How . Practical Joker Turned the Tables
!. ON Bevy Of Pretty Girls.
A San Francisco gentleman came to
this city a short time since, and with
his wife quartered at q fashionable
boarding house. They were very jolly
couple, and soon made friends with all
the inmates, among whom were num-
Der Of young ladies. The gentleman
vas, as one Of the young ladies said, ian
awful tease" and took great delight in
playing all sorts Of harmless jokes on
the young ladies, telling the young men
that marriage was q failure and in other
ways endeavoring to keep them out Of
the tolls of matrimony, and, in short,
Keeping up an everlasting "joshing."
The young ladies determined to get
even on him when he went away on the
steamer, SO all went down to see him
and his wife of. Now, although he had
been married to his second wife some
two years, they were a fine-looking
couple, and might easily be taken for {.
newly-wedded pair. To give all the
people on the steamer the idea that they
were just married and starting out OH
their bridal tour was the way the young
ladies planned to get even. They pro-
cured a lot Of rice and poured it in
every crevice about the baggage of the
couple, and in their pockets and among
their wraps, SO that rice dropped from
them at every step.
One OF the young ladies, who was &C.
quainted with the officers of the steam
er, explained the situation to them and
secured their aid in carrying out the
plot, and also a promise that the delu-
sion should be kept up all the way to
San Francisco. They then scattered
rice about the stateroom of the bride
and groom" and all over the deck in
front, and when the go-ashore gong
sounded they just emptied their walls
of rice on the unfortunates and started
ashore.
The man was parnlyzed for a moment,
but, catching on" he said: swell. IL
this is a bridal party it is my duty to
kiss all the ladies'" and he went for
them then and there, and he kissed
them right and left, not hap-hazard,
but squarely on the mouth every time.
with resounding smacks which could
be heard clear up on the wharf. Such an
uproar had not been heard at the steam
er dock since the prerailroad days.
The last to be saluted had escaped
half way down the gangway, but the
bridegroom" rushed down after her,
nearly knocking overheard "the last
man." who was just coming up, and he
kissed her the hardest Of all. '.They
sailed away with the fair young bride"
and the young ladies returned to their
boarding house and have ever since
been trying to decide who the joke was
on.-Portland Oregonian.
