THE HONEYMOON PARADE.
Wedding Custom In One Town When
the Train ls Late.

the Train ls Late.
A small city, which need not be To-
Gated more particularly than that it is
somewhere east of Boston, has its own
peculiar way of speeding the newly
married on their honeymoon.
For one thing, every one goes to the
station to see the couple depart. This
is done in many small places. The
showering of rice or confetti and the
throwing of the old shoe take place,
not at the home of the bride, but at the
station. To that extent the city re-
ferred to is not unusual.
But in this city train schedules fire.
quent1y go awry, and when they do
the unusual happens. The wedding, Of
course, has been celebrated on time,
and the reception has taken as much
time as such things usually take. The
departure from the brides home Is
made in due season to catch the train
If it is on time.
The wedding guests rush to the sta
ton, where all other Inhabitants hav-
ing nothing better to do have assem-
bled already. 1t is free show which
no one would miss.
The carriage bearing the newly mar
ried pair is drawn by white horses and
decorated with white ribbons. Custom
demands this, and no one has yet had
the temerity to do otherwise.
The carriage arrives at the station,
and it is learned that the train is so
many minutes or SO many hours late.
Usually the measure is in hours.
The carriage doesn't wait It goes
parading. It drives around and around
a prescribed route, from every point Of
which the driver can get due notice Of
the approach Of the train.
The crowd remains patiently at the
station Other curious persons station
themselves at points along the s0ute
just to see the wedding coach pass.
Sometimes two or three carriages,
drawn by white horses and decorated
in white, swing steadily around this
hymeneal circuit. 1t seems Hike an
endless procession. 1t is not unusual
for wedding pair to spend the first
five hours of their honeymoon just rid
ing round and round waiting for the
train
When the screech Of the locomotive
finally is heard the driver continues to
swing up to the platform just as the
train comes to a stop. Then the bride
and bridegroom make mad rush for
their car amid a shower Of rice and
confetti and old shoes. The honeymoon
parade Is over.-Exchange.

Furious Battle, in Which Bird Gets

Richmond, Va, July PA NAM
moth gamecock, the property of Mrs
Shire Poist, of Woodlawn, after a
battle lasting fully five minutes, sue
ceeding in conquering and killing
a large black snake. When discov-
cred the fowl had the reptile in its
bill, shaking it as a dog might shake
a rat. The snake was endeavoring
to coil itself around the neck of the
fowl, but without success.
The snake thrashed about on the
ground vainly trying to get a grip
upon its agile adversary, while the
bird, through it's ability to lift itself
free from the ground by means of its
wings, kept clear of the coils
The rooster peckled and cut at the
head and body of the snake with its
bill and spurs, decorating it's body
and binding it. When, finally, the
snake was too exhausted to fight
longer, the rooster caught him by the
scruff of the neck and shook him UNI

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever! nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. We will give One Hundred

CUBA NEEDS AMERICA.
Speaker OF Island House Says Talk OF
Hostility Is Silly.
New York Heraldo

Characterizing reports that there is
hostile feeling in Cuba toward the
United States as unfounded, Senior Or
estes Ferrara, speaker of the Cuban
house of representatives, who arrived
in New York Wednesday on his way
to Europe, last night declared that
all intelligent Cubans look upon this
country as the island republics bene-
factor and friend
Recent newspaper articles have
intimated that my country is seriously
thinking of taking up arms against
the United States, said Senior Fer
rara, but nothing could be further
from the truth. Twice the government
at Washington has demonstrated it's
sincere friendship for Cuba. Presi-
dent Gomez and the Cuban congress
could assume no attitude other than
one of gratitude.
These false reports, in my opinion,
had their origin in the fact that Pres
dent Gomez recently cancelled a large
order for arms which had been given
to an American dealer. This action
was taken for the simple reason thai
the models submitted did not come
up to the standard of the Cuban gov
eminent 1t was certainly not in
tended and cannot rightly be con-
strued as an unfriendly act The very
suggestion is silly.
"Cuba's prosperity depends upon the
commercial relations with this coun-
try, and 1 might say that the repub
lies very existence would be threaten
ed should the government at Havana
lose the friendship of America and
Americans. The mere hint of i'll
feeling, to say nothing of the sugges-
ton of war, would be laughed at in
my country.
president Gomez informed me
just before my departure that he had
arranged to have General Guerra Wis
it the United States within a few
weeks to buy large quantity of arms
to equip the Cuban army"
