Victims Didn't Appear.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
On one Of the hottest days in June, as the
train was crawling through the sands Of
Michigan and the passengers Of a partially
filled coach were about half asleep, the
newsboy and the few new arrivals having
lost all charm, the train slowly pulled into
a little depot and a fresh young girl sprang
aboard with a ten-pound bag of rice in her
hands She at once began to dole it cut to
the sleepy passengers, saying to each:
Look out for the bride and groom at the
next Station!'
Instantly the car woke up and entered
into the fun. and the young woman came
down the aisle she gave two placards int o
the hands of the passengers; then, as the
train began to move again, rushed to the
door and barely caught the platform
The placards, which read, We're lust
married. and Were SO happy" brushed
away the last vestige of sleep from tie pas
sengers. They were one family at once and
began activities. 1t was the work of only
a few moments to turn over seats and az
range double seat in the middle OF the car
for the bride and groom they proposed to
entertain, and the placards were hung IN a
conspicuous place on the parcel racks Then
every other seat in the car was occupied by
at least one passenger. who sat at the out
er end. eagerly clutching his handful of rice
and wearing smile of welcome, anxiousiy

slowed up and the occupants of the car
arose to man to receive their gucsts-and
they never showed up.

Lieut. Col Hugh l.. Scott of the United

9TH Cavalry. is known in the army as an
officer who probably knows more about
Indian sign language than any other living
man. At one time Col. Scott made a stand
ing offer of 81 to any redskin who could
show him a sign Ssed by any tribe which
he did not know. The colonel is also ne
culiarly absent minded, a fact which was
emphasized at his marriage a few wears
ago.
AS he stood at the altar with his bride
the officiating clergyman asked him the
usual question as to taking the woman he

two hngers upon his left eyebrow After
an embarrassing pause the clergyman re-
