The pretty bride met BO many ladies at the reception given by her hus band's cousin to introduce her that it was impossible to keep up with them, and so when the hall boy telephoned up to know whether she was at home to Mrs. James or Miss Richards she always said she was, and took it for granted they were family friends. A Mrs. Martin was announced In this way, and little Mrs. Anderson re ceived the stranger with a cordial gayety and began to chat to her of teas and matinees. Mrs. Martin was a dismal person in rusty black and did not seem to respond to merriment. The bride racked her brain for conver sation and the guest eyed her with growing disfavor. Finally the out burst came when Mrs. Anderson said: "I met you at Mrs. Towne's recep tion, of course, didn't I? I find it so hard to connect names with faces, but I hope—" The visitor rose and broke in: "No, you did not meet me at any re ception, and I must say I am sur prised to find you like this. I've been In the busings off and on for twenty years, and I never saw one take it sc light as you do. I answer your note to call and talk over mourning for your husband's funeral, and you tell me about the theeavter last night" When the hrid% had sufficiently re covered from ber s\ock she took the note the other out.

Lord Says HI* Ccuntry Needs Im migration Restriction. Lord Brassey, accompanied by Lady Brassey and Capt. Parkingham. Inspected Ellis island recently and was the guest of Commissionei Watchorn at luncheon. Before leav ing the island Lord Brassey praised the system of the Immigration in spection. "I am turning to a study of the im migration question," he said. "This is because in my own coun try it has become necessary to study this question. England is in need of some kind of a restriction on the im migrants who are pouring in. We get the immigrants rejected by this country. Your count*-? gets the best stock, while the Inferior is admitted by us by one hand and fed and cared for by the other. This is becoming a serious drain on the national charity. "1 have stood for the policies of your country all my life, as far as they were adaptable to the lftig»«h people. I believe in the unity of English-speaking people, and shall always work to that end. I am also is believer in the laboring man and champion of his cause." They Were Not Married. There is a "woman of enterprise in A certain Lincolnshire village She found a bridegroom and determined to annex him. Then the marriage day dawned and the bride went to church. 8he waited long, and instead of the bridegroom came a cote, which said that he had just had a bill from the dressmaker for the wedtflng dress, and "if you are going to begin like this I am not going to marry you." The appropriate comment seems to be "Morb haste, less speed."—London Telegraph. Abandons His Title.

J. A. 6EBUS DIES FROM INJURIES Mao Whose Legs Were Cut Off by Soo Train Last Night is Dead Platform Was Piled High with Freight and Trunks. J. A. Gebus of Nealsville, Wis., stepped in froDt of train No. 105 just in front of the Soo depot about nine o'clock Wednesday evening and both legs were cut off. Tne man was taken at once to the hospital but he died this morning at a quarter to seven o'clock. Gebus was on his way Portal, near which place his brother, J. L. Gebus, resides. The man arrived in Minot Wednesday and telegraphed his brother at Portal that he was coming. When the brother re ceived the telegram he was given another telling of the fatal acci dent. The brother arrived in Minot this morning about an hour after the injured man passed away. The injured man was conscious until within a short time of his deBth. Jde was a man 23 years of ape. The remains will be shipped back to the old home in Wisconsin. Bystanders say that Gebus seemed bewildered when he stepped in front of the train and made an attempt to jump back. He fell between the rails and two men grabbed him but failed to get his body off in time to escape the deadly engine. The Soo platform was piled high with freight, trunks, etc., and it's more than likelv that this had something to do with the accident. The platform should be kept practically clear all of the time. Just a few min utes before the accident a little girl Ml off the platform under the wheels of a train which hap pened to be standing, so she was not injured. Public Auction Sale.
