A Railroad Man's Writeup of a
Swell Wedding.
A country editor once employed a
railroad man to write up a swell wed-
ding for his paper. Following is the
writeup:
“Last week a large number of guests
were present at the residence of Col.
Jinglesex, to witness the marriage of
his lovely daughter to our esteemed
young fellow citizen Major Raoul Bap-
tist MecGilligan. Col. Jinglesex was
the general manager of the entire guest
system, and had his headquarters es-
tablished in the dining room, and only
left his post and the sideboard, where
the gentlemen were often sidetracked
for repairs, to go through the parlors
on a tour of inspection. Mrs. Col.
Jinglesex acted as superintendent and
yard-master, and most of the time was
employed in the kitchen, where she
had the supper courses made up and
saw that they left on schedule time.
The whole thing was a real ten-foot
driver, Miller platform affair, and will
long be remembered by those who
were fortunate enough to receive invi-
tations. A few moments before the ar-
rival of the preacher who was to pull
the bell cord for the matrimonial train,
old Col. Jinglesex left the sideboard
and started up grade with a heavy
load. The consequence was he slipped
an eccentric, and came into the parlor
running on one side, but was flagged
down in time to prevent him jamming
his headlight through a bay window.
The old gentleman, in stopping to fill
his tank so often, lost the right of way,
and did not witness the ceremony.
The bride was a slender beauty, and
her eyes were of a peculiar pea-blos-
som blue color, and when her lips
parted in a smile they looked like some
one had opened a red pocket-book.
She was dressed in a flowing robe of
yellow-tinted bobbinet muslin a la
ecru, looped up at the sides with a
Hungarian pompadour of blue grena-
dine and fuchus of Queen Anne gimp.
The dress was cut on an incline, forty-
cight degrees across the shoulders, and
curved around the left arm. The
bosom of the fair bride was covered
with a trestle work of Louis XIV lace,
and herj waist was ‘surfaced up’ and
‘filled in’ with artificial flowers, made
attractive by several narrow-gauge
short lines or red trimmings, which
skirted around and centered at a com-
mon terminal point on the crest of her
polonaise. Down on the front of the
robe was a midland route of antique
buff serge, intersected by numerous
feeders of costly fez merine.
The wedding was bon ton—every-
thing moved on. schedule time, and
along the whole line. not a ‘low joint’
o- high centre jolted the gentle glide
uf happiness.”

The Suspicious Prodigal.
The prodigal son sat down smilingly
at the table, remarking that it seemed
good to be at home once more. The
family, with one exception, replied
that it seemed good to see him there.
“What’s this,” he asked suspiciously,
“veal?”
“Yes” saidfhis father joyously, “that
is our fatted calf.”
The elder son sneered.
“No, no,” said the younger son with a
deprecating gesture, “no veal for me,
I worked for six months in a packing
house in the far country.”
“But thisimeatjawas raised on our
own farm, myfboy,” argued his father.
“I had it killed especially for you.
You may depend upon it that it is all
right.”
“I know $I know,” said the younger
son, “and Ijappreciate your anxiety to
provide the best for ‘me, but you see,
father, it is the idea that kills me. No
sir, no veal for yours prodigally. But I
would like a cup of tea and a sturdy
helping of the vegetables and green
truck.”
“That’s always the way with them
prodigals,” said the elder son, disgust
edly, to himself, “I wonder he didn’t
slap father over the jaw with that hunk
of veal Jjust to show his superiority to
the conventions. Well, it’s one of the
things I have to put up with in this in-
fernal hole. I’m tempted to start for
Denver tonight.”
But he thought better of it after din-
ner.— Minneapolis Journal.
THE WISDOM OF ANIMALS.
You cannot induce a lower animal to
eat heartily when not feeling well. A
sick dog starves himself, and gets well.
The stomach, once overworked, must
have rest the same as your feet or eyes.
You don’t have to starve to rest your
stomach. KODOL FOR DYSPEPSIA
takes up the work for your stomach,
digests what you eat and gives it a rest.
Pats it back in condition again. You
can’t feel good with a disordered stom-

