A Vivid

Senator Beveridge, at a luncheon in
Boston during the convention of the Cen
eral Federation OF Women's clubs, made
a telling little speech against the mad
pursuit Of wealth.
From the window Of the room a sunny
garden was visible, and in the garden a
number OF children pursued with breath
less cries a swarm Of blue butterflies.
Mr.. Beveridge, waving his hand toward
the racing children, said:

flies, put long tailed coats on the boys,
and turn the butterflies into dollar bills.

Maternal Objections Overcome.

TIT romance of Edith Ludwig, formerly
of Morris, ILL.,, but lately of Palo Alto, Cal,
and Prof. Fred ?. Fitzgerald of Leland
Stanford Junior university, had a happy
termination in Sacramento, when Miss
Ludwig arrived from the east and was met
at the station by Prof, Fitzgerald, to whom
she was a few minutes afterward married,
thus overcoming maternal objections.
Fellow passengers of Miss Ludwig had
learned her story and she left the train
In a shower of rice and good wishes. Prof.
Fitzgerald was waiting at the station and
Immediately he went to the county clerks
office, where a license was obtained. Ac-
companied by a few friends. the bride and
the bridegroom went to the Central Meth
odist church, where they were married.
The love story Of Miss Ludwig and Prof.
Fitzgerald is interesting. Their troth was
plighted some time ago and a few days ago
Prof. Fitzgerald went east for the mar
riage ceremony.
To his surprise, when he reached Morris,
his bride had been taken away by her
mother and Prof. Fitzgerald was unable to
communicate with her.
After remaining in Chicago long enough
to learn that the girls mother objected to
him, he disappointedly returned TO Palo
Alto. The girls father did not object to
the marriage, and when Prof. Fitzgerald
returned to Palo Alto he was warmly
greeted by the father, who said:
It's all right; don't worry" and he
handed the professor a telegram from his
daughter telling him that she had eluded
her mother and TO tell Fred" that she was
coming from Chicago. Arrangements were
then made to meet at Sacramento and
marry.
