Show Wise 'Bridegroom. "Alert?" repeated former Vice-President Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks when questioned concerning one of his political po-litical opponents. "Why, he's as alert as a Providence bridegroom I heard of tbe other day. You know how bridegrooms starting off on their honeymoon sometimes forget all about their brides and buy tickets for only themselves? That is what happened to the Providence young man. And when his wife said to him. Wby, Tom, you bought only one ticket' he answered without a moment's hesitation: hesita-tion: "By Jove, yu'r right, dear. I'd forgotten myself entirely!'"
