The Bridal Tour.

A damsel from Nevada had the good fortune to marry a young ranchmap, who had suddenly become rich. A bridal tour of all the large eastern cities was planned, and away they went, jubilantly happy. On their return the bride was asked if she enjoyed herself. " Well, I should smile," was her positive reply. " What did you think of Niagara Falls ?" ** Oh, they were real niGe, but I didn't care muoh for them."

" How did you like Washington ?" "Oh, just tol'able. The Capitol was prefcty fine, bub I don't take miieh stock in such things." " Did you go to New York ?" . " Yes, we dawdled round there a week, and got tired of it. Brooklyn Bridge was a good deal of a chow, but 1 didn't see anything else I cared for much. " Well, now, do -tell me, what; did you see that you'd like most to see again? What pleased you more than anything else ?"

The young bride's face brightened visibly ; her eyes twinkled joyfully as she said, " Well, when we wae in Ghicago we went to a dime mueeum, and we see there a calf with two heads and two tails. It was born that way. I tell you, it beat anything we ever heard of. John and me, we've both said many a time since, that we'd ruther saw that calf agin than all Washington and New York and Niagry Falls put together. It jest beats all."
