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.

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 ' % .’.‘fL- ■ UTUMBUED IJPOH AN INOHIMINATXN4* OI 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.

RELICS OF A VANISHED RACE • The Strangely Shaped Structures Are Thought to Be More Than Two Thousand Years Old—The Enigma of Those Who ,Reared Them.

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.
