The Bride Fell Down

Sadly funny was a little drama at a
recent swell wedding. THE bride, 3"
whispers Il woman who attended, "was
cOstumcd after the approved dircctore
fashion, which calls for corsets down to
the knees, Il collar up the eyebrows, and
tight sleeves that pinion the arms to
ones side. She could not manage her
long skirt and she fell fiat as she tried
TO reach the chancel. Her father, who
was giving her away, was unprapared
for the fall and was dragged down by
his white satin and lace daughter"
This looks bad, not for the bride, but
for the costume. says an exchange
The directoire, woman simply can't sit
down, and when she walks she is in
danger of performing that clumsy and
sometimes dangerous feat known as
failing all over Yourself"

POWER OF ONE VOTE

People are wont to laugh at small
.majorities and poke fun at candidates
who have been elected by IL few votes
Yet there have been numerous instances
in American history when great causes
have been won and lost by Il single
ballot.
In the continental congress of 1775
Benjamin Harrison defeated John
Hancock by one vote for the presiding
AOffice. But the Virginian insisted on q
new ballot and by his own vote chose
Hancock.
In 1884 the illness of one delegate
from New Jersey kept slavery out of
states admitted to the union after 1900
and thus confined the civil war CON
testants to the south Atlantic states.
July 49,. 1888, one vote ratified the
constitution, after the famous debate
between Madison and Henry at Rich
mond. The next day the debate be-
tween Hamilton and Clinton ended
with New York following suit. In 1890
Rhode Island came in with an equally
small margin.
Alexander Hamlt IN swung one vote
to Thomas Jefferson in the electoral
college of 1900, thus breaking dead
lock after thirty-six ballots and defeat
, ing Aaron Burr. This really began the
feud which cost Hamilton his life on
the palisades at Weehwken
In 1908 Jesse. Thomas, by his own
vote went to congress from the Indi
ana district He succeeded in moving
the northern boundary of Illinois so
miles north thus giving it lake outlet.
Had Illinois been united commercially
with the south and her interests
tinged with southern ideas che election
of Lincoln could never have taken
place, and the whole history of the
country would have been different.
May 26, 1868, the senate of the Unit.
ed States declared against the i'm
parchment of Andrew johnson by one
vote 30 to 10, when two-thirds were
necessary to decide.
The Hayes-Tilden controversy in 1876
was settled by IL vote of 8 to Z in the
, commission OILS chosen to settle it.
Sncl, fl the power that has been
vested III one vote in American history.

In the city of Prague a tip to the
tramway conductor is considered de

lowed for in considering the carrying
capacity Of the car the conductors
should have got goodly pocketful Of
the minimum coin by each days end.
Tipping, it was ascertained in an
other of Bohemia's larger towns, is so
fully recognized that the head waiter
at cafe pays a rent for his post, sup
plies all the journals for the coffee
room and looks after the other wait
ers, and then makes an income larger
than that of a university professor
all out of his tips.
After supper at one of the delight
full open air cafes of the capital it was
found that approximately one should
give a half krone, ten cents, to the
head waiter who took payment, four
cents to the under waiter who brought
the viands, and a cent to the boy who
brought-and even brought again as
one glass was finished-the beer.
