to the terms of his agreement with Gov.
Sulzer not to talk concerning his prison
term or his pardon
Senator Knute Nelson, with whom
Brandt came from New York at Z O'Clock
yesterday morning and who saw him on
for the West shortly before noon. was
almost as reserved. While the young

but later he commented briefly on his
prospects. saying that he felt sure
Brandt would be able to>live down the
experience of the last sixyears.
Brandt is now on his way to Min
nesota," said Senator Nelson, but ]

some place farther West before he set
ties down for good.

INNATE OF POOR FARM
WAS TAKEN FOR BRIDE

Hopkinsville. Ky, May 31.-A
courtship accomplished in two calls
and one letter, ended here yester-
day with the marriage of Charles
Knight, of Daniel Boone, KY, to
Mrs. Nancy Jane Dunn. AZ years
old. The home which she consent
ed to leave after the short court
ship is the poor farm.
Mrs. Dunn is-a strong, comely
woman. The superintendent of the
poor farm gave the bride away.
Her sister-paupers took a keen
interest in the match and helped
her prepare a calico trousseau.
They swarmed around her after the
wedding and threw rice and old
shoes and wished her happiness.
Superintendent Anderson declares
the wedding has done much to dis
sipate the feeling of failure which
so easily settles upon the inmates
at poor farm, and to suggest to
others that life may still hold hap
piness and romance for them.
Judge Walter Knight performed
the ceremony.

CIVIC PRIDE AND THE
MOST USEFUL CITIZEN

Col. Harry Sommers, editor Of
our esteemed contemporary. The
Elizabethtown News. makes the
following pertinent observations
concerning civic pride:
Every man who lives in a town
owes something to the town, and
yet in every place there are some
men who get all they can out of a
town and give absolutely nothing in
return. The town gives to a man a
social life, business opportunities,
school advantages and church con-
veniences. The most useful citizen
is not the man who makes the most
money out of the town. but the man
who does the most for the town.
The public spirited citizen who al
ways seeks an opportunity to say
something or to do something to
help his home town is worth a doz-
en- skinfints who live OF the COM
munitv and reyer turn a hand to
helm II. Every town would grow
II every one in it would make 1t a
chief business to hoost II and help
II. "ra M town w'll grow where a
great number of the business men
are So selfshly absorbed in their
own hrslr ess as 10 not say a word
