A CASE OF REAL LOVE.

When man and women will walk
over the mountains distance of 80
miles for the purpose of securing a
marriage license and return to their
homes the next day by the same route
to secure the document obtained from
the county recorder, it shows the couple
are made up of good metal. Such a
feat was performed this week by Miss
Jemima I. McGarvey and Archie R.
Newcomb, who walked all the way from
Elk River and back in order that they
might become husband and wife. The
license was issued Tuesday night by
Deputy Auditor Holmberg who was
called from his home at late hour for
that purpose by the parties interested.
The wedding was scheduled to take
place yesterday, Christmas day, at Elk

1t is not unnatural that wrong I'M
preston prevails as to the class Of peO-

roads The enthusiasm Of automobile
owners for good roads and the large
number OF cars seen in all parts Of the
country have given the impression that
the automobiles will be the largest
gamers This is. however. an errone-
GUS idea. as road census" taken
would show that the motorcar owners
are In the minority. and the people de-
irving the greatest benefit are the
farmers.

CATHOLIC CHURCH ITEMS.

As fitting conclusion on the text,
"Peace to Men of God WILL" the pas
tor said "What shall ] say as Xmas
thought! Well, nothing but repeat the
burden of the angelic hymn that
aroused the shepherds from sleep on
that eventful night and appraised them
of the birth of Christ. Lets repeat that
joyful anthem over again, and then
again, and why? Because it not only
contained the essence of the ten com
mandments, the outward expression of
that inward law, do good and avoid
evil, but proclams in sweetest tones
the reward of obeying that heaven
given mandate Love God with thy
whole heart and thy neighbor rs thy
self Truly the hope of all mankind
is peace. There is nothing that we do
not do without the hope of getting this
interior satisfaction. Why did we fail
so oftenl Why is the world turned
topsy- turvy in its terrible rush for
reform, or better, reliefe Whence
come all those things that make con
ditions almost next to unbearablea
One word suffces for the answer, and
that word is Self shness, in all it's forms
and varieties; selfishness in all its
guises and varying degrees.
Dramatically opposed to selfishness
is the Xmas spirit 1t makes us forget
self in the joy of the season. But the
strangest thing of all is that, in so
many instances, it is but fleeing ray
of sunshine. The day comes and goes,
but does it leave us better mena The
hates we forget, do they return againa
Or do our minds become clouded and
our hearts as hard as flint when it is
a mere question of our neighbor S goods
If so, then our boosted Xmas joy was
but a sembiance As we have days set
apart to renew and increase our patri-
Otism, so the real true Xmas celebra-
ton means that where we were enemies
we now become friends; where we were
cold-hearted we now become generous;
where we were cogs in wheel we now
become living agencies with the warmth
of affeetionate hearts. And, in truth,
if all men would only make part of
the Xmas spirit linger on with them
the whole year round, then in every
deed the world would become better.

gelic hymn realization, in spite of
the fact that selfishness underlies the

The Xmas celebration was genuine
surprise on the pastor. He had no idea
of the numerical strength of his mem
bers. Over l22 people received Holy
Communion, and yet quite few could
not possibly attend. Such record was
never known in the parish. At the
High Mass the church was crowded.
and the choir certainly covered itself
with laurels, as the rendition of that
classical mass was excellent. The Sun

Republicans and Democrats alike

can affairs in line with a policy of
keeping the senate informed on de-
Velopments. His conference tomor-

ICY, taking the senators into his cor-
hdence on other pressing problems
Of international consequence. 1t is be-
lieved the Mexican situation will be
passed over the Incidental comment
that nothing has occurred to mt
any change OF policy by the gov
erpment.
On the canal question, the Japanese
controversy and the unratifled arbitra-
ton treaties. however, the president
then could tell the senator's a great
deal. The view expressed in admins
tration circles has been that the
Adamson resolution postponing for
two years the operations Of the free
tolls clause OF the canal act. we'll
might be adopted giving ample time
for diplomatic parley over disputed
points.
The arbitration treaties it is known
are uppermost in the presidents mind,
and it would not be surprising il vir-
tually the whole conference ore de-
voted to discussion OF the me- >.
their early ratification.
The proposed broad Bryan peace
treaties, a few of which already
have been completed and the princi-
pies which have been accepted by
about 80 nations also are likely to be
given prominent consideration.
