WAS IN HARD LUCK
CARBON YOUTHS SAD PLIGHT
WHILE CALLING UPON HIS
LADY LOVE.
Went All the Way to Rock Springs to
Make Biunder That Left the Girl

the Former Great Mining Camp.

Carbon. Wyo, May 13.-(Special
Correspondence of The Republican,
1t is strange, indeed. that troubles
never come singly, and there is at
least one arbon young Lochinvar that
is competent witness to that fact.
The story runs as follows:
This young man had a lady-love who
did not live outside of the wireless tele-
graphy district surrounding Carbon,
but who lately moved to the more met
ropolitan city Of Rock Springs. The
local young a after a heartbreaking
wait Of nearly two weeks, betook him
self to Rock Springs to pay a visit to
the aforesaid l%ady-love. The Union
Pacific safely deposited him in Rock
Springs. the hack safely saw him to
her house. and the young lady safely
helped him to keep the parlor sofa from
sliding about the room. In truth, the
Carbon progeny was no amateur in
the fascinating art.
When it became time for our hero
to depart. one of Wyoming's famous
periodical snow storms held full sway
on the outside. Some n had previ-
ously borrowed all the rain shedding
articles from the house, and, while our
hero was shedding inward tears as
large as the biscuits that mother used
to make. the old folks prevailed upon
his delerious mind to remain over night
From this point dates the downfall Of
our hero; from this point he was in
captivity, closely guarded by an
enemy.
The next mornings sun found him
as bright as a sparrow. He descended
and partook of breakfast with the fam
lily. AS he slowly deposited his anat-
omy in the soft chair opposite the mat.
ron, he glanced in the mirror n saw
that his hair was not combed; the first
course was passed, SO did the hero-he
stood on a bob-tailed flush. Slowly his
hand strayed beneath the table, and
coming in contact with the table cover
ing, 1t at n flashed in his mind that
he had forgotten to put his shirt in
side Of his trousers. The situation
was becoming most desperate, and he
endeavored to right the wrong by fin
ishing his toilet under the friendly cover
Of the table. He was asked why he
did not eat more, but a sickly response
in an undertone was all the satisfac-
ton received by the family. Our hero
thought of home, of mother, father. SIS
tiers, brothers and the pet cat.
At last his toiet finished, the repast
came to an end. He arose with a
hasty step to catch the train. Crash;
the dishes were cast upon the floor
like e%gg-shells, the landlord moaned,
the landlady shrieked, the maiden wept
and our hero crept- no he shot out the
front door with the table cloth still
