Get n True Focus.

A habit Of looking at things from a
distorted angle. Of focusing the vision
on things that depress and suggest un-
happiness and misery, is n destroyer Of
happiness and success. A man who
goes about with a funereal face, think
ing "hard times" fearing dull sea-
sons" disaster, panic aud failure
wherever his interests center, Is never
q happy man. rarely n successful one.
Pessimlsm Is a destructive force In
mems lives, just as optimism Is a con-
structive agency.-Success.

Connubial Bliss Consummated.

On May IA, 1902, the marriage of
Mr.. Marinus Andersen and Miss
Jensine Neeraas took place in
Audubon Justice V. E. Horton, we
are informed, performing the cere-
mony in the presence of the wit
nesses necessary in entering into
such solemn contract. The groom
is young man of industrious hab-
its. presents gentlemanly and
pleasing appearance and although
he has been in this country but a
short tirue has succeeded in sur
rounding himself with numerous
friends who will rejoice in the step
he has just taken. He has been en-
ployed as one of the helpers in the
Audubon Township Creamery but
has rented the house first door
south of the Congregational church
in this city and will seek employ
ment here. The bride is compare
tive stranger in this country, for
eigner by birth and came to Ameri-
ca few months since on the same
ship that carried her future hus-
band and, both being strangers in a
strange land, soon naturally struck
up on acquaintance which soon
ripened into love. He came to this
county, secured employment while
she remained in the east engaged
in employment of a domestic nature,
the correspondence being kept up
until few weeks since when she
came to this city, the lovers were
reunited and now the words have
been said that should bind them as
long as life shall last. We under
stand her father iS well-tO.do in far
away Norway. She is young lady
OF very pleasing personality and
will, no doubt, soon be surrounded
by friends, though new, will always
be true and allwish her the consun-
nation ola perfect reign of happi-
ness in her new role in life.
