A Quiet Wedding.

John S. Small and Beulah Orma
Soar were quietly married Wednes-
day at the home of her father, D. E.
Soar, Rev. Hinkhouse officiating.
Ihe wedding came as a surprise
to all the people of the town, no one
seemed to know of it until it was all
over, the dinner eaten and the min
lister seen on the street.
The bride is one of the we'll
known girls Of the city. She has
grown from infancy to womanhood
in the town and has been one of the
bellies of society for several years
and leader among those with
whom she associated. She gradu-
ated from the high school here and
then went away to college, taking
elocution and delsarte as special
ty. She was and is proficient in
this line and has helped out in en-
tertainments here at her home
town. She taught in the schools
here year and last year in the Ex-
ira school. She has a large circle
OF staunch and admiring friends
who unite in wishing her all the
happiness human life is heir to.
The groom is unknown to us or
to many of the people of our COM
nunity. His home is at Egan, South
Dakota where he has a fattering
prospect for a bright future. That
Miss Soar should choose him from
out her large field of acquaintance
is recomm endation that needs no
second and is within itself guar
antee to his being gentleman and
one capable of caring for her
throughout the changing scenes of
life.

HOW WESTERN E r DIED

when the food was beginning to sub.
side the boat started for the south
shore without a load and without bal
last. Mr.. Grafstrom and the boat
struck an especially strong swirl OF
water, and, roughly put together as it
was, it could not be controlled for q
moment. In that moment IT struck q
submerged tree and was upset.
Six of the seven men in it escaped
by catching tree tops. MI. Grafstrom
was a powerful swimmer and under
natural conditions would easily have
escaped. But he had been working
night and day for nearly a week and
was exhausted. Whether his strength
was spent or whether some part Of the
boat struck him as it overturned will
v be known. but he was drowned.
Practically his end vas the result
of devoting his great mechanical skill
and his own strength to saving the
lives of imperiled fellow citizens. He
had had a distinguished career in rail.
roading and had made a name for him
self in the West. One of his brothers
is a commander in the Swedish navy.
Another is an officer Of the Swedish
government railroad.

When the Kansas river swept over
Topeka it was mentioned in the tele-
graph dispatches that Edward Graf
strom, chief mechanical engineer Of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad, and one of the best-known
engineers in the West, was n Of the
victims. How he lost his life, after
being instrumental In saving hundreds
of others, is now being told by his as
sistants in the railway journals that
his colleagues in the craft may know
how he sacrificed himself for his fell
low sufferers.
Thousands of persons were impris-
oned In the upper stories of houses,
on roofs, in trees and in other places
in North Topeka when the flood ap-
preached its worst. Only a few skiffs
were at hand to rescue them and these
were entirely inadequate for the work.
Somehow Mr.. Grafstrom hastily put
together in the Santa Fee shops a
roughly constructed side-wheel steam
Ell. 1t did great work in carrying pro-
visions, ropes and other necessaries
about the flood district and brought in
hundreds of survivors.

THE AGE OF DISCRETION

I for the love-making they do. and the
matrimonial promises they give.
Young women are interested In It,
because it concerns them greatly to
know how old a young man must b.,
and how big he must be, before they
are justified In believing his profess
sions OF affection and in accepting his
pledge of marriage.
Parents of young men are interest
ed in it because it is Of the greatest
importance to them, especially II
they happen to be wealthy, to learn
how old and how big their sons must
be before they can be trusted to go
into the wide world where their at
fections are likely to be ensnared.
Next to the marriage contract
itself, the most sacred contract that
can be made between man and wom-
an is the promise Of marriage, n
from time immemorial courts and
iuries nave so regarded it, and have
+; so decided it in breach Of promise
lawsuits, especially II the evidence
for the has been in the form
Of letters.
Courts and juries are p~roverbially
sensitive to the influence Of love let
tiers. They may be inclined to side
with the man up to the moment the
letters are produced, but If the let
tiers are of the kind that the Judge
and the jurors remember having writ
ten in the days when their tender
emotions held full sway, the chances
for the young man, no matter how old
a young man he may be, or how big
or how little, are very slender.-Chf

No particular race, creed, or country
was selected as recipients of their nu.
niicent benefactions, which were
worldwide in their scope. The list OF
hospitals, orphan asylums. schools and
other kindred institutions which prof.
tied by their open-handed generosity
is too long for complete enumeration.
Among those in this country are the
Hirsch trust, In Montreal, Canada,
100000; the Educational Alliance.
New York city, $500. 900; the Clara de
Hirsch Home for Working Girls. 5000.
900. All these institutions are non.
~sectarian. The Garfield hospital,
Washington, received $500, 900, and
the Lying-in Hospital, New York city.
5000, 900.
Aside from the question Of honorlna
the memory of these eminent philan,
thropists there is also the possibility
that a monument, at least partially
commemorative of beneicence, will
stimulate such a feeling in others with
resultant benefit to future generations
