Schairer's store, and collected the usual 25 cents expresi charges. George feit a little proud over the box, coming as he supposed, from the west on the Chicago expresi. VUions of a lovely pair of slippers, or a "crazy tle," or some other beautiful piece of feminine handiwork floated through George's head as he hied hlmself to the rear end of the store to unravel the mystery. Some way the boys in the store each gave a knowing wink to the other, and ior a moment all customers were forgotten as each oue took a line of march alter George, and about the time he had got the box open they were all there to help him admire. But what was our hero's surprise upon opening the box to flnd a card readiDg: "Compliments of Mr. and Mrs. Grover C." Taking off a layer of fine batting, there was disclosed a piecu of cake, two cold potatoes a slice of toast and a hunk of staie bread. This was too much for George's nerves, and his hand shd listlt'Hsly down In hls pocket for a half dollar or two, while ther escaped from his pale üps these significant words: "Boys, let's have some soda water to ent with this ! " A rumor soon spread broadcast that some of the presidental wedding cake had come to our young friend, and the crowds that came to get a nibble were astonished. One of the editorial fraternity, after taking a half-sectioa of the cake remarked that he "couldn't see as it was any better cake than his wife could ui.-i kf ." while another pronounced the toast very crusty. The boys luid lots of fun over It just the same.
