The Mock Wedding.

If the shouts and laughs of eight
hundred people are to be taken as a
criterion, the Williams igglesworth
wedding at the opera house Friday
evening was huge success. In con.
ception and in execution, the wedding
was most happy idea and means OF
filling the Golfers of the treasury OF
the library association with some
funds to buy books.
| Though only one rehearsal was
held, the whole performance went Off
very smoothly. There was but little
speaking, and about all that the ma.
jority of men had to do was to feel
uncomfortable and try to look like
women. Some of the gowns were
real creations Of the dressmaker's
art, upon which their wearers spent
several days of thinking and design
ing. One gentleman, in order to make
more real and lifelike his ! resem.
blance to Venus de Milo, had remov-
ed the hirsute adornment from his
upper lip. Others wore their gowns
considerably above their ankles that
they might exhibit to the big audi
ence symmetry of their shanks con-
cealed beneath pink hose. Jessie FL
lington, who was one of the ring
bearers, and Ashliella Sowell, one of
the flower girls, might we'll have
made an artists model or a chorus
girl, proud of their forms, feel pangs
OF envy.
As for the rest Of them, the CON-
ments of certain jurist about the
city, who witnessed the performance
with great glee, might we'll be quot
ed: "The brutes were quite coy and
charming, generally speaking, and
barring their walking like lot of
cows with crippled hoofs. Bishop
Hughes, the minister, was at his
best, to the manner born. Grandma
Church, with her specks and gentle
fan, was loveable old fraud. Suf-
fragette "Joe-se-fine" looked the part
as if she had not only been convinc-
ed, but convicted. The bride, Miss
Juanita, was immense, yea, vast. The
bridegroom naturally looked scared"

ISLAND OF TENEDOS.

Tenedos, which certain powers have taken away from Greece, has become well known by name from having the good luck to get men toned in the first book of Homer's "IIiad" instead of the last. as well d. in the beginning of Nirgil's "Aeueid. Ever since Homer's day 'hjs fertile islet lying at the entrance to the Dardanelles has been consid- cred of great strategic importance. Daring classical times the laws and cltI institutions of Tenedoe were celebrated for their wisdom, and were discussed with approval in a lost treatise of Aristotle.

HAD COACHMAN IN CORNER
Old Gentleman's Neat Solution of Question Which Affected His House
 hold Arranseme

A dispute had long existed in a gentleman's family between the cook and the coachman, about bringing the cream from the farm for break fast. Their master one morning called them both before him that he might hear what they had to say.
 The cook pleaded that the coach man was lounging about the kitchen the best part of the morning, yet he was so ill-natured that he would not fetch the cream for her, though he saw she had not moment to spare. The coachman said 1t was not his business.
 ''Very we'll. said the master; but what do you call your business /"
 "To take care of the horses and clean and drive the carriage" re- piled the coachman.
 You say right" answered the master, and l do not expect you to do more than that for which 1 pay you; but this insist upon-thaf every morning before breakfast you get the carriage ready and drive the cook to the farmers for cream; and l hope that you will allow that to be part of your business. ."-Iondon Tit-Bits.
