Some Wedding Description.

The Atchison Globe has discovered
this fine writing in the Rushville News:
The bride and groom presented a
regal spectacle, never equaled since
the proud Cleopatra sailed down the
perfumed, l~otus-bearing Nile in her
gilded pageant to meet Marc Anthony,
while all the world stood agape at the
~unheard-of triumph. To describe the
brides costume beggars the English
language; and imagination falls faint
and feeble before the Herculean task.
She was ~gorgeously arrayed in a calico
house dress, and a pair of lace curtains
ioated like a dream about her figure"

Did She Send Congratulations!

An Edna man is wondering why his
wife photographed her congratulations
and best wishes in response to a tele-
gram of his, according to the Union
vile Republican. He had left home.
and his trip included a night drive. He
had engaged a berth ahead of time and
was comfortably fixed, At one of the
stations an aged lady boarded the train,
but the berths were all taken. The
Edna man's ehivalry came to her res
cue ard he gave the old lady his berth
while he SAT up all night in the smok-
ing compartment. The next morning
he sent his wife the following tele-
gram: Gave berth 70 an old lady last
night. Am all in.

Philip. the Macedonian king, while

A Christians Questions.

Why will a man, who was made after
Gods W image, at times act like the
Devil?
Why will a man pay a good price for
a reserved seat down in front at the
theatre, and then go to church, where
seats are free, and sit in one furthest
back?
Why will he spend two hours at the
show, and hear every word the actors
say, and kick if a minister breaches
over 80 minutes?
Why will a man say he believes in
God. and act as though there is no
God?
Why will a man join a secret order
and pay his dues to promote the feel
ing OF brotherly love. and neglect to
join the greatest brotherhood, Christ's
brotherhood to man, whose only dues
are service and appreciation. and offers
a life time membership?
Why will a man expect his wife and
children to lead a cleaner, better life
than he does?
Why will a man. when offered faith
sufficient to move mountains, go through
life with about enough to move an ant
hill?
What do you think of a man who
says he believes in brotherly love, and
will cheat his neiRhbor in a business
deal? 4.
Why do men hesitate when praying
the Lords prayer; hesitate as they
pray forgive us as we forgive those
who trespass against us2"
Why will men rush through life with
out stopping long enough to thank God
for life and all it offers and means?
Why shouldn't a man be as enthusi-
astic about his reli5ion as he is over a
ball game or an election?
If a mans religion is anything to
him. why shouldn't it be everything?
Why will men go through life life at
a snail's pace, walking or crawling to,
wards God, when they can run and not
be weary?
Why should a man hide his light I'M
der a bushel when a pint cup would do
as well?
How can a man live a day without
thanking God for the immortality of
the soul and resurrection of the body?
Why do men speak of the dead when
the meaning of the word cemetery is
sleeping place?

A Psalm Of Life.

A Psalm of Life.
(With apologies to Longfellow)
Tell me not in mournful numbers
Advertising is dream.
For the business man who slumbers
Has no chance to skim the cream
Life is real Life is earnest!
Competitions something fierce;
If for dividends thou yearnest,
Learn the parry. thrust and tierce
In the business field of battle.
Mollycoddles have no place:
Be not like dumb, driven cattle
Be alive one In that pace.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can bring the bacon home.
And departing. leave behind us
Footprints on another's dome.
Let us then be up and doing,
Otherwise we may be done;
Still achieving. still pursuing,
Advertise and get the 'mon."
