ANNOUNCES ENGAGEMENT
Marriage to Mrs. Norman Gait of
Washington Will Take Place in De-

Marriage to Mrs. Norman Gait of
Washington Will Take Place in De-
cember.
Washington, October G.-Woodrow
Wilson, the President Of the United
States, announced tonight his engage
mcnt to Mrs. Norman Gait, OF Wash
inStcn. The date Of tho wedding has
not been fixed, but it probably will
take place in December at the home
of the bridc-clect
The brief announcement from the
White House, made by Secretary
Tumulty, came as a surprise to Off
cia Washington but to a number Of
intimate friends it long had been cx-
pcctcd. From this circle came tonight
the story of a friendship whose culmi-
nation was viewed as Il happy turn in
the troubled and lonely life of the ma
tons Chief Executive.
1t was Miss Margaret Wilson and
her cousin, Miss Helen Woodrow
Bones, who drew Mrs. Gait into the
White House circle. They met her in
the carly autumn Of last year and
were so much attracted by her that
they sought her out more and more
frequently. Mrs. Gait spent month
this summer at Cornish as a guest of
the Presidents eldest daughter. 1t
was through the intimacy OF his
daughter and cousin with Mrs Gait
that the President had an opportunity
to meet and know her. One of the
most interesting things about the en-
gamenet, indeed, as told by friends,
is that the Presidents daughters
chose Mrs. Gait for their admiration
and friendship before their father did
Native of Virginia.
Mrs. Gait is the widow of a we'll
known business man of Washington,
who died eight years ago, leaving a
jcwclry business that still bears his
name. She has lived in Washington
since her marriage in 1896. She is
about 3S years old and was Miss Edith
Boiling, born in Wytheville, Va, where
her girlhood was spent, and where
her father, William H. Boiling, was q
prominent lawyer
For many weeks Mrs. Gait and her
relatives have been frequent dinner
guests at the White House. Often she
has accompanied the President on mo-
tor rides. She is not quite as tall as
Mr.. Wilson. has dark hair and dark
eyes. Friends regard her as an un-
usual beauty. Her tastes are said to
be strikingly similar to those Of the
President. She is interested in ltcra-
ture and charity work.
Friends Of the President expressed
their pleasure over the announcement
tonight not only because Of Mr.. VIII
sons personal happiness, but because
they felt this new companioship would
give him support and comfort in his
homo life-a vital need during the
hours Of strain over the nations prob

Matron Gibbons is
Attacked by Woman
Armed With Hatpins

i've got notion to kill you?" de-
clared Mrs. John Wittenburg of Schuyler.
Neb., to Police MatrOn Gibbons in the
matrons quarters at the police station.
Whereupon she attacke the matron with
two hat pins and in the scuffle which
ensued Mrs. Gibbons was stabbed twice
in the left hand, and when Katy West,
who is serving q short term, decided to
take hand, she too was stabbed in the
back, shoulder and right arm
Mrs. Gibbons had noticed Mrs Witten-
burg ordering a large bill of goods at the
Eurgess-Nash store and her manner of
speech. with the glare in her eye, con-
WINGED the matron the woman was queer.
She called the patrol and Mrs. Witten-
burg was taken to the station. While
there she evinced no symptoms OF in
sanity and the police were preparing to
release her when she made her charge
at the matron.
Mrs. Wittenburg. who is a very power
full woman, had the matron backed up
in corner when the West girl took a
hand and attempted to save Mrs. Glib
bons. The police downstairs heard the
CCmmotion and Sergeant Samuelson and
officer Rooney hurried to the rescue in
time to quell the riotous Schuyler woman.

Petit Larcenists
Have a New Graft

MY little boy Just bought this medicine
here and the doctor says not TO use 1t.
He gave us some Of his own and I'd like
TO have my money back.
A woman holding in her hand bottle
of standard patent medicine was adj
dressing a clerk at the Unitt-Dooekal
Drug company.
How long ago?'' queried the clerk.
About two hours responded the
woman.
,pHe didn't buy it here as / have been
the only one on duty and 1 sold no such
clerk.
But he did" asserted the woman. Il
know he did"
How much did he pay for itT' asked
the clerk
Forty cents said the woman.
mot In this store" grinned the clerk.
"as 1t only costs 30 cents. Try 1t some
place else. You're about the sixth one
that has pulled that gag here"
Whereupon the woman beat nasty re-
treat.
That panhandlers and petit larcenists
are selling stolen patent medicines at
various drug stores and where they can't
sell it outright are trying the bbove
method is information received by the
police. Where they get the medicine is
a mystery as drug stores are not missing
IT from their stock. One man tried to
sell the Cleveland Drug company several
dollars worth of standard patent medi-
cines at a ridiculously low price. The
police are investigating and expect to
stop the newest graft shortly.
