sun of $4,000 for the death of

Its that husband of hers. My
dear, If my Will wasn't such a wonder

to marry, for I've seen so much mar

I grew up with. And then, when ]
begin thinking that all men are selfish
and inconsiderate. I bring myself UP
with a jerk, because there's Will
and there must be some more like

Three harvest hands-Andy Ander-
son. John Nelf and Grin Morgan
are minus 800 as a result of an at
tack by three negroes. The farm
laborers were in Grand Forks yester.
day and made complaint to the local
police. They gave a description of
the three men who held them up, but
said description was lacking in de-
tail. In fact. practically all they could
tell was that the robbers were black
ana each carried a gun.
Tho robbery occurred near Iari-
moro Saturday night. The men were
hooing IT along the Great Northern
railroad tracks to the lights Of Lari-
more, when q trio Of negroes doomed
up out of the ditch and leveled guns
at them. The harvest hands were
forced to shell over. They hurried to
Larimore and summoned assistance,
but could find no trace Of the men.
Believing that the neRro were head
I'D for Grand Forks. they came to this
city yesterday morning and COM

TAFT-BOWERS WEDDING OCT. ~
SEASONS BIG EVENT AT CAPITAL

Washington, Oct. 12.-Social Wash
ington Is more interested just now in
the two weddings in the Bowers fam
1ly than in any other event of the fall
season. In this marriage on October
IL of Miss Bowers, daughter of the
late Solicitor General Lloyd Bowers,
and Robert Taft, son of former Pres
ident and Mrs. Taft, the capital will
witness a wedding second only in in
terest TO the recent White House we'd
dings.
1t will bring back to Washington
for the time being not only the en-
tire Taft family but a large number
of the social and official notables OF
the Taft regime, including former
Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs.
Franklin MacVeagh Of Chicago For
mer Secretary of Agriculture and Miss
Wilson are living here, and it is ex-
pected that some representatives of
h Meyer family will come down for
the event.
Miss Taft Is to be the maid of hon
or. Miss Bowers other attendants are
to be Miss Louise HELEN, who two
weeks later will marry Tom Bowers,
the brides brother; Miss Frances
Noyes Of Washington II Chicago.
Miss Julia Thompson of Chicago, and
Miss Marjorie Edgar OF Minneapolis.
Naturally the young people are not
proclaiming the itinerary of their
wedding journey. but they have prom
ised to retur for the wedding of Tom
Bowers and Louise HELEN on October
81. That also is to be a noon we'd
ding at "Old" st. Johns, n the
bride II bridegroom of the first
wedding will be matron of honor and
best man at the second. Miss HELEN
is to have both Il matron Of honor
and a maid of honor, her sister, Miss
Mary HELEN, serving in the latter ca
pacity. She will be further attended
by Miss Frances Noyes. Miss Eleanor
Reyburn, and Miss Julia Whiting as
bridesmaids.
Martha Bowers was one of Helen
Taft's most intimate friends. She
and Miss Taft worked. PLAYED. and
rode together, and finally. toward the
close of the Taft regime. nearly broke
their necks together-at least Martha
Bowers nearly broke hers when her
horse a away with her one afte

another woman. Why. he positively
dotted on Dorothy. and he was per-
fectly foolish owe the babies. l
never saw a happier man than Joe
was-simply. wrapped up In his. nome
and family. He never looked at an
other girl till he began going with
Dorothy. You know. we girls were
all kind of smitten with him, but he
eve seemed to care a snap for any
Of .us until he saw her."
Everybody is blaming Joe now
said the hostess; "and plying his pool
wife. But If I could get up a tar and
feather party. it's the other woman
who would get a surprise visit from
some Of US wives.
Joe never meant to do anything
wrong. 1 believe that this minute no
than anything else on earth. But this
woman-she isn't eve divorced-sim-
ply laid her eyes on him and marked
him for her own. He didn't run after
her. He didn't know she ran after
him. But she never let the man get
away from her hypnotic influence
from the first moment. 1t was a little
party here, q cosy tea chat there,
something she must have advice about,
a motor outing that wouldn't be per-
feet without him, ct cetra. AT first
there were a few others invited, but
after a while he was the only one
and the time came when Joe was. In
her apartment more than he was
home. 49,
"she is a regular vampire woman.
She has done the same thing with
other men. It makes no difference
whether they are married or not. She
can wean a man away from everything
that is good and sweet and wholesome.
There are some women like that, you
know. They have a peculiar fascina-
ton for men. And somehow the men
never seem to realize 1t. Now you
couldn't tell Joe anything about This
woman. He'd laugh at you and say
you were prejudiced. He believes his
wife is Jealous and trying to hamper
his freedom. because she Is fighting
to keep him loyal as a father and
husband. I believe he sometimes hates
her because she gets in the way OF his
championship Of the woman who rules
him."
II wonder why it is that a man
never recognizes danger in sue a
woman" unused the visitor. Coming
here in the train there was a girl OF
that type. All she had to do was to
raise her heavy-lidded eyes and look
at a man, and he was Immediately her
slave. Even the old men fell all over
themselves to get her attention"
II presume it's masculine vanity in
the beginning" again sighed the hos
tess. mo man thinks he can be a
slave to any woman. and so he neg
lects to fight shy of the temptress
before it is too late"

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 12-Harry Wade,
who is an electrician employed by the
Union Light. Heat Power. company,
had his arm quite badly burned on
the farm owned by Chesbro Smith.
At first 1t was thought necessary to
amputate the arm, but an effort was
made to save it and last reports show
It's condition better than was expect
ed.
Wade was assigned to take care of
some trouble on the Smith farm yes
terday and was on u pole when the
accident happened. In some manner
h. got his arm across the points Of
contact Of two $500 volt wires and
received the entire charge in his arm.
He managed to reach the ground and
signaled to CHESHIRE Smith, who was
standing near and who had no init
nation OF any trouble. MI. Smith,
thinking that Wade wanted some in
formation. walked over and at once
noticed the arm, and taking Wade
in his car, brought him to DIR. Burton,
