Their wedding occurred at The Han

Mr.. Gunderson was a tall, manly ap-

Glendale, N. D., Nov. 27.-No soon
ballots cleared away, and the news OF
the election of Woodrow Wilson reach
ed Glendale, than a score at least Of
the unterriied began casting wistfai
eyes at the Glendale postofice. 1t is
said there are sixty-two democrats who
reside here and as many candidates for
the job which President Wilson will
have to give out at the expiration CT
Postmaster Bunker's term. "To the
victors belong the spoils,' It has :,een
a mighty long time since the democrats
have had the opportunity of even hop
ing for one Of Uncle Sans appoint
ments. 1t is little wonder her there
are many applicants.
The present salary of the postmaster
here is $4,000. It looks good t. any
nan with good rich blood in his veins
But lest any Of the numerous candi-
dates should get the idea that the jop
is a soft snap, just take it from an
adept, there is plenty of WORK to do,
and a whole lot Of people to Keep in
a peaceable frame of mind A post
master feels most of the time like crss-
ing the government officials and the
people, but one of the requirements of
the regulations is that he be at all
times attentive to duty and courteous.
He must answer a thousand foolish
questions a week, and have on the end
of his tongue ready for delivery at a
moments notice, the exact time a let
ter will reach Posyville in New York.
There are Of course other duties which
the new postmasters will find when he

Of having Governor Wilson, as presi-

created much interest among public
men in this city, who, however doubt
if it could be done, even with MI. Viii

named six of the nine members Of the
supreme court as it is now made up,
The average age of members Of the
supreme court has been reduced from
6S, where it was when Mr.. Taft be-
came president, to 81. The oldest jus
tice is Holmes, who is II. Three OF
the court are but IS. The outlook TO,
a vacancy during the Wilson admins
