WOULD NOT KISS THE BRIDE.


Congressman Cousins Was Too Modest to
Act as Best Nan at Wedding.
One Of the most modest members of
congress is "Bob'' Cousins, of Iowa.
1t is told that not many sessions AFRO
Mr.. Mercer, member from Nebraska
still in the house, married Il young lay
well known in Wash: ngton. InasH.u.il
as Cousins is an intimate friend OF
MERGERS, says the Troy Times, bot
being born in Iowa, the latter thought
it would be an excellent idea to ha"c
Cousins act as best man ut the VEL
ding. Bob consented. The ceremony
occurred. After it was over the m;a-

ditto. The bride, surprising the best
man would be glad Of n similar courtesy
extended to him, puckered up her lips
to Fob in order that he might avail
himself Of the opportunity so Ora iyus-
~ extended to him. When Mr.. Cousins
realized what was expected of him in
the premises he gave one look at IT,"
bride, turned so red that even the dari--
est corner Of the church became as light
as MONDAY, boltcd down the aisi" AID
out OF the church, leaving the bride
in rather an embarrassed state Of mind
to say nothing Of the mingled fccI'n"g,
Of surprise and bcw;ldcrmcnt of the
other members Of the bridal party and
friends. Both Mercer and Cousins are
in the present congress, but the latter
had rather talk on almost any subject
than on certain incidents connected
with the wedding of the gentleman
from Nebraska.

A VALUABLE RAT. THIS.

It is q wcll-!inown fact that rats and
mice do not IL fest house ut the same
time. Working upon this hint as to
the nature OF rodents, n. X. Laurcson,
of VIC. .sburg, has adopted scheme
by which he keeps himself rid of both
pests. This he accompllshes, says the
Philadelphia Times, by capturing
"oung ra: and training him to catch
mice. This singular mouser, whose
name, by the way, is Car, is doubtless
the most successful one on record. lie
has been taught to pounce upon
mouse on short order, without fear and
without favor, and he shows no mercy.
OF course, he can follow the mice into
close quarters, and never has been
known to lose his quarry. Strange
to relate, large rats have given the
house the go-by also, seeming to under
stand that the place belongs to Car,
and that there must be no encroach-
ment upon his prerogative.
Laurcson is very fond OF his queer
yet. and has taught him many interest
ing tricks. Among others he has
trained him to handle bow, and with
Il miniature violin Car manages to
scrnTc the strings in n way that is not
unmua:cal. OF course it has been i'm
possible to teach him really to play
piece. hut sitting up on his hind legs,
with his fiddle grasped in his tiny claws,
Gar produces n sort of half-screcching
sound that is altogether weird and
fantastic. Laurcson is himself vio-
lirist Of TO mean order, and Car likes
nothing better than to sit on his mas
ter's knee and listen to his playing.
