The Appeal

The Modern Business Life. He had returned from his two weeks' off looking much the better for it, and as he entered the store the proprietor advanced and shook hands with him and gave him a warm welcome. The bookkeeper was puzzled and put out, but only for a moment. Then the proprietor explained: "James, we have had an expert on your books during your absence." "Yes, sir." "He has discovered that you have embezzled $350,000 from us during the last two years." "But, sir—" "Don't deny it, James. Figures won't ll.e Yes, you have embezzled $350,000—" "But I—I—" "and I am glad to see you back. We happen to be hard up at present, and if you could lend us $25,000 we'd take it as a great favor, and remember it the first of the year. There's a check, James, and please fill it out and go on with your work as usual. Glad you had a good time, and I hope it won't inconvenience you in the least to pull us out of the hole. That's all, and thank you very much." Had Them All Beaten. The nine-year-old daughter of well-to-do Towanda parents recently had an elaborate celebration of her birthday anniversary, and invited all her sister pupils in the Sunday school class to which she belonged, says the Philadelphia Press. Among the number was a bright little girl whose family was famously poor, and who for that reason was not treated as a social equal by other children of her age. But she looked so pretty in her new frock, in spite of the patent cheapness of the material, that she won the admiration and attention of the adults present. The other little girls, envious, determined to shame her, and, calling her into the group, began talking about the various nice things in their homes. When they had finished the enumeration, one said: "Now, Mary, tell us what nice things you have in your house." "Well, papa is not rich, you know," answered Mary; "so, we don't have a whole lot. But we've got something none of you has, I'll bet." "What's that, Mary?" came in eager chorus. "Why, we've got a skunk out under the barn with five little-ones!" --- Wonderful New England Dialect. The professor of Latin in a New England school has, until within six months, claimed that stories of New England dialect were absurdly exaggerated; but a few months ago a living refutation of his views arrived in the person of a New Hampshire maiden of stern aspect who had been engaged for general housework, says the Youth's Companion. The professor's study is a good-sized room, and as he is fond of plenty of air, he finds three windows and a door no more than sufficient to provide a current. When the new handmaiden had been in the family a week she passed through the hall one cool morning and stopped at the door of the study. "Do you wish anything?" asked the professor, roused by a dry cough from the doorway. "Well, I don't want to be forthputting," said the New Hampshire maiden in a firm but pleasant tone, "but it does seem as if you were setting in a complete draught.

An employee of one of the city departments spent a recent fortnight's vacation at an up-to-date river town, says the Philadelphia Times. He is famous in his way all over city hall as a man who is ever in a hurry; he rushes to work, to lunch, from one room to another, leaves in haste at 3 o'clock every afternoon, and always seems hard pushed for time. During his vacation he wanted to make a short trip by water on the steamer that touched twice a day where he was stopping. Rushing to the wharf he saw the boat moving slowly a few feet away. Determined not to miss the trip, he leaped, cleared the distance, knocked down a woman and little boy standing on deck, and careened violently into the captain, who roared: "What in the devil's the matter with you?" "I—just—wanted—to—catch—the boat," gaspingly explained the hurry-up man. "The boat is not leaving, you fool!" roared the skipper, "she's just comin' in!" --- Appreciated Joke on Himself. Judge James Todd, Owen county's celebrated wit, was in Covington recently, and as usual he had a new story to tell.

