WHEELING REGISTER SUNDAY, APRIL 10, 1896.

to the little fox terrier and hid a quaint
little bottle in the collar OF the jewels
that was about his neck. That same
day the princess heard that a beautiful
youth. who was of no standing, had been
found dead in the street. Then she per-
mitted her maids to dress her for her
wedding. And the little dog asked her
if she were going to be unfaithful. And
she locked at him as dogs look at wo-
men, nowadays. When they fetched
her into the temple in all her bridal
fnery and left her alone to pray, she
took from one of the gorgeous Jeweled
pockets that swung at her side the little
bottle that her lover had sent her.
And she swallowed its contents. They
came to look for the bride, but they
found dead maiden, while beside her
was little dog crying as If his heart
would break. And her wicked father
called the curse on him, and said that,
from that day on until the end OF the
world no dog should speak except
through his eyes. And if you have bit
of doubt about this story, you need only
some day when you are in trouble, and a
little dog who is fond OF you and whom
you love is near you, look at him and
he will say all that friend could say,
but it will be with his eyes True? OF
course it is true. If you have any doubt
at all about it, that is any further doubt,
you need only go to small village four
hundred miles from Calcutta and the
truth will be sworn to by several priests
in the temple there. And when the cler-
gy swear to anything it must be true.
Even truer when women announce GER
tain facts as truths. But this is enough
about dogs. Let us return to women.
WEDDINGS AND HONEYMOONS.
Talking about weddings always sug-
gest honeymoons, and talking about
honeymoons reminds me OF something
heard the other day 1t was told by
a Frenchman who said he had thought
it out and boiled it down, and to me it
did seem very clever. 1t was the sum
of his experience in regard to women
of different nations. OF them, he had
concluded that the Frenchwoman loves
until the end of the honeymoon, the
English woman her whole life, and the
German woman, forever The French
woman takes her daughter to a ball,
the English woman takes her daughter
to church, while the German woman
teaches her to cook, how to control her
kitchen and how to make home. The
French woman, it seems to him, had
imagination and vivacity, the English
woman very little taste and great stu
pidity, while the German woman pos
sessed modesty! He said the French
woman chats, the English woman
speaks, the German woman renders de-
cisions. When the Spanish woman is
jealous, she kills her lover; the French
woman, with dignity, denounces both
and gives up the man. But all women,
at some time or other marry. His ac-
quaintance with the American woman
was slight. Taking up his line of
thought, should say that she is more
like the French woman than any other.
Sometimes, however, she has little of
the stupidity of the English woman,
since she is Of the same blood, but in
the fascinating dignity that is to be
encouraged. The American woman
has no lovers after marriage, so she sell
dom commits a murder, but she mar
ries, not so much because she loves the
man as because the man loves her and
refuses to take mo" for an answer.
Then, too, it is the fashion just now
to marry. 1t always is in the early
spring months and in June. Later on
the bachelor girl has her innings. 1t
would seem as if everything in life
was a matter of seasons since love max
ing is guided by the ruling star. At
least, l suppose it is the ruling star,
though / have no knowledge whatever
of astrology. The only astrologer l
ever met charged two dollars, and said
that the star over me caused me to lose
many things. Ever since then | have
been believer in the science, for |
could employ two able bodied men to
go through the town every day ringing
bells and announcing my losings; but
have not as yet, and I shall not as long
as the newspaper remains the great
power that it is, and one can put in
an advertisement for a dollar and
eighty-one cents; an advertisement in
which is described all the fine points
and accomplishments to the dog lost
by Bah.
