The wedding of Miss Kate Fielder and
MIR. Sidney Hogerton occurred at IL
o'clock today at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Logan Williamson, in the Palmer

ment, the wedding was quite simple
and and informal, but it was very
beautiful, nevertheless.
The Rev. Orme Finn, of the North
Avenue Presbyterian church, perform
ed the ceremony, only few relatives
being present.
Mrs. Logan Williamson, sister to the
bride, was her only attendant, and Mr..
George Yundt was best man to Mr..

Will IT NEXT
BE BRYAN VS..
ROOSEVELT
AS The Lineup IN 1916
Some Washington Observers
So See II

Washington, D. c., Nov 12.-The
Washington Post, in a leading editor
ial takes the position held by number
of public men that conditions may
bring the next race for the presidency
between Bryan and Roosevelt. Says
the Post.
Bryan and Roosevelt are to be rival
candidates for the Presidency in 1916,
according to all signs of the times.
Col. Roosevelt gave notice two
months ago practically in so many
words, that he would be a candidate
for the Presidency in 1916, Naturally,
he will aim to be the Republican cam
didate There is too much good stuff
in the old party to be neglected. All it
needs is reorganization, under the mas
terly direction of the chief politician
of the age. The Progressives will fol-
low Roosevelt anyhow, and the Repub-
licans must If the regulars don't like
him. who will bell the cat?
Mr.. Bryan has not lost any time in
reminding Mr.. Wilson that he was ell
ected for only one term. Mr.. Wilson
has not declared himself unalterably
aappOsed to more than one term as the
platform does, and it may be that in d
pinch the new President would look
kindly upon a second term. But Bryan
will attend to all that. If necessary, he
will marshall all the forces of Democ-
racy to protect President Wilson
against the dangers of a second term.
With the Republican party knocked
out and the Democratic President fac
ing more mountainous obstacles than
ever confronted Taft; with no Repub-
lican to checkmate Roosevelt, and with
BRYAN ready to destroy Wilson i
appears now to be inevitable that Bry-
an and Roosevelt will nominate them
selves in 1916
Bryan and Roosevelt have never
measured swords, but each knows the
others mettle Circumstances and
their own ambition are conspiring to
bring about a finish fight between
them four years hence.

work for the company, an insurance
amounting to three years pay will be
paid to the dependents of the employee,
the maximum payment being $4,000.
In the case of death resulting from
sickness or from accident outside the
business, the payment will be one
years pay for employees who have
been ten years or more in service, and
one-half of one years pay for en-
ployees who have been from five to ten
yeors in service, the maximum pay
ment being $4,000
If any state statutes provide for
more liberal compensation than is pro-
vided under the Benefit Plan, the stat
utory provision will prevail. Where
the employees have legal rights, as
in some accident cases, they will have
the option of exercising such rights or
accepting the company's benefits.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company has set aside from its
surplus fund which provides for
those whom it directly employs and
also provides a reserve, upon which,
under certain conditions, the Associat-
ed Companies may draw. This fund is
supplemented by funds set aside by
each company The total appropria-
tons will aggregate something more
than $10,000,000. The benefits, it is es-
timated, will cost annually about ST.
100000 more than the present pay
ments on this account.
The administration of the funds will
be in the hands of Employees Benefit
Committees of five. to be appointed by
the Board of Directors of each COM
pany. The committee of each asociat-
ed company will have jurisdiction over
the benefits for employees of that COM
pany.

he American Telephone and Telegraph
Company will have general jurisdic
ton over the plan for the entire svs-

new DRESS FABRIC
IN 1.-THE LATEST
Flax Fibre Will Reduce Cost
Of Living

New York, Nov. PA new Russian
fabric, a cloth will soon be on the
market and will find warm welcome
for the reason that it will be far
cheaper than any of its competitors.
This new cloth costs but Is IL cents
per yard, as compared with compet-
ing fabric that costs 81 cents per yard
to manufacture.
While the process for making this
was patented in 1902, it was not until
last year that a company to manufac-
ture it was organized and the demand
is far greater than the supply. Mr..
Cheveline, an engineer, discovered a
method of obtaining by chemical pro-
cess a fax fibre much finer than can
be obtained by the ordinary process of
retting. The process has the advant-
age of giving less waste and permitting
the use of both long and short tibres,
Such discoveries as these, that re-
duce the cost of living, are of uniyer-
sal interest.

The habitat of the butterfly is almost
the entire world. There are. places 10
the very remote arctic and antarctic
regions in which the butterfly cannot
live Butterflies have been found in
So degrees north Latitude In Green
land, but are unknown In Iceland. and
only very few are to be found in
New Zealand. Ireland has about forty
species Of butterflies, while Great Brit
ain has seventy These interesting re-
strictions are in large measure deter
mined by the distribution of the plants
on which the larvae feed. Natural bar
riers, such as wide stretches of sea,
have also in many cases determining
effect, says the Progressive Teacher.
Certain species, however, often cross
sea channels and establish new colonies
or REINFORCE old ones
Some observers have recorded rather
remarkable facts concerning the flights
Of butterflies. Kent says that he has
frequently seen hosts Of white butter
flies crossing the English channel from
France into England. H. w. Bates
states that at one place in South Amer
lea he saw eighty different species Of
lepidoptera flying about in large num-
bers. The flights are due, perhaps. in
very large measure, to the gregarious
habits of these insects and not to
real migrating instinct. Darwin relates
that he saw butterfly shower" ten
miles off the South American coast.
He states that "as far as the eye could
reach, even with the aid Of the teIe
scope, it was not possible to see a space
free from butterflies"
Like Abrahams cattle of old, butter
flies are "ringed, specified, spotted and
streaked," besides the white, yellow
and brown. They rival the tropical
birds in the beauty and the brightness
of their coloring. s,. 80.
