THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1912 CUPID EXCEEDS SPEED LIMIT New Jersey Couple Meet, Woo and Wed All Inside of Thirteen Hours. Cupid exceeded the speed limit for quick marriages when Piscel Balais of Dlark street and Miss Rosa Razca of Cass street boarded the train at Trenton, N. J., as perfect strangers, and within 13 hours had ridden to matrimony and happiness. The young couple had never seen sach other until they were introduced at the home of a friend. The youth, captivated, was soon riding on alr, and began his suit immediately. At ten he popped the question aggressive ly, and the maid surrendered, not lay ing down her arms, exactly, but mak ing better use cof them. At 10:30 Miss Razca had bought her trousseau and Balais his wedding suit, both purchases being made in a store where the girl was a saleswoman. When the city hall opened the couple were waiting to get the license, answered the required questions in a few short moments that seemed all too long. Then they looked up a cler gyman and were married half an hour afterward, The Hungry Bullfrog. “Did you ever know that the bull frog was carnivorous, eor, in other words, a cannibal?” said Niek Gilbert, one of the operators at the electrical bureau. “I never did until several years ago, when it was demonstrated almost before my very eyes. I have been interested in fish culture for vears and have made a study of their habits. So that I could study them at closer range, I built & big aquarium in my yard, one that held 650 galions, and along with a fine collection of fish I stocked it with seven fine big bull frogs. “The sparrows used to drink water from the edge of the aquarium and this day, while my wife was looking on, one of the frogs leaped wup, caught the sparrow and took it beneath the water. I could hardly believe that a frog would attack and vanquish such a fighter as the English sparrow is known to be, so in the interest of sci ence I emptied the aquarium, and sure enough, down in the bottom was the sparrow. The frog had taken him down below, but either could not swal low him or else did not have the time. Following that I began to miss some valuable Japanese fantails, and, after removing all the frogs but one, waited until I missed another fish, when I killed Mr. Frog and found that he was the robber. Before that I believed the fish had been stolen by cats. The bull frog is aggressive and can take his own part any time.” New York Scenery. I heard someone descanting about her view, says Jare Stone in New York Press. She said one thing she’d always hated in New York was not having a view, and now she had one. She took me up to see it. “Well, where is it ?” gaid I, looking out of the window. “Why, there and there and there!” said she. “Don’t you see how I see over that roof to the next one, and down in the street to the mail box and overhead to that bit of sky?” I gaid, oh, yes, and how nice it was that she had it. It’s really pathetic what New York can do to us. It’s pathetic when somebody thinks that what she showed me was a view. A vigw- Growth of the Game. “Baseball is adopting many innova tions.” “What now ?”’ “In addition to nine men playing ball it i 8 now considered necessary to have a couple of comedians in uniform on the side lines.” “What for?” “To distract the attention of oppos ing players.” “Um. If that’s the trend, we’ll soon have a female sextet.” Mr. Pinkie Kopli’s many friends are glad to see him out again, after a slight attack of fever, at A ARG WS TS AR BST AT WHERE SEDAN CHAIR IS USED The 3-Century-Old Vehicle Is Still Seen on May Day in Knutsford, England. . The news that there is a woman still living who rode in a Sedan chair is a reminder of the fact that there is one town in llngland where a Sedan chair is still used. It is at Knutsford, in Cheshire—the “Cranford” of Mrs. Gaskell. Every May day Knutsford arrays itself in gala attire. Sports are held on the village green, the May queen is elected and crowned, and— in order that no aspect of antiquity should be missing—the Sedan chalr is produced. Whatever may have been absolutely the latest date at which a Sedan chair was used, the chair, at any rate, had longer life than most forms of public conveyance. For it appeared in Eng land as early as 1581, and in London fifty yvears later, when Sir Francis Dun comb obtained the sole privilege of letting and hiring them. Thus the Sedan chair was in use for roughly three centuries, and how many hand soms are likely tp be carrying passen gers in 2133, which will be the tercen tenary of their introduction?—London Chronicle. Prehistoric Dinosaurs Found. What is believed to be an important find of hitherto undiscovered species and genera of prehistoric land reptiles has just been made. Twelve fossils or skeletons of dinosaurs, among them two complete brontosaurs—the largest animals that have ever lived—were unearthed from the side of a cliff nine miles north of Jansen, Utah, in what was, in distant ages, a river; as the cobbles, mussel shells, and sand en vironing the bones showed. Besides these specimens of the extinct bronto saurus fossil, remains of several stego saurus specimens were also brought to light. These, Mr. Hartley M. Phelps tells us, are very rare. The stegosau rus was the most grotesqgque animal that ever existed. The brontosaurus often attained a length of 80 feet, but it had a small head. Its neck and tail were short. Like the stegosaurus, it lived by eating succulent herbs. It had powerful legs, 10 feet or so in length. The diplodocus measured 70 feet long, had an-immense body, pow erful legs, and an enormously long tail and long neck, but a small head. It lived in swamps and ate waterweeds. Its remains have only been found on the slopes of the Rocky mountains. The Explanation. At a crab supper in honor of Thom as F. Ryan during convention week in Baltimore a congressman said, apro pos of Mr. Bryan’s attack on Mr. Ryan: “I, for my part, am against this muckraking and mud slinging. Why should out public men be kept con tinually under the lash?” There was a murmur of approval. Mr. Ryan held up his hand to quiet it, then smiled and said: “After all, gentlemen, if you are in the public eye you must inevitably be under the lash.” A Frigid Atmosphere. “Where you been?” “Been to call on that Boston girl. And say!” “Well!” “Whenever I ca¥ on that girl I al ways feel like I had been farthest north.” Doubtful.. “Jones is extremely attentive to his wife.” “Still very much in love with her, eh?” “Rither that, or he is afrald of her.” —PBoston Transcript.

