One Of Our Grant County Young Men
Joins the Army Of Benedicts.

The following account of the
wedding of our young friend,
Ernst Haacke, is given by the
Leola correspondent of the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader, Sept. 8:
The wedding of Miss Louise Arndt.
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. +. Arndt
OF Leola, and Ernst II. Haacke. of
Milbank, took place at the German
Lutheran church at Leola, the cere.
mony being performed by Rev. G.
lambert yesterday.
The bridesmaids were the Misses
Olga and Anna Arndt, sisters of the
bride. The groom was attended by
Mr.. Fred Harms and Mr.. Lawrence
Cotterlnan.
After the ceremony dinner was serv-
ed. The guests were the immediate
relatives OF the bride and the parents
and brother OF the groom, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chris and Henry Haacke. of
Milbank. Later in the day the young
couple came by auto to Aberdeen and
IN the evening attended services in
lions Evangelical Lutheran church,
where both were active workers for
years. They departed for Mitchell to
spend few days at the corn palace
before taking up their residence on
the farm near Milbank, which they
have named "Friedhaven."
Miss Arndt was organist for the
choir OF the Evangelical Lutheran
lions church OF Aberdeen and pianist
for the Luther League, of which or
ganlzatlon she was twice chosen Sec
retary. and was a faithful worker in
do col
ed IN the city auditors office and at
the Aberdeen National bank up to
the time she left for Valparaiso uni
versity in December last wear. Be
fore this she taught school at Leola
and clerked in her fathers store for
several years.
She met her husband five years ago
when he was employed as stenograph-
er and she was attending school in
Aberdeen. He took up newspaper
work soon after that. and went out
west, where he worked for papers in
Missoula and Helena, Mont, and
Walla Walla and Tacoma WASH,
conducting a circulation contest for
the evening Tribune at the latter
place during the Seattle exposition.
Mr.. Haacke confesses that this work
required being on "good terms" with
the fair western girls, but the old
flame was never extinguished until it
eliminated in the happy event of yes
terday.
He says farm life agrees with him
SO well he has decided to stick to it q
couple OF years more. He was raised
on the farm and remained there until
finishing school. He is graduate OF
the Mllbank high school and attended
the university of Southern Minnesota
{Austin) where he was awarded the
degree of Master of Accounts.

On Saturday evening last the
editor and wife enjoyed a trip
with the G. E. Mills family to
the fine farm home of A. Temple
ton in Grant Center, and after
the harness had been removed
the editor was turned loose at a
a dinner table that was decorat-
ed with fried chicken, mashed
potatoes and the innumerable
other luxuries that are to be
found upon the table of the we'll
ordered household of a Grant
county farm. After all of the
rules dietary had been properly
ignored and detied by a lengthy
session at the tables, the party
had the pleasure of a peek thru
Mr.. Templetons telescope at
the starry armament, and seem
ingly got closer to some of their
far off neighbors than they had
ever been before. The Temple
ton home is a pretty good place
to go for either the study of
astronomy or gastronomy.

No matter what sorrow befalls
the colored race it seems as if
they are always rejoicing. When
ever a group of darkeys gather
and commence singing there is
no better music as they are usu-
ally good singirs. The McCabe
Georgia Troubadours which will
appear at the opera house Friday
October End, is an all colored
troup, and present comedy
that is the equal of many high
priced white musical comedies.
The optimistic presentation Of
the darkey tango dancing will
long be remembered as it is novel
artistic and comical. The beau
tiful creole chorus with their
numerous changes of gorgeous
costumes make a most striking
appearance.

sional representative for some
fourteen years. He may not
have always voted just as you
would have voted On the ques
tions that have come up before
him as a congressman, but he
has undoubtedly voted conscien'
tiously at all times in the interest
Of his constituents and the
public welfare. His record and
public actions have been open
and above board in all cases. He
has had nothing to conceal ana
has been untiring in his work
for South Dakota. His familiarity
with the needs of the state and
his experience and acquaintance
with congressional conditions
and national legislation, will
make him an exceedingly valu
able Senator for the state.

to the voters Of the county. Mr..
Richards spoke in the Harmonic
hall and is making his canvass
on demand for change in tax
alton, which will place taxes up
on land and income only, and re-
moved from all personal proper
ty.
The democrat also was dis
satisfied with the way things are
running. 1t is the peculiar char
acteristic Of democrat to be dis
satisfied with republican ad-
ministration. We have known
and loved many democrat in
lifetime but we never knew one
who could rest in perfect peace
with republican administration
in power-he was always bound
to give forth eveidence of having
the hookworm gnawing at his vi
tails. McCarter. unlike Richards
did not propose any particular
change of system in taxation,
hut was StrOnp on rptrpnchmpnt
and economy and believed that
the expenses Of the state were
growing faster than they should,
and made his platform on re-
trenchment and reform. Before
taking up state matters the
speaker paid worthy tribute to
President Wilson and his policy
of patience in Mexican matters

LITTLE WATT -MINUTE
CONTINUED from last week..

When he came home. mother was
sewing by the lamp, all alone. Where
is wait-a- Minute?" said father" Fast
asleep on her own little bed" said
mother, quietly: she cried herself
to sleep and has never walked up.
So the father went up stairs softly
and he found Wait-a- Minute asleep
on the pillow: He stopped down and
kissed her so quietly that she didn't
wake up. Then he went down stairs
and had supper.
BY and by Wait "a Minute woke up
and it was dark. AT first she was
puzzled, then she remembered all
tbout it, and a little sob came to her
throat. But she slid from the bed.
and stole quietly down into the lighted
room.
When she saw her father, she threw
her arms around his neck and pressed
her cheek against his, whispering,
I'm so sorry, father, / was not
ready And he gave her big hug.
and said, Maybe, little one. we can
try again"
The days passed by, and circuses
came and circuses went but father
did not say anything. At last, one
evening he came home later than
usual. and Wait-a-Minute ran TO meet
him: and what do you think he put
in her hands but two blue tickets
"Oh, father, father, are they circus
tickets?"
Yes said her father. for next
Saturday, If you are ready in time
"Oh, I'll try to be ready" said Bessie.
Sunday passed. and Monday passed,
and Tuesday passed. and Wednesday
passed. and Thursday passed, and
Friday passed. and Saturday came;
and. when Wait-a- Minute woke up,
the sun was shining brightly.
"Oh. mother. mother" she called,

in front Of Dicky. Sure, dear?''
Dicky looked at her. And then he
thought that, If George Washington S
mother had looked at him like that,
George wouldn't have told lie.
1t was hard struggle for a mo-
ment. then he said, huskily,-

heads funny; but I'm all right
Mrs. Hardy scarcely heard the last
words. She was examining the back

lowed swiftly upon the examination.
He can't go, Walter" she said,
firmly.
Then the oldest thing happened.
He didn't want to goi He let his
mother undress him, and put him into
a warm bed, with a deep sigh of re-
lief, Now that the fight was over,
he knew it had been hard work TO
fight. He was quite glad % be lying
down flat. and soon he dropped off
to sleep.
Good, thing you took II in time
said the doctor that evening. An
other day would have made it pretty
serious. He'll be all right soon, now"
Then Dicky knew that he was very
glad George Washington had set him
so good an example. Har-
mer, in the Churchman.
