success and the police had no trouble
In handling the few hundred men,,
women and children who pressed
eagerly in the streets near the Gait
home.
AS soon as the ceremony was over
and the bride had been saluted by
those present in the accustomed fash
ion, while the smiling groom received
congratulations the newly-weds sped
away in a big White House automobile
to the Union station and took train
10 the South for their honeymoon. If
they told anybody their destination
that person kept his secret well. It
is reported from family circles, how
ever, that the couple will be away un-
til the first week in January.
They must be back in Washington
by January Z, though, because on that
date the president and Mrs. Wilson
will act as host and hostess at a great
reception to be given in the White
House for the Pan-American repre-
sentatives at the national capital
Moreover, congress will have recon
vened, after the holiday season, and
Mr. Wilson will have to be back at
his desk.
Only Relatives Are Present
Among those present at the cere-
mony were: Miss Margaret Wilson,
the presidents eldest daughter; Mrs.
Francis Bowes Sayre Of Williams
town, Mass. the presidents second
daughter: Mrs. William G. McAdoo,
the presidents youngest child; Mrs.

Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, the pres
ident's cousin.

Highway Law offers Real Aid.

| Highway Law Offers Real Aid.
Because of the recent discussion or
the new highway figures have been Sc
cured from the state highway commls-
sion which are interesting.
1t is plain when the two laws are
compared that Wisconsin now has Tor
the first time real state aid for high
ways. The new law, introduced by AS
semblyman Woodland of Chippewa
county is shown to be one OF the best
pieces of constructive legislation ever
passed in Wisconsin.
The fundamental difference in the
two laws is that while under the old
law counties paid money into the state
treasury first, and then were allotted
the so-called state aid, sometimes
more and sometimes less than they
had paid in, under the new law the
money comes direct from the general
fund and no county is the loser by the
transaction
For instance, the 1913 Legislature ap-
propriated $1,2O0,000 for state aid for
highways In 1914 $1,000,000 was
placed in the tax levy and 100000
was to be taken from the general fund
The demands having been received
from the counties, the $1,200,0O0 was
apportioned and the allotments made.
Twenty-three counties paid more into
the state treasury than they received
under the allotments of 1915, the last
year of the operation Of the old law.
In 1914 the figures are surprising. 1t
is shown that siXty-nine out of seven
ty-one counties paid more into the
state treasury than they received. Flor
ence and Forest counties alone were
the recipients of state aid. Florence
paid in $2,56352 and received $2.615.89.
Forest paid in $7,235.16 and received
$7,384.O8.
In 1918 the sum of $350,O0O was col
lected from the counties. The de-
mands of the counties, however,
amounted to $830,00O. To meet this
situation a bill was passed by the next
legislature appropriating $450,000, and
this was placed in the next tax levy,
making the total collection of taxes
for highway aid $1,650000 in that year.
In that year but four counties paid in
more than they received, but the tax
payers paid the benefits back to the
state later.
In 1912, the first year of the opera
ton of the old law, 20 counties paid in
more than they received. In that year
eight counties paid highway taxes and
received nothing in return. These were
Burnett, Calumet, Iron, Ozaukee. Pc
pin, Sawyer, Villas and Washburn.
Taking the average of the four years
of the operation of the old law. %
counties have paid in more money than
they received, some of this money 60
ing for the construction of roads in
another part of the state.
4she 1915 legislature appropriated
$7S5,000 for state aid for highways and
$65, 900 for operation of the states part
in making roads. The law provides.
however, that no direct tax is to be
made for highway work. the state aid
to come out of the general fund. No
county will pay in money to be used
by another The new law leaves it to
the counties to decide how much
money they shall raise for highway
work, and every cent paid by a tax
payer will be expended within the Dor
ders of his own county In addition
the state will add to this contribution
whatever is allotted by the apportion-
ment

ing of Virginia, was well represented
with kinsmen and kinswomen. She
and her mother, Mrs. William H. Boil
ing, have lived together for several
years, and Mrs. Boiling, of course, was
the dowager queen of the occasion.
The brides sisters, Miss Bertha
Boiling of Washington and Mrs. H. H.
Maury of Admission, Ala, and her
brothers, John Randolph Boiling.
Richard w. Boiling, Julian B. Boiling,
all of Washington; r. e. Boiling of
Panama and DR.. w. A. Boiling of
Louisville, KY, attended the cere-
mony
j. will be remembered that Miss
Margaret Wilson and Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones really brought about
the romance of the president and his
bride. During the first Mrs. Wilson's
last illness Miss Bones was almost
constantly at her side. The vigil was
tedious and wearing, and after Mrs.
Wilson's death Miss Bones was in
such frail health herself that DR..
Carey Grayson, family friend and
White House physician, was much
worried He urged Miss Bones to take
long walks-and Miss Bones did SO,
accompanied by her widow friend,
Mrs. Norman Gait, who also enjoyed
journeys afoot.
Friendship Ripens Into Love.
By and by, Miss Bones introduced
Miss Wilson and Mrs. Gait, and the
friendship of these two soon became
intimate. In the natural course of
events Mrs. Gait took luncheon now
and then with her chums in the
White House-and it wasn't long be-
fore the president was enjoying Mrs
Cats charm.
Mr.. Wilson is the sixth president of
the United States to marry widow.
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Fill
more and Benjamin Harrison were his
predecessors in this sort of a union,
but in not more than one or two cases
was the widow the second wife-as in
this case. John Tyler and Theodore
Roosevelt married twice, but their
second wives had not been welded be-
fore.
1t is scarcely necessary to recall
George Washington's marriage. The
world knows of his courtship, engage
ment and espousal. His love was the
Widow Custis." Thomas Jefferson,

Early Marriages Rule in State.

Early Marriages Rule in State.
Statistics for Wisconsin for several
years show that the proportion of
bachelors among grooms and of
spinsters among brides is increasing
somewhat, and that the proportions of
widowed and divorced, especially the
latter, who make another entry into
matrimony, are decreasing notably.
The great bulk of marriages in this
state occur between single men and
single women.
The statistics for 1914 have just
been completed by the bureau of vital
statistics. The following figures fur
nish a comparison with 1913 and
1912:

Her eyes were soft and her voice
shook a little as she leaned towards
him. Something in his helplessness
had kindled the protective spirit in
her.
"Has life been SO terrible for you?"
she whispered. Have you left be-
hind-but no! you never could have
been really wicked. You are not very
old, are you? Why Go you not stand
up and be a man? If you have done
wrong, then very likely people have
done wrong things to You. Why should
you brood over these memories?
Why What are you looking at? Who
are these people?"
The professor, with Quest and Long
Jim, suddenly appeared round the cor.
ner of the building. They walked
towards Craig. He shrank back in his
place.
"lf these are your enemies the girl
cried, tiercely, remember that they
cannot touch you here. I'll have the

Craig struggled to his feet. He made
no answer. His eyes were fixed upon
the professors. The girl passed her
arm through his and dragged him into
the saloon. They passed Jose in the
doorway. He scoifed It them.
"Say, the boss will fire you. Marta,
If you waste all your time with that