A church bell hung on a walnut tree at Therfield, England, which for 40 years had summoned the villagers to divine service, has been taken down and now forms part of a peal in the newly erected tower of the church. When the present church was erected a tower could not be built owing to lack of funds and a bell from the old chnrch was hung on the walnut tree, whdch is near the church. A Model Servant. Miss Ann Ansell of Weybridge, Sur rey, who recently died at the age of 87 years, Wwas -an ex ample of long and faithful domes tic service. Throughout her whole lifetime she had only one “place.” At the age of 16 she entered the serv ice of the family of the late Sir Pres cott Hewett, and she remained in the same family, as nurse and faithful friend, for 71 years. Keeping Air Fresh. A good way to keep the air of a room fresh and slightly perfumed is to place a jar in some inconspicuous place in the room and put in the jar a small block of ammonia, over which pour some ordinary cologne water. This makes a faint, pleasant odor of which one is hardly conscious. Killed Wlth Billiard Ball. M. Lefant and M. Melfant in Sep tember, 1843, quarreled over billiards and forthwith selected the balls of that game for a duel, They drew lots for the first throw. Melfant won, and so accurate was his aim that his mis sil struck Lefant in the forehead, kill ing him Instantly. Costumes Indicated Conditions. Peasant girls in parts of Europe de clare their unmarried condition by modes of dress and coiffure, and bach elors are scmetimes indicated in simi lar fashion. The zone or girdle had its significance in the Greelt world, and the Roman husband wore as such garb of his own. Virtue in Silence. Silence is one great art of conversa tion. He is not a fool who knows when to hold his tongue; and a per son may gain credit for sense, elo quence, wit, who merely says nothing to lessen the opinion which others have of these qualities in themselves. —William Hazlitt. ~ Ideal of the Philistine. “What is your fdea of classical mu sic?” “Well,” replied Mr. Cumrox, “I don’t profess to know much about if. But it always seems to me that when a man writes classical music he sim ply takes a tune and sees how much he can muss it up.”—Washington Star. Judgment Sometimes at Fault. Believe me, every man has his sor rows which the world knows; and oft entimes we call a man cold when he is only sad—Longfellow. Consolation. The deaf man may yet console him self that his ears serve many purposes, including the supporting of his spec tacles and pencil. R Where Massachusetts Leads.

I told him to condense as much as possible.” Assistant—'He did. His account of yesterday’s afternoon tea: ‘Mrs. Lovely poured, Mrs. Jabber: roared, Mrs. Duller bored, Mrs. Rasp ing gored, and Mrsg. Embonpoint snored.’ ”—=Satire. , What a Woman Knows. ! Men think that women always talk about men when they are alone, says a writer in Harper’s Bazar. Would that that were true! For women are: never so interesting as when they dis cuss the single aspect which men show to women, for that is the only subject that women know. Charming View, Citiman (to house agent)—"l thought you said there was a charm ing view from the front windows? Why, there are only houses to be seen.” House Agent—‘‘So there is a charming view, sir. In the house op posite lives the most beautiful widow you ever clapped eyes on, and she’s always at the window.” Inevitable Result. “I am surprised to hear that Dubb leigh has broken down,” said Stubbs. “He used to have a splendid constitu tion.” ‘“Yes,” said Wigglethorpe, “but he began amending it.”—Harper's Weekly. Possibly Better Off. Some one has compiled statistics showing that one thousand persons in the United States are at present em ployed in walking for wagers. So ciety would be just as well off if they were working for wages.—Judge. ; Consideration, “If T didn’t have such a large famiiy, I could save a little money.” “Don't be too sure of it. If you didn’t have a large family you might bhave an auto.”—-Houston Post. Lost to Shame. “Bearson says his ultimate desire /s to be a United States senator.” “When a man gets so much money as be has be doesn’t care what kind of & life he leads.”—Life. f Wireless Divorce. One of the strangest things in this world is how willing a girl who can’t swim is to embark on the sea of matrimony without a lifeboat.—GalT veston News. ; ! That’s Something. ! The Charleston News and Ceuﬂeﬂ tells of a promoter who had a millio dollars and who now has only a watch. Still, we suppose, that is going some.—~ Manchester Union.
