The bride, a
woman of nerve and quick perception,
hurried Adrian and his lavender trousers
into another room. Then with a sponge
she applied gasoline where it would do
the most good and soon all evidences of
the chocolate were removed.
Then the happy couple returned to
their guests. But Adrian was i'll at ease.
Bashful at best, he was damp with per-
spiration and gasoline. He felt he must
Il b
himself, SO he passed around box of
cigars. All the men took one and
lighted them.
Then Adrian Van der Slouis took one,
bit off the end and put the cigar between
his lips. Then he took redheaded sui
phur match and scratched it on his Law
ender trousers. There was a puff, a
blaze, a yell of agony.
''I'm afrel" cried Adrian, clutching
his coat tails.
By way of rendering the promptest as
sistance ali the young women shrieked.
One man seized the water pitcher, an
other ran to the we'll. Only the bride
kept her wits about her. She grabbed
up hairy mat and put out the incipient
confagration.
Adrian's trousers are ruined, and he
ate his breakfast today from the mantel.
But worst of all, the girls who tried to
win him are laughing at him.-NeW

The constitution requires that congress
shall close up its business at noon March
4th. On this account it is quite proba-
bic a session will be held Sunday, it be-
ing by legal fiction held as of Saturday
and being SO shown on the journal. 1t
is hardly the proper thing for a legisla-
tive body to work on Sunday but that
being the last day of a congress the
people are extremely anxious to see ter
minated, the country will not make any
objections to that almost sacred use OF
the day. The old proverb says, "The
better the day the better the deed" and
in this case the proverb is indeed correct.

As the legislature meets next Monday
the senatorial question wakes warmer
daily. That senatorial question may be
a hard one, or it may be easy, according
to circumstances. If a caucus is held,
Dolph will be elected; if it is not, the
result will then depend on the first bal
lot, for if Mr.. Dolph fails in that, he
may as well begin to calculate on taking
up his law practice. 1t will not sur
prise many republicans if the next sena-
tor is "Charley" Fulton. Our own
opinion is that Mr.. Dolph will succeed
himself.

He Has Kept the Party Stirred Up

DENVER, Colo, May 9.-Ex- Con-
gressman Richard P. Bland, of Mis-
souri,, who will lecture in Denver next
Saturday night on "The twenty years
battle for free silver and the fight yet
to come," is resting quietly in this
city, as he is still suffering from the
effects of the grippe. He said to-day:
"I have not heard of the efforts OF
my friends in st. Louis in the way of
securing for me the nomination for
President by the free silver Democrats
in 1896. In fact, do not think that
am the proper man for them to select.
In my public life have never made a
fight to get personal advantage for
myself Especially is this true in the
free silver cause. | have fought for
the cause itself. In doing so / have
made too many enemies among my
Democratic friends for me to be the
available candidate. Rather than try
to make friends and build up for my
self political future, tried to ad-
vance the cause advocated. This made
me less available as candidate than
many others. There are plenty of
good men in the ranks who would
have greater strength than l have. /
have tried to keep the Democrats
stirred up during my terms of Office,
and fear I succeeded little too well
to expect success in a Presidential
canvass"

to-day that twenty counties have SO

ception have declared for free
silver at the ratio of 16 to /. "These
twenty countless" said Mr.. Hinrich-
sen, "have 463 of the 1876 delegates
in the State convention, SO that the
gold men stand very poor show OF
making any fight at all in the conven-
ton. | expect that the State con-
vention will declare for free silver
without 4 dissenting voice"

ing a lively fight. 1t is understood he
will make grand tour of the state,

Stone is great vote getter, and SO is
Vest, for thnt matter II will be an
interesting contest. Both men are
