They were unattended.
The bride was very becomingly at
tired in dark green pussy willow
silk dress trimmed with dark green

He KNEW WHEN TO ESCAPE
Story Teller Made His Little Contri-
button to Gathering, and Then
Left HurriedIy.

Story telling was in progress in
the village pub, and the next in turn
was a railway plate-layer Round him
gathered an expectant audience.
st was just such night as this,
he began, bright and clear, with
touch of frost. I was going down the
fine, when l saw before me, lying
right across the rails, a great beam!
For a moment my heart stood still.
Then a distant rumble warned me
that the midnight mail was approach
ing. With a great effort 1 flung my
self between the obstruction and the
line, and the great train passed un-
harmed"
There was a thoughtful silence af-
ter he had finished speaking. Then
somebody said:
eff you couldn't lift the beam, how
did the train get over it?"
YES another interposed, "and II
you flung yourself between the OBJ
struction and the express, why didn't
you get killed"
Both questions are easily an
swered," said the plate-layer, siding
towards the door. "The obstruction
was a moonbeam, and jumped for
ward so that my shadow took its
place Then"
He got outside just in time,-Lon-

CARRYING TWINSHIP TOO FAR
Elder Brother Protested Against the
Accuracy in Duplicate
Careers.

They were twin sisters, six years
old. They ate, drank, slept, worked
and played like twins. Their careers
so far had been almost identical. They
had brother, eight, who looked down
upon them with the superior wisdom
and experience of his two extra years.
One morning all three were walking
to school together. The sidewalks
and streets were for the most part
covered with ice and snow, making
navigation quite difficult even for
strong, young pedestrians. It was too
early for the sun or father to have
cleared off the pavements.
Suddenly one Of the twins slipped
and fell solidly to the sidewalk. No
sooner had she accomplished this
graceful descent than the other one
did likewise.
'Aw, just because she lost a tooth
yesterday and then you went and
pulled one of yours out, too, is no rea-
son why you have to fall down when
she does," was the disgusted comment
of their eight-year-old brother.-CO'

Extensive Repairs.

In order to stimulate his trade, the
village blacksmith hung out a sign
that read, whatever 1t Is, I Can Re-
pair It," On the morning of April
fools day, the town wag elbowed his
way through the usual crowd that was
collected round the door, and handed
the blacksmith the parts of broken
lamp chimney.
'T'd like you to put this together for
me as soon you can, john" he said,
winking toward the crowd.
The smith took the ragged bits OF
glass, examined them carefully while
the idlers looked on with considerable
amusement. Then he went into the
room in the rear of the shop. Step
ping across the alley to the grocery
store, which was out Of sight Of the
crowd, he bought a ten-cent lamp chin
ney exactly like the broken one. How
everyone laughed when he stepped out
Of his little room moment later and
put the whole chimney into the aston
ished wags hands with the dry re-
mark:
'Tll have to charge half a dollar for
that job"

wet fold, although there have been
several elections brought about by the
saloon interests in towns and counties
where the outlook for breaking the
prohibition rule seemed most favor
able"
DEFEATED SIX YEARS AGO.
vote on statewide prohibition was
taken in Missouri six years ago and
was defeated. The dry" element al
ways contended the submission of the
of the brewers and that the time was
not ripe for the vote and that the
"wets' knew it and for that reason
pushed through the legislature the bill
calling for the election.
Since that time the growth of pro-
hibition sentiment in the state has
been remarkably strong, more than
one half of the population now being
in territory that prohibits the sale OF
liquor. This territory comprises more
than three fourths of the state. All
this growth of dry" territory has been
under what is known as the local OPP
ton law. which gives each county and
each town of 1000 population, or
over, the right to determine by vote
whether or not liquor shall be sold
within its borders.
From all sides one may hear the
prediction: 1T will be hard fight
A survey of the country districts and
smaller towns discloses such a strong
prohibition sentiment that the brewers
are not trying to conceal their I'M
easiness. Their chief reliance is based
on the hope that st. Louis and other
