Moreover. I feel that he loves me. As

Mrs. Belmont is living under a sepa-

Il met Raymond Belmont when

that time we were always together.
August Belmont knew about cur asso-

emily he believed that a Belmont
couldn't possibly demean himself by
marrying a poor girl-a girl not in

After the wedding Raymond tele-
phoned to the apartment and told my
maid to prepare a wedding feast and
to have a lot Of wine Raymond had
not been drinking when we were mar
ried, but at that party afterward he
did drink a great deal. About /
o'clock that night Henry Fleitman
called and demanded to know if we
were married.
The marriage certificate was ex-
hibited, He glanced at II and then
walked into the bedroom where Ray
mond was sleeping. so that's the
way you married him, is it?' he said
turning back into the room with a
sneer. Well. he must went away and

Grinnell. Aug. 1S.--Tpou the recon-
mendation of the committee on secur-
ing pastor, the CONGREGATIONAL
church of this city yesterday voted by
a large majority to call Harold Strong
as assistant pastor for the next year
at a salary of $500. Mr. Strong is a
graduate of Iowa college, class of 1912,
where he was considered unusually
strong along lines that will make him
especially useful in this relation here
He has been in the Y. NJ. c. a. work
and at theological study most OF the
time since his graduation. He plans
to take another year Of theological
work at Oberlin. At present he is man
aging chautauqua work in southern
iowa and Missouri. The committee
has made no recommendation for the
regular pastorate.
Mr.. Stephen j. Sparks, well along in
the eighties, had close call the other
day from the sharp edge of an ak he
was welding In cutting some wood.
His chopping block was nearer a
clothes line than he had thought and,
as he struck, the ak caught on the line
and came down on his head, cutting a
long cash over the left eye and bT tbs
ing the cheek bone. A trifie farther
to the left and the temple would have
been badly involved. or to the right
and the eye would have gone. Mr..
Sparks has been handy with an ak all
his life and. as a pioneer In this part
Of Iowa, has done great deal of chop
ping, but he says this is the first time
he was ever injured by the edge OF
an ak.
The polls are open from O'Clock
till this afternoon for both men and

thing involved in this question has beer
warm and widespread for the past few
