THE HONEYMOON PARADE.
Wedding Custom In One Town When
the Train Is Late.
A small city, which need not he lo¬
cated more particularly than that It is
somewhere east of Boston, has Its own
peculiar way of speeding the newly
married on their honeymoon.
For one thing, every one goes to the
station to see the couple depart. This
is done in many small places. The
showering of riee or confetti and the
throwing of the old shoe take place,
not at the home of the bride, but at the
station. To that extent the city re¬
ferred to Is not unusual.
But in this city train schedules fre¬
quently go awry, and when they do
the unusual happens. The wedding, of
course, has been celebrated on time,
and the reception has taken as much
time as such things usually take. The
departure from the bride’s home is
made in due season to catch the train
If It. Is on time.
The wedding guests rush to the sta
tlon, where all other inhabitants hav
lug nothing better to do have assem¬
bled already. It is a free show which
no one would miss.
The carriage bearing the newly mar¬
ried pair is drawn by white horses and
deeorated with white ribbons. Custom
demands this, and no one has yet had
the temerity to do otherwise.
The carriage arrives iC. the station,
and It is learned that the train is so
many minutes or so many hours late,
Usually the measure is In hours.
The carriage doesn’t wait. It goes
parading. It drives around and around
a prescribed route, from every point of
which the driver can get due notice of
the approach of the train.
The crowd remains patiently at the
station. Other curious persons station
themselves at points along the route
just to see the wedding coach pass.
Sometimes two or three carriages,
drawn by white horses and decorated
ln white, swing steadily arouud this
hymeneal circuit. U seems like an
endless procession. It Is >nt unsual
for a wedding pair to sperJr the first
five hours of their honeymoon just rid
ing round and round waiting for the
train.
When the screech of the locomotive
finally Is heard the driver continues to
swing up to the platform just as the
train comes to a stop. Then the bride
and bridegroom make a mad rush for
the# car aifiid a shower of rice and
confetti and old shoes. The honeymoon
parade Is over—Exchange.
THE REAL BOWERY.
Swiftly Pasting, It Has Never Been
Wholly Revealed.
The real Bowery has never been
written up, and probably It never will
be, because it la swiftly passing. Hun¬
dreds of attempts have been made by
those who have not even penetrated
the surface of its reserve. Its heart
and soul—for the Bowery has both, as
well as reserve—are a sealed book to
the writers. It is a Sargasso sen lit¬
tered with derelicts of all worlds, drift¬
ing back and forth with the endless
ebb and flow of the tide, while all
about them ia the ceaseless activity of
commerce, of development, moving
onward and upward despite the cease¬
less cross current, whlch.no literary
mariner, cruising In these uncharted
waters, can understand.
Those who know It best and have
some skill In writing as well as some
understanding are so overwhelmed by
Its endless complications, Its Infinity
of contradictions, its astonishing good¬
ness and its frightful depravity, the
baffling mystery of its wonderful hu¬
manness and Its fantastic mystery,
that they do not dare attempt to write
even what they know. Only one man
In all literature could have Interpreted
the Bowery—and Balzac is dead.
Most of us know the Bowery through
fugitive newspaper sketches and fear¬
some lurid melodramas. The sketches
present certain phases more or less in¬
telligently, but the melodramas are
weird burlesques, unworthy even of
being scoffed at, so far as any consid¬
eration of truth is concerned. But
these cheap melodramas, endlessly re¬
peated, have built up a fiction that has
come to be accepted as the reality.—
Everybody’s Magazine.
Fooling the Dogs.
In a certain part of Scotland, ac¬
cording to Dean Ramsey, the shep¬
herds used to take their collies with
them to church. The dogs behaved
well during the sermon, but began to
be restless during the last psalm and
saluted the final blessing with joyful
barks. In one church the congrega¬
tion resolved to stop this unseemly
detail, so when a strange minister was
about to pronounce the blessing all re¬
mained seated Instead of rising, as he
expected. He hesitated and paused
till an old shepherd Aaded: “Say awa’,
sir! We’re a’ slttin’ to cheat the
dowgs!”
Breakfasting With Whistler.
The was a foreign painter who used
to breakfast at Chelsea, and when
Mr. Carr asked him if he had been
there lately he replied: “Oh, no; not
now so much. He ask me a leetle
while ago to breakfast, and I go. My
cab fare, two shilling, ’arf a crown. I
arrive, very nice. Goldfish In bowl,
very pretty. But breakfast—one egg,
one toast—no more! Oh, no. My cab
fare, two shilling, ’arf a crown. Fdr
me no more!”—London Telegraph.
With a String.
“Do you trust yonr husband im¬
plicitly?”
“What a question! Why, of course I
do—to a certain extent.”—Cleveland

