SHE FORGOT SHE WAS MARRIED.
It is related of an absent-minded young lady that, having been duly married, she started off on her bridal tour. Tho party stopped at a Western city. So far, good. Some time in tho night there came a succession of terrific shrieks from the room occupied by the bride and groom, and the clerks aud employes generally rushed upstairs only to meet a frantic female figure, clad in white, fleeing in desperate haste from her apartment, crying, “ Oh! there’s a man in my room!” The clerk rushed in and found the groom, half disrobed, standing in the middle of the floor, one boot on and the other in his hand, the picture of amazement. He explained that he had just come upstairs and was in the act of undressing, his wife having previously retired, when she suddenly awoke with a shriek and fleif. “ What was the matter ?” asked tho clerk. “ Bothered if I know,” said tho husband. Just then the brido, enveloped in a huge bedspread, procured for her by a chambermaid, came back, looking very red and foolish, and in half a minute she explained the mystery by saying: “ Oh ! Fred, I forgot I was married, and when I awoke I was so frightened.—Chicago liiter-Ocean.
