Not a Fair Teat.
Ever since they came to school that
morning two of the boys had been
persistently naughty. A t last, there
fore, the teacher, now thoroughly ex
asperated, turned to them angrily, and
said that they must stay in during
playtime until each had written his
name 1000 times.
Playtim e duly came, and, as the rest
o f the class rose and hastened from
the room to enjoy a spell of freedom,
the two miscreants settled down to
their irksome imposition.
—
Five minutes later the teacher re
turned to see how they were getting
on, and found a heated argument in
progress.
"Come, come," she asked. "W hat's
the matter now?"
Whereupon one of the boys burst

Washington, D. C.— Woodrow W il
son, the President o f the
United
Statee, announced Thursday his en
gagement to Mrs. Norman Galt, of
Washington. The date o f the wedding
has not been fixed, but it probably w ill
take place in December at the home of
the bride-elect.
The b rief announcement from the
White House made by Secretary Tu
multy came as a surprise to official
Washington, but to several intimate
friends it has long been expected.
From this circle came the Btory o f a
friendship whose
culmination was
viewed as a happy turn in the troubled
and lonely life o f the nation’s chief
executive.
It was Miss M argaret Wilson and
her cousin. Miss Bones, who drew
Mrs. Galt into the W hite House. They
met her first in the early autumn of
last year and were bo much attracted
by her that they so’’ 2 ht her out more
and more frequently and the friendship
between them ripened into an affction-
ate intimacy.
Mrs. Galt spent a month this sum
mer at Cornish as the house guest of
the President's eldest daughter.
It
was through this intimacy of hhi
daughter and cousin that the President
had an opportunity to meet and know
Mrs. Galt. One of the most interest
ing facts about the engagement, in
deed, as told by friends, is that the
President’s daughters should have
chosen Mrs. Galt for their admiration
and friendship before their father did.
Mrs. Galt is the widow o f a widely
known business man o f Washington,
who died about eight years ago, leav
ing a jew elry business that still bears
his name. She has lived in Washing
ton since her marriage in 1896. She
is about 38 years old and was Miss
Edith Bolling, born in W ytheville,
Va., where her girlhood was spent and
where her father, W illiam H. Bolling,
was a prominent lawyer.
For many weeks Mrs. Galt and her
relatives have been frequent dinner
guestB at the W hite House. Often she
has accompanied the President on
motor rides. She is not quite as tall
as Mr. Wilson, has dark hair and dark
eyes and always is in stylish attire.
Her tastes are said to be strikingly
similar to those o f the President, with
a deep interest in literature and char
ity wok.

Portland— A stronger wheat market
in the East has increased the demand
in the Northwest for grain for Eastern
shipment, and buyers from that quar
ter who had been talking o f reselling
their purchases accordingly elevated
their views. The cash market in Chi
cago was from 7 to 12 cents above the
December option.
It is figured that
400 carloads o f wheat have
been
bought to date to go East, and the
local trade looks for a continuance of
the movement. Country business has
again decreased, as the Chicago ad
vance has made farmers firmer.
Bids at the Merhcants’ Exchange
were generally on a higher basis.
Offers for club were raised 1 to 1J
cents and red wheat bids were 1 to 2
cents higher. There was a 4-cent ad
vance in offers for November fo rty
fold and 2 } cents fo r the October de
livery. Spot bluestem was unchanged,
but November was raised 3 cents.
For the first tim e in weeks there
were bids for brewing barley at the
Exchange. Offers were made to buy
500-ton lota at $27, but sellers would
not consider this price.
Feed barley
was 60 cents higher at $25.60.
The
oats market was also firmer, with bids
raised 50 cents, the strength being due
to the advance in barley,

which, above ail others, plays upon

more than trifling.
