BRIDE A SPEAKER
BRIDE A SPEAKER
Prominent en- Platform, Once
Reported Engaged to
Clark

Huron. S. D.-Word has reached
Huron of the marriage at Los An
Cal, of Miss Hattie Rose
Laube, formerly OF this city, and
we'll known political speaker in this
state, to A. N. Seward, the dispatch
telling OF the event saying: "a wierd
and solemn ceremony was perform
ed at Inspiration Point, Mount Lowe,
laht midnight, when Arthur N. Sew
ard and Hattie r. Laube were united
in marriage, after the bride had cast
to the four winds the ashes of her
father. The bridegroom said that
for five years Miss Laube had refus-
led to marry him, believing it her
duty to attend to her invalid father.
Last week the father died and Miss
Laube considered all barriers to the
wedding removed"
Miss Laube was a woman of edu-
cation and during the Mckinley cam
Daign she made quite a sensation in
this state as a platform lecturer and
political speaker. Some time after
she removed from this city to Cal
l%ifornia announcement was made Of
an alleged matrimonial engagement
between her and United States Sem
Iator Clark, the multi-millionaire cop
per king of Montana. This brought
her into new prominence and all her
lecture appearances brought out large
crowds. The denial of the engage
ment by Senator Clark only added
to the interest of the public in the
affair. Later announcement was made
of her engagement to a we'll known
Californian, engaged in fruit raising
and interested in certain patent
rights with Mr.. Laube. AS the story
was told, this engagement was also
a myth, and no marriage ever result
ed from it. 1t was limited, however,
that the lady's financial standing
was considerably enhanced by the
liberal sum paid for patent rights,
but not for the hand of the fair
maiden. After this nothing more was
heard from either Miss Laube or her
father, until the recent announce
I ment of his death was made, follow
) ed by the news of her rather sensa-
tional marriage.

companion. conscious only of his woes,
went meekly forward. The bull caught
him up and sent him spinning into a
muddy ditch before it raced forward
on its mad way.
As the funny looking object crawled
from his watery resting place he saw

SCOTCH HAGGIS.
Hare Is the Recipe For 1t In All Its
Beautiful Simplicity.


Beautiful Simplicity.
Every once in awhile. and particu-
larly on the day after a Robert Burns
anniversary celebration. the newspa-
pers publish reports of gatherings and
banquets OF Scotchmen in which the
name "haggis" occupies a prominent
place on the menu. Then few curl
Gus minded persons who do not know
inquire: "Haggis? What is haggis?"
The answers vary from a kind of
Scotch oat cake to hot drinks. Nobody
ever seems quite sure what haggis
really is. One hears vaguely from
guests at Scotch banquets that it is a
fearsome dish. There is a story Of
the elderly gentleman of rickety di-
gestion who. taking off his overcoat in
a friends house and smelling haggis
in preparation, remarked. Eth. but I'll
be bad the morn" The possibility of
refusing this dish apparently never
dawned upon him, and in sturdy sort
of fashion when one is hungry the
recipe certainly sounds as though the
compound might be fascinating. Here
is the recipe:
A pound each Of liver. onions, tripe.
suet and cooked pearl barley and half
a pound of oatmeal. with salt and
pepper. are put into Sleeps paunch
and slowly boiled for four hours. That
is all in its beautiful simplicity. A
French chef in stuffy kitchen might
faint at the recipe, but a hungry
Scotchm thinks it is the finest dish
on earth.-New York World.

The Historian Had His Own Way of
Forcing Himself to Work.
Rollo Ogden in his biography of Will
liam II. Prescott. the historian. cites
many passages from the diary show
ing Prescott's habit of logging him
self to his work by making wagers
with his secretaries that he would
complete a given task by a certain
day, the odds always heavily against
himself.
prescott always took this betting
on his own industry with perfect Sc
robustness. Sometimes he would radi-
antly greet his secretary with: You
have lost. You owe me dollar And
he would exact payment. Occasional
ly he would, with woebegone counte-
nance. produce and pay over to the
protesting secretary the $50 or $50 he
himself had lost" One deliberately
made memorandum witnesses that a
bet of 81 to $50 had been made be
tween e. B. Otis and William II. Pres

Solitude.


Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep and you weep alone,
For sad old earth must borrow its mirth.
1t has troubles enough of its own.
Sing and the hills will answer;
Sigh and it's lost on the air.
The echoes rebound to joyful sound,
But shirk from voicing care.
Rejoice and men will seek you:
Grieve and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleas
ure.
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many;
Be sad and you lose them ALL
There is none to decline your nectared
wine,
But alone you must drink the gall.
Feast and your halls are crowded;
Fast and the world goes by.
Succeed and give and it helps you to live
But no man can help you to die
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles OF pain.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