The prospect of a dinner will generally keep a hungry man awake. But the victim of absent-mindedness seems at times unable to distinguish between what to eat and what to leave. This was the case with the man who went into a London restaurant, called for a newspaper, and only when roused, from his reading by a waiter ordered coffee and a hair sandwich. The waiter executed the order, and deposited with the homely fare a large pasteboard check. The absent-minded one went on reading his paper. Some quarter of an hour after, the waiter returned. "Anything more, sir?" he said. "Yes," snapped the man, "get me a fresh sandwich, the one you brought me was dry as a bone." The waiter looked down and gaped. "Lor!" he exclaimed, "here's the sandwich I brought you! You've eaten the check!" THE SHIP An ocean hotel, built in the style of the Spanish galleons of the fifteenth century, is one of the latest additions planned for the City of Venice, a new resort that has been opened on the California coast, and both in appearance and intention it will be unique. The high, square, stern and bulging bow, the tapering masts with their quaint and clumsy skins, the decks and outward appointments all will be faithful reproductions of the ships of the crossroads of Atlantic discovery. Inside the vessel will be fitted up with all the luxurious appointments of a modern Atlantic liner. She is to be called the Cabrillo, in honor of the discoverer of the Pacific, and it will be a strange case of the OLD MEN OF FAMOUS NAME. Authors Who Were Productive After Three Scores and Ten The tail, handsome myrlandminded Goethe wrote at his tasks till he was nearly 83 years old. He produced the first part of his masterpiece, "Faust," at 57, says the Saturday Evening Post, the second part when 80 years old and wrote some of his most beautiful poems at 75. Six of our foremost American poets—and all but one in quantity as well as in quality of verse—Bryant, Whittier, Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes and Emerson—lived to ages varying from 75 to 85, and were productive to the last. Dr. Holmes wrote in his eighty-fifth year that "time does not permit the scythe as with the sandbag," yet he wrote brilliant verse for special occasions almost to the end. Theodore Mommsen, the historian, a man of almost insignificant stature and emaciated frame, manifested in his eighty-sixth and last year the energy of a man in middle life. The earl of Dundonald, though he was always in hot water and his whole life was a series of quarrels—though he performed some of the most daredevil feats recorded in the history of naval warfare, winning many brilliant victories against enormous odds—lived to 85 and wrote his history of the liberation of Peru, Chile and Brazil and "The Autobiography of Sea Man," which, in lieu of writing works, under the stress of intense physical pain, in the last three years of his life. Sir Charles James Napier, the hero of Scinde, was 60 before he held any great command. He fought and won great battles, governed successfully great provinces and achieved a great FIRST ORGAN --- FIRST ORGAN SET UP IN THIS COUNTRY Brattle Organ, Oldest in America. St. John's Episcopal Church, Portsmouth, N. H. The first organ brought to America is at Portsmouth in the Episcopal chapel, on State street. It is the old Brattle organ, so-called, made by John Presson of York, England, in 1709 or 1710, and first set up in the house of Thomas-Brattle, Cambridge, Mass, he having imported it. At the time of importation great prejudice existed against the use of musical instruments in religious services. Nevertheless, the organ was later installed in King's chapel, Boston, and there was used until 1756. It was then sold to St. Paul's church of Newburyport. Rev. Dr. Burroughs bought the organ for 1450 in 1836, and placed it in the chapel at Portsmouth, when still remains. In December, 1901, it was taken apart and sent to Boston to be exhibited at the historical musical instrument show, which opened Jan. 1902 in Horticultural hall.

You're a likely sort of man and you could live well if you were a philosopher, keep a steady job instead of drinking bad whiskey and keeping yourself behind the bars half the time." He Knew the Train. A traveler went into a Union avenue barber shop one morning to get a shine and decided to inquire about his train. "Say," he said, addressing the negro bootback, "what time does the Missouri Pacific leave for St. Louis this morning?" "Yoh mean the one that makes the daylight run?" queried the negro, "Yes, that's the one," the said man. "It ah the train that connect's the one from Leavenswuth, ait' it?" asked the bootback as he brushed away. "Yes." "Runs ru Nuwahbushg!" "Yes." "An' Jefashion City?" "Yes." Ah knows the train yoh mow "Oh, so the ocean or er' thrd track, doon' it!" "I think it does." "Change engines—. Le's see. What do that train change engines?" "I don't know," came from the man. "What I want to know is its leaving time." "Ah knows jes' whatyo wants, an Ah knows jes' 'xactly what train yah means." "Well, when does it leave?" "Oh, yes, when do it leave? Ah suh's ahdoan do know 'bout that boss," was the negro's reply—Kansas City Times. "Goodness me, boss," replied Solomon, "I makes more money doing this way. Now, you see, it's like this. When I works hard I makes $$ a month and my board and when I gets arrested the magistrate says to me that it will be $10 or thirty days. Now, according to that, how kin I afford to work for $$ a month when I'm worth $2 more a month in the juju?" To Teach Deaf-Mute Boys Very heartily welcomed, the Brothers of St. Gabriel's institute, famous for their success in the education of deaf-mute boys, has settled at Bea conselfound House, near Plymouth, England, on their expulsion from France under the associations law. They are about to commence there the education of the deaf-mute boys irrespective of creed.

