Harry Goes for Bride.

Cupid laughs at all locksmiths,
and frequently the little fellow en-
joys a good, long laugh all to him
self. His doings are kept so long
from those who would like to know,
F. and when he can throw the seal of
secrecy on the lips Of those whom he
has united and cause surprise by a
startling announcement he has
achieved his greatest victory.
Redwood Falls was the starting
d.. place of a most interesting romance
which Dan eliminated down in an
Illinois town, 40 miles west of Chi
cago-a town wherein one of the
grandparents of the groom had been
wed years and years ago. And on
the sunny morning of Oct. 9Th last,
when Harry w. Ward of this city
stepped off from a Northwestern
train down in an Illinois town, with
Miss Mary Huntington of Malta,
Ohio, leaning lightly upon his arm,
it was to be led by the mysterious
Cupid down to the residence of
minister that joined the couple as
one.
A few hours later Harry accom-
panied his lovely bride to Chicago,
and there, before parting kiss was
given, thestwo agreed to keep the
marriage secret from their friends
until a certain date, and then the
bride sped onward to her home at
Malta, and Harry returned to Red
wood Falls. His mother was his
only confdante, and she applauded
- the union, while. the bride took her
father and mother into her conf
dence, and they, too, approved Of
the marriage, gave their blessings,
and agreed to keep the secret of the
young people.
Harry left Redwood Falls this
morning for his brides home, and
after spending a few days in the old
Ohio town, he will return with her
to Redwood Falls, and the couple
viii reside with Mamma Ward until
spring, when they will go to Aber-
deem, S. D., where the groom will
manage the townsite branch Of the
Carlisle Town Lot Co.

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ellwood
S. Huntington of Malta, Ohio, the
former for many years postmaster
at that place, visited with her cou-
sin, Miss Julia Huntington, now
Mrs. E. w. Fedderly of this place.
The young miss met Harry at one of
the early functions, and it is said,
even admitted by both, that it was
case of love at first sight, and
Harry did his best to protect Miss
burlington from other fellows.
When the miss returned home from
Ter visit Harry was lost, and few
weeks later, when a great football
game was advertised as being on
town in Chicago, Harry had his
'Xcuse, and Mary came up as far as
