A New Idea.

— ♦ A Yankee paper relates the following new idea that young married oouples might see fit to adopt. " Register please. ' ' Then the fellow wrote „ Joshua Putnam, his wife and their child, Rising Sun, Ind." As he laid down his pen he pulled Mr Cunningham's ear over the counter and whispered : " Ken I trust you with a seoret?" '-Tell ma all," said the clerk, in the key that he used to talk in when with the Fagan and O'Regan Burlesque Galaxy. „ Wal, this is our wedding trip. We war spliced Monday an' are new honeymooning ; so want good care. Don't give a dura for expense, cause we'll stay a day." Just as he said that they were married Monday, the little baby waved its chubby hand and caused the olerk to exclaim : " Your wedding tour ? " Yep," whispered the man. 4 • That's the secret. Everybody pokes so muoh fun at people what's just married that I vowed I'd fool 'em. So when Marthy and me decided on goin' to Chicago I jes' borrowed Mrs Bascom'sbaby. Now nobody guesses that we be a bridal party. I told you that I was no jay ef I do come from a town what don't get the world's fair." " That's a new one," muttered the clerk, as the new arrivals started on their trip to 981, the furthermost room from the office.