“Oh, dear! Oh, dear! What shall I

“] s'pose so, mum. Maybe ‘you'd

“] can’t; I can’t. Oh, it serves me
right for not k.ssing him more than
three times when he left. And we've
been married such a short time, too!”
“Why dont you open the telegraft,
mum?”
“Well, I suppose I must; but, oh!
I can’t tell you how I dread it!”
And then she read the telegram:—

No Place For Lawyers.
Many unkind things are said and
printed about members of the legal
profession, only a few of which are de-
served.
“Billy” Saunders is a natural born
wit. He is in his eightieth year, liv-
ing in New York, and is still work-
ing at his trade, painting. Om a recent
occasion ‘‘Bflly” and ome or two of
his mates were beautifying a lawyer's
office. The younger partner, thinking
to take a ‘rise” out of “Billy,” said, —
“l say, ‘Billy,’ did you ever know
of a painter going to heaven?”
“Yes,” said “Billy,” “I knew of one
once.”
“And do you think he stayed there?”
“Well, I did hear that they tried to
put him out.”
“And did they succeed?”
“No. According to the latest aec-
counts, they had not succeeded.”
“Why, how was that?”
“Well, sonny, it was this way. They
couldn’t find a lawyer in the place
to draw up the papers.”
Diplomacy,
Sunday passed, Tuesday rolled
around and stili his tall form did not
loom in the vestibule when the cuckoo
clock was sounding 8. Thursday he
came and the beautiful girl was burn-
ing with wrath.
“So this is the way you neglect me,"
she hissed. “What have you to say
for yourself? Why didn't you come?”
“I couldn’t, faltered the young man,
“I had the dyspepsia and the doctor
advised me not to come.”
“What? The doctor told you not to
come to see me because you had the
dyspepsia?”
“Well, he told me to keep away from
all sweets.”
The next moment she had him seated
on the parlor sofa telling him he was
the only young man in Chicago.—Chi-
cago News.
Disraeli and the Devil.
Shortly after his entrance into polit-
ical life Disraeli stood for a certain
Middlesex borough in the Conservative
interest. It was a ‘personally con-
ducted” canvass, and, amongothers,
the future Prime Minister soligited the
vote and interest of a well-to-do but
somewhat irascible farmer, who was
suppored to be rather doubtful in his
political convictions.
“Vote for you!” he shouted when
Mr. Disraeli made known the object
of his call, “Why,
devil sooner.”
“Ah, quite so!” said Mr. Disraeli,
suavely, “but in event of your friend
not standing, may I hope for your in-
terest?”
John and His Medicine.
A certain minister, while passing
down the street of a Scotch village,
ohserved one of his parishioners seat-
ed at his cottage door sipping his
broth. This appearing an unusual pro-
ceeding, he stopped and asked him
what was the matter.
“Oh,” replied John, “ the Chimley
is reeking a bit, so I cam’ outside to
sup ma broth! Ye had better gang
in and gie the missus a bit of advice
aboot it.”
The minister had scarcely opened
the door when a female voice exclaim-
ed,—
“Is that you again, you auld rascal?”
and the minister's hat was crushed ov-
er his eyes with a stool.
Without uttering a word the minis-
ter closed the door and, stepping up to
where John sat, said solemnly,—
“John, our chimney at home smokes
sometimes, too!” ?
Her Influence.
“Ah,” declared the man who had
risen from the ranks, ‘I love to recall
the days when as a lad I romped bare-
foot through the dew-covered grass.”
“Then you were compelled tO take
the Kneipp trea‘ment as a child?” in-
quired the pampered daughter of the
Four Hundred.
Non-Committal.
“Mamma, did you ever flirt when you
were a girl?”
“Yes, my dear, I did once.”
“And were you punished for it?”
“It led to my marriage with your
father.” —Translated for Tales from

When all the work is through,
An’ sorter glance the kentry o’er,
Takin’ a bird’s eye view

To patriotic heights—you bet !—
