Sullivan--Bell.

A very pleasant marriage took place
at the home of the officiating minister,
Rev. A, II. Schoenfeld, last Wednes-
day, Nov. %, 1916, when Lille, the
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
Sullivan Of Linden was united in sacred
wedlock to Roscoe Bell Of Mineral
Point. The attendants were Miss Lii
Ian Craze and John ID. Sullivan, broth
er of the bride, both of Linden. Mrs.
Jennie Granville of Calumet. Mich,
aunt of the groom, was also a welcome
guest on this occasion. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bell left for short wedding trip to
Madison other points. Upon their re-
turn they will be at home to their
friends in Mineral Point The subjects
of this notice are both pleasing young
people possessing all those qualities
and virtues that make for uprightness
in home and society. 1t is the sincere
wish Of all their friends that their mar
risgo ship may always be loaded with
health, JOY and prosperity. -- Dodge

New England chestnuts Doomed.

Our native chestnut tree, for I'LL its
long tenure of our hills and pastures,
Is officially reported as facing complete
extinction. Cut ut once and market
quickly" is the state forester's advice.
Unlike moth and borer, the bacterial
blight that is killing the chestnut trees
attacks with an infection as subtle as
the breath of pestilence. The dis
ease is working across the state from
west to east, as if with the prevailing
winds. 1t has already overrun five
counties and has established centers
through the rest AS one in every
six of our timber trees is chestnut
the commercial loss in many areas will
be severe. No more farmers will send
their boys and girls to college, winter
by winter, from the sale of ties and
planks ana posts from the rapidly
growing stands of straight chestnuts.
But the sentimental loss will entail
even more regret The chestnut tree,
like it's close cousin the beech and the
oak, has made its own place in our
rugged New England life. 1t enters
our stories and poems and iireslde talk
as olive and palm enter the legends
and songs of the Mediterranean. It's
furrowed bark and open branching &C
cord with our scenery and climate rs
the durability and bold figure of its
wood accord with the old-style virtues
of New Englanders themselyes.-Bos

How They Save.

Every - minutes somebody walks
into one of our four large savings
banks and opens new account.
That has been going on for weeks
months and years until now there are
over 100000 different accounts. The
average amount OF money kept IN bank
by each depositor is only little less
than $500
cur thrifty folk have the saving
habit Every minute of every day they
lay aside SIS TO put in the savings
banks. That may seem small sum
until you multiply the minutes int
hours, the hours into dAts. days into
months and months into year.
Then you have a tidy total of ST.
100000, which is 100000 more than
ii cost to run the whole United States

Good Opening Number.

The Smith-Spring Holmes Orchestral
Quintet opened the Mineral Point Ly-
ceum Course (under the auspices of
the First Congregational Brotherhood)
last Friday evening, the oath.
Their program consisted of ensemble
numbers, readings, solos, duets and
trios on trombone, cello, flute, violin,
cornet, saxaphones and basset horn.
Most of the selections rendered were
compositions of Messrs. Smith and
Holmes. members of the company, and
well known composers of the musical
world. Their duets were especially
good. Miss Alma Forsythe, violinist.
was favorite and displayed rare abil-
ity Everyone was more than pleased
with this opening entertainment, and
many thought it was well worth the
price of the season ticket.
Next number, Dec. 10, will be the
Bohemian Orchestra and the Italian
tenor, Bartolotta.

