A TICKLE IMMIGRANT.
Her Experience with Two Lovers at
Uncle Sans Barge Omce.

Her Experience with Two Lovers at
Uncle Sans Barge ONCE.
"There seem to be manifold oppor-
tunities among the immigrants coming
to America on shipboard for falling in
love, particularly on the slower steam
ers, when people are thrown together
for period of from II to Is days."
says John Gilmer Speed in Ainslee's.
"In this case a worthy young Russian
was cheated out of very pretty bride
by a likely Italian fellow traveller of
the maiden. Strangely enough, she
knew not one word of Italian nor he
a word Of Russian, yet the brides
countryman was Tilted, and the panto-
mime lovers were married and set
forth gayly and confidently to learn
each other and the great new world
they had entered at one and the same
time.
Another case was equally ludicrous
A Swedish maiden of somewhat tickle
mind fell in love with a fellow yoy-
ager without apprising him of the fact
that she was betrothed to another man
whom she was to meet at the barge
office and marry. 1t was her intention
to hurry ashore with her new lover
and outwit the former by prior cere-
mony, but the red tape of the office
prevented that, and the first lover came
to welcome his bride. She then as
promptly fell in love with No. l. But
when No. . pleaded and threatened.
she could not decide which one she
loved the better, so she was detained
while the two men haunted the barge
office. glaring at each other.
"When the detention time had elaps-
ed. the bride. still not knowing her
mind, was sent unceremoniously back
OH the same steamer that brought her
over. both Tilted lovers abandoning the
field i'm despair. But on arriving on
her native soil once more the maiden
dared not face her people. so back she
came. having just money enough TO
pay her passage, and sent for lover NO.
/, declaring that she loved him the bet
ter. He replied that he was very much
obliged, but as he had already married
a handsomer girl in the interval he was
compelled 10 decline to come for her.
The maiden then sent word TO No. 2 TO
like effect, but he declared that he had
had enough of the fickle feminine. and
thus in defeat the maiden was trans
ported back again TO face the leers and
jeers of her native hamlet"

Made IT Fit the Name

cred Rock. n. " said n man who

esting about it that fancy all the
world doesn't know. The present name
is not the one il has always borne and
what it's other name was | don't know
Whatever il was the people did not
like it and concluded they would
change it. There was no particular
reason why they should call it Red
Rock. but that was determined upon,
and so Red Rock it became.
''Then in the course of time strangers
Of an inquiring turn of mind began 10
ask why the place had such n name.
and rs no reason could be given new
comers TO the neighborhood began TO
want n name that meant something.
This insistence grew so strong that the
old residents began to look around for
n reason for the name of their place,
and at last they found n huge bowlder
near by which they said was what had
suggested the name. But the bowlder
was gray instead OF red. and the pro-
gress.sts insisted that that would not
do. At last the old timers hit upon a
new plan. and, procuring barrel of red
paint, they painted the big rock red.
Red Rock indeed IL was now. and not
only was all opposition 10 the name
overcome, but the painting cf tho rock
every spring has become ~ annual
festival and the people celebrate it
