1T was foregone conclusion that If
Mr. Felker, in his speech, made mention
of the clergy who are active in the pres
ent political campaign that the cry would
go out that he was attacking religion.
He did have something to say about Ger
man Catholic parochial schools and the
clergy who are taking an interest in poll
tics this year. There was no attack made
upon religion, but the part the clergy are
taking in politics was severely criticised,
and just as was anticipated he is charged
with attacking German Catholics. Who
ever goes into politics must expect the
treatment accorded a politician.

There was quite a ripple Of excite
ment at Rat Portage. Canada. over a
romantic courtship and marriage OF "A
Rainy River settler. The groom was
Robert Gill. the teacher OF the Indian
school, and the bride Miss Emily
Taylor OF Owen Sound. Neither OF
the contracting parties had seen the
other. but had corresponded and ex-
changed photographs. The groom
arrived early in the week 10 meet his
future wife. expecting her on Tues
day. but in this he was disappointed,
but on Saturday last was more success
full. The train arrived at noon. and
the citizens were aware OF the APP
preaching meeting and turned out In
large numbers TO see the event. As
the train drew in trim-looking young
lady jumped of the car, and her large
dark eyes rapidly sized up the crowd
to see her loved one. Mr.. Alexander
Rocking OF Elm River acted as master
OF ceremonies and at once took the
young bride Ia charge. He introduced
the pair, although he had never met
the young lady. and the groom seemed
greatly elated over the prize he had
drawn. The crowd set up laugh and
could hardly resist cheer when the
party marched of for marriage IL
cense. All the ministers In town were
down at the station. but of course none
of them was looking for the job. AT
any rate, the pair were tied fast and
hard shortly after the arrival OF the
train.
