the afternoon of March 23rd, when
Max Diamond and Margaret H. Nit

At 2 p. m. Judge Murray of the
County Court inquired if the contract

Five minutes later the bridal train
filed into the drawing room, which was
profusely decorated with evergreens
and roses, from beneath where inter-
woven twiglets peeped. The snow
white walls upon which hung a grace
full array large number of pictures
and love inspiring mottos.
Mr.. and Mrs. Holingeo of Seattle
acted as first best man and brides
maid. Mr.. and Mrs Henry Phillips
of the city of Minot as second brides
maid and best man.
The bride was tastefully attired in
blue silk with red sash with orange
blossoms plucked from the shores OF
the Murmuring Mouse:
The groom wore a dark and neatly
fitting suit with cutaWay coat and his
feet were adorned with a pair of i'm
ported Irish patent leather shoes OF
the goth century pattern, manufactur-
ed at Sleepy Eye, Mimi, and upon his
breast hung a large bunch of Irish
Shamrocks from his native Ireland.
The Judge performed the ceremony
in his usual graceful manner and in
closing gave the contracting parties a
bit of good advice.
After the ceremony the guests sat
down to an elegantly prepared dinner
which was enjoyed by all. There was
plenty of such inspiring beverages as
are permissible under the Chinese and
North Dakota exclusion acts and spec

from the Mouse river.
The presents were numerous ana
costly.
Henry Phillips (Sheeney) and John
Willis were toastmasters as long as
they lasted.

Orchestra.

declared Max Diamond, a local tailor,
who was married to Miss Margaret
Mitchell, fair fat and forty, who ar
rived from Montana less than two
weeks ago." I merely could not resist
Maggie's charms so asked her to
marry me. 1 didn't really intend to
get married, but the more | thot of it,
the more I wanted to get into a cozy
little home of my own. may have
acted hastily, but ! am game and will
stick if Maggie WILL" he continued.
After the ceremony was over, Dia,,
mond and his bride were showered
with rice, many pounds of it, and when
it was suggested that the tailor would
have to foot the bill, he demonstrated.
"Do you mean to say that I will have
to pay for all that rice ?" he inquired.
At about 2 A. M. the company broke
up going to their respective homes
and singing all the way, "For they are
jolly good fellows, nobody can deny"

The Lyman Players of the Grand
Theatre will present for the approval
of the Minot theatre goers one of the
best and most powerful dramas of the
present day, "Polly of the Circus
This production will not be present
ed as tabloid but as a complete play,
every line and every scene just as it
was presented in New York, where it
made one of the longest runs ever
made by any bill. The story is that
of a little circus performer named
Polly, who has spent all of her life in
big circus as bareback rider, and
with her are several other characters
that will remind you of the good old
circus days, such as the clown and
the ring master, etc. This play is
about the biggest thing ever attempt;
ed by any stock company and should
be a huge success in the hands Of the
Lyman Players. Miss Barry and Mr.
Linney will play the leads. Remember
one show only, starting at eight o.
clock. Prices 10c and zoe only.

fellows who are travelling thru the
country offering shoddy clothing at
two prices. These men are not legiti-
mate dealers and if you buy from them,

The Kaiser laushed.-Among the
officers who resemble the Kaiser Will
helm ii, is a young captain who has a
.prodigious talent for imitation.
Some months before the war this
captain found himself In a hall Of the
imperial palace at Potsdam. He was
there with others of his friends who
were officers, and began an imitation
Of the kaiser with extraordinary pre-
cision in tone, quality Of voice, ges-
ture and appearance. All at once there
was a terrible silence. Wilhelm II had
arrived in the hall. The officers sa-
luted respectfully and remained mo-
tionless.
Very we'll, go on" said the kaiser,
addressing the captain. Il did not
know you had this talent"
The officer hesitated a moment, then
extending his arm and reproducing
the intimation Of his sovereign, he cried
in a strong voice:
Captain, you should be chased out
of the army, but in consideration OF
your youth and because l know you
to be a worthy and brave soldier, I
pardon you"
The kaiser laughed and the captain
was not punished.

FORCES FOR GOOD.
Unpleasant Publicity Helps to Clean
Things Up.

AS the news unrolls daily before it's
readers, news Of war, Of greed, Of
lust, &c crime, Of industrial slavery,
of decadent self-indulgence, the i'm
preston must needs be made that
never was there a time when evil was
so widespread, so unchecked, so weed
like, so hopeless Of correction.
And yet, as a matter of fact, never
was there a time when so strong and
so many were the forces for good.
The apparent increase Of evils Of all
sorts is really due to an increase in
publicity. In an era Of greater pub
lie ignorance they were like a nest
Of c~ockroaches, unknown because hid
den by darkness. With darkness there
was also a certain amount Of indiffer-
ence to cleanliness, such as is apt to
ensue in any dim and sunless dwell
ing.
With the cutting Of new windows
comes light, and the vermin are seen
in all their nastiness, s%currying away
before the public knowledge or facing
it with ignorant bravado, according
to their kind.
And with new knowledge Of what
ills there are has come a widespread
desire to eradicate them. Women
particularly are filled with this new
gospel Of housekeeping first, and then
housekeeping permanently, the sur
%roundings in which they live.
There have been many false starts,
of course, many mistakes and much
waste motion. Many remedies have
been tried and found wanting. But
the forces for good are not dismay-
ed. Here a bit and there a bit they
gain, and with every gain which Is
proved to be a real and lasting one,
comes a new influx of public opinion
adding to the current in the right
direction.
Prisoners were, and still are, one of
the blots on the white nation. All
our methods of correction and So
called reform were absurd and futile
in the extreme. Latterly there are
efforts, here and there, to treat human

CONDITIONS IN MEXICO
Crime So Rampant that Murder
Minor Offense.

Urine 30 tnat Murder Is
Minor Ofense.
The Very Rev. Francis c. Kelly Of
Chicago, president of the Catholic
Church Extension society, discussed
Mexico and the American Church"
before an important gathering Of
clergymen at Pittsburgh, Pa, last
Sunday at the dedication of the synod
hall and %chancery building of the do
cese Of Pittsburgh.
DIR. Kelly said hat present day diff
ficultieS in Mexico were largely be-
cause of three serious questions: the
rights of the conscience, land and ed
ucation. Mexico, he said, had been
without anything like freedom of con-
science for over 80 years. Church
property had been confiscated to the
state by JuareZ and had never been
returned. Religious schools were clos
ed and orders of teachers disbanded.
No outward manifestation Of religion
was permitted, even distinctive dress
of clergymen being prohibited in the
streets. In the large cities, schools
were supplied by the state but out
side such communities. Mexico prac-
tically has no schools. The state has
never been able to supply them and
the church was not allowed to do SO.
The church has avoided interfer-
ence with political affairs" said DR..
Kelly "and churchmen are nOtOriouS-
ly timid wen about their own defense.
The church accepted JuareZ, DiaZ and
Madero. She will accept whatever le-
ultimate ruler comes out Of the pres
n chaos.
