Hankla will read a paper on "Work Being Aecom I plished by the Daughters in th West." 1 The romance of an elopment was 1 cruelly frustrated a short time ago. and instead of that stirring event to enliven the day's town news, there will be a wedding after the usual cut and dried fashion. It happened this way: A young man of the 100 or 125 dollar salary class suddenly began to devote himself pretty exclusively to a good looking Weet side girl. Every time he tet himself to considering the question of proposing marriage to her he got a vision of himself in evening dress nervously parading to the trains of Lohengrin, and his fortitude broke down in front of that prospect. Finally he did ask the girl to marry him, but he etayed nobly by her after her consent was given, in an effort to convert her to his no-show theory. He explained that he could not bring him self to making an exhibition of him self for a mass meeting of admiring friends on his wedding day. and that it would be much pleasanter all around if they could board a train for a neighboring town and have the agony over with at once, and then re turn and tell the "old folks" about it. She finally consented to his arrange ment, with what misgivings one can imagine when she conjured up visions of satin and lace and tulle, rented palms, flowers and music, craning necks and all the pomp and circum stance of glorious marriage right in the spotlight. The young man sailed home in a big bubble of air. Then he came to earth in time to figure up the cost of a runaway marriage and a housekeep ing establishment. He wrote down the items and the probable cost, and footed it up. The figures scared him half to death. He wadded up the paper and threw it on the bureau, where it remained until the next day, when his mother tidied up the room. She read it and calculated pretty ac curately what it meant. Then she took matters into her own hands, and gave an announcement to the news papers of the engagement. The wed ding will come off all right, but It will be strictly according to the rules laid down in the Ladies' Home Journal, and the low cost of weddings will lose an other champion.

All staples traded in on the Chicago board of trade showed something of an advance in prices at the opening today. Gains, however, were apparently not influ enced by election results, but were the result of ordinary trade Influences. Wheat started unchanged to c higher, with December at $1.85 to $1.85 H and May at Sl.86 to $1.87. The upward tendency was ascribed mainly to a decrease in the European visible supply and to unfavorable European crop advices.
