rather a surprise to their many

the daughter Of Mr.. Peter f. Howell
and was born and grew TO woman
hood within few miles of Brayton
She is not only pretty and accom-
plished, but possesses those many
womanly traits that are essential tc
one who is destined for the higher
and nobler duties Of life. Mr.. Harris
was indeed mighty lucky when he

will make their home in Des Moines
and will go to housekeeping at once
