Antiquated Wedding Customs.

''While a little harmless sport will
do as well at a wedding as at any
other place." remarked the man in the
hammock, "some of the indignities
that are INDUCED in under the guise
of sport go beyond the realm of pro-
priety.
Throwing rice or heaving an old
shoe is no longer considered to be fun
by the wits at weddings. The harm
less sport must be something of a
higher order than these. Forcing the
bridal couple to ride about the streets
in a hearse, followed by mob of
street urchins, and Handwriting them
together as they get aboard the train
were good jokes in their time, but they
have lost their charm of novelty.
$50 has the exquisite joke of putting
the man ashore on an island some
where and making him swim or
drown" interposed the eynic. THE
circus menagerie wagon has been tried
so there is no originality left in that"
f'Still, no one has thought of draw
ing the newly wed about in garbage
CARTS continued the voice from the
hammock.
Good idea" replied the cynic.
''That would add a smell which would
delight the nose of the wedding wit,
and would express exactly his style of
humOr."
they came out of church and carried
off in a patrol wagon to the police
station" added the man in the ham
mock as a final coup d'etat. Then,
after their release the next morning
they might be soused with dirty water
as they enter the train"
Eyes, yes admitted the cynic.
''But don't talk to the wedding wit of
little harmless sport like that. He
has no more idea of what that means
than he has of the sanctity of we'd
ding ceremony"
At which both returned to their pa
pers, while the other guests recalled
that both recently had embarked
on the sea of matrimony." An

Opposite each other in the street car

be about so years old, and each was
wearing mourning band on his hat.
By and by they happened to look at

Commercial Transactions.
Railway Operations Are Ex-
tensiye on Pacific Coast.

New York, Aug. 19.-Dispatches to
Dun's Review indicate that trade and
industry have made favorable progress
under the benefcent influence of
brighter crop prospects. Boston re-
ports a growing confidence that makes
the general business outlook most en-
couraging. Manufacturers at Philadel-
phia are well employed as rule and
collections fairly prompt. Trade i'm
proves at Pittsburg. Outside buyers
are in large attendance at Baltimore,
placing fall orders freely. Payments
are prompt. Conditions are favorable
at Nashville. Cincinnati reports pros
poets bright for fall and winter trade.
There is activity in all manufactur-
ing lines at Atlanta and collections are
much better than usual. The attend
ance of outside buyers is steadily in
creaSing in the st. Louis market.
Wholesale business in leading lines at
Kansas City is active. Retail trade is
fair and collections improving. Manu-
featuring at indianapolis shows in
creased activity and a general improve
ment is noted in the volume of bust
ness. Trade increases at Chicago.
Wholesale merchandise is in unusual
request for fall and winter cOnSump-
ton and mercantile collections con-
tinue prompt. Reports from clearing
houses at the principal cities for the
last week indicate larger volume OF
business than in the week preceding
and far exceed the corresponding week
in any previous year. Total bank ex-
changes at the fourteen leading cities
were $2,217,283,313, an increase of
2S.S per cent over the same week in
1904 and a gain of 26.1 per cent COM
pared with the clearingS two years
ago.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are 213 against 222 last
week, 232 the preceding week, and 226
the corresponding week last year. Fail
ures in Canada number % against g

Rradstreet,s Renort

Bradstreet's says: Fall trade, while
not yet under full Roadway, is stead Oily
gathering force. Buyers are more nu-
merous. Good weather for harvesting
and threshing, except in portions of
the northwest, continue to reveal very
favorable results in both spring and
winter sown grains. Combined cereal
yields will probably exceed all past
years in both quality and quantity.
Collections on the whole have i'm
proved slightly. Currency shipments
to the country are increasing, but this
has had no particular effect ON money
rates as yet.
Features this week at western mar
kets have been numerous excursions
of buyers arriving at Kansas City. st.
Louis and Chicago.
On the Pacific coast business is
fairly active at all points. Railway
operations, swelled by Il large crop and
industrial move mems, are of very full
volume.
Iron and steel trade advices are, if
anything. rather more encouraging.

