Getting Married.

In "His Quest of the Golden Girl" Richard Le Galliene, in one of his open. ing chapters says:
 Undoubtedly the incest way to get married is on the sly, and indeed it iz at present becoming quite fashionable. Many young couples of my aoquaint. anoe, who have had no other reason for conoealing the fact beyond their own whim, have thus slipped off without saying word to anybody and .eturned full blown housekeepera, with al home days of their own and everything else like real married pecple-for, as the old lady said to me, You can never be sure of married people nowadays unless you have been at the wedding. , U
 The author then further philosophizes as follows:
 I don't know myself what getting married feels like, but it cannot be much more exciting than watching other people getting married. Indeed, I always get something like palpitation of tie heart just before the priest utters the fual fateful words, 1 declare you man and wife Half a second before you were still free. Half a second after you were bound for the term of your natural fife. Half a second before you had only to dash the book from the priests hands and put your hands oyer his mouth, and though thus giddily swinging on to the brink Of the preei- pice you are saved. Half second aftes "All the king's horses and all the kings mez Cannot make yo', bachelor again.
 Tt is the knife edge moment betwixa hme and eternity.n n

SCOTT'S DEAREST WISH.
Frustrated by the Fatality Attending the
 Boys Who Bore His Name.


 It was Sir Walter Scott's dearest wish to found a house which should carry on the traditions of his great an cestors, who were cadets of the Scotts of Harden, now represented by Baron Polwarth. Scott reared Abbotsford at enormous cost, but there his work be- gan and ended. His eldest son, who suc- oeeded to the baronetcy, survived him only 15 years and died in 1S47, un- married, at the Cape, and so the bar onetcy became extinct. His second son died at faroff Teheran, also unmarried. So the name of Scott was left to his daughter Charlotte, who married Lock- hart, the biographer of Sir Walter Her son, Walter Scott Lockhart, adopted the name of Scott, but, with all the extraor- dinary fatality that had overcome his uncles, he, too died unmarried at the age of 26, and so the estate passed to his sister Charlotte, who married J. K. Hope, @. O., member of the Hopetoun family, and he, of course, adopted the name Scott. They had three children, out their only son died in childhood, oA0 Ouoo aAjeAAn d 0OAa4 S1l1ao eO | o@O' This was Mary Monica.
 In 1874 she married Hon. Joseph Constable Maxwell, third son of Lord Herries, who, as matter of course, adopted the name Scott. They have had six children, the eldest of whom, Wal ter Joseph Maxwell Scott, born in 1875, is in the army. He has two brothers and two sisters living. Mary JosephiHe, who is married, was born in 1876. Thus it will be seen that the present genera tion of Scotts have been in turn Lock. harts, Hopes and MaxweIls These are all excellent names. with honorable his tories behind them, and yet, in str1cI genealogical sequznce, the present gen. eration is very far removed from the au. thor of 'Wayerley "-London Sketch.

 Three young men were sitting to. gether in the rotunda of one of the big hotels They were discussing the prog. ress of invention.
 "It's strange, said one, thow com. pletely old ways of doing things have been superseded You may talk about its being hard to introduce inventions. but if a scheme is any good it'll be uni sersally adopted nowadays in no time. Why, you'll find even middle aged men who remember when everything in use was different There's hardly thing now that's done the same way or by the same appliances as it was when they were young. Why, my uncle can remember the time when every kind of goods was made by hand, and he isn't very old either. It's Imaginable to hear him tell how they used to get along. Everything, it seems, was done about the slowest and hardest way on earth People used to think that they were in the world to work, and it didn't make much difference what they were at. ! tell you, boys, you don't appreciate what it is to live ill these days.

Within the next day or two, however, the bride grew slightly depressed in spirits, and sn uneasy feeling seemed to take pos session of her The young husband no- ticed the change, but attributed it to fatigue from the recent travels. But his bride grew more nervous and took on snoh troubled expression that he said to her:

 At first she tried to persuade him that he was mistaken, that nothing worried her.

 The day following, however, the young wife wore such troubled look that her husband said to her;

 Sure Thing.

Sure Thing.
 Three negroes not long ago made a bet among themselves that each could name a supper that would be better than the others could name. They put up $1 apiece, and the one that named the dishes that would constitute the best supper should take the $3. They drew straws as to which ones should be the first and the last to make up the menu for the imaginary meal. The first man said he couldn't think of anything bet. ter than greens boiled with hog iowl. For side dishes he would take corn bread, souse, black eyed peas, and wash them down with buttermilk. The other two smaeked their lips.

 "It is quite Interesting to be the fa- ther of several growing girls, D said one of a group of family men in the smoker of a suburban car.

 ''I wasn't t thinking of that, ' said the first speaker, but of way they have of taking the wind out of your OWL sails. It never occurred to me until the other morning that 1t was not to see me that young fellows kept dropping in to play cards and make themselves agree able. I tumbled at last, but it was my hunting dog Jack that opened my eyes.
 "Your hunting dog?" echoed the crowd.
 "Yes I had heard of nearly every kind of plan for the communication of lovers except dog. In this case Jack became Cupid's messenger. Those boys borrowed the dog ostensibly to go hunting, but 1 have learned since that they didn't know a gun from a hoe han de. They tied Jack up overnight, and as soon as he got out in the morning he made bee line for home. If I hadn' t seen the corner of a paper sticking from under his collar 1 should never have suspected the eagerness with which these girls tried to head him off from me"
 "He had letter for them?'
 "No, just note asking the privilege Of seeing dear Miss Kate or Miss Sue in the park for walk and chat. Nice idea, employing the dog of the family in a olandestine correspondencel I an swered that note myself, and the two girls haven't spoken to me since.