The most common of a pure or genuine article for pecanmilk is grown in a particular that a general fear of results is preeminent. Nearly all women guard themselves as much as possible from the threat that their stomach acid which has been thus treated. The adulteration of nuts is probably the most largely practiced adulteration. This is commonly done by the addition of water have been drilled from the mother's oophora. Burial of oophora and oophora seeds often adds and in the year that the oophora seeds are mature the oophora is removed. In recent years children play with the oophora seeds and are adulterated but it was so scandal in 1890 and abroad that special means were taken to keep spurions from the from the matter. The spurions were reintroduced and resold although adulterated so far as the snowy worm was consumed. The adulterations practiced by the Chinese are safe to be numerous. Exhausted tea is redried and flaked in a very deceptive manner. Millions of pounds of leaves, other than those of the tea plant, are gathered and mixed with the pure product. Mineral matter in the form of china clay, fine sand and iron filings are ingrangibly incorporated with the leaf before drying so that as much as from twenty to forty per cent are incorporated. Cocoa is adulterated with mineral matter, such as oxide of iron, to give color. Cocoa and lard are often adulterated, interior fats, salts and farina being added. Glucose, saccharum and so-called British sugar, are adulterants of sugar. Drugs and pernicious ingredients are mixed with ale and porter and every whisky drinker well knows he has in his time, imbued many a plug of tobacco in a liquid state, the tobacco being used to impart the proper eating. Tobacco and snuff are adulterated with sugar, honey, molasses, treacle, leaves, barbs, or plants, powdered wood, moss, weeds, sea-weeds or any ground or underground roasted grain, chickory, lime, sand, cherry or other earths. Tobacco may also be adulterated with aloes, liquorice, gum, catechu, oil and lamp-black, alum, tannic acid and iron, log-wood, and such leaves as snubb, chickory, cabbage, barked, coles-foot and excess of salt and water. The adulteration of drugs is a matter of common parlance and one so broad as to taboo a consideration. Thus one might proceed down the curriculum of "things to eat" for scarce an article is made but that suffers from man's dishonesty and grasping. And still we wonder at protesting stomachs and dyspepsia. There isn't must philosophy nowadays in burning midnight oil when you can marry the money! Time was when a bright young man had to toll strenuously and fly fervently to acquire position and affluence. If he forgot to toll or hope his light went out and he drove a street car ever afterwards. It's different now. The woods are full of em! Turn to any of your enterprising papers and see opportunity bribling like a porcupine at bay! Women, women, everywhere, and all of them have money to throw at the waiters! Here is one who advertises she is beautiful. Think of that! And she has lucure enough to hallast a stoneboat. Her abundant, undulating hair envelopes her. Her waist is as supple as a willow. Her vage is as the satin of flowers! Could she but meet a gracious lord, kindly, intelligent, well educated and of good taste, she could unite herself with him for life, "and later share with him the pleasure of being laid to rest eternal in a tomb of pink marble!" Wow! but that makes your heart tester! You never felt so kindly in all your life. You could love the whole world just for that supple, undulating, satin-finished bundle of femininity. One wonders where these beautiful creatures not all their money and why the town fellows where they live are so confoundedly backward. It must be rather embarrassing to be "wondrous fair," rich as Midas, have undulating hair and yet go aching through this world longing to be loved! There is only one location we can imagine—to go the same route and not have beauty, wealth and undulating hair. Alas! All is not gold that glitters. By the way, do you suppose that hair is her own? --- Speculation as to the oldest joke is ended when the photographer is consulted. This factum takes a solemn oath that the most ancient and shopworn jest is that suggested by the funny individual who comes to have a picture taken and "just knows he will break the glass." Authorities say