Fit For a Sovereign.

The wedding of Bertha krupp
is the most sensible affair the rich
have been guilty OF in a century.
1t carries with 1t some valuable
lessons to the grovelling apishness
of our present dav mediocrity,
many OF whom would cry of dis
appointment # called upon to
marry in trousseau costing but
$3.50 Yet that is all the bridal
raiment OF Miss Krupp cost and
she is worth one hundred million
dollars in her own right. She
presented her workmen with cash
gifts OF Sl5O,000 on her wedding
day, but in America if the queenly
daughter of a railway magndte
weds there is over Sl50,O00 spent
on the trousseau and not cent
given TO the employees. The young
girl who has set this high example
is but 20 years old and the man OF
her choice is 36 and poor. She is
well drilled in business and has
charge, by her fathers will, OF the
krupp works, employing over
10000 workmen, who VITA their
families number 100000 sous.
Her character is revealed in the
answer she gave to an Italian
Count, 4 suitor for her hand;
"Do you speak German" she
lsked the Italian without any
hesrtancy.
DO you know anything about
the manufacture of steel, or the
management OF big foundry7"

The Altitude Became too High and the
Temperature too Frigid.

On Wednesday quantities of
circular were issued and scattered
on the streets announcing the
of the gentleman who
has taken the contract to pull
William G Evans chestnuts out
of the fire. The circular read as
follows:
CHANCELLOR BUCHTEL
will arrive a 7:3O and begin
speaking at the Bruce Hall
AT 7:3O SHARP!
Come ard hear the greatest speech
of the campaign.
Some twenty or thirty people
anNiously awaited the signal of
the gentleman's appearance until
$50 when 1t was given out that
his train had been delayed by a
broken engine and that he would
not arrive in Paonia till the follow
ing morning. But thursday morn
ing brought no news until about
ten o'clock, when telephone
message announced his safe arrival
at Delta where he was greeted by
46 persons including those carried
on the special train.

A Delightful Entertainment.

Most certainly the first number
of the Lecture Course secured by
the Epworth League was sue
cess. DR. McClary is certainly an
entertainer who gives the people
the worth of their money. His
lecture was entitled The Mission
of Mirth, and he proved himself
past master in not only depicting
the real mission of mirth, but he
did it in way peculiarly mirth-
full. The audience. not so large as
it should have been, was enter
tanned and gave evidence OF the
fact in much applause, The DR. in
terspersed many good things of a
serious nature in his remarks, and,
taken as a whole the affair may he
denominated as both amusing and
instructive. a gentleman told US
that he had heard the DR.. deliver
the same lecture a number of
years ago, and that he would not
have missed repetition for twice
the price of the entire course. The
League are to be congratulated
on their first number. The next
number will be the Royal Male

Startling Runaway.

of empty fruit boxes. Owing to
the fact that the driver had no
way to brace himself he WAS COM
peeled to let them go using his best
efforts to keep them in the road
and miss teams which happened
to be in the way. Most of the
boxes and a little son of Mr..
Walters were shook off before the
team reached the postoffice and
the driver took tumble at Main

Bruce.
Percy Devereux led another
hunting party into the hills on
Tuesday, and the whole party
unite in saying that Percy cannot
be beaten as a guide in the entire
state. The crowd had trekked
scarcely a mile from town when
the leader OF Pcrcy's pack, Hin
doc. began TO emit those blood
curdling bawls that his proud
owner says is a sure sign OF big
game in close proximity. The
party at once dismounted, left
their steeds in care of native at
tcndants and followed the vener-
able Hindoo." After an hour
of persistent beating by the
trained "beaters" the game was
sighted, the party was numbered
and began firing by turns, and
after l27 shots had been fired
Percy held up his hand as a
signal that the slaughter was
complete and Lieut.. Stratton
was detailed to bring in the
game which when full count
was had, consisted of a cotton
tail, chipmunk and a wounded
magpie. The party then pro-
cceded to the greater heights and
again the nose of old "Hindoo"
did not fail. This time it was
decided to unlesh Hindoo and
see battle royal, which was
done and the hound at once dis
appeared over a ridge and it was
thought that the main battle
would be on the other side, but not
so, in few seconds Hindoo reap
peared uttering walls as though
his heart was broken, followed
closely by half grown coyote.

safety the dog overturned his
