It's because ''all the world loves a lover
that their is such unusual interest in the
matrimonial event that will take place in
Washington uext Saturday. Literally; all
the world is interested and will have a
share in the ceremonies and festivities.
To remember Miss Roosevelt as a bride
will be a genuine pleasure to thousands
who may live to see and read of her as a
grandmother. In other countries it is the
custom to preserve the memories of great
weddings like that of Miss Roosevelt and
Mr.. Longworth, with some appropriate
souvenir. The custom is to be adopted in
this country by The North American. of
Philadelphia, which on Sunday next will
publish as a part of its regular edition a
handsome photogravure r~eproductionsof the
best likness of the Presidents oldest daugb-
ter. The bride herself selected from scores
what she considered the best photograph of
herself and it is from this that the repro
duction has been made. 1t has been ex-
cellently printed on ~high-quality paper in
photograph brown, the tone that ~reproduces
the original, the tone that reproduces the
original, and by a process that renders it
more artistic. 1t lisa picture that is worthy
of preservation in any home, and will GER
tainly be kept by thousands as a reminder
of the most brilliant of White House we'd
dings.
In the same issue of the paper there will
a full detailed ecOunt OF the wedding cere-
money of the previous day, and illustration
showing the magnifcence of the
and the incidental festivities. The best de-
scriptive writers o fThe North Americans
staff and its ablest artists will contribute
their best efforts.

the year 1904 there were admitted
81,412, making total of 1915 per

said that, once admitted, they are
more liable to remain permanently

to assume that this comparatively

There are literally tons of grasshop

In the accounts of the early western

is a very fortunate circumstance that
the great extension of agriculture IN
