The dinners given hy native otficialdom
are generally marked with greater mod
esty than those given by the millionaire
civilians. During the state banquets at
the White House the famous Marine
Band-in special uniforms worn only in
the Presidents house plays in the cor
ridor outside the state dining room. and
the table is decorated with the historic
ornaments handed down from previous
administrations or which have been gifts
of foreign rulers Thus the famous
Dolly Madison mirror. put together in
sections usually forms the centerpiece of
the Presidents banquet board while the
guests eat from the thirty-thousand- dol
lar china service purchased during the
regime Of the Roosevelts, who had the
state dining room enlarged TO seat 100 in
stead of forty guests. Thus the RooSe-
veits doubled the expense of state din
ners whose Viands must be purchased out
of the President s priVy purse. Mrs
Roosevelt added touch to her dinner
appointments such as had not been seen
i'm the old mansion for many decade At
one state dinner she had the new curved
table decorated with crimson bouquets

were interspersed moro than dozen

About the banquet board, spread upon
the famous occasion in the great east
room, hung a green canopy. against

New York.-Alvah H Doty, health
officer of the port, regards the chol
era situation as being well in hand
but does not conceal his apprehen
sion that New York is "in the very
midst of a threatened invasion OF
cholera"
Further, DR.. Doty said, "the quar-
antine department of every port in
this country is facing very serious
and onerous task during the summer,
and it is not improbable that many
vessels arriving from Italy in the next
few weeks will bring one or more
cases of the disease.
The official report of the situation
shows there are fifteen cases at
Swinburne Island hospital and four
cases symptomatic of the disease. One
more victim has died.

Washington.-The public health and
marine hospital service is watching
closely the appearance Of cholera in
New York and is cooperating In every
way with the health authorities of
that state. One OF the experts of the
service has departed to lend further
assistance and instructions have been
sent to agents at all suspected ports
abroad to exert increased vigilance.
Government officials scout the idea
that there is any danger Of anything
approaching an epidemic of cholera.
They believe the few cases are merely
sporadic and such as have been dis
covered have been carefully traced and
all means have been employed to pre-
vent a spread of the plague.

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills arc unlike

methods. They do not scour. they do
not Eripe. they do not weaken. but they

corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet OF human
bowels, which Is really n sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood. which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who

ailment can expect to have clear

the first time we got married. second, it's our hope that it is our last time we'll get married; third, it's the one time we can tell the truth about a wedding
 On Monday morning, the one bright sunshiny day in a week, at St Der nards' Catholic church. the Rev Fath. CT Adolph officiating, Miss Lorena NJ Zaiser of Red Lake Falls was united in marriage to Homer F. Mussey, junior editor Of the Thief River Fall Times. The attendants were Miss Marie Neilleux and Mir Thomas Mai eres. and the ceremony was witness ed by relatives and intimate friends only, being. celebrated during the ceremonies of low mass.
 The courtship Of the young lady who will darn our socks hereafter was our own affair. lt was framed up during our stay at Red Lake Falls and like the true love it was. the course was over many of the haEIers spots in life's highway. We didn't go down and say You've got to be my wife Far from it, We pleaded our case frevently and seriously, and after due consideration, we won the promise so eargerly sought. We had to overcome objections, but we were happy when we succeeded. We had to make our promises, but were de. lighted when they were fulfilled We were cOnsiderate and did not pick the flower of the flock. Our wife God bless her--is not the most popu- lar. most beautiful and most highly accomplished lady of her social set She is just a plain, everyday. ordinary American girl--the kind that makes the best wife and makes home a heaven on earth. She has her de- fleets like everyone else. but the glory of her love outshines the prominence oi those little things that we do not like She is not beautiful-except in her radiance of homelike happiness.
 As to the groom, his twenty years residence here are his best recom- mendatiOns He has his friends God bless them-and he has his en- emies-God bless them too. He is not. by any means, the very enter. prising' young man. or the popular young man or anything else. but just plain Mussey's boy. Marriage does not give him the appelation MT" He is still no better than any one else, and not as good as a good many. lie is a common mortal, even as you.
 With the help of Providence and his own admiration his one sincere endeaFOr. henceforth, will be making his home heaven, for the girl who deserves the best in life from him, who has promised to love, honor and obey"
