an Umbrella.


an Umbrella.
This is the true story Of how a newly
married couple, who spent part of their
honeymoon as So many bridal couples do,
were given away This couple was mar
ried in Richmond. va.,i little more than
two weeks ago. The wedding was a swell
affair, numerous friends of the bride and
groom being present at the home of the
brides parents to witness the ceremony.
Among those who attended and who was
an usher at the wedding was fine-looking
young man, connected with Baltimore
paper One Of the wedding presents to the
groom was q handsome silk umbrella,
which was exhibited IN evident pride by
the recipient. 1t was really fine piece OF
workmanship. In an unguarded moment
the owner left it where the usher and a
young lady, who is full of fun as himself.
found 1t.
The two stole the umbrella and distrbut-
ed handful of rice in its folds on the in
side. The grains were so carefully dis
tributed that when it was returned to the
place where 1t was found nobody would
have imagined 1t was loaded"
1t was, though, as the bride and groom
found out later to their discontinue. They
came to Washington ON their wedding
trip, and like all couples under similar cir
concealed all evidences of being new
votaries OF hymen. All went merry as
marriage bell until one fatal morning. The
two went down the avenue for a walk.
Finding the sun rather warm the groom
CALAMITY put up the umbrella.
their clothes with whiteness and their
countenances with confusion. They hur-
ried to their hotel and packed their things,
leaving that afternoon for Baltimore.

Humors of Jury Choosing.


From the Troy Times.
1t is one of the singular condolences Of
life that comedy is often closely allied to
tragedy. murder trial frequently de-
velops more humorous situations and witty
encounters than any other kind of court
case. An illustration is furnished in the
trial at Batavia, n. Y, Of Howard Ben
ham, accused of killing his wife. The law
yers had fun in examining jurors. Leo
nard Demuth, No. 49," called the clerk.
Mr.. Mackey one of the counsel, eyed the
talesman with suspicion when he came
into the witness box. mo. 10 and Fri
day." unused Mr.. Mackey; II guess we
don't want him. and Mr.. Demuth was al
lowed to go without much questioning.
August Rhody, a shoemaker from Elba,
was the comedian Of the days session.
Here is a sketch from the dialogue between
Mr.. Mackey and the shoemaker: Are you
opposed to the death penalty?" Il don't
know dat" What is the method of in
hicting the death penalty in this state?'
mo, sir" "You don't understand me. How
is the death penalty administered in this
state?" oh you man how day vas
killed." Yes" Ply electric light You
mean when the light goes out?" Yes,
it, or are you not?' Yes. sir" BY Judge
Laughlin-"I guess you are opposed to
everything you don't know anything
about Eyes, OATS it, and the talesman
from Elha walked away smiling. Attorney
Mackey struck a tartar later. John Mahr
shreWd old gentleman, was on the stand.
Mr.. Mackey was asking him about his ac-
quaintance with IF. Townsend. 81 don't
have m2eh .rse for DOCTORS" said the old
nan. You don't?" said Mr. Mackey You
are fortunate" Nor for lawyers, either"
added the old . gentleman, and the
whole court room burst into a roar of
laughter. 1t is tos be hoped the trial will
not be so funny that the solemn business
In hand will be overlooked

Very Young Drunkard.
From the Boston Herald
The youngest drunkard, it is hoped in
the world has just been brought before a
London magistrate, along with his I'M
natural maternal relative. This drunk
ard was aged two Years, and, according
to the evidence, did not really love liquor.
but was forced to imbibe for sociable rea-
sons. AS the mother drank to intoxica-
ton. she wished that her baby boy should
share the beer. even at the peril of his
life. This good lady was sentenced to
twelve months imprisonment and the poor
little fellow, who smelt of beer and wob-
bled so he couldn't sit up, was then taken
to the workhouse. to be given a sort of
Kelley cure Of milk.
