The Wedding Day and It's
Superstition

Y OTIS Of people in the world as
sumo an air Of naughty in
difference when the word "su-
perstition" arises, but there never
yet was a bride who had not at
least some passing belief in the ira
dition-worn superstitions of we'd
ding. Or why. then, are most mar
riages performed in June and No
vembsr? Because, says the old
chant:
Married in JanuAry's boar and time,
widow'd you'll be before your
prime.
Married in Febr'ys sleety weather,
life you'll tread in tune together.
Married when March winds shrill
and roar, your homeru be on for

skies. a checkered path before you
lies.

In a particularly attractive bed

now turns aside from the aIluring
and piQuant tlnts and looks with IA
vor upon those which are distingue
in effect and lovely in softness. And
there is no greater friend than the
fashionable paisley colors. The old
er who could not dream OF
green or red or yellow. or ever blue,
mny wear them all a~dorably when
they are woven into a paisley effect,
with that subdued richness which is
exquisite.
Know No Age.
True It is that all ages and all
types, can wear these figured ma
terials. But while youth clings more
often TO the brllliance and audacious-
ness Of the Persian and the newer
Arab and Egyptian designs and col
ors. the woman no longer young
finds a wonderful tonic in the typ
zeal paisley colors. which are as soft
ly distinctive as it is possible for a
fabric TO be.
Many OF them In tho radium and

Indeed, to keep in line with
Shakespeare's seven ages Of man.
one might think OF the three stages
of womankind. From IA. when many

which time, the Mankato baseball
team will meet the Faribault aggre-
CATION. The purse is S400. Faribault

The three members Of the COM
mittee went over with the president
the outlines of the addresses he has
prepared for his western trip and
studied those portions which might
have, a bearing upon the Minnesota
election. It had been suggested that
the President might send special
message to the voters OF Minnesota
but the impression was given after
the conference that he would con-
tent himself with directing certain
portions Of the fourteen addresses
he will make enroute to the Pacific
coast to the Minnesota electors.
Chairman Moses expects to 90 to

Pipestone Mimi, June 13.-Mys-
terry surrounds the finding of eight
large sticks of dynamite under the
floor Of the Methodist dining hall at
the county fair grounds here. The
dynamite was discovered by work
men who were engaged in moving
the building to make room for a
large concrete grand stand which is
in course of construction on the
grounds. Some believe that the
dynamite had been taken to the
grounds to be used in blowing UP
the structures there, but the au.
thorities are of the opinion that
yeggmen had hidden the dynamite
under the building and for some
reason had failed to return to get it,
Last fall numerous thefts of dyra-
mite from nearby quarries were re-
ported, it being claimed that the
yeggmen made from the dynamite
