A Tale Of Rice

A Tale Of Rice

Rich Joke on Two Ann Arbor Young Ladies and a Hamburg Couple

A couple of Ann Arbor young ladies played a joke on a strange couple on an Aun Arbor passenger train the other day which was not intended for them. A young Scio couple were married and it was desired to shower them with rice. The two Ann Arbor girls were told that the Scio couple intended to fool them by not taking the train at this city but would probably drive to Hamburg and take the train there. So when the train arrived at this city the young ladies armed with big bags of rice, boarded it and asked the conductor if a young married couple had got on at Hamburg and if so where they were sitting. The conductor had seen a newly married couple, who lived at Hamburg, get on the train and he gave the desired information. The Hamburg couple were looking unutterable things at each other when the young ladies stole up behind them and without looking at their faces broke the bags of rice over them literally showering them. Imagine the surprise, consternation and dismay of the Hamburg couple and of the young ladies who fled as they saw the faces of the newly married. The Scio couple escaped.
