NOT TO BE IGNORED.
A Decidedly Unique Yarn About n
Bridal Couple.

A Decidedly Unique Yarn About n
Bridal Couple.
They boarded the train at Decatur,
and every passenger In the car instant
ly spotted them for bridal couple. By
common consent no one paid any atten-
tion to them after the first glance.
They were hardly seated before they
clasped hands, but when they slyly
looked around no one was gazing at
them. Pretty soon the bride dropped
her head on the groom's shoulder. His
face took on tender smile, and he
glanced around EXPECTING to see half a
dozen grinning faces. No one grin
ned. BY and by he put his arm around
her, but the action passed unnoticed.
At the end of an hour the bride began
to weep, and it could plainly be per-
ceived that the groom was indignant.
He choked back his feelings for time,
around the car and said:
'Ladies and gentlemen, we are O
bridal couple"
The passengers looked up Indifferent
ly and then looked away.
1--WE were married at 0 o'clock this
morning" continued the groom.
No one took any interest
Look here, now. but / want to know
what ails this crowd!' he demanded
as the red spread clear around his
neck. "As l said, we are a newly mar
ried couple. No one paid us any atten-
ton, however, as we came in, and no.
body seems to care 2 cents about US
now. Here Is the bride She's as good
as they make 'em. l want every man
in this car to come up and salute her
with kiss. The feller who won't do
1t has got to fight Ine!''
He pulled off his coat. spat on his
hands and doubled up fist like ham.
He looked dangerous, and 1t was plain
that he meant what he said. A drum
mer from Boston was the first man to
rise up and go over and smack the
bride on the cheek, and he was follow
ed by all the others. When the last one
had returned TO his seat, the groom put
ON his coat and said:
There, that's all right. This girl
and courted for seven long years, got
married at last in thunderstorm, and
we haven't got but $50 for a bridal
tour and to set up in housekeeping, but
we propose to let folks know we are on
earth just the same. Now, then, we
are going to squeeze hands and hug,
and the more giggling hear the better
shall like itp' Nj. QUAD.

To Being Evicted From Star
Chamber Session.
Commissioner McMiIIen Had to Give
1t Up,

It Up,
There was an exciting. time at the
Office of the City Commissioners yes
terday afternoon.
The Commissioners were in session
as City Board of elections, and there
were a number of citizens in the office
City Commissioner McMillen an
nounced that he wanted all the citizens
to leave the room as he had something
he wanted to say to the Board in pri
vate.
All present but Col. Sawyer retired
Mr.. McNIillen repeated his statement
that he had something to tell the
Lcard, and he hoped that everybody
would get out. Thereupon he stared
at Col. Sawyer in manner indicating
that he thought it would be necessary
to nave brick house fall upon him
before he would take the hint.
After he had waited few moments,
Mr.. McMillen advanced to tho Colonel
took him by the arm, and tried to re.
move him from the room by force.
Mr.. Sawyer resisted and asked:
Does what you have to say pertain
to your work as City commissioner"
1T does.''
WELL" was the reply, 81 am res.
ident of Akron; pay taxes to support
Akron's government and the City Com
missioner system, and don't believe
any City Commissioner should have
anything to say pertaining to public
business that a taxpayer has not q
right to hear. think IN stay"
This rejoinder was surprise to Mr..
McMillen, and again he attempted to
evict Mr.. Sawyer by force.
At this iuncture, Commissioner Nc
Garry interfered by telling Mr.. Saw
yer to remain and he indicated that IL
the Colonel needed any help it would
be forthcoming.
Rather crestfallen, Commissioner
McMillen decided that he would make
no further attempts to evict taxpay
ers from public property that day.
"The Republican County Commits
sioners tell the people to keep off the
grass and the Republican City Com
missioners tell them to keep out of the
City Hall," said Mr., Sawyer today.
The lot of the Akron taxpayer is a
hard one"
