Q.-I have been going
with a young man for about
year now and he has asked
me to marry him. But | am
a cripple and a disgrace to
my folks so l don't want to
disgrace him, for | love him
too much. What shall | do?
He says il / don't marry
him he will never be happy,
as he never did see a girl he
cared for like me. | could
never forget him, and some
times l think 1t will be best
for me to go where he can
never see me any more, but
when | think of giving him
up it seems that l cannot.
Can you give me any adj
vice? MABEL.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-12-30

Ar you mean that because
you are cripple you are a dis
grace, you are too sensitive about
your infliction; and If your folks
entertain that attitude toward you
they are selfish and unkind.
cannot advise you as fully as
should like to because you do not
state whether your disablement
would affect the children which
might come to you. II not, there
Is no reason why you should not
marry.

between his legs, shot into his throat
His body was found in the chair.

GERMAN BOMBS KILL
FOUR IN CITY OF PARIS

Paris, Oct. PA score of bombs,
launched on different quarters Of
Paris by two German %aviators, killed
four civilians and injured twenty, Of
whom twelve were women and girls.
The damage done to property was
small.
The airmen appeared soon after
noon. One began the attack by drop
ping a bomb near the Northern rail
way terminal, another in Rue St. La
zare and a third which landed at the
rear of the Cathedral Of Notre Dame.
Three more bombs were hurled by the
same airman in the vicinity of the
bourse. A house was set on fire but
the loss was not great. One of these
missiles struck within 100 yards of
an office occupied by American news
paper men.
The second aeroplane also flew over
the cathedral, dropping four bombs,
n of which lighted on the roof of
the church, but failed to explode. A
second fell in the square where the
bishops residence is located. A third
struck the parapet of the Quai de
Bourbon and glanced off into the
Seine. The fourth disappeared in the
Seine neal the bridge of Notre Dame.

News Of the Week From MANY
Sections Of the State,
DIES At ACE OF N|NETYFOUR
Mrs. Maria Fadden Was the Second
White Woman to Settle in Grand
Forks County.

Mrs. Maria Fadden, aged ninety
four. a survivor of the Sioux Indian
massacre Of Southern Minnesota in
1862; the second white woman to set
tie in Grand Forks county, a pioneer
of the Red River valley cart days and
a homesteader when ninety years old,
is dead at the home Of her son, John
Fadden, of Arvilla.
No career more picturesque could
be imagined than that Of Mrs. Fadden
from the time that she and her hus-
band, over sixty years ago, settled at
Henderson, Mimi, and later at Yellow
Medicine, Mimi, in the then pioneer
district.
At the time of the Sioux massacre
Mrs. Fadden saved her children from
death at the hands of the crazy red,
skins by hiding them away about the
homestead.
1t was in 1871 that Mr.. and Mrs.
Fadden and their children removed to
North Dakota, making the trip from
Yellow Medicine in one of the histor-
ical Red River valley carts.
The Fadden homestead includes
much of the site of the present city
of Grand Forks. The claim shack was
erected in what is now Central park.
A portion Of the business district of
the present city of Grand Forks was
at one time the Fadden homestead.
Seven years ago., when Mrs. Fadden
was eighty-seven years of age, she
went alone to the western part OF
North Dakota. the pioneer life still

POTATOES ARE A GOOD CROP
Add to the Profits of Farmers in the
BsrthoId District.

A hundred and two thousand dollars
is the revenue the farmers Of the
Berthold district will obtain this year
through the growing of potatoes.
Estimates Of the districts crops.
based on returns from a big percent
age of the acreage, indicate that the
whole production for the season, will
be about 200 bushels an acre, with a
total of 10000 bushels in the dis
trict.
The potatoes are of good size and
splendid quality this year and the
farmers expect to obtain top prices.
Berthold, since the farmers went in
to the growing of potatoes, has been
gathering additional wealth. The
farmers, in the three seasons that
they have grown the tubers, have had
excellent returns for their work. Sew
eral fields yielded an average of 240
bushels,

KING ALBERT AND HIS
ARMY HAD LEFT CITY
Big Guns Of the Invaders Caused
Immense Damage 10 His
tOTiC Town.

London, Oct. 1l.-Realizing the
hopelessness of continuing it's strug-
gle against the German guns Antwerp
has surrendered.
Two-thirds of the population had
left the city before the surrender.
King Albert had led out of the
b~eleaguered city all the Belgian army
except the few artillerists necessary
to man the guns of the Antwerp forts.
When the surrender of the city was
decided upon the retreating troops
blew up the famous fort Of MerXem,
north of the city, to prevent its being
used in future operations by the Ger
mans.
A few Of the inner ring of forts are
still occupied by Belgian troops, who
are keeping up a desultory fire against
the German forces. The city itself,
however, is under German domination
and it is only a question OF time I'M
til all the forts are silenced.
Their continued resistance will
have little effect on the Germans. 1t
is not known in which city the Bel
gan capital will now be established,
although dispatches earlier in the
\ eek announced that all the depart
ments of government were at Ostend.
There is no Disgusting the fact here
that although Antwerp's fall had been
regarded as an ultimate certainty it's
surrender SO early in the lombard
ment was not regarded as likely.
The German coup may have a Sc
rious effect upon the morale Of the
Belgian troops, already weakened by
the destruction of 81 many strong
holds.

FINE FINANCIAL CONDITION
European War Has Little Effect on
North Dakota Banks.

Business reports for the month of
September indicate that the financial
depression resulting from the Euro
pean war is felt to a much slighter eX-
tent in North Dakota than in other
parts Of the country, according to
Grand Forks bankers.
Roughly speaking, they say that
conditions are almost the same as
they were during the corresponding
period Of 1913.
The banks are we'll supplied with
money and are well satisfied with the
present state of affairs.
Reports from other parts Of the coun-
try seem to indicate, however, thai
they are less fortunate than this state.
Although commercial rates have shown
a substantial raise there is little dis

ASSASSINATION HINTED AT

binary rumors are circulated as to the
circumstances Of the death of King
Charles OF Roumania, announced Off
cially at Bucharest. 1t is said that he
was either poisoned or assassinated.
There is reason to believe that the
last hours of the king were intensely
bitter. His refusal to abandon Ger

SUSPENSION ORDER RAISED
Excess Baggage Rates Will Be En-
forced After Nov. l.

The North Dakota excess baggage
rate, as fixed by a recent order Of the
state railroad commission and later
suspended on application by railroads
for rehearing, must be reinstated Nov.
1 under an order announced. The
rate is 10 per cent OF first class traffic.
The request of travelling men that
railroads be compelled to issue inter
changeable mileage and excess bag
gage coupons was not granted, the
commissioners citing the fact that the
courts have ruled that such regulations
cannot be maintained.
