family where grace was always said.
When the guests were seated the host
bowed his head and began to repeat
the accustomed verse in a subdued
severent tone.
"Eh? What's THAR" demanded the
deaf old gentleman who sat beside
him.
The host smiled patiently. and be-
gan again, in q louder. more depre-
eatory voice.
Speak q little louder, I don't
catch what you say" the old gentle
man persisted.
A low ripple Of laughter went
round tho table. The host, his face
crimson with embarrassment, raised
his voice and repeated the verse. The
deaf old gentleman did his best to
hear. but failed. He placed his hand
apon his hosts arm.
What did you say?" he demanded
trascibly.
The host cast him an angry glance.
On 1t. I'm saying grace" he
snapped.

WORKING ON LUMBER TRUST

There Is something Of a hig prop
nsition In handling the investlga-
lions OF the lumber trust, and the
deeper the probing the greater ap-
oears the problem. People generally
had little conception Of the immen-
Sity Of the proposition when 1t was
S%ntrnduced by Senator Kittredpe 10
tho United States senate, and with
. successful ending 1t Is going to
grove one Of the greatest possible
beneits to the people Of this country.
This one thing alone will stand out
asa great piece of work by the SEN
ator, and 1t will also give South
Dakota 9 high standing among the
states Of the nation for possessing a
senator who was not afraid to take
mp an unpleasant duty and lay 1t
before the department of commerce.
In referring to the progress that is
being made In chat direction the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader has the
following comment:
The task put upon the department
Of commerce and labor by Senator
Ktttredge's resolution calling for the
Investigation Of the lumber trust Is
proving to be a large one. The new
secretary has taken up the WORK In
great earnest, but 1t Is announced
that it will be several months before
the work Is completed, and that
meanwhile no information will be

Many witnesses we're examined and
though the Minneapolis newspapers

Der trust, enough has leaked out to
show that the department secured
much valuable information.
Those who Thought the Kittredge
resolution was all blncon be are now
beginning. to realize that the resolu.
tl0n means business and that the lum-
Der business vii be probed to the

On another occasion 1t required thir

MARRIED JUST FOR FUN
Fannie Blair and Ralph Hawn De-
eide to Enter State of Matrimony
at Last Moment.
at Last Moment.

aC Last Moment.
Had not Miss Fannie Blair sudden
ly taken it into her head Wednesday
ewing to get married she would
have been on her way to California
this morning. Since she did not,
however, she will remain in this city.
The young lady is a sister of Harry
Blair, who lives on Fourth avenue
east. and has made her home with
him for several years. Wednesday she
completed her arrangements for go
ing to California, her ticket was
bought, her trunk packed and she was
ready to start for the coast to spend
the winter with her parents, intend
ing to leave on the early morning
train.
She has been keeping company
with a young man by the name of
Ralph Hawn for some time, and for
the last evening they were together
and it was then that their plans
were formed for a hasty marriage
and were carried into execution with
out any delay. Mr.. Hawn procured
his license late in the afternoon and
about $3.50 o'clock in the evening the
young couple walked over to the
residence of Rev. j. F. Norton, who
performed the ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hawn went to the
residence of Mr.. Blair and on going
into the house they discovered Mr..
Blair reading a paper. The young
bride calmly said to Mr.. Blair, tSay,
brother, I want to introduce you to
my husband" The paper dropped
from his hand and a look of blank
amazement came over his face. After
recovering from his surprise, Mr..
Blair accepted the situation in a
philosophic manner. 1t was the in
tention of the bride to start on her
trip as arranged and the groom was
going back to his old home at Mt.
Vernon, Ia. The brother, however,
broke up the plans and suggested
that inasmuch as they were married
that they would live right hereto
which point they yielded. When MT.
Blair asked his sister what they got
married for at the last moment be-
fore starting, she laughingly replied,
"Oh, just for fun"
Ralph Hawn has been working at
the carpenter trade at Mt. Vernon
during the summer in the employ of
contractor Ink, and is an earnest and
energetic young fellow, although it
is understood that he will have to
wait a year or two before he can
cast his first vote. Both young peo-
pie are very popular among their
young friends and all will extend
their hearty CONGRATULATIONS.

Two fishermen named Smith, liy-
ing near each other, had met with
misfortune, the one having lost his
wife and the other his boat, says
London Tit-Bits.
A lady visitor called on the one
who had lost his boat, thinking it
was the M who had lost his wife.
Good morning, Mr.. Smith. I am
sorry to hear of your sad loss"
ooh, it amt much matter, mum.
She warn't up to much.
"Dear me, you don't say so."
"Aye, she was a rickety old crock.
When I went out with her l was al
ways in danger of my life. Indeed, I
offered her to my mate only last
week, but he wouldn't have her. I
have had my eye on another for
some time now"
But the lady could stand no more
of the old mans denunciation of the
weaker sex, and hurriedly took her
departure.
