G. Montgomery and Japanese wedding at the frat house lit the evening. A certain charming young woman who has spent much time in Omaha visiting relatives during the last few years and whose engagement was only recently an nounced to the son of sa Omaha candy manufacturer has two obstreperous brothers-in-law who were much purturbed by the announcement of her engagement. The perturbation of one of them, however, was much greater than the event really called for, and thereby hangs a tale. The young woman In question was visit ing with the brother-in-law, who Uvea in Oklahoma,. The two men had playfully agreed that they being the sole owners of this debutante's future they would make a corporation of her and divide the share equally between them. They had consider able amusement out of the mock business transaction which they pulled off with numerous suitors and admirers of the girl. When the girl went to Oklahoma the fiance-to-be followed her and their troth was plighted In the south. When the Oklahoma brotner-4n-law heard of it he sent a wire to the Omaha brother-in-law reading thus: "Corporation in the hands of a receiver. O'Brien In charge. What shall we do with your stock?" The Omaha man on receiving this tele gram saw frantic visions of ruined busi ness. He owns a few banks in Oklahoma and while his wife, sister of tho corpora tion-owned girl, was going into hysterics he wired hack: "Can't understand your telegram. . Will meet you in Kansas City tomorrow." While he fumed around home getting ready to go Kansas City he received a sec end wire reading: "Don't come to Kansas City. Congratu lations are in order. (Signed) Joe and SMd." Then he tumbled and wired hack how pleased to dath ho was, not only because he liked the newly acquired brother-la-law-to-be. hut also because his pet banks were saved from imaginary destruction.

Miss Sandberf. who is tho daughter of Mr. J. A. Sandberg, and was a popular member of tho class of ' of tho high school, had her plans all mads ta attend OberUn college this month. Sh had even sent away some furnishings for her room there. So, of course, when sba invited some girl friends to take dinner with her Frt day evening they thought that It was a farewell party. Imagine their amasement when they learned that their hostess had given up tho college plane and was to be come a bride instead.