Tours in the Rocky Mountains In Cool
Colorado.

The Denver & Rio -Grande railroad
offers to the tourist and the trans
continental traveller the choicest resorts
and the grandest~ scenery in Colorado,
Utah and New Mexico. This route has
two separate and distinct lines through
the Rocky Mountains, all through
tickets being available via either. The
direct line to Cripple Creek, the grand
est gold camp on earth. Three trains
daily with through Pullman palace
and tourist sleeping cars between Den
yer, San Francisco. Los Angeles and
Portland, and Chicago, ST. Louis and
San Francisco. The best line in Utah,
Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Wash
ington via the ogden Gateway
These trips are made more enjoy
able than ever by reason of the new
open-top observation cars now oper-
ated on daylight trains through the
Royal Gorge and the Canon of the
Grand river. These cars are of mod
ern construction throughout, but diff
fer from the ordinary passenger coach
in the fact that they have no top and
low sides, thus affording an absolutely
unobstructed view of the magnificent
scenery through which the trains pass.

There is a desire among the federated

is a very natural feeling, and one which
we should foster, as it is by the sense
of ownership of our clubs that we will

From the President.

The Federation Travelling Art gal
lery was mentioned last week, in con-
nection with it's important position at
the Clay Center Chautauqua. 1t had
been planned to defray the expenses
of the exhibit at Clay Center by an
admittance fee, but when the manage
ment saw the gallery and realized the
value of such an adjunct to the assem-
bly,, they offered not only to defray all
expenses but also to make SubStan-
tial gift to the gallery for the privilege
of having the exhibit, and Mrs. APP
lington's art talks, given free to the
visitors. And it is safe to say that no
feature provided by the management
proved more popular or possessed
more educative value. In this con-
nection, too much cannot be said of
Mrs. Aplington's art talks. I wish that
every club which the gallery visits
might hear her interesting sketches of
the lives and works of the artists rep
resented. Just as Mrs Arlington has
shown rare discrimination in making
these collections. has she shown the
same qualifications in selecting the
right notes for emphasis in her series
of lectures.
Two additional collections are al
ready projected for the gallery, plans
for which will be decided upon during
the club conference in Topeka next
month.
In planning for the future work of
| the federation art gallery Mrs. Apling-
ton wrote to dorado Taft, and the
following from his reply will show the
value of this work in the estimation of
so eminent an authority:
Artists Camp, Oregon, Ill, Aug. L.
Dear Mrs. Ap1ington-Your letter,
with its enclosures, is positively the
most interesting communication that 1
have received for many day. I have
read every word of the little circulars;
not only the catalogue of your collec-
lions, but even the sums that were
made-or not made-in each town
where exhibited. 1t is fine, finei Such
a helpful, enlightened thing to do ard
such a sensible, suggestive way of do
II ing it; demonstrations like these make
one more optimistic than ever regard
ing the outlook for American art
want to help in one way or another
And in the wake of this fine appre-
citation comes a letter from Mrs Sher-
wood, of Chicago. chairman of the art
committee of the General Federation,
from which I also quote:
II have looked over your report
with the greatest interest 1t is a
beautiful report, and shows your own
enthusiasm and self sacrifice. Your
plan seems to me a. good one, and one
that we might adopt in Illinois with
profit In our state we have the
greatest difficulty in raising money for
the purchase of pictures. and for adj
ditional travelling galleries. because
the pictures go absolutely free to
clubs. [ am impressed by the fact
that what costs nothing is worth moth
ing I shall certainly urge our fedora
ton to adopt your plan"
These excerpts are made to give the
club women the thought that this trav-
cling art gallery is built upon worthy
lines and that we are doing a good
work This gallery is not an affair of
one woman, or of a dozen. 1t has been
made possible only by the power of our
organization, and only by that power
can it live and grow, so we ask the
continued interest and influence of ev-