this quirk is more medieval than the mother-in-law quip and that its endurance is pure bone and sinnew. The joke statistician goes further and alleges that no person born to this world of trouble and grocery has ever had a picture taken. The photographer without having sinned, at least once, by a repetition of this thread-bare sally at the expense of the photographer—that is, provided, of course, the individual has ever had a picture taken. Not even Napoleon Sarony, the deceased American photographer, said to have the pictures of more American and European celebrities than any shadow-catcher who ever developed a negative, escaped. It is claimed he found the same original predilection for cracking this joke in the notables as in the holl poli. So be it! Let it be decided, to avoid argument, that the photographer who ever stumbled on his firm stent and to believe that he was "jolly" jolly, exant, and not do judge him harshly, next time you have your physiognomy preserved on albumen paper, because he refuses to smile at the moldy reference to the strength of his camera-glass. ```markdown ``` Artemus Ward in exhibiting one of his pictures, that of the plains between Virginia City and Salt Lake City, says in New York the audience went wild and clamored again and again for the artist—and when he appeared they threw brick-bats at him! Last 'winter with coal at $0 a ton and snow heaped everywhere when Jack Frost was playfully painting inimitable beauties we were too chilly to appreciate, we dreamed of summer and petulantly remarked on the frigidity of Bores' reign. Now we are diligently engaged in throwing verbal brick-bats at the weather man for drying all the moisture from our bodies and sweating us like criminals in the perspiration-box. True it is that things are never just exactly managed to suit us. The philosophical perspire in silence and live long; the railers sweat in Ilborne martyrdom and grow old prematurely. The fat yearners to be thim and is disappointed when the attenuated fellow tells him he, too, is like furnace. The pessimist knows we will all starve this winter, and the optimist sees a cloud no bigger than a man's hand in the heavens which promises rains. The individual who endeavors quietly to keep his mental faculties at a normal stage and refuses to "see things" is as usual eminently sensible. We are here and so is the heat. Like two families in the same house, we will have to do the best we can to keep cool. ```markdown ``` A farmer "up north" gave his note for $20 for a tin rooster. The rooster was made for a weather indicator. Six hours before a storm chanticleer was warranted to turn a deep red color. The farmer in the hay field, with tons of hay on the ground would, by consulting the rooster, know when to hurry it into the barn out of the wet. The farmer's wife would have ample time to get the little chicks inside the coop and have leisure moments left in which to "shoo" the turkeyettes under the barn. Unfortunately the rooster failed to assume color even fifteen minutes before a storm and the farmer posted to town mad as a horn. He discovered that the rooster-man had gone but in his stead he found a raised note at the bank for $200. It is not to be wondered at that a farmer will occasionally go wrong on documents, but he has always had great faith in rosters, pigs, cows, etc. Verily the confidence man assumeth new trickery. ```markdown ``` A politician who failed to make good in the grab-bag, once said, "God help the people!" We are about ready to attach our affidavit in a postscript to this burst of confidence. In this land of substitution, adulteration and something just-as good, things have come to a pretty pass when everybody is suspicious of everyone else! An unprotected housewife cannot buy a yellow-legged spring chicken for the minister's dinner and be safely assured that when a boy he has not eaten the grandchild of that same hen. There will never be an absolute Utopia in this country until a young bachelor can buy a pair of variegated socks on Saturday night and secure with them a truthful warranty that the big toe on the forward foot will not break through the end thereof before the following Sunday evening. No young man may be confidently expected to use ordinary precaution about matrimonial entanglements when, with a girl handy, his big toe is crying out for a female who can darn socks!

