Getting married is one of the seri-

right at the right time and place. TO
the right person in the right color
and in the right manner, must of neces-
sity interest those who expect the tie
to bind and have no intention of get
ting into the divorce court. The super
stitious believe that attention to the
details hereinbelow given will save
future trouble.
If the bride try on her wedding dress
before the ceremony she will not be
happy
The bride should wear
Something old, something new.
Something borrowed, something blue,
And a four-leaf clover to put in her
shoe.
If the bride lose her wedding ring
she will be unhappy. 1t is unluclly to
drop the wedding ring at the ceremo-
NY 1t is regarded as unlucky, also, to
take off the wedding ring. and still
more to let another wear it.
Fate is said to be foretold by the
color Of the wedding gown:
Married in white you have chosen all
right:
Married in gray you will go far away;
Married ir ulack you will wish your
self back;
Married in red you will wish your
self dead;
Married in green, ashamed to be seen;
Married in blue. he will always be
true;
Married in pearl, you will live in
whirl;
Married in brown, you will live out of
town;
Married in pink, your spirits will sink.
1t is bad luck for the bride to keep
the pins she used in making her we'd

away. If the bridesmaids keep
them they will not be married before

If the bride throw her bouquet over
the banisters the one who catches it
will be the next to wed.
The day Of the wedding is the brides
day. Happy is the bride the sun
shines on. The next day is the
groom's. The married life of each is
shown by the weather on their re-
spective days. The weather on the
third day shows how they will live

If it rains on the wedding day the
bride will cry all her life.

.ALDR|CH AND CANNON

Result Of Straw Vote Taken by
New York Magazine.

New York, Dec 20.-An interesting
and, in some particulars, sensational
"straw ballot" apparently indicating
that the country, while still loyal to
President Taft, is backing up the SO
called "insurgent' movement directed
against Speaker Cannon and Senate
Leader Aldrich, will appear in the jan
uary number of Success.
Particular interest attaches to the
vote that was taken from among the
1880 life subscribers of the maya
zine, because of the fact that similar
poll taken last fall enabled Success to
predict nearly a month before elec-
ton practically the exact electoral
vote received by President Taft.
Of the more than $4,000 persons
polled, a representative citizenship
scattered over the entire country, 49,
1O2. replied. Of these $3.50 classed
themselves as Republicans, 1918 as
Democrats, 2,191 Independents, Prohi-
bitionists or members Of other parties.

HAVEN'T CHANGED OUR MIND, ONE BIT.

The Bemidji Pioneer editor is re-
ceiving a severe roasting by the state
press because of his criticisms of the
State Editorial Association in CON-
parison with the recently organized
North Central Editorial Association.
Editor Rutledge gave expression to
the statement that the former was
fast degenerating into a political
machine Of the first magnitude" and
some of the old time members are
claiming that this is an untruthful
slam.-Brainerd Dispatch.
Well, We can stand it. Some
truths are indeed stranger than
felton," and some of the old boys
were probably hit in a tender part
by this reference to the State
Editorial association. However,
the writer would like to ask Brother
1ngersoll if he ever noticed the Hon.!
&C. Whitney, Col. Frank Meyst
and one. Dobson and some other
lesser lights of that great editorial
association Matching political
microbe at: one of the annual out
ings of the association? Then there
was Bowling and few others.
Oh well, we don't care. But one
thing is certain, the moment the
North Central Minnesota Editorial
association is dominated by ready
print managers, type foundry agents
and editors with political axes to
grind, then can the Pioneer editor
be. counted out of the membership.
Politics and business do not mix
well together, as we have reason to
know, although it, may be different,
where one has been favored with a
postohice.
A little more young blood in
jected into the management of the
State Editorial association would
probably lengthen the life and USE
