An EIopement Fifty Years Ago.

Married In La Crosse fifty years ago,

in fiction, Mr. and Mrs. II, E. Dough-

anniversary at their home at Rodeo,

But one witness of the marriage Is
alive and he James w. Young of La
Crosse, told the story Of the wedding.
which follows.
william Dougherty was born in
Vermilicn county, Ind, and so was his
wife, whose maiden name was Mary
Catherine Hitler. 1t seems that at the
time of the wedding the girls parents
objected to the young mans atten-
lions, which made 1t necessary for
several other young fellows and my
self to help the prospective b ride.

Eve got a skiff and rowed up the
river to the girls house, where we
quietly got her out Of the house and
into the boat. We then rowed down
through French Slough and up to the
north side where Mr.. Dougherty was
waiting for us. We soon had Justice
of the Peas Winston on the scene

PICTURES or OLD FRANCE
La VaIliere's Brilliant YOUTH and the
Contrasting Scene Of Few
Years Later.

The festivities and intrigues of Fon-
tainebleau and Versailles may seem
a far cry from this old Chateau of
Blos, but, standing this afternoon in
the rooms that had echoed to the
light footsteps of Louise de La Val
liere in the days of her youth and in
nocence, distance and the centuries
between that day and this seem to
fall away. and We picture to our.
selves the court Of honor and sale de
reception as they appeared ON the
night of the arrival of the court at
Bioisl The fast-fading light lent a
semblance Of reality to the scene, as
the torches and candles used in those
early days could not have brilliantly
lighted the vast hall. We see the
chairs placed in half-circle for the
accommodation of the royal guests.
the kings not an inch higher than
that OF Ma2arin or of the queen, Anne
of Austria. The astute Italian prime
minister is seated, his body bent, his
face pallid, the hand of death is al
ready laid heavily upon him. but his
mind is as keen and alert as in youth,
his eyes as penetrating, The cour-
tiers are grouped around Ma2arin, the
real king.
CASTOR, the indplent father of an
energetic and courageous daughter,
is talking to him, and chroniclers of
the day tell us that +he duke of Or
leans was an admirable raconteur.
The Grande Mademoiselle, now over
thirty and in the full flower of a
beauty which, according to Petitot's
miniature and her own rose-colored
descriptions, was not inconsiderable,
is in another group at one side OF the
hall, with her halfsisters and the
other young girls of the house, among
them Louise de La Valliere, whom
Madame de Sevigne likened later to a
modest violet hiding beneath its
leaves; but not so successfully con-
cealed as to evade the eyes Of roy
atty.
In strong contrast to this scene is
another and later picture in far diff
ferent setting, in the dim, religious
light of convent, where woman still
young and in the full maturity of her
beauty is taking the veil, which Is
held for her, the former royal favor

GREAT ROW OVER BEAN SOUP
Put on Menu Of Banquet to Visiting
President, It Was Denounced

Denver has been stirred to It's

menu for the president at a banquet

their dollars and taken their dress

as we can learn, it includes celery,
cigarettes, olive oil, cigars cake,
.'mile-high' cocktails, oysters, ice
cream. lettuce salad, mashed potatoes,
vegetables, cheese, radishes, nuts,
broiled SQUAD, beefsteak, crackers
and champagne. So far so good. But
