The Mean and Underhanded Joke played
on TWO Wealthy and Charming Young
Society People Of Hector, Mimi, by the |
ThoughtIess Of That interesting Town
The thoughtful Are Wondering wtat
May Come Of II.
A gorgeous ana highly colored joke was
played on two Of Hector's popular young
people last week. A gentleman and q
lady happened to be taking the same east
bound train last Wednesday afternoon, one
destined for ST. Louis and the other for
Minneapolis. The Hector Mirror brings
full details Of the happy affair.
Some Of their friends unbeknown to the
travellers. provided themselves with rice.
rife shower Of that cereal, so suggestive
when thrown at a young lady and a young
gentleman, was poured out. OF course
they We're surprised (oung couples al
ways are on such occasions) and the
young lady blushed Gas is customary
and and they both tried to act natural" Gas
is also customary In the car they sat
apart and told friends on the station plat
form how mean they were to play such a
trick on them. All Of this OF course, made
the occupants Of the car look wise at
each other Gust as they always do) and
nothing the two did would be construed
in any other than as it is always construed
on like occasions. # the young man said
something to any sone to try to explain
he was given q knowing smile and made
to understand that explanations at such
times were not given much credence. The
Mirror says: 0@
I'VE haven't heard how they got along
after they left Hector, but we surmise that
whenever their eyes met they naturally
would think Of their experience on leav-
Ing home and then a smile would light up
the face Of each Gust as smiles light up
the faces of certain other couples some
times)) and then the interested passengers
would pass their knowing smiles around
also. It was really a very embarrassing
situation for both Of the young people, but
we trust that the episode will discourage
neither Of them attempting real and
truly trip when the proper time arrives"
A writer in the Christian Register, Uni
tartan, says: =
yet, tho have frequently seen the RICH
teous looking very forlorn indeed, 1 have
never seen the charming forsaken.' ;Ft
| If the exact meaning of the righteous
is the albright those who are all right,
how can they be found looking very for
lorn indeed?' The conclusion must be
drawn, that many Of the so-called right
Gus are not all right. Something is
wrong with them
The Lafayette correspondent of the st.
Peter Herald tells of the game between the
/ Gibbon Sluggers and the Lafayette team
on the latters grounds A number of the
Lafayette boys were absent owing to va
rious reasons, and their places were filled
by selections from the team Of fats. Now
these fats, says the correspondent, are
tip-top fellows, but they lack wind, and
they look like blown up feather bed ticks
moving about on humpty dumpty limbs
! They can't play ball. but they do as well
as they can. Taking them in to fill places
of the regular players constituted weak
ness and the Gibbon outfit perceived this
weakness and went for it. The visitors
won the game, but by margin that for
bids Growing. The Gibbonites are not hall
SO green as they look; they are said tc
have eyes in the back side as well as the
front side Of. their heads.
I Bailey, the Britt Qowa) Tribune man,
tells sad story in these light and ap-
parently unfeeling words. Perhaps you
may read between the lines:
