Human Life for October. 10

Human Life for October, 1910.
With the advent of Autumn come the
long evenings, when really good mag
azine adds UNNECESSARILY to the happi-
ness and wellbeing of the whole family.
Human Life is the good old English
roast beef of the magazine menu-a sub
stantial meal in itself
The October issue is tempting one.
Coburn tells the fascinating story of
one of Americas greatest Captains of
ndustry-Theodore N. Vail, whose
strong hand guides the destinies of that
gigantic organization, the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company. A
wonderful story of a modern Napoleon
of finance and organization.
Thomas Dreier tells how Elizabeth
Towne, one of the most potent leaders
in New Thought, conquered poverty
and unhappiness through knowledge
Of the great Truths she had tested in
the crucible of her own experience.
Next to Roosevelts own book it is safe
to say that nothing published in this
country to day is attracting anything
like the eager reading accorded Alfred
Henry Lewis great serial, THE Story
of Roosevelt" His pen pictures of the
great political leaders of Roosevelt's
day reveal facts that fill the reader with
amaZement.
Among the other strong features that
make up this splendid number are:

Real Founder of the House of Govern
Ors;' Gavin McNab, Clean Boss of

If there are any fat jewellers who

their minds that the days of that sort
of economy are at an end. The fiat
owners have banded to protect them
selves against the nefarious tenant who
tries to beat the landlord. They call
themselves the Landlords Protective
association. and to put themselves upon
an official standing filed articles OF in

If any renter is known to have left

Braves Assemble Today

The Endorsement of Hiram w. John
son for governor by the Lincoln Roose-
Welt league of republican clubs is ex-
pected to incite the state league of
Iroauois clubs to perform a similar
service for Theodore A. Bell and the
democratic party today.
The state convention of the IroqUois
will assemble this morning at 10 o'clock.
The day sessions will be held at 216
McAIlister street. The conferences will
close tonight with a banquet at the
Argonaut. Among the speakers Will
be Judge Lettimer, Thomas r. Hayden.
Walter Macarthur, Theodore A. Bell
and NJ. c. Hassett.
The northern California braves of
the Iroquois tribe have heard that there
is opposition to Bell south of the Te-
hachapi. The south will not be well
represented in the convention today,
but it is announced that the local club
will be governed somewhat in the mat
ter of Endorsement for governor by
country.
The Iroquois are anxious TO get
democracy's candidate in the field and
they declare that Bells opposition to
the Southern Pacific company makes
him the logical candidate. The con-
vention is expected to draft a platform
for the party's candidate. Presumably
that platform is to be ratified subse
quently by the state conference at Los
Angeles. If ii is not ratified by the
state conference the world will know
where the Iroquois club stands. IT is
also promised that the convention will
condemn the primary law and propose a
simplification of its provisions.

ROMANCE BRINGS
SECRET WEDDING
Dolly MacGavin and Douglas
Fry Slip Away and Are
Married
Opposition of Parents Owing to
Bridegroom's Youth Over
come by Young Couple

A boy and girl romance, which began
several years ago, terminated happily
yesterday afternoon when Miss Dolly
MacGavfn and Douglas Fry procured a
marriage license, and after securing
the consent of the groom's mother and
legal guardian. Mrs A. c. Rogers, were
married in the office of Justice of the
Peace Carl w. Mueller, in the Grant
building.
When the parents of the bride
learned of the wedding it was decided
to have the religious ceremony per-
formed at their residence. 1t took place
last evening, Rev. George Il Renison,
rector OF st. Paul's, officiating few
intimate friends of the family were
present
The engagement has been rumored
in local society for nearly three years,
but because of the youth of the groom,
who will not attain his majority for
another year or two, was never fully
credited. Young Fry, in fact, had not
yet completed his college course. In
order to separate the young people and
put an end to the little romance, he was
sent to Harvard last fall, returning to
the coast for the Christmas holidays.
He has spent his time since at the
home of his grandmother, Mrs. John
Douglas Fry, in Jackson street, where
Miss MacGavin has also often been a
SuSSL VI ldL6.
Shortly after the first of the year
Fry accepted a position with the United
Railroads and gave up his college ca
reer in order to be near his fancee.
The unspoken family opposition still
prevented formal announcement be-
ing made, and finally in desperation,
they took matters into their own
hands yesterday.
Mrs. Rogers as the legal guardian of
her son until his twenty first birthday,
was the only person they took into
their confidence. This was done in or
der to secure her sanction to the match,
although young Fry was frank in stat
ing it was barrier he would not let
stand in his way When Mrs. Rogers
saw opposition was useless. she gave
her consent.
Mrs. Fry is the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter MacGavin and a
sister of Drummond MacGavin, whose
marriage to Miss Helen Baker was one
of the social affairs of the fall.
Fry, as the grandson of Mrs. John
Douglas Fry, will have great wealth
some day. In his own name he already
owns a ranch of several thousand acres
in Sonoma county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fry left last evening
for four weeks honeymoon trip, and
on their return they will live in this
city, where they have already secured
an apartment.
When seen last night both families
expressed themselves s pleased with |
the match, the minority of the bride |
groom having been the only objection.