AT last my belated cavalier" she
tried to say viciously Il shall be
marble-and ice-quite!"
Footsteps crunched on the gravel
walk Her head was turned and she
gave no token of recognition or inter
est. The footsteps sounded on the
steps, and then"
MY dear Miss Rogers am indeed
unfortunatel"
A vivid reyulsion passed through her
frame. Instantly she recognized the
unwelcome voice IL was not that of
Paul Leslie. 1t was that of his antithe-
sis, Bryce Willard.
II there was one among her numer-
Gus suitors whom Grace despised it
was this oyerfastidious, self-conceited
individual. He was II man of wealth
and leisure. II had come to her ears
that he had boasted the Miss Rogers
was the nearest to his ideal of a lovely
girl and he had half a mind to settle
down and marry her" But this intelli.
gence was yapid. He had a suit of
clothes for each day in the week--on
the present occasion two, for he wore
an outing garb Of immaculate white,
even to the cap, gloves and shoes.
Il was on my lonely way to the func-
ton" he observed. coming nearer. Il
made out someone on the porch. May
| hope that | will have the company
OF a good angel for the rest of my
route"
You may spoke Grace. promptly
and deliberately thinking to herself
that her frame OF MIND at the present
moment was very far from being an
gelic Here was her opportunity to
teach that presumptuous Paul Les.
Ito" a severe lesson That he
would arrive later. profuse with
excuses. she doubted not. He should
find her gone. with Jaother, and
all that evening Willard should be at
her side while Paul-she would freeze
him with a look!
you see, don't know the exact way
TO the Walthams." explained Willard.

Neither do |, said Grace. and she
quite hurried him for fear that Pall
would put in an appearance before
they got started
And it's deucedly dark no moon

81 shall wait for Mr.. Leslie" spoke
Grace Rogers to her cousin.
We'll. don't lose your way II you
find he does not come"
"The ideal" flashed out dainty and
petite Grace. She ruffled at the thought
of any swain, foresworn or prospec-
tive. daring to place her in such pre-
dicament, and Paul Leslie was pro-
nouncedly Of the former class. They
were not engaged, but Of all the eligi-
BILE young men of the village he had
the most fully attracted her.
Paul had admired her from the first
so. More recently he had insisted that
they were made for one another, and
that he was gathering up the evidence
to prove it to her! She liked his
bright breezy ways.
Grace was on a two months visit to
her cousin, Norma Ellis. The pre-
scribed period had nearly passed. That
evening there was a party at villa
two miles away. Paul had promised to
call for her at seven O'Clock. She pre-
ferred to go on foot, she had told him.
Now she sat on the porch awaiting the
arrival of her expected escort.
The clock inside the house struck
seven, then the quarter Grace began
to grow impatient. Half past. A dainty
foot began to tap the porch floor faster
and faster She darted a look town
ward full of real temper. She sprang
to her feet quite angrily as the clock
announced that Paul Leslie was forty.
five minutes late.
How dare he!" she fiared out. ooh,
I could almost scratch him!"
Then she jumped back into her seat,
affecting in her pose the utmost indif-
ference to everything In the world
save tho most intense enjoyment OF
rest and the soft perfumed evening air.
She had seen a white-garbed mascu-
line form coming down the road.

individual and particular discovery. Il
know it's two miles We can hardly
miss it."
He ratified on in his empty-brained
way and Grace tried to keep up the
conversation. Half an hour later they
found they had wandered off from The
regular road and came up against a
barbed wire fence. the road having
faded away into mere footpath.
Il declare, | believe we are lost!
remarked Willard.
Grace was getting nervous. She sug-
gested that they retrace their steps.
They regained the road, branched of
into another one and halted again at q
crossroads.
Il know that we follow the Hub
bard road" said Willard. "but which Is
it? All, there is a telegraph pole with
a sign on It,"
The same was in clear evidence, but,
standing even only ten feet away from
1t, neither could make out the letter
ing on the sign.
"I'll have to climb up and see IL
can make 1t out at closer sight" OBJ
served willard I'm something OF
climber, Miss Rogers, believe me! At
the field sports last year l won in the
creased pole climb, 30 this fifteen or
twenty-foot stunt is nothing to me.
Pardon, for a moment"
Slowly the vaunted athlete ascend

watched him reach the sign. A certain
growl of disgust echoed on the still
air Mr.. Willard came sliding back to
terra firma.

against a convenient tree stump and
laughed. She could not help It, Her
