A DAKOTA GIRL.
A W. CT. u. Worlds Missionary

We give the following interest
ing sto ry Of a girl friend-in fact
we feel as tho we had a hand in
rearing her and are sure that we
helped to guide her thoughts into
w. G. T. U. channels and arouse
aspirations for higher life. She
was of poor, but respectable par
ents, with an inheritance of a long
line of educated ancestry.
From The White Ribbon Journal
June - was an ideal wedding
day, and the pretty home in Den
yer, where for ten months our be-
loved Kara Smart has fought her
brave fight for health, was gay
with the promises of victory.
Above the mantel the blood red
sun of Japan shone on it's white
field, linked with the Stars and
Stripes of her own native land and
everywhere the red and white of
the Island Kingdom was repeated
in flowers and banners, empha-
sizing the International signifi-
canoe of the occasion.
To the familiar strains of the
wedding march from Lohengrin,
the bridal party entered, preceded
by the officiating clergyman, Rev.
Frost Craft, and beneath the flags
which meantso much to them both,
William Darwin Root and Kara
Grace Smart took the VOWS of the
beautiful service of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and another
Christian home was founded.
Every girl looks her loveliest as
bride, and our Kara was no ex-
ception to the rule. / am sure that
Union Signal readers will be in
terested to know that the beauti
full gown Of white embroidered silk
crepe she wore was given her by
the faculty of the Woman's Uni
versity of Tokyo, ''as slight to

dress for the pupils of that institu
ton.

Every bride, too, must "weal
something borrowed;" therefore
the dear woman in whose home
! she has held daughters place
brought forth from it's hiding a
superb point lace veil, worn at her
own wedding more than forty years
ago in a foreign land, to drape our
Kara's democratic head.
The exquisite Honiton handker-
chief she carried, came just in time
from an English friend, and her
fan, painted embroidered and cary
ed by the deft hand of an Oriental
artist, was a gift from the Nation
al W. G. T. U. of Japan.
Her armful of bride roses was
really a Colorado product, and we
are inclined to claim her sister,
Mrs. Iredale, the charming matron
Of honor, as ours also. The cos
tune of the groom is of course, not
noteworthy, save for the little
white how that nestled on his coat
beside the rose in his kbuttonhole,
which proved that in the things
which make for the happiness of
the Iworld, these two are really
one.
A graduate from the University
Of California, and having complet-
ed a post graduate course at Column
bia University, New York, Mr..
Root consecrated his abilities and
culture for some years to Y. NJ. G..
A. work in the government school
and colleges of Japan, and in that
land of bloom he met Miss Smart

country. He, a. tall, fair, blue
eyed, optimistic Californian; she, a
brave and brainy daughter of the
prairies, eager to make the world
wider for her brown sisters, and
more homelike for humanity.
Even for him she refused to leave
her work, so he went on around
the globe and over Europe putting
in a year as teacher of English
and history, the work to which
he expects to return.

Administration FaVOriteS.

To the President of the United States is attributed
the several times repeated remark that Root would
make splendid president but very poor candi-
Mr. Roosevelt reverses his estimate of the situation
in its application to Mr.. Taft and believes that he
would make a good candidate, whether not he
would make splendid president,

tisanship of the hour to prefer man who would
run we'll to a man who would do we'll and the qualif

up in the candidates capacity vote getter. Ser
iousy, the country wants good president and it
needs good president during the four years to fol
low the rather remarkable administration of the
present incumbent.
Mr.. Roosevelt has developed some administrative
traits that ought be perpetuated and it does not
appear that any of the Republicans armed with Gre
dentials from the White House distinguished for
the peculiar Roosevean qualities that have been en-
dorsed quite as generally by Democrats as by Re
pubcans
1t will not be conceded among those liberal enough
to overlook politics in commencing where common
dation is due that Mr. Root has exhibited any of the
reforatory tendencies of his chief and the popular
non-partsan appreciation of Mr.. Taft is that he is
utterly colorless-htted only for the head of medic
ere administration
Mr. Roosevelt therefore, is not proving himself
a good Judge of men, placing his estimate in colabo-
ration with the non-parsan estimate of the masses
over whom a chief executive presides

similar circumstances
Companies and individuals already have accom-
plished great work in finding settlers for Idahos
wonderfully rich acres, but the work has gone on
and the wide scope of it has developed, the need
for more workers has been felt In brief, Idaho
needs "boosters'-not to exaggerate her merits but
to exploit them to the world-and to this end the
cooperation of every citizen is urged.

water. All we need is the people and we get
them speedily if we will unite in our efforts toward

and fruits; of seemingly immense prices paid for

The Passing of the Season

] he Passing OF the Season.
We are reminded of the flocks OF
blackbirds here and there and the har.
~vesting of crops that summer is on the
wane. Autumn is said by the poet to
be the saddest OF the year. Yet, why
should It be? We would not have the
year stand still II we could. We well
come the change from growing crops
and budding blossoms to the sheavea
of golden grain and full bloom flowers.
The motif Of life is change. The
change from spring, when everything
Is in a state of verdancy, to summer
time when nature is at its height, IL
like unto from youth to maturity.
Again, from summer to autumn when
the reward of toll is percetible and the
changes of nature are about us, why
should we be sad? The sheaves OF
golden grain, the leaves of red, brown
and gold, are surely pleasing specta.
cles. AS the days grow cooler we hail
with delight the first fall of the beau.
tiful snow and the many pleasures Of
the home fireside the coming winter
will bring. Let us no tregret the pass
ing of summer but rather let us look
