"One of the queerest wedding jour
neys | ever heard Of" the girl re-
marked, was that OF friend of mine
who was married in Canada the other
day. She lived in Ontario. and her
husband had settled on farm in one
of the. new provinces in the far West.
After they were married they set out
for their new home In freight car
that the bridegroom had specially
fixed for the journey.
"The front half of the car was ar
ranged as sleeping and living room
and kitchen combined They had the
necessary tables and folding chairs.
box cupboards for the dishes and
supplies, and big oil stove. Lamps
hung from the roof OF the car, ship
fashion. and the whole interior looked
particularly cozy when the bride had
finished the work begun by her hus.
band.
The odd part OF the outfit was the
fact that the rea. half of the car was
fitted up as a stable for the two horses
that were part of their wedding
gifts. The journey ended safely and
happily, should imagine, from the
letters have had from the bride. No
girl who could have private car or
a steam yacht for such a journey
would be more enthusiastic than my
friend was over her economical and
unique honeymoon"

going back to the city, with its dirt
and smoke and hustle and coid-heart-

"One day was talking to the
sturdy old farmer who kept the livery
stable and telling him all about the
city. He never seemed to tire of
hearing Of the metropolis.
'Lordy,' he exclaimed, regretfully.

Il felt sorry for the old fellow and
jokingly suggested that he keep a
double set Of books, true one for
his own benefit and a fake set to
show to possible customers. His face
lit up at the idea.

stopped and gazed moodily into the
distance.

Did the old farmer get on to the

Get on? Wei! I guess he did. I'm
the one that didn't get of. I'm the

race track gambling and making It a

known as the Delmar track. was one
OF the most active gambling places in

races all over the land. turning a
pretty penny thereby. The track was
outside the corporation at st. Louis, in
st. Louis county, where the governor
seemed to have no power to enforce
the law.
The Delmar people kept on racing

MARCH OF WEST POINT LADS.
Cadet Battalion Started Out on a
Weeks Field Practice.

West Point, N. Y, Aug. 21.-The bat
TALON of cadets started on weeks
practice march among the mountains
ON the east side of the Hudson. This
march, which was introduced by Com
mandant of Cadets Lieutenant Colonel
r. L. Howe when he took command
last year, is believed to be of so great
value as instruction for the cadets in
actual field work that it has become
part of the regular summer course.
Numerous problems have been formu-
lated by the tactical department and in
the solving of them sham battles will
be fought daily.
The miniature army consists of the
battalion of cadets, the field artillery
and cavalry detachments, besides a
long supply train and a battery of
mountain howitzers which will be
packed by mules. Lieutenant Colonel
Howe and his tactical officers will be
in command with the cadets of the
first class acting officers of the various
companies. Camp is to be established
wherever night overtakes them. 1t is
expected that the maneuvers will ex-
tend through the hills as far north as
Poughkeepsie.

Collector Murray Not Guilty.

Fred o. Murray of Buffalo was ac-
quilted on Thursday of the charge
of grand larceny in connection with
what has been known as the grave
yard scandal. Murray was tried on an
indictment charging the larceny of
$29,304 on June II, 1901.
After the prosecution had closed its
case, and before the defense opened,
Justice Sutherland directed the jury
to give verdict of acquittal saying
there was no proof that Murray had a
guilty knowledge of the transactions
of which he was charged with being an
accomplice.
Murray was county treasurer at the
time John w. Neff was county auditor.
Neff has been convicted of grand lar
ceny for connection with the same af-
fair, and is now under sentence. He
is out on certificate of reasonable
doubt pending an appeal.
Murray is now collector of the port

Refined Mineral Oil Drops From Thre

Copper-Exports of Agricultural I'm

In 1896.
Washington, Aug. 21-A special re
port from the bureau Of statistics Of
the department of commerce and labor
shows some notable facts in connec
tion with the doubling of exports of do
nestle merchandise in the last II
years.
Analysis shows that three classes
(raw cotton, provisions and iron anc
steel manufactures had in 1906 at
tanned each a total expectation of more
than $1OO,OOO,O0O, while in 1896 bu
two classes Cotton and provisionsl
we're entitled to that distinction.
In 1906 the articles which showed
each an expectation of between $50,
100000 and $1OO,OOO,OOO were five in
number-copper manufactures, refined
mineral oil, corn, -four and maMfact
ures of cotton. A decade earlier, II
1896, but two items fell into thi!
group-refined mineral oil and -four.
In the fiscal year just ended II ar
ticles or classes of articles showed
each an export value of from 100000,
900 to $4,000, leather anC
products thereof boards, unmanufact
ured tobacco, wheat, agricultural i'm
plements, oil cake, bituminous coal
chemicals, oats, vegetable oils, timber
fruits and nuts, wood manufactures
carriages, scientific instruments anC
spirits of turpentine; while in 1885,
there were but nine articles entitled tC
a place in this class-iron and steel
corn, wheat, cattle, tobacco, leather
cotton manufactures, copper manufact
ures and boards.
Raw cotton still occupies first rank
and provisions second. Iron and stee
manufactures have taken third place
and refined mineral oil has dropped
from third place in 1896 to fifth place
in 1906.
Copper manufactures also show no
table growth, having advanced from
18th place in 1896 to fourth place II
1906. While -four shows an increase
of $7000,0O0 in the decade, its rela
tive position among the leading ar
ticles of expectation has changed from
fourth in 1896 to seventh in 1906; ant
wheat, whose expectation of forty
millions gave it sixth place in 1896, ha:
receded to 18th place, with total ex
portation of $2S, 900 in the year just
ended
Agricultural implements exported
are five times as great in value as II
1896, and this large increase has ad
vanced the position of that class from
23rd in 1896 to 14th in 1906.
