Lost the Wedding Ring.

1ney ndd a terrible time at Ine Weu-
ding the other day, which only goes to
show how the smallest drawback will
sometimes take the stifeuing out Of
the swellest occasion.
1t seems that the ceremony was
very grand affair indeed. There were
eight bridesmaids, and the church was
crowded from pit to dome, as the dra-
matte critics would say. But when
they got to the proper place in the
ceremony, and the groom began feel
ing around for the ring, he discovered
that it wasn't on hand. After the
minister had scowled on the miserable
wretch for a while, the latter detected
that the magic circlet had slipped
through a hole in his pocket and
worked into his boot. He communi-
Gated the terrible fact in whisper to
the bride, who turned deadly pale,
and was only kept from fainting by
the reflection that they would inevi-
tably cut the strings of her satin cor
sage in case she did.
"Why don't you produce the ring2'
whispered the brides big brother,
hosrsely, and doubling his fists under
the impression that the miserable man
was about to back out.
81 cant. It's in my boot, e1-
claimed the groom, under his breath,
his very hair meanwhile turning red
with modification.
"Try and fish it out somehow
hurry upl" mumbled the minister be-
hind his book.
"Ill tryl" gasped the victim, who
was rather stout; and he put one foot
on the chancel rail, pulled his trousers
leg and began making spasmodic jabs
for the ring with his forefnger. The
minister motioned to the organist to
squeeze out few notes to fill in the
time, while a rumor rapidly went
through the congregation to the effect
that telegram had just arrived prov
ing that the groom had four wives
living in America already.
IL cant reach it" groaned the
half.married in agony. ut won't t
come"
"Sit down and take your boot off,
you fool" hissed the brides mother,
while the bride herself moaned pit
eously and wrung her delicate hands.
There was nothing left, so the suf-
ferer sat down on the floor and began
to wrestle with his boot, which was
naturally new and tight, while fresh
rumor got under way to the effect
that the groom was intoxicated and
insisted on pairing his corns.
AS the boot came finally off, its
crushed wearer endeavored, unsuccess-
fully, to hide big hole in the heel Of
his stocking, noticing which the par
son, who was a humorous sort Of man,
said, grimiy:
you seem to be getting married in
time, my young friend. "
And the ceremony proceeded with
the party of the first part standing on
one leg trying to hide his well-venti-
lated foot.

Where Did 1t Go ;

And the gold grew dim, and the purple light
Like an army with banners, passed from sight
Will its flush 90 into the goldenrod.

Its crimson feck the maple bough,
And the autumn glory begin from now -
Deeper than flower fields sank the glow

To the shifting lights of a symphony
And in resurreetions Of faith and hope
The glory died on the shining slope.
