BRIDE AT LAST SAID "OBEY."
But is was Only After the Groom Hal
Started to Leave


In telling about Some People Have

Rev. D M. Steele says: Being an

printed service of the prayer-book. in
this the greatest stickler is obey
One day couple came to me, bringing
as witnesses the parents of both bride
and groom. Everything proceeded
smoothly to the point love. honor and
obey when the bride refused to say
the last. I repeated it and waited.
Again she refused, and l shut up my
book. Then there was a scene. They
talked it over. and the more seriously
they argued and discussed the more
stubbornly she refused. The parents
became angry, the groom excited, and
the bride hysterical. To humor her he
Joined in the request to have me leave
it out. But l liked the fellow and
decided that little sternness from me
in the present might be favor to him
in the future. So l told them I had
no authority to change it and would
not do so. I tried to show the foolish
ness of her objection, but it was no
use. Finally, said to him: We'll, this

you will say it, Then it was his time
to refuse, which he did. He gathered

him, led him back by the hand, locke /

ARE GOOD statesmen.
Busy Gum Machines Labor Savers for
Owners


Penny-in-the-slCt gum machines
about town serve as good statesmen.
They also save clerk hire, and when
one is filled with a dollars worth of
gum the dealer has nothing to do
but wait until the till contains a hun
dred pennies. Various makes of the
machines are to be seen, some with a
mechanical toy which goes through
some jerky motions Tor the benefit of
the gum buyer. All the machines are
the property of the local merchants,
but supplies for them must be pur-
chased from the firm sending them
out. In some Of the cities the ma
chimes are unlawfully cut open and
the gum and money extracated, but
as yet Madison thieves have not at
tempted this trick. But the small boy
has gotten in his good work with
slugs the shape and size of pennies.
A. A. Pardee has a machine in front
Of his drug store which does a brisk
trade. Here a certain small boy has
daily been working off round pieces of
cad in lieu of pennies, but of late the
proprietor has discovered who the
young rogue is and now the boy stays
away. Mr.. Pardee has a wooden box
we'll filed with the slugs which are
really works of art. They are perfectly
round, weigh about the same as a
penny and are furnished in some man
ner until they resemble a copper cent
For this reason a casual observer
could not detect the fraud.
Another curious thing about the
machine is that a certain class Of peo-
pie seem to regard it with awe and
will go into the store to purchase a
cents worth of gum rather than touch
it. Certain unwary people are also in
the habit of fitting the most handy
coin to the slot, and then when dime
for instance, fails to work the ma
chine they below for their money
back A number of dimes have been
collected in this manner.

THE ARTISTS BROKEN ARM.
The Loss Turned Out to be a BLESSING
to Him After All.

To become blind, or coolr-bIind or
to lose the use of ones hand are, of
course, the greatest calamities that
can overtake an artist remarked a
New Orleans portrait painter, chatting
with some friends in his studio.
There are a good man cases on
record, however, where the left hand
has been trained to do the work of the
right, even after middle age, and re-
call one where the necessity actually
turned out to be blessing in disguise.
The man [ have in mind was a painter
in one of the large coast cities, and
while he possessed considerable ability
he never managed to catch on with
the public, and had great difficulty in
making both ends meet. His
speciality was landscape, and the
trouble with his work was a tendency
to overfnish. If somebody had stood
behind him with a club and belted him
over the head when his canvas reach
ed a certain stage it would have been
all right, but he never knew when to
stop, and the result was a finicky.
fussy style that spoiled everything he
did.
well, he struggled along On the
verge of starvation for years, and
finally tumbled down stairs and broke
his right arm in so many different
places that it had to be taken off at
the elbow. Of course, he was in de-
spair, but he had considerable grit,
and as soon as possible after the
accident he began to practice with his
left hand. 1t came very awkward at
first, and he found himself absolutely
| unable to execute the fine, fussy detail
in which he formerly delighted. He
was compelled to deal with color
masses whether he wanted to or not.
and, in spite of his efforts to the con-
trary, ne acquired a broad, vigorous
touch that was the greatest imaginable
Improvement on his original style
The very first left-handed sketches ne
exhibited made hit, and everything
he does now finds ready sale.
Some Of the rival artists of the
place say that his work leaves nothing
to be desired, except the loss of his
other arm, but that's mere jealousy.
A funny thing, though" added the
| painter, lis that the success of his
| present canvases has privately exas-
| perated and mortified him, in spite of
| it's pleasant financial results. You
see, the semi-impressionistic style he
uses now is one that he formerly
denounced with no end of vehemence
as a gross affectation and cheap trick
to catch the public eye. Singular
way for ones chickens to come home
to roost, isn't it?"-New Orleans
Times-Democrat.

Richard Guenther, q former con-
gresham from Wisconsin, and at

on-the-Mai contributes an interest
ing and instructive report, published
in the advance sheets Of consular re-
ports. dated July 10. Mr.. Guenther'5
article is upon the subject Of Munich
pal Railways in Europe, in which he
brings out some historic matter per-
tanning to the government control Of
railways abroad. He says, by way OF
preface, that DR.. A. Won der Leyen, &
railroad expert. ublished an article
in the German Review, concerning the
MANAGEMENT of railroads in Prussia,
in which the writer states that the
example Of Prussia in buying the pri-
vate railroads and running them on
government account has contributed
to popularize the system in othe>
countries. The Austrian government
railroad has today. Saws M
Guenther. a mileage of about $500
miles of road; that of Hungary, abou,
$3.50 miles. Since 1882 great
change, he says, has taken place in
Russia. Of the then existing $4,000
miles of railroad, only about 40 miles
were owned by the government. The
total mileage in 1897 was about a.,
800 miles, Of which 1870 miles be-
longed to the government. To this
must be added the government rail
roads of Finland. Asiatic Russia, the
Trans-Caspian and the Siberian rail
roads. The Servian, Roumanian and
the Bulgarian railroads are owned
exclusively by the respective govern
ment. Of the northern European
kingdoms, Denmark has a govern
ment railroad system of 1857 miles
and SIS miles of private railroads.
Norways railroads belong almost ex-
clusfvely to the government. Sweden
has 1908 miles of government lines
and 1887 miles of private railroads
Holland acquired all the remaining
lines of railroads in 1890. but these
are, however, operated by two private
companies. The italian government
purchased all private main railroads
of Italy in 1885. and leased them for
twenty years to private corporations.
But Mr. Won der Leyen states that
both the countries last have had I'M
pleasant experiences with this ar
rangement Switzerland, after long
discussion, resolved by federal law n
October, 1897, to gradually purchase
all the private railroads. and on Janu-
airy, 1901. the first railroads were
operated by the government. Consul

The managers of the exposition at
Buffalo have renewed their appeals to
the officials Of roads running out of
Chicago for round trip rate equal to
one-fourth of the present rate one way
or about 81. There is little possibility
of their getting it. A rate of one cent
a mile has been made on certain days
by roads entering Buffalo, but this
does not apply to Chicago. A prom
inent official of the Central Passenger
association, in speaking of the matter,
said: ga rate of S1450 for a round
trip good for ten days has been made
from Chicago by different roads and
SIS good for fifteen days. These
rates are equal to one fare plus 81 and
one and one-third fares respectively.
At a recent meeting of the association
at Cambridge Springs, Pa, this matter
of Buffalo rates came up and it was de-
cided that Buffalo was getting all it
was entitled to. AS a mater of fact
the railroad fares are only a small part
of the expense of visiting the exposi-
ton, and hotel and other charges are
entirely too heavy, as reports of ex-
orbitant rates for accommodations
have been forthcoming right along"
