Yet another story Of the hardships
Of young married couple IL told.
Every couple when first married that
is possessed of friends. has to run the
gauntlet of rice and such other relics of
bygone ages as the friends can devise.
This couple lived in the town OF
Madison, and it was their intention to
drive TO Waterville distance of %
miles after the ceremony and take the
east bound Pullman train. All was
well until il was time to start and then
a part of the horses harness was found
missing. II was the team of a young
gentleman friend who was to take his
own lady love with him for company
on the return home. After the harness
was found part of the carriage was
missing, but finally they were on their
way.
Friends from Skowhegan and Nor
ridgewock planned to intercept the
couple which they did in excellent
form. 1t was in the late hours of the
night and the team must pass across
the toll bridge. A barrier was erected
in the bridge and all the electric lights
turned off in the covered bridge. Then
a lantern was hung in front of the sign
on the barrier of, Danger, No Cross
ing"
The carriage containing the four peo-
pie was driven into the bridge and it
had begun raining so that the noise of
the serenaders was drowned. They
slipped out behind the carriage and
pasted four sheets of sticky fly paper
upon the back, bearing such sweet say
ings as Jane and | are Just Married"
ION Our Honeymoon" etc. Then they
tied two old shoes to the axle. BY this
time the barrier was reached and the
carriage load paused for reflections.
The friends could not longer contain
themselves and they broke cover and
pelted the occupants of the carriage
with rice
The driver seeing through the trick
grasped the lantern and started his
horse and escaped from the crowd of
pursuers.
The next morning in the Waterville
stable, the stable keeper notified the
young man who drove the team, of the
placardS on the back of the team and
the joke was on this young man, as
badly as on the married couple, for the
stable keeper and his helpers could not
be made to believe that the said pla-
cards We're not meant for the young
man, in spite of his vigorous assertions

thee, O Jerusalem' How often would burning tears
course down his hollow cheeks as he watched the
moon rise in solemn splendor and float majestically
over the vast expanse!
Frequently, at set of sun, yelled woman en-
veloped in thick bernouse would take her evening
walk in the garden, and on these occasions her
glances fell with than friendly sympathy
upon the slave who bowed profoundly before his
mistress. One cloudless moonlight night, the un-

gazing heavenward, his lips moving in silent prayer
Suddenly warm, soft hand was laid upon his
shoulder, and turning around, he saw the Turkish
woman at his side.

gentleman from Philadelphia met me at

$600,0 for the purchase of the Anacostia

at the Columbia Theatre the bill will be
shifted to romantic drama, and Paul Gill
more will make his first local appearance
as D'Artagnan in Paul Kester's version of

by that title sans the numerical adjective.
Mr. Kester is the young man whose play,
What Dreams May Come, attracted SO
much attention locally when it was pre-
sented by Madame Janauschek, and his
adaptation of Dumas story is said to be
excellent. Mr.. Gilmore will be supported
in his work by what is supposedly an ad-
mirable company, Mrs. Salvini having been
engaged to impersonate Constance.
Monday night will be made notable at
the Lafayette by Julia Marlowes produc-
tion of her, last years success, The Coun-
tess Valeska." This powerful offering will
be given on the first three nights of the
week and at the Saturday matinee, LAS
