rooted antipathy to the number
thirteen. This first of the teens has

hardly any person who would not
side step an inch or mournfully rail
at fate should he spy a silver quarter

taken the trouble to scan closely
this small piece Of silver? If you
have not, you will be surprised to
find on the eagle side that there
are thirteen arrows in the bundle,

worrying the farmer very much.

Don't knock. Help yourself
along by becoming popular and
push your friends along with you.
It's dead easy. Be a good fellow
and soon you will have a process
sion following you. No man ever
helped himself by kDoc; 2 other
people down in character and bust
ness. No man ever got rich trying
to make others believe he was. the
only man in town, or the only man
in town who knew anything. You
can't climb the ladder of success by
treadiDg on other peoples corns.
Keep off the corns and don't knock.
You're not the only one. There are
others and they have brains and
know something as well as you.
There's no end of fun minding your

POTOSI NOTES.
Interesting Items by Our Regular
Correspondent.
WALKER MASON MATING.

Saturday Afternoon, Oct. 18th, 1905,
about 4 p. m. at the beautiful home
of Mr.. and Mrs. John L. Kreuger,
Oak Park, Chicago, ILL.,, occurred
the marriage Of Joseph Walker of
Potosi, Wis, to Miss Emma A.
Mason Of Derby, England.
The Rev. DR.. Johnson, pastor of
Oak Park Presbyterian church pro-
nounced the words that joined the
hearts and hands of the happy
couple. The mating Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walker savors of the romantic
order. 1t is recalled by Mr.. Walk
er's friends that something over a
year ago he returned from trip to
points in Canada and the New Eng
land states. And there are those
who know him best discovered upon
his return that he had undergone a
change. At times he was indif-
ferent, his thoughts seemed to be in
other channels far removed from his
surroundings. His friends too were
Just little surprised when during
the past summer he announced his
intention of again returning to Can
ada on his summer vacation. 1t was
then rumored that the old veteran
had at last surrendered, surrendered
as never before, not even to Gen
Lee, but to the bewitching smiles OF
fair maiden from Tar away Eng.
land with whom he met and was
smitten while visiting in Quebec g
year previous and that he would re-
turn with bride. But in this his
friends were disappointed for Joe
as we call him returned as he was
wont to do, but he was minus the
bride. He remained several weeks
when he again dissar feared very
mysteriously. The secret too was
we'll guarded by Captain D. G. Phil
lips and wife, life long friends of the
benedict. The mysterious move
ments however were explained and
all was accounted for on Tuesday
morning wnen Mr.. Walker and
bride arrived in our village, and are
at present at home with Captain and
Mrs. D. G. Phillips. Mr.. Walker
left for Chicago last Wednesday
where he met his bride to be who
came on from Quebec where she has
spent year or more with friends,
and it was then that they first met
and formed each others acquaint-
ance which ripened into q mutual
love affair and terminated success
fully. The bride is a native OF
Derby, England, and is possessed OF
those womanly qualities necessary
to the purest happiness and com
partnership that brings to home
the cheer and help that inspires tC
higher ideals. The groom is one Of
our best citizens and the highest
compliment that we can pay him il
that he is a man Of unquestionablt
integrity who has spent his entire
life among us and is highly respect
ed and honored by everyone. Thei
