years ago a blooming, happy bride, is

to be mailed by the jiorter at every

among the luxuries of this flying

Such are the American methods of
travel, and Europe has nothing to
compare with them. Twenty-five
hundred miles is a long distance to
travel in any train, and a remarkable
record for the Santa Fe.
J. T. Hall, general agent for the
Bants Fe in Denver, says that, begin

And death has no sting, for the Savior

“Daniel Webster,” said M. H. Gil
man of Boston tbe other day at the
Murray Hill hotel, “a* all tbe world
knows, had a penchant for looking on
wine when it glowed rosy red. At
one time be was driving to Cambridge
from Boston. He was billed to make
a speech at the home of Harvard, and
his companion in the old-fashioned
gig was a member of tbe reception
committee and a resident of the town.
On the way to Cambridge Mr. Web
ster turned to his fellow-traveler with
an inquiry whether there was not
some place in the neighborhood
where they could obtain a drink. ‘If
you will drive a short distance out of
the way to my house,’ was the court
eous response, ‘I think I can promise
you as good a drink of Jamaica rum
as you ever tasted.’ To the house
the twain accordingly journeyed, and
once there the host, true to his prom
ise, set before the statesman a decan
ter of extremely flue rum. The great
Massachusetts Senator poured out a
brimming beaker and quaffed it off
without wincing. His host tentative
ly pushed toward him the water jug,
but Senator Webster, after eyeing it
a moment said: ‘Thank yon, no; I
wanted a drink, but I am not thirsty.’
He then went on to Cambridge and
delivered one of his masterly efforts.”
