FOUR UNHAPPY WOMEN.-Mary
Queen of Scots, was most unhappy
woman, wasn't she?" inquired thin
man of a friend on Woodward avenue
car the other day.
"Irdeed she was" replied the other
earnestly.
"Queen Elizabeth was also wretch
ed creature, wasn't she?"
every wretched, should say, il
history is to be believed"
"Then there was Catharine-"
"What are you driving at, any.
way?"
81 was just about to remark" con-
tinued the thin man, "that the name
of the unhappiest woman in this world
does not appear in history. Now I've
a sister-in law named Martha Tabbs
and just at present she is the most
wretched woman on the face of the
EARTH"
"What is the matter with her
chills? ?"
"No-"
"Lumbago ?' broke in the other.
"No; but you see, last week hel
husband bought her a $50 bonnet"
"And I suppose the $40 bonnet
made her more unhappy than Mary
Queen of Scots was, when she discov
cred that her neighbor had one thai
cost $50.
"That was not it at all. She was
happy as bobolink in June meadow
until she tripped and fell going up the
front steps and fractured her skull
She is now lying in bed unable tc
wear the hat, and by the time she car
wear it, it will probably be out O
fashion. I tell you it is sad to watcf
her looking tearfdlly at that bonnet
which she has had adjusted to a bee
post. Talk about the unhappy womer
of history. Why, she is more unhappy
than any 10 of them put together"

A PRACTICAL JUDGE.

"When Senator Sanders, of Mon.
tana, first settled in the wilds of the
then halfcivilized west," said one Of
the Ohio delegates enroute to Mime
apolis, to a Chicago Mail reporter, "he
was about the only well-educated man
in the state. The miners and cow
boys recognized that fact, and elected
him judge. In that capacity he soon
became terror TO evil-does, as he in.
variably imposed the heaviest sentence
prescribed by law.
"On one occasion a border ruffian
was brought before him on charge Of
assault and battery, entered plea Of
guilty, and was fined $40. The fellow
had a dangerous gleam in his eye as
he shambled forward, pulled a bag
from his pocket, took from it two dou.
bic eagles, and laid them on the bar
before Judge Sanders.
"The judge showed one of the coins
across the counter, remarking, you've
made mistake, Your fine is $40.
"'I know what my fine is,' growled
the thug. And 1 understand what
I'm doing. See L? If it costs 500 to
whip a man in this court it's cheap
enough, and I'm willing to pay for the
fun. Just keep the other 20, judge
I'm going to thrash another man."
every we'll, sir quietly said Sanders,
putting the coins into drawer and
turning the key.
"And you're the man I'm going to
lick" continued the pugilistic prison
er, addressing the court.
"'As you please, SIR was the calm
response, as Sanders stepped from the
bench.
"The fellow made a most savage
onslaught upon the judge, but San
ders ducked, and before his antagonist
could recover his equilibrium he re-
ceived a blow on the jugular which
sent him spinning half way across the
room, where he fell as limp as rag.
"Two minutes later the erstwhile
terror scrambled to his feet, looked
about the room in a dazed manner,
and slowly staggered toward the door.
"'Here, sirp thundered Sanders,
who had resumed his place upon the
bench. Come heren
"The thug obeyed. Sanders slowly
counted out $3.50, and showed it
across the bar. There's your change,
he remarked, gravely. you didn't
commit assault and battery. Under
the circumstances, I do not feel justi-
fed in asking you to pay anything for
your part of this performance. OF
course, I am compelled to charge you
for the actual time l have lost. Good
afternoon. Call the next case

A Most Sensible Idea.

1t has been customary for several
years for the teachers Of the Graded
School to give their pupils gifts Of can
dy and fruits at Christmas, but this
year Miss Bette Byers and Mrs. Ida
Neill gave the pupils Of their rooms
the choice between candies and maya
zines for the coming year. The pupils
were delighted and readily voted for
magazines. We commend this choice,
even if it does cost more. The pupils
are now trying to collect library and
cabinet for the school and have already
made good progress. Shelves have
been put up as receptacle for the col
lection. VIII not patrons and friends
of the school help them in this under
taking? Nearly every family has old
books about their homes that have
been thrown aside as useless. These
would be gladly received.

The Wedding Bells Are Ringing.

The marriage OF Miss Ida a. Ihomp-
son, the youngest daughter of Mrs,
David Thompson, and Mr.. ]. 10y
Hoager, of Shepherdstown, was quiet
ly solemnized yesterday at $50 P. m,
at the home of the brides mother, near
Kearneysville. The ceremony was per-
formed by Elder E. V. White, of Lees
burg, Va, in the presence of the i'm
mediate families of the contracting par
ties. The bride was attired in white
cashmere trimmed with lace and rib
bon, and carried bride roses. She was
attended by her little niece, 0na May
Thompson, in blue, who acted as flow
er girl.
The parlors, which were tastefully
decorated with potted plants and ferns,
made a beautiful and imposing appear
ance. The wedding march was skill
fully rendered by Miss Halle Dorsey,
of Berryville, Va. After the cere-
mony the bridal party and guests re-
tired to the dining-room, where re-
freshments were served. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoaper afterwards drove to Shenan-
doah Junction, where they took the
train for a trip to the eastern cities.
Miss Nora Keesecker, daughter Of
Mr.. John H. Keesecker, and Mr..
Charles F. Kruger, both Of Shepherds
town, were married last night. The
announcement of the wedding caused
great surprise, as few persons knew
that the happy event was to take place
until after the ceremony was over.
A little before seven o'clock the couple
were driven to the Reformed parson-
age, where, in the presence Of a few
relatives and friends, Rev. G. G. Ey-
erhart tied the nuptial knot. After
the wedding supper was served at
the home of the groom. The bride Is
one of Shepherdstown's most attractive
young ladies. Mr.. Kruger formerly
resided in Toledo, Ohio, but has lived
here about a year and half. We
tender to Mr.. and Mrs. Kruger our
best wishes for their future happiness.
Mr.. Adrian W. Billmyer and Miss
Mary Z. Rush, two well known and
popular young persons of this vicinity,
were married yesterday evening at
the home Of the brides father, Mr..
Jacob Rush, near Snyder's Mills. The
wedding was a quiet one, only a few
of the relatives of the parties being
present. Rev. DR.. Charles Ghiselin
performed the ceremony. Mr.. Mason
Rush and Miss Katie McQuilkin were
the attendants. The bride received
a large number of useful and valuable
presents, including bank bills. I'm
mediately after the ceremony the
newly-married couple drove to Mar
tinsburg, where they took the train
for a bridal trip to Washington. We
wish them great happiness.
There were two other weddings in
Berkeley county yesterday-Mr Ben
iamin a. Couchman and Miss Jennie
F. Small, and Mr.. Calvin E. Lemaster
and Miss Matte Bowers.
