BADGER VALLEY
BACHELOR IS DE-
CE|VED BY CUPID

A bachelor from Badger Valley has
found out that along with the qualifi-
cations of the Eugene law, and the
price of marriage license, one thing
more IS necessary to become benedict
namely that of securing consent of a
member of the fair sex to complete the
bargain. It seems strange that cupid
should let man sleep SO years, but ac-
cording to the Spring Green News a
bachelor from Badger Valley, aged So,
appeared before a proper officer of
Spring Green and caused him to make
out an application for marriage Ii
cense, the young woman whose name
he gave as being willing to share his
joys and sorrows being a Well known
and highly respected young lady Of the
vicinity of Badger Valley.
Itnow develops that the young lady
knew absolutely nothing about the
matter; that there was not shadow
of an EXCISE for said old bachelor to
have her name mentioned in connection
with that of his upon marriage license
or IN any other manner, any more than
there was to use the name of any other
girl in the country in such connection.
The man in question, who might be
called peculiar" in some respects
from this circumstance if for no other
reason) undoubtedly thought to secure
the license was the first requisite, and
that then he had but to ''pop the ques-
ton" that girls were simply waiting
around for old bachelors to come along
with marriage licenses.
He found out his mistake just as soon
as the facts above stated became known
to this young lady.
In order to encourage matrimony
The Baraboo News makes newly mar
ried couples wedding present in the
shape of subscription to the weekly
paper. o Perhaps this is what prompted
the bachelor to visit the marriage clerk.
At any rate the following is an extract
from letter in reply to our offer:

DIR. WORST ON

PRESIDENT OF NORTH DAKOTA
A. c. DELIVERED MASSIVE PA
TRIOTic ADDRESS ON GEORGE
WASHINGTON AT Y. M. c. A.
YESTERDAY.

"Tn shaping the destinies of this
world and it's peoples God intended
this nation Is the one to lake the lead
in the cause Of liberty and freedom
and out Of all the various .nationalities
that had settled the different colonies
Of this great commonwealth, George

hour to lead IN unhappy people in
their courageous struggle to gain their
independence and to be foremost in
the construction of. a new government
that differed from any other the. world
has ever knoWn.' E...
great father of his country by Pres.
John II. Worst Of the North Dakota
Agricultural college yesterday after
noon in his patriotic address before
the mems meeting at the Y. M. G. A.
auditorium. DR.. Worst drew a large
audience which completely filled the
auditorium and the beyond.
washington was the greatest man
Of his time" continued the speaker.
N country will ever produce a great
ef. He came of that mixture Of no.
bility and the common class which
gave him a perfect understanding of
and ~capability of sympathiz-
ing with all elements of society. His
quiet yet impressive dignity gave him
INA ISA LSSS LIS u .
which made them both love Inc respect
him and which proved a valuable as
set in executing some of the numerous
military strategies which, with his
small army, he was compelled to re-
sort to in order to conquer the greater
British forces
DR.. Worst referred to Washington's
great ability as a leader, to his early
military training under General Brad
dock n his skirmishes with the
French on the Ohio frontier while
serving under the appointment of
Governor Dinwiddie Of Virginia. He
told of his trips as a surveyor and fin
ally of his greater efforts in the
luton which gave the United States
their independence from Great Britain.
Touching slightly on Washington's
character from the standpoint of eu-
genics, DR.. Worst stated that 80 per
cent Of a mans characteristics and
character are hereditary n the re-
naming 10 per cent is from his own
development. In this way he clearly
pointed out how strongly the part of
heredity plays and how people are
dominated by the characteristics Of
their antecedents for generations.
Heredity played an important part
in the life Of George Washington, he
said. Washington was a man who had
been prepared for several generations
for the great crisis of which he proved
himself to be the master. He was pre-
pared for his hour and his struggle to
be the leader Of a down-trodden peo-
pie and was ready when the emergen-
cy arose.
AS a president and constructionist,
DR.. Worst paid a high tribute to the
first president Of the United States
and showed his superiority of intelli-
gence when he kept quietly on with
his determined policy during his Sec
ond administration in the face Of
threats of impeachment and assassin
alton following Anthony Wayne's war
in Ohio.
He was a master mind raised for
leadership in an important hour" con-
cluded the president.

DOING FINE WORK

A. L. Miller, former state secretary
of the Y. M. c. A. in North Dakota, is
doing a reasonable work in the "Y''
at Indian university. He has stirred
up the work Of the "Y' in hat school,
and transformed it from an inactive
organization to one of the most lively
forces in the school.
He has organized several boys
clubs in Bloomington, with the assist
ance Of others of the student body,
and the "Y" is doing valuable work in
the Monroe county jail and in the pro-
baton work of the juvenile court. A
number of abandoned churches in the
vicinity have been cleaned up, and
students have gone to hold services in
them.
The work which Mr.. Miller and his
assistants have lone among the
Italian railroad laborers camped five
miles outside the city is especially
interesting. These men have been
taught to read, write and spell, and
whereas at the beginning Of the in
stitution they knew not one word of
English, an Interpreter being .neces-
sary at first, they were able, after the
last lesson. to show papers in which
the writing and sentence construction
