The Bridegroom.
Mr.. Longworth is the only son of
the late Nicholas Longworth of Gin
c%innati, of the wealthy men of the
Ohio metropolis a generation ago, but
is not, as has been reported, q man
of great wealth. He is Sc Years Of age,
tall, with broad shoulders. n has
sirable dinner guest, Il good singer,
can make a clever speech and be as
attractive as a wealthy and cultured
young bachelor can make himself.
Withal he is modest and unassuming,
n can adapt himself to the plainest
s1martest members of society. He was
graduated from Harvard in the class of
1891 and admitted to the bar of Cin-
ctnnati in 1894. He is now serving his
second term as representative from the
first Ohio district. He is a member of
Chase club in this city, and is we'll
known in New York and Boston.
His mother mas for several years
had n summer home on the coast of
Massachusetts,, where Miss Roosevelt
was her guest in the summer of 1904.
EARLY In the past summer she made a
visit to Cincinnati. where she was en-
tertained by her future s~ister-ip-law,
Mrs. Wa1lingford, at the Longworth
home, SO that she is already well known
to her future relatives.
The Longworth fortune was left to
the mother of the family. who does
with 1t as she pleases until her death.

was the first time that q president was
married in the executive mansion, and

had to meet as long as she was in the
city, and his fact made her the more
inclined to visit friends and relatives
at a distance, where she could be her
own independent self. She will make
an ideal wife, for she IS domestic TO
the last degree, and is so co1-
tented as when che is surrounded by
a few select friends in the seclusion
of a private home.
Her Betrothai Ring.
Miss Roosevelt has yet not received
an informal engagement ring from her
fiance, Representative Nicholas Long,
worth, and has decided that she does
not wish one, no matter how anxious
he is in the matter.
That does not mean that she does
not wear a ring given her by Mr..
Longworth, for some time ago he
placed pm her finger, which be-
longed to his grandmother. 1t is a
magnificent solitaire sapphire in an
tique setting of gold.
Since the engagement was announced
the couple have received invitations
almost without number to entertain
ments planned to celebrate the event.
| Except in case of intimate friends such
invitations have been and will continue
to be declined. It is probable that
| Mrs. Longworth will entertain for
them, presumably at a dinner some
time next week.

The first White House wedding was
that of Miss Maria Monroe, youngest
daughter of President Monroe, who
was married in March, 1920, to Sam
the relatives and most intimate friends
of the bride and bridegroom We're
asked to this wedding, out just one
week later a large reception vas held
In the White House for them, when
the bridesmaids n groofnsmen We're

tivities We're cut short by the death of
Commodore Decatur, who had, with
his wife, given the newly welded pair
a brilliant ball just after the White
House reception.
Miss Elizabeth Tyler, daughter of
President and Mrs. John Tyler, was
married in the east room January 81,

year. This was a brilliant affair, at

Nellie Grants Wedding.
The mex elaborate wedding in he
east room was that OF Nellle Grant,

this function. The bride was 10 and
the groom 90. About 200 guests We're

rations of the house were superb. and

The most recent wedding In the
White House was that of President

loved mistresses this famous home has

bride came down from New York ac-

THE NAMELESS HERO.

There are countless heroes who live and die,
OF whom we have never heard:
For the great. big brawling world goes by,
With hardly look or word:
And one of the brayest and best of all,
Of whom the LIST can boast,
Is the man who falls on duty call,
Tie man who dies at his post.
While his cheek is mantled with manhoods
And the pathway Of life looks bright, 49,
lie IS brought in moment TO lace 'ne
gloom
Surrounding the final night.
He bu"yantly sails DER a SUMMIT sea
And IS dashed on an unseen toa9t.,,
Till the ship goes down at the helm stunts
The man who dies at his post.
Who follows the glorious tide Of war
And falls in the midst OF tight,
He knows that honor Will mover e
And cover his name with light
But he who passes unsung, unknown,
He hears no applauding host,
He goes in the dark to his fate, alone
The man who dies at his post.
Who bears with disease while death draws
near,
Who faces his fate each day.
Yet strives to comfort and help ana cneer
His comrades along the way,
Who follows his work while he yet may do'
And smiles when he suffers most,
1t seems to me Is a hero true
The man who dies at his post.
There are plenty to laud and crown with
bays
The hero who falls in strife.
But few who offer a word of praise
To the crownless hero Of life;
He does his duty and makes no clalm'
And tonight | propose toast
To the silent martyr unknown to tane'

STATE IN THE FROG BUSINESS
Pennsylvania Shipping 100000 From
One Of its State Hatcheries.


The largest lot of frogs ever grown
in captivity in Pennsylvania is now
being distributed from the Pleasant
Mount hatchery, in Wayne county.
Fish Commissioner Meehan decided
last year to add frog culture to the
service rendered by the fish commits
sion, and a few were raised at the
Cory and the Erie hatcheries and
distributed The experiment was sue
cessful, and frog raising, it was de.
cided, should also be tried at the new
Pleasant Mount station. There the
frog crop has been entirely success,
full, and the 100000 that were raised
are now being sent out.
These frogs will be the only ones
the people will get from the State
this year, as the experiment proved a
failure this season both at Erie and
Cory. At Erie an epidemic got in
among the pollywogs, and at Cory
more than 100000 small frogs were
eaten by snakes.
The process Of raising young frogs
is exceedingly interesting. When four
or five days old they are ready to ship
and are from IL to inches long
When twelve days old they are worth
cents apiece for bass bait, so there
is money in raising frogs if one knows
how, since it is possible to grow 2.
100000 Of them to the acre.
The frogs are shipped in cans of 400
each, packed simply in wet moss.
The 100000 on hand are not nearly
enough to supply the acquisitions
which come from every country. Fish
Commissioner Meehan will in the fall
issue bulletins from the reports OF
the superintendent of the fish hatch
cries giving their experience at frog
raising for the benefit and instruction
Of the public.
The raising Of frogs is easier thar
the raising Of poultry. A frog weel
old planted now will be fit for the
table next year. and in two year:
will be a monster"
Two kinds of frogs, the green,
heads ard the western, were raised at
the hatchery, but the greenhead i.
preferred by epicurcs. The marke
price of edible frogs is from S150 tt
