CONFIDENT AS TO FJTURE
Negro Bridegroom Asked Parson Who
Performed Ceremony to Walt
Until the Bride Got a Job.
"The pastor of a large Baptist church
fn-a neighboring city, whose congrega
tion in^uded many negroes, received
recently a call from a young colored
man and woman on matrimony bent
Tbe man had been a shiftless person
?ad the woman was known as Indus
trious. ? The preacher noticed that the
bridegroom was all Bpruced up and
concluded that the bride had made
a proper member of society out of
him. so he went ahead with the cere
mony with a good deal of satisfaction.
He had it in mind not to accept a
fee from these lowly members of his
flock, but the bridegroom, with a
beaming face, handed over the usual
small envelope and departed with his
Dinah before the preacher could pro
test When the pastor opened the
envelope hUer he read this note:
"Dear Pastor: I am 6orry I cannot
pay you a fee now for uniting me In
wedlock, but I spent all I had on wed
ding clothes. I will send yoo the
money just as soon as Dinah gets to
work again."
The preacher got a fee later from a
very grateful Dinah, who seemed to
think it proper that she should pay,
and was overcome with surprise when
the fee was given back to her aa a
wedding present

Prospective Mother-ln-Law Dldnl
Want to Lose Her Daughter, but
Why the Delay?
Mrs. DeGroff drew a deep sigh when
her daughter told ber that she had he
come engaged to Mr. Bobles.
"I suppose it's foolish of me to feel
so bad about It," she said, wiping her
eyes, "but I can't help lt. I know it's a
woman's destiny to be married, dear,
and I have always hoped that you
would marry and he happy. But a
mother can never lose a daughter
without feeling deeply on the subject
She can never help ?regarding it as an
awful loss?a tragedy. She cannot glv?
up her little glfl. even to the best mar
that ever lived, v. nbout the deepest
reluctance."
"But, mother, dear?I shall comt
and see yon often And you mustn'i
cry as if it Were going to happen right
away. You will have time to get U3ec
to it"
"Y'/Ill I? How soon are you to be
man-led?"
"Not for nearly a year: Bob think;
that?"
"Not tor a year? What on eartt

SPEAR GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM
One Experience With White Man's
Weapon Was Enough for
African Native.
When Mr.- Montague, the English
traveler, was In Africa, he gave to a
native an old single-barreled gun, and
tho fellow was delighted. He put in
a etna!' handful of powder, end about
n quarter of a newspaper on top ol
It, and finally > ball, and then rammed
*he whole charge down. Then he de
parted. Ih the evening he returned
with hio face battered and swollen al
most beyond recognition. "What have
you been doing?" asked tbexEnglish
man.- in amazement. The native sat
down on i!he ground and said; sorrow
rully: "A little after noon I found the
track of elands, and I followed It un
til 1 found them feeding. I crept up
to one of them. He was twenty yard!
?way. I rested the barrel of th'
gun on a stone, placed the butt
against my nose, directed the muzzle
toward the eland, and pulled the trig
ger. I do not know what happened
for I was blind and deaf for some
time, but when I came to I found my
self lying at the bottom of the gully
The gun was beside me. my face w
as you now see it, and the elands bao
gone away. Son of a white man. it
was very kind of you to grve me a
gun. but it is too good a gun for me?
too strong, too powerful. It need?
the wisdom of a white man to rule
It Take it back. Farewell!"

The minister called In his wife and
servant to witness the ceremony and
proceeded promptly He had the

usual preliminary q"?Rtlons. and then
got from the bridegroom the pledge
that tied him for life to the bride.
He had jus: started with "Do you
take this man." when he was anton
Ished to see the brlrh "-ootp walk over
to a ?of:> -'mly sit down.
"Whn' do you p^n by that?" asked
the minister "Dnnt you want to fin
Ish thp ceremony?"
"Sure " raM the bridegroom. "But
you're through with me I've said my
part, and I'll sit here until she says
hers. I'm tired "
"You'll come back here and stand
up until ft is over." said the parson in
some heat.
The man got up and came back
His bride had not mlnd"d his action
In the least. After they had gone the
