we went on deck to see what it all
meant.

SURVIVOR DESCRIBES WRECK.

Miss Daisy Minahan, when ap-
preached on train leaving Chica-
go, said:
''It will be absolutely impossible
to describe or even attempt to de-
scribe the scene when the vessel sank
on which so many of us had started
so happily on what we anticipated
would be our homeward voyage.
There were more than a score of
brides in our party, coming back in
the. completion of their happy honey
moons spent abroad. We brought
twenty of tNem, widowed by the ter
rib!e catastrophe to homes of mourn
ing and tears instead of happiness
and bliss.
Everything seemed to be in con-
f'Ision and it is difficult to relate the
scenes in their sequence. We were
sitting on deck in the evening, en-
joyilg the crisp air and the starlit
night. The sea was the smoothest
we had ever seen. Old sailors told
us that it had never seemed so calm
and CLASSY.

PREASANTS DO
WELL IN N. D.

Neville Journal: Last summer, f.
McDougaIl placed several Chinese
p~heasants in the woods near the
river. He had secured the birds
through the courtesy Of ]. P. Lamb,
Of Michigan, a member Of the state
game commission.
Nothing was seen Of them all winter
and it was believed that they had
or wandered away, but on the day
of the school picnic Jess Carr and
some of the students discovered one
of the pheasants on a nest contain
ing fourteen eggs. This was south
of the river neal the old homestead
house of S. Samson. Later Al. Samson
saw two more of the birds in the vi
entity of his home showing that this
feathered tribe is still alive and with
evidence of multiplying.
Parties should be careful while
hunting not to shoot these fine speci-
men Of birds. There is a fine against
their destruction and as they resemble
the prairie chicken some on first
sight a person might easily take them
for the common prairie chicken. 1t
is to be hoped that sportsmen. while
hunting in the vicinity of the river,
will use care in shooting so as not 10

BRIDAL CHAMBER
IN COURTHOUSE

Devils Lake, ~. D., June 14.-Apart-
ments to change clothes, furnished
with every marriage license is the lat
est inducement to be offered by Judge
Henry Of the county court, who today
gave up his Office and closet ad1oin-

son, both of Devils Lake, after he had
granted them a license to wed. While
the quick change was being made
Judge Henry strutted up and down the
courthouse hall and visited the other
county officials waiting for the signal
of n rap on the inner door to be
admitted to his office and o for
the next couple wishing a license. The
rain was responsible for it all. 1t
would be a shame to spoil the new
frocks by going any great distance in
the storm to be married, and as a con-
sequence Ole asked the judge IL there
would be any additional charges for
room rent after he had purchased the
license.
An effort was made to secure the
apartments in the court room, but
they were occupied, the trial of a case
being in progress. All that was left
were the commodious apartments of
Judge Henry which with the aid Of
the closet were rapidly converted into
a bridal chamber. When the garments
for the wedding had been donned the
single rap vas given and the Judge
allowed to enter. This was not ali.
however. After the marriage cere-
mony, the rain was still beating down.
The wedding clothes must be laid away
without a tarnish, and as a conse-
quence the judge had to again give up
his office and wait for the rap on the
inner door while the newly married
couple went through the performance
again and donned their street clothes.
