A NOT infrequent source of terror to the

the small boy one encounters en- route singly

that have always delighted in him, and so
far, despite the possibilities, none of my con-

but, while nobody ever need mark him

should be handled with care, and kept right

comfort.
One of these youngsters once gave me
supreme example of intrinsic honesty which

Massachusetts. l had somehow got the no.

had doubtless expected to realize much soda

whistling along upon his honest little way.

And 10, it was so.
A SIMILARLY distressing moment one
morning out in Montana once brought
me more satisfactory tribute. My train
was hours late, and no preparations had been
made by the usually considerate manage
ment of the Northern Pacific Railroad for
the refreshment of the inner man. There
was neither diner nor buffet on the train, and
as the morning wore on toward noon l be-
came famished to the extent of positive pain
and general giddiness. To my supreme relief,
however, along about half-past eleven
o'clock the train drew into the little station
of Livingston, where connections are made
by travellers to the Yellowstone As we
drew slowly in the welcome sign of LUNCH
ROOM greeted my vision; but the train did
not stop until we had passed the sign by at
least hundred yards. Finally when we
came to a standstill l rushed to the rear
platform of the train, and was about to jump
off when the conductor interviewed
"Where are you going?' he asked.

he, with glance at his watch. @We're

"All right" said he, ego ahead. Only

With that understanding l sped to the
lunch counter and in few moments had a
roll and steaming cup of coffee before me;
but, alas for all human expectations! the
coffee was so fearfully hot nothing but sala-
mander could have hoped to drink it with
safety, and had hardly taken one scalding
sip of it when the whistle blew sharply There
was but one thing to do, and l did it. I
poured the coffee into my saucer and drained
as much as l could of it from that, thrust the
roll into my pocket, and darted after the
train, which had already begun to move
slowly, conscious all the while of the soft
thud of pattering feet, like those of the white
rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, behind me-

Chittenden-Truan.

Wedding bells were vigorously ring
ing seven miles north of Hays on Tues
day last, near the close of an ideal
summer day. Stanley S. Chittenden
and Myrtle H. Truan were married at
the country home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Matt Truan. The young
people are well known in city and coun-
try and have host of friends who will
rejoice with them in the happy event.
At SIX o'clock the stately strains of
Lohengrin's wedding march, played by
Mrs. West. ushered the wedding party
into the presence of about forty guests.
The groom was accompanied by his
brother, Horace Chittenden. Then
came the maid of honor, Miss Mabel
Truan, the brides sister. The bride
elect followed with her father, who
gave her away. Rev. c. F. West of
Hays performed the ceremony, using
the beautiful ring service.
Skilful fingers had arranged the dec
orations. There were pendant white
wedding bells, dropping from pink and
white festoons. Carnations and roses
were conspicuous in several places.
Vines, sprinkled with delicate bloom,
climbed gracefully about the large open
doorway, to make most beautiful wed,
ding bower. Everything was in keep
ing with the beautiful bouquet of roses
carried by the bride.
After congratulations were said ths
guests were called to the dining room
where an ample and excellent wedding
dinner was served II courses. Besides
the well prepared and appetizing dishe:
for the inner man, there were beautiful
carnations to add to his delight.
The young couple received many
beautiful and useful presents in silver
cut glass, linen, etc.
The guests remained until a late
hour, reluctant to withdraw from such
pleasant associations on such a happy
occasion.
We extend our heartiest congratula
tions and good wishes to Mr. and Mrs
Stanley S. Chittenden.
