Mr.. Craig and Miss Thompson
man and wife, in the presence of
the BRIDES sister, Mrs. Edgar
LaRue, and Charles Turner, son
of the officiating minister. The
newly married people are popular
entertainers and are well known
throughout the state. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Craig is endeavor-
ing to secure permission from the
interior department to take the
Fort Totten Indian band on a tour
of the New England states this
winter. It is his purpose to show
the enlightened denizens of the
east the savage first in his untut-
ored state-with war dances and
wild Indian pastimes. Mr.. Craig
will appear in his up-to-date
character impersonations- the
whole entertainment to conclude
with instrumental music by the
band in full evening dress. The
scheme is a money making one
and will be a 60 if the government
will allow the Indians to leave the
reservation.
The social season was inaugu-
rated Saturday night by a pretty
card party given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Cowan and Mr.. and Mrs. White to
residents of the grounds only.
Mr.. Whites large tent was the
scene of the happy gathering.
The tent was tastily draped with
woodbine and numerous Japanese
lanterns, suspended from the cell
ing, shed a brilliant glow over the
assembly. Progressive euchre was
the order of the evening. The
head prizes were won by A. E.
Hodgkinson and Mrs. 10. Baugh-
man. The foot prizes, by John
w. Maher and Mrs. S. j. Small.
At ll:30 dainty lunch of sand
wiches, coffee and cake were
served, to which all did ample
justice. 1t was a merry gather
ing and Joy reigned supreme
throughout the evening. Among
those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.
John w. Maher, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. O. Baughman, Mr.. and Mrs
VIM. FL. Brown, Mr.. and Mrs

FIT the Ldke :


About dozen families are
camping on the grounds.
Wolves have been bowling Of
nights lately, frightening the timid,
but the animals are harmless.
Bathing still remains the popu-
lar pastime. As many as thirty
people can be seen in the water at
a time.
I. N. Walker and Billy Hale
came down Saturday to size up
the insurable buildings on the
grounds.
Mrs. Cowan, of Cando, is the
guest of her son, Attorney General
Cowan, and will remain a couple
of weeks at the lake.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Powell and
children, Mr.. and Mrs. Corey, Dan

Next year Mr.. White will have a
cottage Of his own. He will build
on his lot between Lovers Lane
and Nh. Cowan's residence.
If the people who are stopping
at the lake to avoid hay fever,
succeed in escaping this disagree
able summer disease, what a boom
it will give the lake. There are
thousands of hay fever victims in
the northwest.
The steam launch Tioga, owned
by Will A. Powell, of Grand Har-
Dor, was put in first class shape
for voyages the first of the week.
The boat will hold about 25 pas
sengers and is valuable addition
to the pleasure craft on the lake
There is no more delightful
summer resort in the world than
our own Devils Lake. Our home
people do not appreciate this fact

is not far distant when hundreds
of families will spend the entire
summer at this matchless resort

Mrs. Gladstone Never but Once Be
trayed knowledge of State Secrets.
Probably no more ideal relations
ever existed between a married pair
than those of the late Mrs. Gladstone
and her distinguished husband.
Throughout his long career in public
life she was his confidant and adviser,
and was intrusted with the weightiest
secrets of government.
1t is said that when Mr.. Gladstone
became cabinet minister he said to
his wife: "Now, my dear, shall we agree
that | shall tell you nothing so that you
can say nothing, or shall | tell you
everything and YOU agree to say moth
ingf" Mrs. Gladstone chose the latter
alternative. Thereafter her husband
related to her everything that went on
in the cabinet and she never told any
thing except once.
AT one time two ministers were din
ing at Hawarden, and some reference
was made to cabinet matter Mrs.
Gladstone started to say something
which revealed the fact that she knew
the secret. In an instant there was
flashed upon Ter from the brilliant
eyes of her 3band one of those i'm
perious chances which gave to his usu-
ally benignant face a truly command
ing mien.
Mrs. Gladstone was so agitated by
her momentary slip that her usual com
posture deserted her, When the dinner
was over she went up to the drawing
room and had good oId-fashioned cry.
Then she wrote little note of apology
and sent it down TO her husband. and
1.-The incident was closed" to quote the
language of diplomacy.

A Glib Witness

a female witness, possessed of a rich
brogue, was on the stand in Judge
Donovan's court the other day. Her
tongue moved SO rapidly in the nara

interrupted:

REVENGE Is THE CRY OF EUROPE.

Revenge to-day, mourning tomorrow,
is practically the universal cry OF Europe,
but it is sorrowfully admitted that there
can be no revenge to-day, ncr, perhaps,
for many t0-m0rrOws, for the incredible
barbarjties that are reported to have
marked the last scenes within the lega-
tons at pejin. Nothing is clearer, a
London dispatch says, than that the anti
foreign conn0eration is rapidly permeat-
ing even hitherto quiescent provinces, and
the fate Of the capital appears to threat
