A WEDDING TOUR INCIDENT.
The Brides Embarrassing Meeting
With Her Former Fiance.

She is very pretty, and no one
wonders that her husband is much
in love with her unto this day, but
she tells this story Of bad half
hovr on her wedding journey.
Il was eighteen she said, "When
/ was married and had been engaged
to my husband a year, but preceding
both engagement and marriage I
was sort Of engaged, schoolgirl fash
ion, to another young fellow. It
was one of those intangible engage
ments that melt into thin air when
the real prince comes, but fervid
enough while they last. In this case
my interest in the affair cooled with
the rapidity of a collapsing balloon,
and as the youth lived in a distant
city no embarrassing explanations
were necessary.
$50 | was married, and the we'd
ding journey included a stop of sew
eral days in town on the Ohio riv-
er, where we had coy table all to
ourselves at the hotel. It was at
dinner one day that the patriarchal
waiter approached and asked if we
would object to another gentleman
and lady being placed at our, table.
Bride like yourself, missy he
added confdentially as he passed
my chair. In a moment he ushered
to their places the other couple, and
/ looked up to encounter my former
fiance, CONSERVATION and amaze
ment written on every line of his
face. Lacking the wit or wisdom Of
experienced years, I dropped my
eyes without further recognition
than rapid paling and flushing Of
countenance, and he, following my
lead, began discussing the menu
with his wife.
t'The dinner proceeded in such
appalling silence so far as I was
concerned as to fairly paralyze my
husband, and explanations were in
order as soon as we returned to our
apartments. Then how he laughed
and went in search Of the rival cou-
pie, only to find they had left the
hotel Immediately after the meal,
and we have never heard of either
of them since" Baltimore Sun.

the overthrow of Senator Spoon
er. A legislature that LaF'ol-
lette can handle will mean the
strengthening of a machine with
ideas that have no place in the
republican party Of Wisconsin.
1t will also doubtless mean a
primary election law that will be
obnoxious to a large share Of the
people, and which will work in
jury to the party in the state.
Robert M. LaFollette has been
the most arrogant dictator, and
a disorganizer of the most pro
nounced type. Under ordinary
circumstances it is customary to
give an Executive the second
term. In the case. Of Mr.. La
Toilette the rule should not be
maintained. It is for the best
interests of the party and the
people of the state that more
conservatism be called into
action, and for these reasons
Bayfield, County should place
herself solidly in the stalwart
ranks.

"Threc" In MYTHOLOGY.

In mythology We find the three (3)
occupying even a more honorable
place than the SO called mythical
number ~ There were the three
graces, Cerberus with his three
heads, Neptune holding his three

muses., which are made up Of three,
threes, and the third wave, which
was thought to bring death and de-
struction to everything in it's path.

When the Cat Was Sacred.

In the middle ages brute animals
formed as prominent a part in the
devotional ceremonies Of the time as
they had in the religion Of Egypt.
The cat (alurus) was embalmed aft
er death and buried in the city Of
Bubastis, because, according to He
rodotus, Diana Bubastis, the chief
deity of the plae, was said to have
transformed herself into d cat when
the gods fed to Egypt.

We often met companies Of six or

tainly came near us with distinct
purpose Of making examination. But
if we had the misfortune to excite
much curiosity, they became aggres.
Sivc. one would first come close to us
and rcconnoitCr, and then, on his order,
the others would advance with q men

tie in which we sometimes had trouble
to demonstrate effectively our superior
strength. on one occasion we were
able to observe that the penguins are
musical amateurs. Unfortunately we

us, nor indeed any musician, although
we all, without exception, played nu-
merous melodies and even operate airs
on the ships barrel organ. But in any
case-and the thing is worth noting
one of the sailors delighted to exercise
himself upon the trumpet, and the pen.
gums came from great distances to
listen to him-no doubt to learn some
thing new.
Often, very often, these brave pen,
gums amused us, and when we were
tired Of preserved foods, especially OF
Australian rabbit, they afforded us real
succor, after we learned that the flesh

Poor Actresses Costumes.

In Germany there is society for the
relief of needy actresses. AS ordinary
actresses have to supply their own cos
tunes it is often most difficult for
those who are poor to obtain good en-
gagements, says Home Notes. Accord
ingly certain practical philanthropists
started a society for their benefit.
The society is now in it's second year.
and in the first report it is stated that
branches have been established in
Berlin, Cologne. Munich, Stuttgart,
Carlsruhe and Mannheim, and it is in
tended to have a branch in every Ger
man city of Importance before the end
Of another year. In every city the
business of the society is conducted by
joint committee of wealthy society
women and the most conspicuous act
ress in the place So far the demand
for costumes has been much larger
than the supply, but this condition has
only impelled the women workers b
greater activity"

The New York pape-s report that
the Health department of that city
has seized as dangerous TO health near
ly two tons of cheap mixtures sold foI
baNing powders and dumped them into
the oifal scOw to be destroyed. MOrc
of the powder WAS found in a Sixth
ave. department store. The repor'
of the analysis Of the Health Depart
ment stated that it was "an alum
baking powder containing alum and
puIverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways Of repreS>-
ing the sale of bad baking powders
In England they have prosecuted the
grocerS under the general law and bro.
ken up the traffic. In Missouri the
sale of alum baking powder is actually
prohibited by law. In New Y rk they
seize the unwholeSome stuff and cas-
1T into the river, without any discus
sion. The latter way is certainly eff
fec,ive.
The alum baking powders are usu
al y offered at a low price, ten to
twenty cents pound, or with some
prize, as a temptation to the house
wife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking
powder Of established name and rep
utation Do not be tempted by the
grocer TO take something else as ''juS
as good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is
often d ceived by INSCRIPTIONS makers
and is selling an alum powder without
knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the hUuSekeeper insist
on having what she knows is right,
and not be induced to risk the life OF
the family for an imaginary saving OF
q few cents. ...

About Gems.

The diamond, although not so rare
or precious as the ruby, holds the first
place as favorite among precious
stones with almost every one. The
high estimation in which it is held is
due to its remarkable hardness, rarity,
and brilliancy. In spite of its beauty,
it merely consists of carbon-a simple
elementary substance, and in its great
est beauty. Although diamonds are
usually colorless and clear, like water,
occasionally-from some slight foreign
inter-miXture-they are white, gray,
yellow, green, brown. and more rarely
orange, red, blue or black. The hard
ness Of the gem-as everybody knows
renders it incapable of being scratch
ed by any other substance, and in cut
ting and polishing diamonds diamond
dust is employed. The art Of cutting
diamonds, although long practiced in
India and China, was not known in
Europe until after the middle Of the
fifteenth century.

Why Big Fish Get Away.

1t is perfectly plain that large fish
are more apt to escape than small ones.
Their weight and activity, combined
with the Increased thickness and re-
sourcefulness of age and experience, of
course, greatly Increase their ability
to tear out the hook, and enhance the
danger that their antics will expose a
fatal weakness In hook, leader, line or
rod. Another presumption, which must
be regretfully mentioned, arises from
the fact that in many cases it is the
encounter with large fish which
causes such excitement, and such dis
traction or perverslon of judgment, as
leads the fisherman to do the wrong
thing, or fail to do the right thing, at
the critical instant.-Grover Cleveland
