 The marriage s the continuation of life romance, which began way back in the days when Miss Hamilton wa, . wee, dimpled tot of five years. Rudy. the rugged siockman, loved the little girl, and his love only grew stronger as she blossomcd into womanhood.
 Came n time when Miss Hamilton thought she should ii herself for a practical life, and following this bent. went 'o the Young Womcn's Christian Association boarding hall, in Los An. gcles where she immediately became the "bnby' of the hall. being the youngest woman there.
 Letters from Rudy, begging for an immediate marriage, came thick and fast, after she went away, and at last she yielded to the plcadings of her lover, with the result that the marriage took place Wednesday evening, at the boarding hall, amidst her girl friends.
 Mr. and Mrs. Rudy will visit Seattle. Portland and San Francisco before re. turning to Kirkland to make their fu. turc home.

"A siaid old gentleman met inc re- porter on the street yesterday and said that beautiful young lady had asked him to tell her the difference between q flea and rattlcsnakc. When he gave it up, she simply remarked that the snake moves on it's own belly. .- From the Prescott Courier, Jan. 30.
 Oh, for word. n simple, sane and sensible word, but one whose dynamic force would iily describe that "bcau. tiful young lady' who told the "staid old gentleman who told the "rcport. CT" such "jokc.
 Oh, for word. whose meaning would make clear to all the editors idea of joke that printed such stun in an organ by courtesy called newspaper
 "Shc simply remarked that the snake moves on it's own belly"
 How cxcruciatingly funny and rein. ed. How dcliciously, innoccntly, enter. tainugy naive. How "ladylikc.
 What "bcautiful young lady' it must have been to tell "staid old gentleman such joke. Only "ladics" tell "s,aid old gentlemen such jokes.
 And the "rcporter" who was told the " joke" and the paper that af. fron,cd it's readers with such "jokc' again we crave the word, but after delving deeply into the depths of Web. stcr's Unabridged, we found the search was fruiilcss.
 Thank heaven for the good old Puri. tan blood that peoplcd this country with just plain women, to whose checks the red rush of shame would come at even reading such "jokc," and thankful likewise, are we, that so few would.bc Pucks and Judges exist in this Territory, that it is seldom we see such n joke in print.

disastrous, if not checked. Work is be. ing done to eountcract this demoraliz. ing tendency. Organizations have been formed in all parts of the country to secure legislation, and brave mission. arcs of right living have gone down into the slums to establish standards Tor the instruction of the poor. On the legislative side progress has been slow, because inc propaganda has been op. posed by the tremendous power of in vested capital. On the other side the achievements are purely local and in. dividnal, and do not reach the funda. mental causes. One of the most serious obstacles to progress in distinctively curative work has been the indifference or the well'to'do as mass. It is next to impossible to persuade the voters of the country that the industrial condi. tions regarding women and children are menacing the peace and welfare of all classes of people. They do not believe that tho problem is serious. They are unpersnaded as to it's extent because they have not been supplied with the facts.
 What is chiefly needed today is an authoritative analysis of the industr rial conditions in the United States as they aneet the women and children, with an exposure of the real causes of these conditions. To secure this analysis is the objsct of the bin now pesding he.

LABOR OF WOMEN
 AND LITTLE CHILDREN

Anent the bill dealing with this sub. ject, which Senator Bcvcridge is now pressing before Congress, it is useless, as the Washington Star says, to close our eyes to the fact that certain phascs of the industrial situation in Uni, conn. try are aggravating the social problems with which earnest men and women are now grappling in an effort to lessen the nndeniable evils of city life. Due, m large degree, to the almost unre. strained immigration of many years. and the practical absence of intelligent restrictions or regul,tivc Legislation. millions of women and children are now employed in occupations which menace their future usefulness to the state and tend to their development as disturb. ing clements. Children who labor in unwholesome conditions grow into nor. ally and physically stunted men and women. Women who are thrust by their necessities into sweat shops and pack. ing houses are likely to contribute to the next generation either nothing at all, or else children seriously handi. capped in the race.
