Ed Beth, a young man employed IN
the foundry at the Mandt wagon works,

Surprising news will doubtless be the
announcement of the marriage in Chi
cago the early part of last month of

Ohia railroad. She is graduate of the
Lewis Institute in Chicago, and the

William E. Bryant, a former part
owner of the Madison Democrat, has
been in Stoughton few days prepar-
ing for the installment of packing
house in connection with Carl Peters,
who owns the meat business located
near the Main street bridge and who
has frontage of buildings covering "a
feet. Mr.. Peters says that the pack
ing plant is an assured fact, but Wheth-
er corporation would be organized or
whether it would be operated by firm
has not yet been decided. A brick
building will be erected in the place oc-
cupied by the Chinese laundry, and an
ice plant installed that will manufac-
ture seven and half tons per day. A
packing business would be conducted In
the same manner as the large concerns
in Milwaukee and Chicago, only on
more limited scale.
During the band concert Wednesday
evening a near accident occurred on
Main street that for a few seconds
caused cold shivers to run up the backs
of bvstanders who witnessed the oc-
currence. Two young boys, 10 or II
years old, were playing pranks on each
other on the sidewalk outside OF Emil
Olson's billiard hall, and one of them,
Alfred Olson, son of John Olson,
night Waterman at the Mandt wagon
works, to elude his companion, ran out
into the street, directly in front of a
big seven-passenger Flanders touring
car of F. w. Eggers of Two Rivers,
which was coming up the street at
speed not exceeding five or six miles
an hour. The boy ran directly into the
car and was knocked down, but fell
directly between the wheels and length
wise of. the car in such manner that
it passed over him without touching
him. So slowly was the car moving
that Mr.. Eggers had it at standstill
while the boy was still under the rear
part of the machine. He was pulled
away from the car and it was found
that his only hurt was slight scratch
on the right ankle.

MARRIAGE FAILURES.
Two Crises In Welded Life That Are
Mainly Responsible.


That there should be such involved
discussion and so many amazingly
contradictory theories about the cause
Of the failure Of marriage is surpris-
ing.
The plain fact is that marriage is al
ginning of history. This is SO true
that Homer tells US the women of an
cient Greece reckoned their ages not
from the birth date, but from the we'd
ding day. A good many husbands in
this twentieth century are good deal
more certain about the number Of
years their wives have lived since mar
riage than about the summers and win
tiers they had numbered before they
became wives.
Failure to recognize the difference
between romance and history causes
failure of marriage. Romance is all
play; history is a serious business.
Courtship is pie; marriage is potatoes.
The comedown from pie to potatoes
sometimes overstrains matters serious
". But if this crisis is safely passed
another awaits.
Love is the spice of life, but friend
ship is the nourishing food without
which life. except to unusual individ-
uals, becomes burden. The marriage
which is all spice and no food soon
gives one or frequently both of the
parties thereto acute indigestion.
When the ecstatic emotions of the hon.
eymoon have fed, marriage must find
some other subsistence or it cannot
thrive. And the only satisfying food
is Observation-Disclosures Magazine.

Campbell and His Poem.

At dinner where Thomas Campbell
and Lord Nugent were present the con-
versation drifted from the use of Latin
words in English te monosyllabic
verse. Some one expressed doubt
whether two consecutive lines compos-
ed of words Of one syllable could be
found in our language. Lord Nugent
at once quoted:
"By that dread name we wave the sword
on high
And swear with her to live, with her to
die"
Campbell said he did not believe in
the lines and asked where they came
from. Lord Nugent said, From your
own Pleasure of Hope" "How do
you know that?" asked the poet Il
know it all by heart" replied Nugent.
'I'll bet you guinea you can't repeat
it," said Campbell. The bet was taken
and Nugent started declaiming. The
poet soon got tired and said: 81 see
you know the poem. Don't go any
further" The other insisted upon re-
peating the whole poem or claiming
double stakes, and Campbell paid the
extra guinea in order to be spared the
recital Of the poem which had made
him famous-which he had forgotten.

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the

should never be used except on peescrip-
tions from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.

New California Law
Death to Boxing Game

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 6.-The box
ing game has been killed in Cali

ion of sporting men when sufficient
returns were received to show the
anti-boxing amendment, submitted at
Tuesdays election. had been adopted
by majority of $1,000.
Promoters of California have about
thirty days in which to stage bouts.
The new law becomes effective five
days after the secretary of state has
ratified the vote, which will probably
be early in December.
The measure forbids anything but
four-rouni amateur bouts. II pro-
hibits any cash prizes, thus making
it Improbable for any boxer to re-
main in the ring game in this State
James CoffrOth. the biggest Cali
fornia fight promoter, this afternoon
conceded the amendment, but decIar-
ed he has no intention of retiring
from the fight game. He says he will
stage bouts at Tia Juana, Mexico,
across the border from San Diego,
Cal, and Juarez, Mexico, across from
FL Paso, Tex He believes exhibitions
can be staged profitably at either
place.
San Francisco voted against the
amendment, but the rest OF the State
favored IT.
