THE AMERICUS WEEKLY
’PHONE COURTED;
BOX CAR WEDDING
Never Spoke Until Just
Before Ceremony.
Bozeman, Mont., Jan. 18.—Married
on Sunday to a man whom she had
seen for the first and only time on the
preceding Monday and to whom she
had never spoken a word face to (ace
until a few minutes before the wedding
is the record for Mrs. J. A. Traub.
the six intervening days the introduc
tion, tly) courtship, the proposal and
the acceptance were all managed over
the telephone and the wedding took
place in a St. Paul road box car.
It was indirectly a result of the re
cent blizzard and snow storm which
tied up all train service in Montana,
for had the trains not been delayed the
present happy husband probably would
not have been at the station pounding
a telegraph key, where Miss Julia
Winslow of Livingston saw him.
Traub, who is a train dispatcher cf
the Gallatan Valley Railroad, was seat
ed at his key in the depot when Miss
Winslow entered. As soon as she had
departed Traub began to Inquire who
she was and through his influence with
the Camp Creek agent procured an in
troduction over the railroad telephone,
which during the next few days car
ried a good deal of unofficial business.
Last iSunday was the train dispatch
er’s day off. He had found, however,
time enough on Saturday to get a mar
riage license. There are no trains to
Camp Creek on Sunday so he took the
early morning train on the Northern
Pacific to the nearest town, routed out
the minister before daylight and with
the minister and a friend drove over
to Camp Creek station, where the
agent had his home and office housed
in a single box car.
Twenty minutes was time enough for
the pair to make each other's direct
acquaintance and to be married.

Savannah, Ga», January 18r—‘Mr. and
Mrs. Willard T. Smith who were mor-
rled here on a dare left yesterday for
Baltimore, which is to be their home.
Mrs. Smith, who was Miss Polly
Blanc, manicurist at the Pulaski ho

til early last week, when the gentle-
came to Savannah as a commer
cial traveler.
The couple became very friendly and
Mr. Smith dared Miss Bianc to mar
ry him. She said she had never taken
a dare in her life and that it was’ too
late for her to begin.
Smith went away, presumably to
get a license, but his nerve failed
him, and he came back empty-handed.
Then Miss Blanc chided him about
taking a dare, and the drummer went
aw’ay and came back soon with a li
cense in his possession. The mani
curist came right up to the scratch
and the two went off to seek a minis

First Presbyterian church, was found

“I have Just returned from

miles, and am more convinced than
ever that Americus is the best town
in the United States in which to re

Hotel Windsor, as he came in yes

trip through the golden west. His
itinerary took him to Chicago direcr,
and thence across the continent to
the Pacific coast, visiting many points
of interest en route. In eastern Col

housekeeper was told that she could
remedy the monotony of her home life
by rearranging the furniture.
Ye gods! Think of being told
move furniture about as a cure for the
monotony of existence. One might im
agine the inmates of a lunatic asylum
engaged in some such occupation. But
to advise a person with brains to put
the piano here instead of there and the
sofa there instead of here, in order to
give spice to life, is sarcasm that is
cruelty.
Yet it was done in all seriousness.
And advice on a par with this is being
handed out constantly' to housekeepers
in regard to the problems they face. It
shows better than anything else the
status of the housekeeper and house
keeping In the general mind. A few
thinking people recognize the import
ance of housekeeping and the real and
varied abilities required to perform its
many duties properly. But the masa
still look on it as a work that can be
done instinctively and upon those who
do it as still being mentally a child and
diverted with childish things.
While this opinion of housekeeping
prevails generally little can be done to
secure intelligent help In it. People of
brains and education think it not
worthy of their powers and pass it up
for something else. But it is worthy
of their powers, as those w’ho know
anything about it are aware. It is an
exact and interesting science. It re
quires a knowledge of chemistry, fin
ancial ability, executive power. ;t
taxes all a woman’s capacities to the
utmost to be a good housekeeper, and
it should be recognized as a profession
worthy of honor.
That it is monotonous Is true. So is
the w’ork of a salesgirl a stenographer,
a bookkeeper. But the monotony of
housework presses hard, because it is
to a large extent done^lone. The sales-

The president made it plain to visit
ors recently that he does not believe
the decisions, if adverse to the corpo
rations, will have any depressing ef
fect on business conditions. None ot
the many bankers who have called on
him recently in regard to new. curren
cy legislation has given him any such
warning.
lit is understood that from his own
wide knowledge of the law’ and
own experience on the bench, Presi
dent Taft fully expects the cases now
tending to be decided in favor of the
tovernment. It was stated to the pres-
1 — dent yesterday that John D. Rock-
feller had asserted that there were
*ver 1,000 corporations doing business
>n the same lines as the Standard Oil
Company, and that if the court should
ender a decision adverse to the oil
rust all these companies would like-
Ise would have to be dissolved.
The president did not take this ro-
>rt seriously. Each case will have
o be decided on its own merits. There
ill be no attempt to give decisions

nment, the department of Justice
ill proceed Just as it has been pro

cted no development from the d

would have been among Its very last
survivors. The new legislature of
West Virginia will elect a Democrat
as his successor as well as the succes
sor of his colleague, Mr. Scott, an ad
ditional and unexpected gain for the
Democrats In the upper house of Con
gress. The Republicans senators
whose terms will expire on March 4th,
and whose succession by Democrats
Is already assured, are Beveridge, of
Indiana; Hale, of Maine; Warner, of
Missouri; Carter, of Montana; Bur

of Ohio, while Plies, of Washington,
and Burrows, of Michigan, were de

Insurgents.
Other Republican senators whose
terms expire with this Congress

who will not return; Bulkeley, of Con

Flint, of California, who Is also re

senators whose terms expire all will

A year ago the Senate was made up

By the Act of Congress the ship

hend, In the absence of this provision,
how helpless would be a shipper here
If he should attempt to ship his pro-
dacta '? 'f 10 Pacific coast, and they
should be Injured, or lost, for Instance,
on the Oregon Short Line. The rall-
roads have every facility for deriving
all the Information In regard to the
claim. They dally settle and determ-
ine thousands of claims between them*
selves. Where there is a controversy
between a single Individual and many
corporations, with such power and
such opportunities, how hopeless is
he who is compelled to go to a foreign
jurisdiction, when the railroad fare
there might more than offset his
profits.
Congress has acted wisely. It has
brought the courts to the door of the
shipper. It has bent a listening ear
and heard his complaints. He Is af
forded the necessary protection of the
law, a speedy and cheap trial.
'To my mind It Is amazing that _
government bad so long failed to en
act this law. I differ toto coelo with
my gifted friend, Judge Lamar, and
must overrule the demurrer."
Judge Lamar, now a Justice of the
Supreme Court, represented the rail
roads In the bearing of the case out
of which this opinion arose and
tacked the constitutionality of
Carmack Act. The right of shippers to
claim damages from the Initial car
rier Is now protected by the highest
tribunal of the land.
it Is the right of thc people to get rl
ot them as traltcrs to their trust.'
We are Inclined to believe that Jus

unmistakable English to conduct that
Is clearly criminal. In recent years
the terms graft, grafter and grafting
have acquired a significance less In

because they Imply a political smart
ness which In the minds of some peo
ple smooths over the offense commit
ted. The grafters themselves smile
over the terms and find much aatlsfac
lion in the thought that they possess
high degree of thrift and shrewdness.
But when these grafting officials are
called thieves and their acts thefts the
smiles vanish because such plain
