iOBBLER MATCHED
FINE BROOD

~Starkweather, N. d., July 1S.-A COB
bier on the william Baker farm east of
here has assumed the dual role of
father and mother to a brood of three
young turkeys.
The turkey hen laid four eggs in a
pen for hogs. Evidently she did not
like her surroundings, as she aban-
doned them. Noting her negligence,
the gobbler assumed her place on the
eggs, and in four weeks brought out
three little turkeys. That was two
weeks ago, but the old gobbler is still
maintaining his reputation as a mother.
Will experts at the state fair at
Grand Forks kindly decide, first, If
the gobbler should die, would the
young turkeys be orphans, and again,
Il the hen turkeys Of the brood mar
ry, will their father give the bride
away; or. should the neighbours young
%gobblers q wooing, go, would 1t be the
gobbler who would set the alarm clock
at 10 p. m. or,the original mamma tur-
key?
This family of dual motherhood may
be brought to the fair IL the officials
wish. Experts in turkey talk (not
trot), claim the youngsters call the
gobbler "Dadette."

AUTUMN ROMANCE OF
SOUTH BENDER HERE
Section Hand WEEDS Iowa Boarding
House Keeper 16 Years
His Senior.

A romance OF the autumn OF life in
which a South Bend man is the hero.
has come TO life In DesMoines. Ia.
Charles Hatfield. aged SIS. OF South
Bend. and Mrs. Julia Clark, aged "a.
OF Adelphia. Ia, were married at Des
Moines July II. after a courtship OF
six weeks.
Hatfield went 10 Iowa about six
weeks ago and secured work as a
section hand on a railroad running
through Adelphi. He found board at
Mrs. Clark's home and proceeded TO
make himself agreeable 10 the widow
by helping with the chores about the
house and being generally useful. SO
well did he succeed that Mrs. Clark
was soon willing 10 declare him indis-
pensable and a wedding was agreed
upon.
Hatfield left the section and went
TO work on a farm adjoining the small
one owned by Mrs. ClarR. Last Thurs
day his employer, Harry Beattie, took
the couple to Des Moines in his auto
mobile. They secured a license and
were married with Beattie as witness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hatfield will live on
the farm.

she had chosen that profession with
the sole idea OF securing a husband.
and since she had found Rupert her
ambition was entirely satisfied. She
was n born bourgeoise and a married
woman by vocation.

which she began 70 take a violent

When a few minutes afterwards the
hall porter was given by Rupert the
following telegram to send of al

congratulated himself on his shrewd-