IF1AMC H. SWEET.
Copyright, 1908, by Frank H. Sweet.
H IRAM JUDSON was disturbed.
It was not business matters
alone that troubled him, but
a mixture of business and fam¬
ily matters. He cordially detested the
combination, having endeavored to
raise his children, particularly his son
Fred, In simple honesty and without
too much knowledge of business life
from the speculative side,
He did not know whether to be glad
or sorry that he had read all the new
novels dealing with thd stock market
entanglements and gone to modern
business plays appearing at the thea
ter. It was one thing to have knowl
edge of the realistic side of dealing
In stocks for his own sake and quite
another to discover through this wis
dorn disagreeable complications involv
lug his son, his trusted stenographer,
Miss Alice Cresswell, and heaven only
knew how many more. Ills wife and
daughter might be pitted against him
for all he knew. Such things were
common in the books he had read and
the plays he had seen.
It was shortly after he began cor
nering the orange market that the dis
eovery was made. He remembered
but vaguely the first Instance when his
attention had been drawn to a strip
of white paper lying upon the stenog
rapher’s desk, on which a number of
characters from the typewriter wer*
inscribed,
He paid no particular attention to
the matter at the time, but since then
the strips of paper had appeared more
frequently. Yesterday he had discov
ered a new one, and when Miss Cress
wel j was out t 0 i unc h his suspicions
( et | him to examine her desk, disclosing
several more.
Judson held the strips of paper in
3i!s fingers. They were apparently In¬
310cent> and a n l)ore n harmless series
of typewriter characters. Tie one he
had discovered the previous day had
the following marks upon it:
28XX 697 X7:? = 59%@0 @5 $2@:$?
The more he looked at the odd char¬
acters upon the strips of paper the
more Judson felt within him that he
had stumbled upon an incriminating
\ if

PUBl*. v
cipher. Perhaps he was the victim of
a plot. The question rang In his ears
Incessantly in spite of himself. ’
The Idea made him shudder, for he
had a suspicion that his son Fred had
left the incriminating paper on Miss
Cresswell’s desk. It had appeared
there shortly before she went to lunch,
when Fred was In the room, and with¬
in five minutes after he left Miss
Cresswell put on her jacket rather
hastily and followed.
He had the Florida orange crop well
in hand, but there was a hitch in the
southern California product. Matters
had to be handled skillfully, and a lit¬
tle information placed in certain hands
would undoubtedly ruin him at this
particular time. He had always had
perfect confidence in Miss Cresswell.
Khe was the daughter of a former
business associate who had failed, and
Judson had given the girl worlf in his
office, which she needed badly. His
sou, of course, was the apple of his
eye aud would ultimately fall heir to
his immense fortune, Fred was just
finishing up his law studies uud had
never dabbled in stocks—at least to his
father’s knowledge. He had no money
to dabble in them wtth. and yet—those
books—those ptiys!
“I wish I had never read those books
or seen those plays.” said Judson to
himself. “I would rather my son
would rob me of my last jtenny than
that I should distrust him for a single
moment.”
With this he tried to dismiss the
matter from his mind, but the cipher
had done its work.
He could make nothing of the char¬
acters on the paper fctrips. The ques¬
tion mark at the close of the one he
liad found the previous (lay he took
literally. Somebody waDted to know
something. Miss 'Cressfell knew his
secrets thoroughly. Was Fred try¬
ing to sell him out? The question
fairly burned into his brain.
Next day Judson was on the alert
Fred came Into the office shortly be¬
fore noon, as usual, and they passed
customary greetings. The young man
apparently paid no attention to Miss
Cresswell. yet Judfwn observed hlrj
leave a strip of paper on her desk. Tba
girl studied it intently, while t# all ap¬
pearances gjing on with her typewrit¬
ing.
Fred left the office, and In a short
time Judson saw Miss Cresswell slip
the paper under her notebook and pre¬
to leave. 'When she had gone
rushed eagerly vo get tba paper.
He examined it as closely as he had
the others, but the character*

a continuous mound, constructed In a
perfect circle, more than 5,000 feet In
circumference. . The mounds are often
covered with trees that are many cen

structures are thought to be move than

The 'mysterious people w ho built

fortifications abound In the mound
builders’ country, Indicating that the
aborigines had martial lore and en
gineering skill and that they under¬
stood many modern principles of at¬
tack and defense.
There are also sepulchral mounds,
some of them sixty feet high. These
contain human bones, skulls, etc., as
well as copper utensils and bits of pot¬
tery, The bones when exposed to
crumble at once to dust. As the bones
of Europeans who died twenty cen¬
turies ago are often found .intact and
strong, many authorities believe the
mound builders date back' at least
several centuries before the time 1 of
Julius Caesar. i' ’■ >
i
Cleverly made pottery and copper
bronze implements of war and peace
are found all through the mounds.
Ancient abandoned copper mfees on
the banks of Lake Superior 1 Show that
the mound builders well understood
the art of mining. The workmanship
of the copper bracelets, bronze knives,
etc., prove their, skill at the forge.
In 1 one of the prehistoric Lake Su¬
perior mines weighing has eight been foun'd'^niafejpf tons, resting’^n f

skulls discovered in the mounds are
not shaped in the least like skulls of
Indlans nor even of Europeans. Some
archaeologists claim.to find strong re
semblance between the mound build

Egyptians. If there - were any connec¬
tion between the t wo. .who can explain

The fate of the wound builders Is
as mysterious- ris the strapge people

civilization tlm^’it and thriving for. so long a
seems str ruge that they should
havq been completely destroyed. No
satisfactory explanation has ever been
offered. ‘Perhaps the mound builders
moved south and became merged with
the Mexican Aztecs : or Peruvians/or
some savage race from the north may
have swept down and utterly destroy¬
ed them.'or a wholesale pestilence may
have Wlped’out their nation.
The weird looking earthen monu¬

the sole remaining proof that this
great lost American race ever existed.
