MISS Iua IA HOD1auCh.
Another little romance has come to
an end. It's surprises are now over
so far as the relatives of the couple are
concerned, and will be over with the
public when this has been read. Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Rickert are the ones
who INDUCED in it. Mrs. Rickert was
formerly Miss Ida Knoblauch, of Car
yer, MINI.
Mr. Rickert's home is in ST. Paul
He Is favorably known here At pres
ent he is employed by a Philadelphia
house as travelling salesman, but up
to two years ago was engaged in bust
ness himself. He has travelled over
the United States and Canada, Mexico.
and visited the Sandwich Islands. He
is popular with everybody, especially
with children, whom he has a fondness
of hearing call him Uncle Rick
ert,' although he is and will be a
young man for several years to come
But with all his travelling it took a
Minnesota girl to captivate him. and
she was Miss Knoblauch. The latter
was a modest little woman who had
spent most of her life at school and
college and had developed to degree
a natural taste for art by strict APP
plication to study. Miss Knoblauch
took strong fancy to Mr. Rickert,
and after an acquaintance of long
standing and long enough to convince
them they were intended for each other,
they decided to get married. They
didn't want any wedding presents or
anything of that kind, so they concluded
to get married quietly. They planned
a little excursion ON the river. Miss
Knoblauch was visiting in St. Paul at
the time and a little party was made
up for the trip. Nobody in the party
had any idea that Col. Cupid was di-
rector general, except Mr.. Rickert
and Miss Knoblauch When they got
down to Prescott, the party left the
steamer and walked up to the home of
a resident minister. Then for the first
time did the members of the party
learn there was to be a marriage. The
marriage took place and they returned
to st. Paul, each one pledged to secrecy.
Miss Knoblauch, who was engaged
in some art work at ST Agatha's school
at the time. returned to her home, and
Mr. Ricketts, business called him to the
returned last week. The first place
he made for was Carver. He returned
to ST. Paul alone and his bride Joined
him Tuesday of last week. Mr.. Rickert
dropped into the home of his sister,
Mrs. E. J. Cameron, an Case street,
and introduced the young lady who ac-
companied him as his wife.
WHY, AldIllo, L NtlO4l hflOW you
were going to get married." said Mrs.
Cameron with surprise.
mo, don't suppose you did. But I've
been married now nearly four months"
Then they all sat down and he told
his sister about their romance
But what about your wife's folks?''
asked the sister.
well we haven't told them yet
That's what we have made UP our
minds to do next and the question is,
how best to do it,
They talked it all over, and as a
result Mrs. Cameron took the train
for Carver Friday night. When she
returned Saturday morning she was
accompanied by Mrs. Knoblauch. Mrs
Knobiauch heard the story over and
over again from her daughter, and
while she felt like upbraiding her for
not having let her into the secret when
the marriage took place if not before,
still she said it was all right. So Mr.
and Mrs. RICKETTS, little secret had
finally leaked out and everything was
all right. They in the meantime had
taken a fat at the Buckingham, which
will be their temporary home.
Mr. Knoblauch is president of the
Carver bank and is one of the highly
respected and substantial residents of
that portion of the state.
