 Quite an Agitation About It.-There
 Are a Few in the village.-An Acci-

 The electric light question is one that may eventually result in more or less trouble before long. There are about twenty-five lights about the VII lage and some of the lights enjoyed py those near whom they are placed, en- joy the illumination paid for by others.

ANCIENT BRIDAL PROVERBS.

It is unlucky for bridal party to go off land, and, especially, if they do, to go downstream.

 If the bridal pair ride to the church to be married it is unlucky for the brides horse to stumble.
 It is unlucky for the bride to go at once to her new home. She should wait at an inn till the guests arrive.

DIPLOMATIC STROKE.
How a EounE Chicago Husband Set- tied n Controversy Which Came
 Near Being Dangerous.

''I used to think" said Mrs. We'll stead. who had just returned from a visit to the zoo, ''that I would rather be happy in a cottage than miserable in palace"
 Well" Dicl1ie Wellstead replied, Sdon't you feel that way still?"
 'No,'' his young wife answered. ''I've changed my mind. I don't want you to think, Dickie, that I've ceased to love you. but I must give up that old idea concerning the cottage and the palace. To-day saw splendid lioness caged up in costly building.

She was not happy. One could see that in her sad eyes, even if she had not kept pacing to and fro along the bars, as unhappy lions do. Then I thought of big, spotted pig they had where I used to visit in the country. It would lie around in it's miserable pen and enjoy itself all day long. It was thoroughly happy. An, Dicllie, I'd rather be the unhappy ioness in the splendid cage"
 He sat for a moment in deep thought. They had been married less than a year, and he had not really had chance as yet to do the great things he was going to do for her sake, and with her as his guiding star. He knew, however, says the Chicago Record-Herald, that it would be useless to try to get her to listen to reason, because Edith Caldwell's husband had just made her a pres ent of an automobile that cost $1,500. Charley Caldwell had a rich father, but that made no difference now. Before they were married Daisy Wellstead had just as much as Edith, hence it was not hard matter for Diclxie to guess why his darling was dissatisfied with her lot. Finally he said:
 .'But you never could be lioness anyway, you know"
 .Why?" she angrily demanded, .sDo you mean to insinuate that ] am a."
 "Because," he interrupted, "you are only shy, gracetIl little dear"
 So she fell into his arms and the trouble was cver-for the time being,
