Concerning Some Things.

Fable Showing Wisdom of silence
Concerning Some Things.
Once upon time there came into the
city from the country girl. The girl
wandered from her happy home to Sc
cure employment among the wealthy
families Of the city, and when she
made known the fact that she was
willing to work many persons sought
her and implored her to engage with
them in domestic pursuits. The girl
was overwhelmed with offers, but final
ly made selection ana settled in q
family that valued her services very
highly. The girl was happy until one
day her employer met neighbor, a
very dear friend, and told her of her
good fortune in finding the country
girl. And this neigh5or met another
very dear friend and told her of her
other friends good luck, and thus did
it become generally known that there
was n good "hired girl" in the neigh
borhood.
And from that time on the mistress
and the girl We're unhappy until one
day the very dear friend gave the girl
S1.5O more week than she was earn
ing in her first place. and in this man
ner did the girl become happy again,
while her mistress and the very dear
friend ceased to be on speaking terms.
And then the girl became unhappy
again until the other very dear friend
engaged her ut an advance of 81, and
the other dear friend and the first dear
friend ceased to talk over the back
fence. And then the good girl wore
fine dresses and fine hats, and one day
dashing young man led her to the
altar, and now the three friends and
the poor country girl are all very
happy.

Fred Eller and Julia Fitzgerald
Married at Noon at the
Cathedral.

Cathedral.
John Deery figured in marriage
at the Cathedral to-day. Was he the
bridegroom? No. He was witness.
1t was the elimination of a little
romance and Mr.. Deery is culpable in
that he helped two lovers to become
twain.
Fred Eller of Manchester loved Julia
Fitzgerald. Their love for each other
was ardent but its course was not
smooth. 1t was the old story of
parental opposition. Julia's father did
not like the man of her choice but this
only served to make her love for him
stronger. 1t was the same with Fred
Eller. When he found out that Julia's
father was opposed to him he set his
teeth in grim determination. He
would wed Julia Fitzgerald in spite of
her fathers wishes. So to-day the
ov ers came to Dubuque. They went
straight to the archepiscopal residence
and laid their case before father Barry.
Their story finished, the good priest
ruminated moment, then made out
the necessary dispensation. A few
moments later priest and lovers wer
in the Cathedral and here beneath the
glorious arches Julia Fitzgerald became
the wife of Fred Eller.
But dilemma arose. Some one must
needs be witness. Happily Mr.. Deery
was at the Cathedral on business He
was appealed to but was loath to officiate
His protestations were of no avail,
however, and he was pressed into
service.

bride four years his junior.-Dubuque
