theyfooled'em. On Wednesday Bob took
his Minnie and went to Holyrood where
the everlasting knot was tied, ard then
drove back home. And then to make il
more humiliating to as fellows who al
ways think we're great on getting next,
Bob never breathed it till the next
morning; but then there was somethin'

Minnie, because we have known both
from their early childhood, but this
evening the band went down to the Ger
man home to serenade Mr.. and Mrs.

PARIS. April l5.-Ihe rumors which have
been printed in certain newspapers to the
effect that VI. Delcass' B, the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, went to the Elysie Palace
with the intention Of resigning his portfolio
