BLOOMINGDALE. Ind, Aug. 22.-Thurs-
day was an ideal day for a wedding cele-
bration. Plenty OF sunshine, with de-
Iightfully pleasant air, cool and bracins.
When IL was announced in the morning that
the evening train would bring bride and
groom among its passengers from the city
bridal couple Of this season to take an out
ing here. Elaborate preparations were
made. Tents were decorated, an elegant
wedding supper was prepared, plans for a
rousing camp fire were made, and every
body and everything seemed TO catch the
festal spirit. The bride was Miss Gertrude
Miles, cashier with the Bobbs-Merrill Book
Company, and the groom Mr.. Herbert WI
ley, OF an Indianapolis machine company.
The marriage ceremony was performed In
the city. and was intended to come as a
surprise to friends OF the young couple here,
but the secret was divulged. and arrange
ments made for hearty welcome to Tur-
key run. Miss Ethel Sahm. Of Indianapo-
lis. played the wedding march from "Lo-
hengrin' as the bridal couple drove into
the grounds, and royal reception was
given the young couple by the campers
After supper. was served the camp fire was
IN enjoyable occasion And hours later,
when all was supposed to be silent for the
heard All the guests here joined in the
Gaieties of the evening. Mr.. and Mrs
Wiley will spend their honeymoon at this
place.

over. the kitchen became lively. The busy
little woman, one of those nervous, ex-
citabe creatures who find a thousand
things to worry about on such occasions
was getting things in order. Shortly before
noon the guests arrived. A man and his
wife and a lively little son of six. at the
age when the hour before noon Is the long
est in the day. The little woman left the
kitchen long enough to make her friends
welcome and praise the little boy. The
hostess then excused herself and hurried to
the kitchen to give the finishing touch to
what she considered an excellent meal.
The little woman was just giving the
gravy a farewell stir and adding the last bit
of salt to the chicken when she thought
that she had not seen the girl and won
dered where that important individual could
be. The girl was an indispensable factor at
a stylish dinner. After calling loudly i'm the
house, so loudly in fact that the little boy
on the front porch interrupted the CONVEX
sation to ask if someone was not calling
him, the matter of the abrupt disappear
ance of the domestic became serious. 1t
was now nearly 2:3o. the proper hour for
the meal. Setting the things away to
keep the hostess who became ex-
ceedingly excited began thorough search
of the house. but I'm vain. The time passed
rapidly and, as the little woman in her
tour of investigation came into the pres
ence of the company, the youngest mem
Der quickly looked up and asked il dinner
was ready. This brought a sharp look from
the mother and warning finger from the
head Of that household which put Johnny
into a dead silence for some time. The host
ess blushed but the people thought il was
only the exertion from the kitchen and the
incident passed. Finding search of the
house fruitless the woman decided that the
girl might possibly be next door on an err
rand or talking with the girl over there
She hurried through the gate but the OBJ
tect Of her search was no place TO be seen.
Almost desperate and realizing the fact
that 1t was getting very late she decided to
go through the house again.
While passing the door OF the girls room
a sound of heavy breathing reached the
ear of the now truly excited little woman
Could IL be possible that the girl was
asleep? The question was soon answered
for there soundly sleeping on the bed was
the girl who had caused all the trouble
Without ceremony the housewife aroused
the sleeper and too angry for words told
her TO get ready to wait on the table In
few minutes the guests were seated and
what promised to be domestic tragedy
for a spoiled dinner is nothing less-went
of smoothly.

Before you leave Washington. stranger,
and before you, too dweller i'm the capt.

go to the Marine Band concerts at the
White House and Capitol. These muscaes
are given twice a week and seem to have
caught the fancy of majority of Wash

more.
The music played at the White House
and Capitol plaza is of the best Lieuten-

programmes range from Schubert to
Sousa. For this reason the msuic lover
is always sure to be present; for him this
semi weekly treat is one of the most
charming features of Washington life. He

should be encouraged in this country. The
city man will sleep the sounder for it, and
will hold himself on the snaffie the next
day. AS a cure for the America disease
of always doing something strenuous, of
working hard at everything. even ones

AN UPLIFTING INFLUENCE.
Then, too. these concerts act as an up
lifting influence upon the people at large.
There is and must be some good left in a
man who will feel the tears start i'm his
eyes at "Annie Laurie or some of the
simpler airs. For this reason it might be
well if there were more of the better class

little less of ragtime. The Marine Band

in consequence. Ragtime may be safely

WARSAW Ind, Aug. 22.-The summer
season at Winona lake is drawing to a
close and the regular summer visitors are
leaving the ground by hundreds every day.
this fact the largest at
tendance in the history of the park is now
registered and every room on the grounds
is occupied. The ninth annual Winona
Bible Conference. Aug. 16 to q, has brought
people from all parts of the world to
Winona. and for the next five days the
park will be crowded to its utmost capacity.
1t has been necessary to provide sleeping
quarters i'm the entrance building, the boat
house and even the offices in order TO ac-
commodate the vast crowd that has been
present for the past week, conservative
estimate of which is from 5000 to 5000.
The conference has been the most success

and Rev. j. Wilbur Chapman the founder
and director of the conference is highly
elated with the success which has crowned

meetings at Winona, in conjunction with

YANKEES ARE in CONTROL
THEY ARE RAPIDLY COMING TO THE
FRONT III HONDURAS.
In a Few Years More They Will Own

New York Herald.
Honduras is becoming rapidly American
lied, according to John A. Brewer, who left
Detroit about eighteen months ago for the
land Of the banana and is back on a short
visit, after which he will return and, per-
haps, spend years before he sees this coun-
try again.
In the beautiful Sula valley, where the
climate is, except at high noon, the most
pleasant in Central America, five hundred
Americans live within a stretch of fifty
miles. They have gradually taken posses
sion of the entire output OF bananas of the
valley and caused by scientific cultivation
of the banana palm yearly crop of such
size to grow that the Honduras Railway
Company finds its sixty miles of lines taxed
to the utmost capacity. Extensions are be-
ing considered of this, the only railway in
the country.
OF the total five hundred Americans, al
most 60 per cent. are banana growers, the
balance being forcmen or holding superior
positions. The actual labor is all done by
natives. The Spanish language here, the
most correct of the Spanish dialect, the
Castilliano, is rapidly learned by the Amer
leans and the feeling among the natives is
decidedly friendly. 1t is said they prefer to
work for the American rather than any
other nationality.
All nations represented in the dis
trict, but the Sula valley is almost exclu-
sively American. Owing to the poor roads
and the fully occupied time of all the set
tiers the social intercourse is confined
chiefly to Sunday visits. The merchants.

Exchange at San Pedro. town with a pop
ulation of 200. situated about seven miles
from the northern end of the valley. An
American club was started few years ago.
but owing To the great increase i'm business
the planters declared they had no time for
club life and IL was dissolved.
The evenings are spent chiefly ia ham,
mocks outside the houses and i'm the usual
pastimes of the southern lands. The morn
ings and afternoons are for work. while dur
ing the middle OF the day the heat causes
all business To be suspended.
