Widow Who Came Here at
Loves Call. a Bride in
Zion Church.

Vera veiphart's ship Of romance
came into port. after a stormy and
eventful voyage, in the. cool quiet
of Zion Lutheran Church, Sixth
and P streets northwest, late yester-
day afternoon when she was mar
ried to Einar Mortensen by the Rev.
Richard Schmidt, pastor Of the
church.
For years her sweetheart, Nor
Jensen, who lives at Landover, Md,
called across the sea to Mrs. Vein
hart, a widow to come on over"
She came, and from Ellis Island
frantically telegraphed the man of
her heart that the immigration Of
ficials had refused her entrance.
Mortensen learned that the reason
for his intended wife's exclusion
was that she was born in Turkey,
although of German parentage, and
that the immigration quota from
Turkey was exhausted.
Mortensen, with the desperation
Of fear, went to the Department Of
Labor, and laid his case before
them. He showed the melting-pot
officials that Mrs. Veinhart was
German by BIRTH and that her last
address was Odda, Norway. It
wasn't her fault that she was born
in Turkey. .f
The Government saw the reason
in Mortensen's argument, and con-

By FAY. KING.

Back in the good old days when
L was q heavily opera laSsed gig
Cling matinee girl, usta go every
week to see the stock company
in our town in a change of bill.
Even to this day it seems to
me never see such gorgeous he
rOes and beautiful leading ladies
and villainOus villains as that
company had.
At any rate, I've never been so
carried away with eye-rOlling and
chest heaving as those heroes
pulled, and / have never Kissed
the home wrecl1er and riding
whip wielder in any shows since
as the one they had with the
shiny black mOustache and high
silk hat in those days.
/ uSta feel awful sorry for the
plump diInpIed little ingenue be.
cause she was really married to
!, the villain and they had a little
boy, and nothing could convince
me that his villain father didn't
beat him and abuse his mother.
IN fact, 1t always seemed q bit
Of mystery to me that the in
genue could look so plump and
chubby and happy being married
to such a villain. / remember
once when she played one Of the
two orphans she had to smear
lot of black on her cheeks to
look half starved and half dead,
which was very alright when
you got q full view of her face,
but when she turned half way
around the black didn't hide the
cOntented curve, which was de.
cidedly well fed.
ENVIED LEADING LADY.
The leading lady was married
to the leading man.
Gee! We all enVied her.
L thought it must be just too
grand to have him making rO-
mantle love every minute, and
fighting .duels with anybody that
might try to flirt with her.
The leading lady did look a Bit
wistful and had tears in her voice,
but knew that was being a
great actress. In fact / thought
1t must take a very great actress
indeed to look at the hero with
out any emotion and believe the
things the villain said about him,
and not once showing off to- the
N~ACA~O SAA"N SVu "CAO hA0AAACN
to him.
Well, it's been a long time
ago since those days, but yOM
can't expect me to tell you Just
how long because I'm still kid.
ding some guys Pm just Outta
college; but after all this time this
with some of that original cast
admired so much.
WERE STILL MARRIED.
The engenue married to the
illain called me up one day and
invited me to have dinner with
her and her husband.
i never ask any questions when
an actress mentions her husband.
You just take it for granted that
she means her current one.
And what do you think! She
has still got the same husband.
Yep, THAT villain. / could hardly
keep from kissing him when /
saw him again but when he
showed me snapshots of the little
boy who is now big enough to be
playing parts in a stock company
himself / burst into cheers in
stead.
They are the happiest little
family in the world. He is killing,
breaking up homes, killing right
full heirs, and lying to mountain
maidens--but it seems that out
side of business hours he's been
true to wife, and adOres his boy.
GETS ANOTHER SURPRISE.
And what do you think-thc
beautiful leading lady is in town
this minute, and came over to
see me, too.
SCENE the love lines i'm the
show were the only ones he ever
spoke to her.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Frisky Colt looked around curious
ly. He had been left all alone in
Squealy1Moo Land for the first time,
and he didn't like, it.
His mother had been driven off to
town by Mrs. Brown to do some
marketing, apd the other horses
were hauling in logs for the winter.
Frisky played with Crazy Calf for
while, but soon got tired and quit,
for Crazy's name should have been
Fraidy, for no matter what happen
ed he kept running to his mother and
telling tales.
So Frisky wandered around and
looked at everything with his great
curious eyes and thought what u
queer world it was.
ooh, shucks!" he though. II
guess I'll 60 over and watch the pigs.
Perhaps I'll get an idea"
So he trotted over on his long
legs to the place where the pigs
were, and stuck his long nose over
the fence.
AS usual; Twisty Tail and Piggy
Wig and Saucy Shout were discuss
ing things to eat.
Piggy Wig stuck up for sour milk
and Twisty Tail put in a good word
for sweet clover, but Saucy Shout
said that of all things in this fine
world he loved apples the best.
"Oh, my!" he sighed with loud
grunt. "If only wasn't so fat
could squeeze through that narrow
place in the fence and get into the
orchard. And I'd eat all the apples
on the ground"
"There! l knew I'd get an idea!'
nodded Frisky. "I'm tall and thin
and certainly can squeeze through
that opening. Funny T never
thought of it before! love apples.
too! I've tasted them several times.''
Off he trotted, and just as he en-
pected, he got through the opening
without mite of trouble. And the
ground was covered with windfall
apples, much to his delight.
So he started in to eat. And he
ate and he ate and he ate until he
thought he would burst.
"My goodness! he said suddnely,
"The suns going down and I'd oct
ter 60 home. And I'm thirsty, too!
Ill stop at the horse trough and
take a big drink"
All of which he did.
That night he started to swell.
And he kept on swelling till he
looked like barrel almost.
And such pain! Poor Frisky
whinnied until he woke Mister bod
ger and the Twins, asleep in their
corn-shock house in the corn field.
l don't know what they gave him.,
but whatever it was, it cured him.
One thing do know, however, Frisky
got good lecture and he won't touch
sweet apples and water again in a
hurry. Or anything else he doesn't
know about.

Not long ago Minnesota was

Next came the grain products OF

But now iron ore, wheat and

This evolution has been a lead
