ago, Mr.. Hummel needed to be
cheered up more and more as the days
dragged along. But it was not only
Mr.. Hummel that saw her. OF course
no one would ever suspect it, but
there are pleasant walks and quiet
hooks even on Blackwell's Island, and
a very happy young couple were often
seen walking along in the very shadow
of the prison, more deeply engrossed
with each other than with anything
else in all the world.
Now that the secret is out, the
quiet smiles of approval that have
greeted the young couple from the
associates of the young man and the
friends of the young girl have been
turned into real old-fashioned con-
gratulations. Messenger boys and
postmen are kept busy all day long
bringing letters and kilograms from
all over the country.
I'm getting almost as many letters
now as did just after won those
prizes abroad" Miss Brown said.
"They are quite different, though.
Then they were from people who said
they were Count This and Duke That
or Lord Something Else, and they all
wanted me to marry them. Just fancy
marrying man you never saw. Some
did inclose their pictures, and they
were certainly unny-looking lot. I'm
glad l didn't let my early experience
turn my head, though, for now I've got
something better than duke or count
I've got real man."
True American Girl.
Splendid type of the American girl
is the fiancee of DR.. Matt, equally at
home in the drawing or music room,
or on the golf links. Fond of all
healthy outdoor sports, she is splen-
did horsewoman and a skillful wielder
of the golf clubs. The showers of
congratulations coming to Miss Brown
belong more properly to DR.. Matz, who
has won so charming a bride. That
their married life may be happy and
long will be the wish of all who cher
ish sentiment and are glad when the
path of true love is occasionally
smooth

Iron Deposit Is Rich.

Faribault-The iron deposit on the
farms of William Leary and Charles
w. Marks, lying few miles east OF
Faribault, has proved to be genuine,
and there is large body of ore. State
Chemist Drew, of the University OF
Minnesota, has assayed samples Of the
ore taken from these farms and has
found that it contained S3 per cent
pure iron. The ore is near the sur
face and can be mined and loaded
cheaply. Only the beds near the sur.
face have been explored. Further de-
velopments are to be made to ascer.
tain how deep the vein runs.
