The fact that the building. with its

Rosy as a Girl.

Summit, n. C.-In a letter re-
ceived from this place J. w. Church,
the notary public, says: My wife
had been ailing for nearly II years
from female ailments and at times,
was unable to leave the house. She
suffered agony with her side and
back. We tried physicians for years
without relief. After these treat
ments all failed, she took Cardui,
and gained in weight at once. Now
she is red and rosy as a school girl. )"
Cardui as a tonic for women, has
brought remarkable results. 1t re-
lieves pain and misery and is the
ideal tonic for young and old. Try
il. At druggists.

YOUNG PEOPLE
WE'D ON TRAIN

place last Saturday afternoon on tho
LewistOwn bound train. between .Jl-
dith Gap and Garneill. when Rev.
Haynes performed the ceremony
which made Albert Collins and Miss
Lillian Bailey. both of Klein. man
and wife. The young people had IN
tended to be married at Moore by
Rev. Haynes. but when they started
to figure it out. found that if they
did. they would miss the returning
train and would not reach Roundup
in time for big wedding supper that
had been prepared by friends. The
liceEse was obtained in Fergus coun-
ty and as the outgoing train which
leaves here at i:45 y. IN. passes the
incoming afternoon train at Straw, it
was up to the young people to do
some quick thinking and scheming.
1t was decided that Rev. Haynes
should come to Judith Gap and that
while the train was speeding Lewis
downward, between judith Gap and
Garneill or Straw, the wedding should
take place. They had to wait until
the Meayiier county line was crossed.

was reached, the ceremony was end

The ncwlywpds got off the train
there and after waiting 4 few min
utes, boarded the 1larlOwtoll- bound
train. for Roundup, where they ar
rived in time for the big feast and
the greetings Of their friends. Rev.
Haynes continued OH the LewistoWn-
bound train to his home at Moore.
The ceremony was witnessed by
number OF .ewistown people. 1t
was the first wedding to ever be per-
formed on Il train in Fergus county.

TRAIN HAS
NEW RECORD

The Great Northern railroads "Silk
special" which was sent out of Seat
tie last Friday morning at 3:+5 for
New York carrying four car loads of
silk of value approximately of
million dollars, broke all records OF
this country for time made by mer-
chandise carrying train and it is be-
lieved it also hung mp new worlds
record.
The train made the run to st. Paul
in As hours and 18 minutes, slightly
behind the time it had been sche.lul-
ed to go that distance. but it cut a big
section off the time between st. Paul
and New York, where it arrived on
Monday afternoon ut 1885, having
been OH the road just 81 hours and ~
minutes. This is one hour and a.
minutes faster than No. -, the fast
mail train of the Great Northern
road.
The fastest record for a merchan-
disc train over the Great Northern
previous to the silk special was i02
hours. The Milwaukee road had sent
a merchandise train across the cOuli-
try in 96 hours. The recent record
takes nearly days time off the
Great Northen's record and more
than half day off the only other
record to which claim has been made.
The record, too, is faster than any
mail service in the country given to
the newspapers.
A young woman said she was born
to be farmers wife because she en-
gagged in milking when an infant,
and took to cradling early. Later
she often cut up and shocked her par
ents and filled her crib. At an early
age she learned to sew, and she culti-
waited her acquaintance with young
agriculturst, and as soon as she
placed her affections she intended to
"make hay while the sun was shin

pressible tiller of the soil, so he gath
