About the Ashes,

Few complaints arc now being made
about the gathering of the ashes by the
contractor. For time there wac trouble
over the locs, paper. S"ne persons in
walking along the street would carelessly
place newspaper on top of barrel Of
ashes. The ow ner of the ashes would be
entirely innocent and yet the teamsters
would refuse to take the ashes and pap.
Or.
In case tie police see where ashes have
been placed on the pavement. contrary to
regulations the officers leave printed cop
ie, OF tho regulations.

TOUGH LUCK.

J. A. Carson and Miss Maud Grams
ton, young couple residing on Koo-
tenai Lake, were married Tuesday un-
der circumstances seldom paralleled in
fiction. The preacher who was to tie
the knot failed to appear at the home
of the bride at the appointed time, SO
the bridal couple and relatives board
ed the steamer Kloudike on her trip
down the Columbia River ITO Bonner's
Ferry, Idaho, having decided to be
married there In passing the missing
preachers ranch, down the river, he
was found prisoner on the roof of
his submerged residence, the valley
having become flooded by sudden rise
of the river He was rescued and TAX
en- aboard the steamer.
While he was changing his wet
clothes the steamer made a brief stop
at Rice's Landing, and two passengers
came aboard with a rough pine coffin
containing the corpse of James Car
ter, who was drowned in the river the
day before. A bulldog also accompan-
led the men. When the preacher came
on deck, wearing suit of Capt. New
mans clothes, the bridal couple an
nounced that they would have the we'd

at some time or other. In three months
of travelling about l saw my trunk
claimed by others at least twenty
times, and / was arrested four differ

mad about the thing that l spent two
days in securing an interview with a
railway magnate at his Office in Lon

to eat oysters, and asked him why he
followed suit, and he was as serious as

ding take place then and there.

The ceremony had proceeded almost
to the point where the preacher was
about to pronounce them husband and
wife when Capt. Newman's dog and the
bulldog got into fight In the midst
of it they upset the coffin, which had
been deposited on couple of kegs. As
it struck the deck the homemade cof
fin burst open, spilling out the corpse.
One glance at the dead mans features
and the bride gave scream and
swooned away in the arms of the
groom, for the corpse was that of a
former lover to whom she had been en-
gagged.
Capt. Newman vouches for the story.

mo American can ever travel on the

the New Yorker who had crossed the
Atlantic a score of times. In the first
place, you've got to play hog if you get
a compartment by yourself, and in the
next its an even question whether you
get your baggage at the end of your
journey. Everything is piled up on the
platform and every passenger must pick
out his own. If you are two minutes

Racbel's protege.

The driver grasped the reins; the horses reareda and
plunged, and the little pencil vender, on one of the
Partisan boulevards, was crushed beneath the wheels
of a arrage-wheels which proved for him veritable
wheels of fortune.
The Jewish Rachel, the greatest ira gedienne of the
nineteenth century, was seatedin her equipage when,
by the carelessness of her driver, the Aforesaid acct
dent occurred. After the excitement which usually
attends such happenings had ceased, she had the
boy, a mere child of sixteen years, lifted into the car
riage and driven homeward.
Rachel was instantly affected by his remarkable
beauty. Dirty and torn though he was, this street
urchin was no ordinary looking child. He had dark
hair which wavered over a perfect brow, in which

repeated promises, to make periodical statements Of
affairs. To this cause, also, can be attributed the
loss of many members.
The sentiment of the grand lodge has always bern
overwhelmingly in favor of keeping faith with the
old members who would now be unable to procure
insurance elsewhere at any price.
That the grand lodge will do what is right admits
Of no doubt. That it has a knotty problem to deal
with is also an undisputed fact.
