From the Fargo Daily Republican we
get the following notice of the wedding
of son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. NJ. Talbot

Hail. old residents of Grand Forks. to
Frederick Efnor Talbot, son of Mr..

beautiful summer home of the Halls,
Breezy Point Villa, at Maple Lake,
near Mentor, Mimi, was the scene of
the ceremony, which was performed by
DIR. Herbert G.. Leonard, pastor of the
First Methodist church in Fargo, and
witnessed by company of the intimate
friends of the happy young people and
u few of the older friends of the family.
Loving hands made Breezy Point
Villa bower of beauty with quaint
ties of green fern and wild flowers
and no prettier setting could be i'm
agined for the binding of youthful
hearts. Promptly at the hour, Miss
Aletha Black at the piano, struck up
the strains of Wagner's Bridal Chorus,
and the bridal party assembled.
The bride, one of North Dakotas fair
est young women, was never more
charming than in her bridal robe of
white satin, entrain and handsomely
trimmed with rare lace and pearls.
From her hair was draped filmy veil
of tulle which hung to the hem of her
gown. She carried shower bouquet
of bride roses and lilies of the valley.
Miss Martha Williams, of Grand Forks

A Clersyman's Experiences on British
Columbia Trip.


Columbia Trip.
In 1860 the Rev. John Sheepshanks,
later on the bishop of Norwich. was
travelling through British Columbia.
His book, "A Bishop In the Rough"
relates his experiences on the Douglas
trail. where the greatest discomfort
was caused by the swarms of ferocious
mosquitoes. He met with Indians COW
cred with paint, carrying branches OF
trees In their hands, which they were
sweeping around them as they walked.
They were evacuating their country,
being temporarily driven out by these
pests. liz by chance traveller arrived
ut clearing or an open space where
there appeared to be an immunity
from them, ere long they would APP
pear.
"Quite early In the morning after
meeting those Indians | issued from
my tent and found an open space on

PRESIDENT TAFT WILL LIVE

The name of Taft will liye long after
the names of those who can find no good
in him are forgotten. The people do
not admire the egotist and the self seek-
er, and while perhaps such man may
have momentary triumph his success
is short lived and he is soon relegated
to the rear, forsaken and forgotten
Taft is endeavoring to carry out the
pledges of the Republican party made
in its national platform and he ought to
have the help and support of every Re-
publican who believes in redemption of
party pledges above mere political adj
vancement for themselves. President
Taft is an upright, hardworking, con
scientious official. He is a student of
affairs and he knows conditions and CIR
cumstances and he is not the pliable tool
Of any class of men of any interest. He
is just man of the people who is anxious
to accomplish things which will bring
peace and plenty to them and theirs. -
