A Fin de siecle Wedding.

The guests had arrived; the preacher had
put on solemn look; the wedding cake
had been placed upon the table. and every
thing was in readiness for the ceremony.
The bride-to-be was pale, but beautiful,
and there was a wistful, eager look in her
liquid eyes. She nervously tapped one of
her dainty feet upon the aoor, and ever and
anon she sighed a tremulous sigh
The prospective groom stood at the side OF
the woman he loved. Ah, he, too, was
beautiful! But it needed no trained eye to
discover that he was impatient. His breath
came in quick, uneven gasps, and he casped
and nnclasped his hands continuously.
Why did they waltz What mysterious spell
was upon them and holding them backe
The guests cast in curing chances at one
another, and occasionally shook their
heads. The preacher yawned :. the clock
upon the mantel licked and licked and
licked, and still they waited.
The situation was becoming embarrassing.
The bride bit her lips and the groom seemed
to be about to say something. when sudden
ly the sound Of hurry1ng feet was heard. In
another second breathless messenger
had burst into the room with telegram an
nouncing that the BRIDE petition for di-
vorce had just been granted.

the persistency with which one of her
scholars plays truant. She was on the point
of reporting his case, when she spoke to one

Situated on the east side of the great
Snake river and about midway between
the crossing of the Snake by
the Oregon Short Line and
the confluence Of Salmon and
Snake rivers, is the world renowned
Seven Devils mining region. 1t has
been known for years that there were
immense bodies of high grade copper
ore there, but on account of the iso-
lated position of the camp, the mines
could not be worked with profit. Now
the progress of electricity and other
mechanical arts is increasing the de.
mand for copper to such a marked de-
gree that capitalists and railroad pro-
moters have decided to penetrate this
region, which has hitherto only been
accessible by fair wagon road. There
