Curious Marriaae Customs,


Wedding customs in ServIa TINT lit
tie kingdom In Europe. are curious in
deed from mn American standpoint.
For instance, neither the bride nor the
bridegroom is the most important fig
urc in n Servian wedding, but the best
man takes the leading part He care
fully guards the bride all the day be-
fore the wedding takes place, and
sleeps outside her chamber the night
before the girl Is to be married He
wears a big stiff sash made of heavy
silk. carries big white staff and n
huge bouquet ali for himself. There
are no bridesmaids, but two god
fathers, each of whom presents to the
bride n silk dress. After the priest
has performed the ceremony the best
man takes the bride around the church
ana she kisses all her girl friends good
by and is finally carried of to the
bridegroom, who at last gets his wife
from the hands OF the best man. Then
the happy couple return to their in
tended home Bridal tours are foreign
to servIan ideas and only the very rich
or the nobility indulge In them.

Enaland,s National Color.

Why red should have been selected
rs the nutional color becomes Intel
liglble when we look at the cross of
st. George. Sir Walter Scott, when he
wrote of how their own sea hath

merely anticipating the phrase of to-
day. But Oliver Cromwell, when for
the first time he put the English SOL
dler in n red cont. probably did ms
much ms st. George to monopolze rcd
rs the national color. The aggressive
color has, however many meanings
and has lent itself to many uses. In
tho days of the Romans when It

for freedom; I'm the days of the French
revolution II stood for freedom backed
by blows, while in the streets of the
city today the red cross stands for

The Tramp's Story.
With the Man
.....WhO BUYS Shoes

A tramp asked for a free drink IN
a saloon. The request was granted.
and when Ia the act OF drinking the
proifered beverage, one Of the young
men present exclaimed:
"Stop. make as a speech. II Is
poor liquor that Doesn't loosen
mans tongue"
The tramp hastily swallowed the
drink and as the rich liquor courssd
through his blood he Strengthened
himself and stood before them with
a grace and dignity that his rags
and dirt could not obscure.
"Gentlemen." he said, 81 look
to- night at you and myself, and Il
seems 10 me I look upon the picture
Of my lost manhood. This bloated
face was once as young aud hand
some as yours. This stumbling
figure once walked as proudly as
yours--a man IN the world Of men.
l. too. once had a home and friends
and position. had a wife as beau
tiful as an artists dream. drop

and respect in the vine cup and
Cleopatra-like. saw Il dissolve and

the flowers Of spring, and saw them

curse Of a drunken father. had a
home where love lit the flame upon
the altar and ministered before II.
and ! put out the holy FIRE and dark
ness and desolation reigned in It's
stead. had aspirations and am
bitions that scared as high as the

strangled them that / might hear
their cries no more. To-day am a
husband without a wife; a father
without a child; a tramp with no
home 10 call his own; a man in
whom every good impulse is dead
and all swallowed up IN the mael-
strom Of drink"
The tramp ceased speaking. The
glass fell from his nerveless fingers
and shivered into a thousand frag-
ments on the floor. The swinging
doors pushed open and shut again.
and when the little group about the
bar looked up the tramp was gone.

Same Price For Newspapers

II any class Of business men ever
had good reason for the formation
Of a trust with a view Of advancing
prices. the press OF this country
presents that justification at this
time.
The white paper alone on which
many papers are printed, costs more
than is paid by the purchaser for the
printed edition. The cost OF white
paper has been advancing for years.
Printing ink never cost more than at
the present time and wages we're
never higher; yet the price Of the
out put has been retained. The
newspaper Of the country in their
columns seem 10 point out everything
in the news line pertaining 10 the
formation Of trusts In oil. sugar,
paper, coal and almost every con-
modify in general use, but they
entirely overlook the fact that they
could and should point with great
interest 10 the fact that newspapers
are supplying The public with the
news OF the world under a greater
expense Of production than at any
time previous, while the comparative
cost Of advertising has not been
greatly increased.
The newspapers have been in the
front ranks in the development Of
American civilization and today
they give more TO the purchaser for
the investment than II is possible "a
receive in any other channel OF ex.
penditure. Any thoughtful person,
who will carefully consider the
increased publication cost Of news
papers and the vast amount OF
information and pleasure the people
derive from them at old-times prices,
will agree with Us that the postage
on them, as we'll as on letters, should
be reduced.
