FEWEE FAILURES.
Married on a Railroad Track.
A Charleston preacher has beat
en the world’s record in the matri
monial line. A few days ago hie
received a request to go to a resi
dency on the south side to marry
a couple who were anxious to em
bark on the matrimonial sea. The
minister set out in haste to find
the place, but in the rush and ex
citement incident to occasions of
this kind he forgot the name of
the parties, and consequently could
not find the house where they were
anxiously awaiting him. After
rambling about for some time he
had about concluded to abandon
the search when he met the couple
on the C. and 0. railway track.
They had gone forth in search of
the - minister.
At His Word.
Many post-office names are queer
enough to make on^'desire an ex
planation of them. Sometimes,
tiie explanation is queerer than
the name itself.
A minister in Cass county wrote
to Washington in behalf of the
residents of a growing hamlet,
asking that a post-office be added
to its institutions. The request
was -favorably received,- and- he
was asked to suggest a name that
would be acceptable to his neigh
bors. _•
He replied that they were not
hard to please so long as the name
was. peculiar. The post-office de
partment took him at his word,
and “Peculiar’* is the name of the

the Commons, and the youngest

is told of him that on the day of
his-election some one asked him:
“Say, boy, does your mother
know you’re out?”
“Yes,” promptly replied the
youthful politician, “and when the
votes are counted to-night she
will know I am in.”

Some one has defined “the slang

fapplied itself to an explanation of
Rhe origin of the word hoodlum.
