A DELAYED BRIDE. She Wouldn't? T5o Wedded Till the Condl- v tlons Were All Right. ,r The company waited, but the bride wis not ready. A bridesmaid wi\s sent testify her tlijit George Edward was in ofe oriels room and the baud; under the stairs waiting to 6triko up the first strains of the wedding march; % "I don't carp," she pouted as she threw horself disconsolately on a divan, to the great danger of her veil: "I'm not going to be unlucky all my life if I can help it. Dear, dear, why didn't I remember it sooner." "Remember what, dear?" inquired the perplexed bridesmaid. "Why; that everything I have on is new. I did remember that if 'i "Married in white, • You have choson all right, but I forgot the other: *. "Something old and something new, Or your choice you'll surely rue. Every stitch I have on is new, and I just will not stir a step until I have something old added to. my drtess. " "Take my handkerchief,": suggested one of the girls. "What could I do with it?" whined the poor thing. "BrideS . don't have pockets; neither do they carry handker­ chiefs in their hands. It Would look 'as , if I expected to cry." - "I have a happy thought, " said the; bridesmaid. "Exchange shoes with me." "They won't fit. My feet are two sizes smaller than yours." "Thanks, awfully. Haven't you a pair of your own Cinderellas?" " Yes, I have," said the bride, jump­ ing up in,a hurry. "Your head is level, dear. Look in the,pink box in the chif­ fonier,, or in the blue one. Oh, they won't do, they're so awfully soiled!" ~ "Get me some bread crumbs and a box of powder," said a practical soul in. the party. 4' Quick 1 I' 11 have them white in a jiffy." "You're just dear," saidfthe grateful bride. "Now I shall feel that I am properly married, and that everything has been done to insure my future hap­ piness. Just one thing more for luck: "Hurtle a shoe After me--do." When the bride descended the stairs leaning on the arm of George Edward, the sweet serenity of her face was a subject of favorable comment. Her friends felt that she was not entering unprepared upon the future awaiting her, and she felt that way herself.--De­ troit Free Press. WEDNESDAY. JULY 3, 1895, Ji YAN SLYKE, Editor, TWENTY TEARS OLD. With this number the Plainoealer is twenty years old, and it is with pride that we to-day point to its past course and promise that in the future its march shall be onward and upward. 'In the past twenty years we have met with manysore trials! and while not able at all times to do just as we would like to have done, we have done the best we could, and are pleased to know that our efforts have been appreciated, as is evi­ denced by our constantly increasing subscription list and the general patron­ age of the office.'^ ; . For ^ the coming year we have no special promises to make, only that vre shall strive to make the Plaixdealer better than ever, and if hard work will do it We shall succeed. With this issue a large, number of sub- B«riptions expire. We hope, therefore, all wili be prompt in their renewals, and thus aid us to meet the demands that are constantly made upon a publisher. The close times can be made much easier if all will look at the matter in its true light. With these few remarks we close Vol­ ume Twenty, and will next week com­ mence unfolding the pages of Volume Twenty-one. ELGIN, ILL Special Shoe Sale on that day.

A DOCTOR 'S YARN, It Is of Two Sisters Who Killed Their Grandfather to Ease His Fain. This is a bit of a true story a physi­ cian told me the other day, and it struck me as being the text for a fascinating story of the Sherlock Holmes sort. WTe were talking of the advisability of put­ ting hopelessly ill persons out of their misery as soon as possible. Dr. B. didn't believe in it. "I was asked to do it once," he said. "Two sisters asked me to kill their grandfather, whom I was attending. He was old and could not recover. They seemed simply to pity his pain. I re­ fused. Next morning when I called the man was dead. The nurse 'told me the sisters had sent her out on an errand. When she returned the windows of the sick room were open. There was a strong odor of chloroform in the room and the man was dead." "And what did you do?" 'was asked. "Nothing. The elder sister is now under the caro of a specialist in nervous diseases, yhe cannot sleep. She will not allow herself to be alone a moment, and she keeps the gas burning in her room all night. I think she will end in a madhouse."
