Bound to Be Married.

A case in which a young lady of Lee County, Texas, availed herself of the privilege of leap year with a vengeance is reported by a local paper. The young lady is a daughter of John A. Maxwell, a farmer and stock-raiser, who lives sixteen miles in a northeasterly direction from Giddings, and who is one of the most prominent, highly respected, and well-to-do citizens of the county. The novelty about the ■elopement is that, instead of thq young young man stealing away the bride and assisting IwriiOier flight, she actually went after apd stole him away. At the dead hour of the night, after they had retired, she stealthily left the house, went to the lot and saddled a horse, and started to her lover’s house in a blinding rainstorm. In order to reach his home she had to swim a creek. After accomplishing this brave feat .she was safe, for by the next morning the water was spread all over the bottom, and pursuit was impossible.—Toledo Bee.

They’all rose except the editor, who said he was unable to pay his debts because all the rest of the congregation owed him subscriptions.

Her bitterest friend—You have not the face to, have you, dear ? De Gabby—l hear old Lordly is being sued for divorce. Bjones—Actress or typewriter ? Wobtu lots of rocks—a baby. J
