student at the Iowa Wesleyan univer-

G. w. Beck of Fremont, a we'll known
grain and lumber dealer and a sub.
stantial business man. The son found
time during his school days to devote
to social affairs and warm friendship
sprang up between him and the daugh-
ter Of the president of the university
Miss Grace Hancher. Wooing served
to lessen the tedium of Latin conjuga.
lions and chemistry experiments and
finally Beck won Miss Hancher's
promise to wed. But the consent Of
DR.. Hancher was another matter.
While he did not object to Mr.. Beck
as son-in-law he did not consider the
time. right for the marriage until the
young man should have shown his abil.
ity to support wife. At any rate
that is the story as friends of the
young people tell it, and subsequent
events tend to prove It's truth,

Mr.. Beck proved his mettle by ac-
cepting the conditions and at once left

part Of the agreement. Since then
he has spent most Of the time in the
California metropolis and in Tacoma,
Wash, where he is now located. No