BURIAL OF SOLDIERS.
Bodies of Fallen Heroes Will Be
Brought Home.

Washington, Oct. Arrangements
are making at the war department to
bring to this country for interment
the bodies Of all the soldiers of the
American army who died in Cuba,
Puerto Rico or the Philippines. Con-
gress made an appropriation of $500, 900
for this purpose, and the execution Of
the law has been placed in the hands
of the quartermaster general of the
army, with instructions to spare no eff
fort or expense. The present plans of
the department contemplate the re-
moval ros the remains of the soldiers
buried in Cuba and Puerto Rico as soon
as the weather gets cold enough to
justify such action. A ship will be
fitted up for the purpose.

the other in shouts of welcome. Amid
all the noisy demonstrations of greet
ing flags and kerchiefs were waved
eXultantly.
THE PARADING HOSTS.
Down Main street, following Grand
Marshal Bruback and aides and the
platoon of police, led by Chief Pratt,
came the regimental band, under the
leadership of Bandmaster Schaffner
Then came the eight companies of in
fantry, under command of Major j. NJ.
Thompson and staff, in all 4S4 men.
The sight of the soldiers in their fight
ing attire and the patriotic music from
the band intensified the enthusiasm of
the unlocking multitudeS. Following
the troops came Helds band, the veter-
ans of the Grand Army of the Republic,
the remnant of the national guard Of
Utah, the University club and men,
berS of the lodge of colored MaSonS.
Next IN line, in carriages, were the
state officials, the mayor and city coun-
.cilmen, the board of education, repre-
sentative colored citizens, civic officials
and prominent personages generally.
TOOK STREET CARS TO THE HOST.
The line Of march was down Main
street to Third South, countermarch to
Second South. and east on Second
South to State street, where a dozen
or more cars Of the Salt Lake City
Railroad company were boarded.
Cheers uOon cheers were shouted for
the soldiers as they wendell their way
eastward. All along Second South
street and uD to Mt. Olivet cemetery
hundreds of people lined the curb to
shout welcome and wave a greeting
to the regiment From every house
step, as the electric cars passed, a hur-
rah was sent forth.
HOME, SWEET HOME"
When the last steep hill was assembled
the regimental band played Home,
Sweet Home" 1t warmed every SOL
dier's heart to hear that grand old tune
as through the mist the barracks be-
came visible. Every face was turned
toward old Fort Douglas-home. Elk
pressions of joy were on every lip, but
regrets for their dead comrades We're
as often heard.
At last, and shortly after the noon
hour, the post was reached. Orders had
been given by Major Thompson to get
the tired, cold, wet and hungry soldiers
under cover Of the barracks as soon as
possible. Without loss of time the men
were marched to their respective com
pany quarters. The heavy burdens

MUSIC BY THE BAND.
AS the officers and the soldiers were
going to quarters, the regimental band
took its position in the band stand and.
played Tennis March," ''Landjigger,'

out on the thick snowy air as a fitting

The gallant Twenty-fourth is home.
The coming of the soldiers was the oc-
casion for demonstrations of joy,
mingled with sorrow-gratificatio that
so many of the heroes of the war had
safely returned, and regret because

Lieutenant Quincy and several more

feed their lives to the cause of liberty
and Cuban independence. No regiment
won more laurels in the late war than
did the Twenty-fourth infantry, and it
was fitting to give the brave colored
boys an enthusiastic welcome on their
return. When. on April 20 last, the
regiment marched from Fort Douglas
to help administer an effectual death
blow to Spanish atrocities on Cuban
soil, the people of Salt Lake City cheer
ed the infantrymen on to victory, and
gave them their blessings, for it was a
righteous cause. But on that chill.
bleak day everyone was aDDrehensive
that all would not be spared their lives,
all would not return. Vacancies have
occurred in the ranks, and the recruits
have filed their places. The home
coming of the laurel-crowned regiment
yesterday was amid a heavy doWnpour
of rain, snow and Sleet from froWning
clouds. The tears from heaven Sancti-
fed the glorious achievement of the
marching heroes. and the dead and
wounded soldiers.
THOUSANDS BRAVED THE STORM.
Every preparation had been made on
Friday to welcome the victorious regi-
ment, and the disappointment in the
delayed arrival was keen indeed. On
Friday everybody in the city would
have participated in the greeting. Yes
terday the welcoming throng was not
small; it numbered nearly 10000 pa
triotic men, women and children, who
braved the wet, chilling storm to do
honor to the nations heroes.
A SPONTANEOUS, PATRIOTIC
GREETING.
The regiment arrived at the Oregon
Short Line depot from New York Fri
day night at 1875 and reposed in the
palatial sleeping cars until morning. In
the morning each soldier had a cup of
coffee, and patiently waited for the
command Forward: march"
At 1920 the command was given, and
the last part of the journey to Fort
Douglas was commenced. Headed by
g platoon of police, the line of march
was taken up on South Temple to Main
street. The paved sidewalk was taken
instead of the muddy street. The thou
sands of citizens at the depot cheered
the infantry as they marched east
ward The cheers increased IN violence
and vigor. The throng Swelled in
numbers from every direction. Soon
were whistles blowing, bells ringing
and salutes fired. At Main street the
street pavement became the line of
march. The street, Notwithstanding
the snow and the rain, was a mass of
humanity. Each seemed to vie with
