They got out at the Union station, Portland, and as it was raining the groom spread the protecting folds of his new nmbrella over his bride. As the nmbrelis went np, two quarts of rice which had been carefully stowed within came down. The hurrying throng saw the rice, the blushing couple, and "0 iught on."
