Forgiving Spirit.
In his "reminiscences General Gordon
tells Characteristic anecdote Of an &C.
centric southern divine, the Rev. Rob-
ert ]. Breckenridge, who was one of the
most eloquent and feryid not to say
bitter advocates Of the Union cause.
His trenchant pen and flashing tongue
spared neither blood relatives nor min
listers nor members of the church, not
even those of the same faith with him
self, provided he regarded them as I'M
true to the Union. On his deathbed
his family and some of his church
members were gathered around him.
They were most anxious that he should
be reconciled to all men and especially
to southern sympathiZer Of his own
church, DR.. Stuart Robinson of Ken
lucky, before he died, and they asked
him, Brother Breckenridge, have you
forgiven all your enemies:" ooh, yes;
certainly l have" well, Brother
Breckenridge, have you forgiven our
brother, DR.. Stuart RobinsonY' Ger
tainly l have. Didn't / just tell you
that l had forgiven all my enemies 2
But, Brother Breckenridge, when you
meet Brother Stuart Robinson in heav-
en- do you feel that you can greet him
as all the redeemed ought to greet one
another?" Don't bother me with such
questions, Stuart Robinson will never
get there!"

A Good Wife.

I heard Mrs. Robbins commended the
other day as remarkably fine woman.
Her great merit had been demonstrate
ed, her laudator said, by her making
Charles Robbins such good. wife.
That means of course that she has
made a fairly good husband out of
Charles. When you hear of women be-
ing good wives it is worth while to re-
member that the usual proof of a good
wife is good husband.-Harper's Ba-

For the ironing BOARD.

The SO called charity blanket makes
an excellent cover for an ironing board
because it is hard. The ironing sheet
which goes over it should have tapes at
each corner, ii it is to be used on ta-

an ironing hoard it should be tightly
tackled or sewed to the blanket.

dreenwood-Conger Wedding

One of the social events of the
town of Silver City, Iowa, was the
marriage of Miss Ada Greenwood
to J. Leonard Conger, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Greenwood,
on Wednesday,, June %, 1904 Old
friends and neighbors to the num-
Der of eighty from Shenandoah,
Malvern, Sidney, Council Bluffs,
Fontanelle and others from Neb-
raska and Colorado had gathered
at the beautiful Greenwood home
to witness the ceremony and par
ticipate in the festivities of the &C.
casion. The home was beautifully
decorated with cut flowers and
potted plants, smilax and terms.
AS the clock was striking out the
hour of high twelve, Miss Ida Huff
aker, friend of the bride, began
playing the wedding march which
announced the presence of the bril-
dial party. This was led by Rev. H.
L. Wissler of Cincinnati, Iowa, Mr..
Conger's old pastor, who was fol.
lowed by Master Charles Greenwood,
five years old, nephew of the bride,
bearing on his arm little Miss Fern
Spelbring, four years old, a niece
of the bride. Master Charles car.
ried in his right hand large red
rose in which was hidden the we'd,
ding ring. So beautiful was this
part OF the arrangement for the &C.
casion that all eyes seemed to have
forgotten for moment the bride
and groom in following the 'fairy
couple" as they marched down the
long stairs and through the hall
and took their places in the large
bay window in the east. Following
them came the contracting parties.
the bride bearing large bunch of
brides roses. Rev. Wissler then
spoke the words that made them
husband and wife. After congrat.
ulations and many wishes for their
safe and pleasant journey through
life, all sat down to an elegant four
course wedding dinner.
From those who have known Miss
Greenwood from childhood we
learn that Mills county has none
more universally loved than she, In
church work, leader; in society,
an example worthy of imitation.
One of the beautiful features of the
occasion was the presence of her
large class of young men, who all
came up in body to congratulate
their teacher and leader on this
happy event.
Mr.. Conger needs no introduction
to the people of Extra. His stay OF
several years among them as prin-
cipal of their schools, has left the
impress of pure and true life on the
character of many of our young
people and his work goes on. For
the past two years he has been at
Ann Arbor, Mich, pursuing his
studies where he will receive his
Bachelors degree next year. The
past year he was given a Fellow
ship which only adds another testi-
mony to his true worth of charac-
ter.
Mr.. and Mrs. Conger will soon re-
turn to Ann Arbor carrying with
them the good wishes and bless.

no one there equal in aviordupois OF
age to stand up against them, at
once set to work to make rough
house and close the dance, but not
until they had beaten Folly Little.

injuries; young Myers kicked in the
side and severely injured other
ways and young Schlater pounded
and nose scratched. The young
fellows attending the dance left
these three to defend themselves
and hied away in security until the
melee was over and the DULLES had
lett. 1t is understood that the
hoodlums will be dealt with to the

on account of the part they took in
the cowardly onslaught but on &C.
count of the insults and obscene

ladies present.
