THE PAGES DIFFICULTY.
An Amusing Incident at q Georgia
Church Wedding-A H0rrified
Mamma.

A good story comes from Atlanta,
but the incident happened several sea-
sons ago. The occasion was a swell
church wedding. The edifice had been
gloriously decorated. The bride, sur
rounded by company OF pages, flower
girls and maids of honor, were slowly
passing down the aisle, while the pros
pective bridegroom and his best man
and the officiating clergyman were
taking their places. The church organ
was pealing forth the sounds of joyous
wedding bells. Fashionable people
dressed for the occasion occupied the
seats of the handsome church.
1t SO happened that one of the pages
had in the rush of business preparatory
to dressing for the occasion been turned
over to the care of a nurse. As he pro-
ceeded down the main aisle of the
church in company with the other
youngsters. who, in white satin suits,
were doing the honors of each respective
household. he suddenly espied his
mother seated in one of the pews.
AT this point the organist began play
ing softly as the wedding party passed
to the altar. Then, above the gentle
strains of music, clear as bird, could
be heard the voice of the aforesaid
small boy: Mamma" he shrilly cried,
nurse put on my panties wrong side
before. and can't hardly walk
OF course, the Mortified mamma could
do rothing but blush scarlet. but Lifted
prayer to heaven that the young scion
would keep still from that time on.
And he did and received hearty kiss
from the bride as the close of the cercs-

The Cxar,s Bison.

The invitation which the car of Rus.
STA is said to have extended to En-
peror William to join him in a bison
hunt in the imperial preserves of Lith-
uana emphasizes the fact that there are
more of these splendid animals in this
carefully protected forest than survive
in the whole United States. The differ
ence between the European and Ameri-
ian bison is slight. The European va
riety is slightly larger, with longer legs
ard sharper horns. That Kaiser Will
helm will have exciting sport if he ac-
cepts the invitation may be judged by
the fact that an old bull bison can at
single rush uproot and overthrow a
tree six inches in diameter. OF the Amer
lean bison there are believed to be not
more than 200 in existence. Buffalo"

THE BETTER TIME.

Could young days last for all our time.
And change and chance be clever,
Could what we have keep pure and prime,
Nor fade our fortunes ever;
Could joys that once like summer smiled
Still every burden tighten,
And lovely scenes, that once begutleo,
Along our way yet brighten;
Could budding hopes in beauty bloom,
Ere comes the time of dotage.
Could every stalk, with tasseled plume,
But have an ample fruitage;
Could all the seasons bring us good
And only good be given,
1t we'll might then be understood.
That here on earth is Heaven.
But this we know can never be.
The fact needs only stating.
For even blinded eyes can see
The need we have of waiting:
The happy birds In early spring,
Back from the south come fiyings
But soon again are on the wing,
And summer time is dying;
"A little while, with softened skies.
The earth grows warm and mellow.
And then the beauty fades and dies
And flowers and fields are yellow;
"A little while and we are blessed,
And every joy has greeting.
But soon. with grief and care oppressed.
We find that all is fieeting.
And so the seasons onward run,
And here is much of sorrow,
Our hopes must wait 1.-The world to come,
And blossom there tomorrow;
Tomorrow, that glad day and wide
With bliss and blessing crowded,
And peace and joy on every side,
Shall never be beclouded
There all our hopes, on lofty wing,
Shall rise from deaths dark portal,
Exulting with delight to sing
The glorious song immortal;
No blighting frosts shall chill that day,
Nor chimes nor changes sever,
The friends that there, enrapt, shall stay.
Forever and forever.

publican.

THICK SoLED BOOTS.
Some with Three, Some with Five
Soles, Worn by Marketmen
and Others.

The description double-soled woulc
doubtless convey to most minds the idea
of the thickest-soled shoe or boot there
is, but, as matter of fact, there are
made boots with five soles, making al
together sole an inch or more in thick
ness. Such boots are worn by market
men, as, for instance, in Fulton fish
market in this city.
There the floor in business hours is al
ways wet. Great quantities of fish are
constantly being handled. Excepting
those frozen in winter, the fishes that
come in boxes are packed in ice. They
are always packing fishes here for ship
ment to the great number of interior
points, away from the coast, that draw
their supplies of saltwater fishes, and
fresh-water fishes, too, for that mat
ter, from New York, and the fishes
shipped are packed in ice. They seem
to be forever chopping ice here, and
there are fragments of ice scattered
around and melting, and there's con-
slant dripping, more or less, from the
many ice-packed boxes handled; and
they're always washing down some
where to keep the market clean. So that
in business hours the floor is always
wet.
The marketman moves about for
hours on the wet floor, and to keep his
feet dry he wears, it may be, rubber
boots or the five-soled marketman's
boot, whose sole is thick enough to raise
his feet clear off the floor sufficiently
to keep them dry. Into the bootleg. a
convenient place to carry it, he tucks,
when it is not in use, the handle OF
the Ratchet which he uses in opening
or mailing up boxes of fish.
There is three-soled boot that is
sometimes worn by bookkeepers in the
market, who might have occasion to
leave the Office and GO out on the mar
ket floor to look after receipts and
shipments. Five-soled and three-soled
boots are worn also more or less by
smackmen and by men on shore in va
rious occupations besides marketmen
They are worn by men working in big
refrigerators and in cold storage ware
houses, and in abattoirs. Truckmen
wear three-soled boots in winter, put
ting them on in November and wearing
them till spring, to protect their feet
from rain and slush and snow.
AS compared with shoes and boots OF
the ordinary kinds, the number OF
three-soled boots sold is small; but such
BOOTS are, nevertheless, articles of reg
ular and steady use.-N. Y. Sun.
