THE JOLLY BEST MAN.
HE TELLS WHAT HEAPS OF FUN HE
HAS HAD AT WEDDINGS.
Mia KTnprlfnpp.. He Relate
Them, Also Explain Why He R
uiaini, as He Say He Always WU1
Remain, a Free and Eaiiy Bachelor.
"This," said the bachelor, "has been
mv busv week. I'm it for two weddings,
and I've beelf attending to my duties as
best man. The weddings aren t due ror
several days, but the arduous duties of
my role began teti days ago. I'll never
get married. N, sirree! If there
wasn't any other reason, why, I'd ney el
have the cruelty to ask a friend of mine
to go through the troubles of a best man.
I've been through them too often myself.
In the first place, they"
"Who?"
"Oh, the individuals commonly refer
red to as 'the happy man.' Happy!
You never saw such a good imitation of
blue funk as a bridegroom to be can give
during His last week of bachelorhood.
His mental and moral teeth are all of a
chatter, and he clinss to his best man
like a prisoner to his last hope. I've
jollied a dozen of them through that in
teresting period, and I've seen good,
.sensible, hard headed fellows go clean
daft before they got through.
"I'll never forget one chap. The wed
ding was to be at 12 o'clock, and of
course we were out in the vestry a quar
ter of an hour ahead of time, so as to
be sure to be ready. That is one ad
vantage the man has. He can drive
there with a leisurely margin to spare,
but the bride has to time her trip so as
to get to the front door as nearly as pos
sible on the stroke of the hom Of
course she doesn't want to wait around
the vestibule, so she is generally at least
a few minutes late,
r, "Hut, 1.1 Css you, the bridegroom nevei'
thinks of that. He just walks holes in
the vestry carpet, eats the ends off his
glove fingers and bullyrags the longsuffer
ing best man. This particular chap began
to fume about five minutes before 12
o'clock. At three" minutes to 12 he was
white with terror. When his watch show
ed the very hour, he began saying things.
" 'She ain't coming!' he snapped out. 'I
won't wait.
'Go 'way with'you!' I said. 'Did you
think she was so anxious to have you
that she'd come down here at daybreak
to be sure to be on time?'
" 'But it's past the time now,' he pro
tested, showing me his watch, which indi
cated 30 seconds after 12. I learned later
to get hold of the. happy man's watch be-
foie we went to the church and turn it
back from 5 to 20 minutes, according
to his condition. This time, unhappily, I
hadn't done so, and the poor fellow sim
ply got more frightened with every tick
of his watch. At two minutes after 12 be
made a dive for the door.
" 'I won't wait,' he said when I caught
him by the arm. 'J tell you I won't wait
to be made a laughing stock of. Those
people .in there,' jerking his thumb to
ward the church, 'are talking about it
now. I can hear them. They know she
won't come. I tell you I won't s'ay.'
" 'But I tell you she'll be here in a few
minutes,' I protested. 'She's only a little
late.'
" 'Well, then, if she's late she isn't
worth waiting for anyway. I she'
"He was just a blethering idiot by that
time, you know, and simply restrained
him by force for a few minutes until we
were notified that the young lady had ar
rived. Then I wiped the cold perspira
tion from his forehead and from mine,
addressed him in a few bracing phrases
which shriveled the paper on the vestry
walls, took him by his arm limp it wqs
as a rag and steered him into the
church.
"Why, you've no idea of the number of
nn?s a Drosnective bridegroom runs
against the week before he is married.
I'll never foiget the first time one of
them came to me to. be rescued from the
hat problem. He had that look of utter
despair I've so often seen on their faces,
poor things! He looked as if he was say-'
ing:
" 'I've put up with everything, and I've
been as meek as a Christian martyr, but
the worm has turned.'
"What he did say was, 'How do I get
my hat?'
" 'Hat?' I said.
" 'That's what I said,' he declared.
'How do I get my hat? Tell me that, will
you ?'
" 'Beg or borrow it, my dear fellow,' I
said, recovering myself and trying to be
facetious. 'That is the favorite method
of obtaining it. I don't advise you to
steal one unless you want to do a comia
opera act and pass your wedding eve in
the county jail.'
" 'Don't get gay, he said briefly, 'but
tell me how I am to get my hat after the
ceremony is over. I've had a sleepless
night over that thing. I go into the
church by the back door, don't I? And I
go out by the front door. Now, how do I
get my hat when I go out?' he persisted,
his voice getting higher. 'I can't take it
to the altar with me, and I can't ask to
be excused after the ceremony so that I
can run back to the vestry and get it.
What am I going to do, I want to know T
"Well now, you know, most people
don't think of those little things until
they run right up against them, but I tell
you when a bridegroom to be meets a
problem, even if it's one that wouldn't
feaze an infant, he just topples back on
to his best man and howls for help. I've
got two of them on my hands now, and
the two of them together won't be as
happy as I shall be when their carriage
doors have both banged .shut and they
are off on their honeymoons. I don't
know what excuse other people have for
that tired feeling, but the best man at a

A Public Church.
Probably the only public church In th
world is at Cynthiana, in Posey county,
Ind. It does not belong to any certain
denomination, but is, open to all creeds
who desire to hold Services there. The
church was built by the Wilkinson fam
ily, one of the pioneer families of that
county.
The church stands about a mile soutn
of Cvnthiana. It is a neat little building
and will accommodate about 1,000 peo
ple. The church is looked after by a
board of trustees. iNear the cnurcn is a
cemetery, where all the Wilkinsons are
buried in a row. The burial ground is
nublic. and the farmers living in the
neighborhood see to it that the place is
not neglected. Every spring the farmers
lay aside their work for a day and put
the old burial ground in good shape.

Consumption is curable.
The discovery has been made, perfected.
triumphantly tested and given to the world
by the eminent American medical expert
specialist Dr. T. A. Slocum.

plete and comprehensive System of Treat-

annihilator of Consumption, coughs, colds,

The Vienna men of lavr have recently
distinguished themselves in a unique man
ner. A Wachau peasant had been caught
in the criminal act of throwing stones at
rabbits. " He had not hit them, and the
rabbits had decamped without so much as
suspecting the attack, but the peasant
was hauled before the high courts of jus
tice. His defense was that the rabbits had
been close to his garden and that he had
only tried to frighten the greedy rodents
off his cabbages. All the same, he was
condemned to three days' imprisonment.
The peasant appealed against the sentence,
but in vain. If a rabbit had been kUled,
said the authorities, the peasant would
certainly have stolen it, and stealing a rab
bit was an unlawful action. And thus the
man from Wachau went to prison for three
days, and the wise judges of Vienna have
bounded into fame for their new method
of applying the "if" and "and" theory.
