M. w. A. CONVENTION.
Biennial Meeting of the Head Camp
Draws People to St. Paul.

Ten thousand Woodmen were at
tracted to ST. Paul last week by the
NJ. W A. national head camp conyen-
ton The attendance was not what
was expected and was somewhat dis
appointing to business and trades
people OF the capital city who figured
on 100, 200 people being there. There
were perhaps 5000 visitors on hand
to aid in swelling the crowd, drawn
by low rates TO see the sights and
participate in the general good time
The parade on Thursday was a
magnificent affair. 1t was in fact the
biggest thing St. Paul has seen since
the memorable parade OF the G. A. R.
1t was even longer in passing given
point than was the march of the veter-
ans of the COS. An hour and ten
minutes was consumed in passing and
there were over 5000 Woodmen and
in the neighborhood of twenty bands
in line. Besides these came the in
Vulnerable floats adding beauty to
the spectacle. The parade was the
high water mark Of Woodmen pa
rades. The meeting of the head camp
in St. Paul holds the Woodmen record
on this score. Unless there shall be
a continuation of the unprecedented
growth of the order for the next two
years il j. doubtful if the next con-
vention of 1903 will eclipse it.
1t was a holiday in ST Paul. Every
thing was closed. Of course the ex-
ceptions were the saloons and such
like places. But business was sus-
pended Even the servant girls had
a holiday. The babies of St. Paul
household received their morning alb
lutions several hours earlier than
usual, and by o'clock every street
car in the old town was loaded to the
gunwales with writhing, scrambling
mass OF humanity all bent on getting
somewhere to get place from which
to view the march.

in 1903. The resolution allowing the
large cities to institute camps was
showed dnder and 200, 600 is still the
limit.
Our neighboring city OF Boscobel
gained notoriety and was more in
evidence than any other city OF lis
size in the state. In the first place
its band was there and a,tired in
bright, new uniforms. created a favor
able impression in the great parade.
Dr. Chas. A. Armstrong of Boscobel
was made head camp physician for the
state. He will remain in Boscobel
and transact the load of business that
devolves upon one in this capacity.
Every application for beneficiary in
the order before becoming policy
bearing document must receive his
official signature, and for each one Of
these he receives the sum of twenty
five cents, paid by the head camp.

OF the days in the week, Wednes-

worst on which to get married. The
old rhyme runs:
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health
Wednesday the best day OF ali;
Thursday fOrscrOsses.
Friday for losses.
Saturday no luck at all
A bright wedding day is a good
omen. Happy is the bride that the
sun shines on, is an old, old maxim.
If we are to believe superstition,
brides happiness depends not little
on what she wears Something old
and something new, something Dor
rowed and something blue" is in
variably regarded by brides. Accord
ing to an old rhyme:
Married in white
You have chosen all right.
Married In gray,
/ You viii 20 far away.
Married in black
You will wish yourself back.
Married III red.
You will wish yourself dead.

1 Here are some bridal don'ts:
y The bride must never, never wear
SQer complete bridal outfit until ar
aged for the ceremony.
- She must also put on her right shoe
rst and try on her wedding ring only
t the altar, never removing it after
wards.
She should not neglect to weep a
little on her wedding day, no matter
how happy she is.
She must be careful not to look at
herself in the glass after her costume
is completed and before she is actual
ly married.
The bride must not take any hand
in sewing her wedding gown or in
making her wedding cake.
There are many other superstitions
connected with bridal fnery. The
finding OF spider on the wedding
gown by bride is considered sure
token of happiness to come.
Other lucky omens are:
The bridegroom who carries min
iature horseshoe in his pocket will /
ways be lucky.
The bride who dreams Of fairies on
the night before her wedding will be
thrice blessed.
On the other hand, if bride should
by chance see a coffin as she starts
off on her wedding tour she should
order the driver of the carriage to
turn back and start over again. She
may miss train by 50 doing, but if
l she neglect the pvecaution she will
true it. At least 30 says Dame Super
Nstition.
If during the marriage ceremony
the wedding ring should fall down,
The brides fate will not be an envi-
able one.
Never get married on board ship;
if Won can't get married on dry land,
stay single.
Never give telegram to a Bride Or
Bridegroom on the way to church. as
this i a sure omen Of evil.

BRIDES OF JUNE.
Rhymes and Sayings in Which They
Will be Interested.

Radiant June, the month Of roses
and OF graduates is also the favorite
month of Hymen. May is the most
unlucky month in the year in which
to get married, but June IS the most
popular. There are many supersti
tions regarding marriage, and even
the woman who most strongly pro-
fesses skepticism is not exempt from
them.
The relative merits of the various
months with regard to matrimony
are set forth in the old rhyme which
runs:
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1901-06-20

Marry when the year is new.
Always loving kind aud true:
When in February birds do mate,

President Mckinley.

The country was stunned and
Mortified by the awful news from
Buffalo last Friday. The foul
crime was so unexpected. The
country was so peaceful and pros
porous; the President himself was
of such a kindly disposition; there
seemed so little motive for such a
crime that the American people
and not only the American people,
but the whole world, was entirely
unprepared for such an event.
In this hour all partisan strife is
stilled The kindest words that
have reached the bedside of the
Nations patient have come from
some Of the great Democratic lead
ers. All over the country-NoI tn,
South, East and West, comes mes
sages OF sympathy-one united peo-
pie.
The strength of the government
was never better illustrated. Had
the worst come to pass, the
wheels of government would
have moved right along in their
usual orderly manner.
That the President will live
there now happily seems no doubt,
but the grave doubt that ex-
listed for time caused peo-
Pile, amid it all, to look hack over
the career of the President end note
his many successes.
Few presidents have been called
upon to face questions so mOmen-
tous or to guide the Republic over
seas where the charts of ex-
perience and precedent were of less
assistance. And yet in whatever
direction his craftsmanship has been
called into play-in finance, in
commercial problems, in war, in
foreign policies, he has displayed a
clear grasp of all the intricacies OF
the subjects, strong hand in direc-
ting the ship of state, and has been
remarkably successful in results
What place Mr.. Mckinley will
occupy in history, should he die
from Czolgosz' bullet, must be left
to the historian of the future, but
no doubt remains that his name
will rank among the highest Of
Americas great men.