To board her visitors will walk along the wide pleasure pier that already has been built, and from it a wide gangway with handrails on both sides will lead to her main deck. This will be given up to a large and handsomely furnished saloon, a spacious dining room and suites of apartments provided with every conveni-ence that can be found in a hotel on shore. Here also will be the kitchen—a chef's home far different from the galley that any old Spanish ship know. A grand staircase will lead down to the lower decks, where a large number of bedrooms, arranged like cabins, will be provided. There will be more cabins on the upper deck, and an attractive drawing room for ladies, while promenades will be laid out on the forecastle, the deck house and the poo deck. Provision will be made for dancing and pleasure parties and for concerts and theatrical entertainments. To keep up the illusion of old Spain among it all the manager of the Cabrillo, with all his assistants, cabin boys and waiters, will be dressed in full Spanish uniform, glittering with glit and epaulets. An ocean hotel, built in the style of the Spanish galleons of the fifteenth century, is one of the latest additions planned for the City of Venice, a new resort that has been opened on the California coast, and both in appearance and intention it will be unique. The high, square, stern and bulging bow, the tapering masts with their quaint and clumsy sails, the decks and outward appointments all will be faithful reproductions of the ships that first crossed the Atlantic and discovered America. Inside the vessel will be fitted up with all the luxurious appointments of a modern Atlantic liner. She is to be called the Cabrillo, in honor of the discoverer of the Pacific, and it will be a strange case of the OLD MEN OF FAMOUS NAME. name long after that period of life had passed when, according to an antique morality not quite exploded, it behooves a man to lay aside the things of the present life and to prepare his soul for the next. Authors Who Were Productive After Three Score and Ten The tail, handsome, my mind-minded Goethe wrought at his tasks till he was nearly 83 years old. He produced the first part of his masterpiece, "Faust," at 57, says the Saturday Evening Post, the second part when 80 years old and wrote some of his most beautiful poems at 75. Six of our foremost American poets—and all but one in quantity as well as in quality of verse—Bryant, Whittier, Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes and Emerson—lived to ages varying from 75 to 85, and were productive to the last. Dr. Holmes wrote in his eighty-fifth year that "time does not threaten the old man so often with the scythe as with the sandbag," yet he wrote brilliant verse for special occasions almost to the end. A traveler went into a Union avenue barber shop one morning to get a shine and decided to inquire about his train. "Say," he said, addressing the negro bootblack, "what time does the Missouri Pacific leave for St. Louis this morning?" "Yoh mean the one that makes the daylight run?" queried the negro "Yes, that's the one," said the man. "It ah the train that connecs wif the one from Leavenswuth, ain't it?" asked the bootlook as he brushed away. "Yes." "Runs fru Waunhsw弯'b"? "Yes." "An' Jeffson City" "Yes." "Ah knows the train yoh means, all right. Stan's on the second' er thud track, daoon' it?" "I think it does." "Changes engines— Le's see, What do that train change engines?" "I don't know," came from the man. "What I want to know is its leaving time." "Ah knows jes' what yoh wants, an Ah knows jes' xactly what train yah means." "Well, when does it leave?" "Oh, yes, when do it leave? Ah's suah dao' know' bout that boss," was the negro's reply.—Kansas City Times. Theodore Mommsen, the historian, a man of almost insignificant stature and emaciated frame, manifested in his eighty-sixth and last year the energy of a man in middle life. The earl of Dundonald, though he was always in hot water and his whole life was a series of quarrels—though he performed some of the most dared-devil feats recorded in the history of naval warfare, winning many brilliant victories against enormous odds—to 85 and wrote his history of the liberation of Peru, Chile and Brazil and "The Autobiography of a Seaman." two most vigorous, lucid and dashing works, under the stress of intense physical pain, in the last three years of his life. A sidelight on Chinese immigration or importation into South Africa is cast by the following remark in the South African Press-Bulletin: "Quarrels and fights with drawn knives between Kaffirs and Chinese are of almost daily occurrence in Market square. Johannesburg." Sir Charles James Napier, the hero of Scinde, was 60 before he held any great command. He fought and won great battles, governed successfully great provinces and achieved a great FIRST ORGAN SET FIRST ORGAN SET UP IN THIS COUNTRY Brattle Organ, Oldest in America. St. John's Episcopal Church, Portsmouth, N. H. The first organ brought to America is at Portsmouth in the Episcopal chapel, on State street. prejudice existed against the use of musical instruments in religious services. Nevertheless, the organ was later installed in King's chapel, Boston, and there was used until 1756. It was then sold to St. Paul's church It is the old Brattle organ, so-called, made by John Preston of York, England, in 1709 or 1710, and first set up in the house of Thomas-Brattle, Cambridge, Mass, he having imported it. At the time of importation, great Rev. Dr. Burroughs bought the organ for $450 in 1836, and placed it Def shore. Here also will be the kitchen—a chef's home far different from the galley that any old Spanish ship know. A grand staircase will lead down to the lower decks, where a large number of bedrooms, arranged like cabins, will be provided. There will be more cabins on the upper deck, and an attractive drawing room for ladles, while promenades will be laid out on the forecastle, the deck house and the poo deck.

Old Solomon Finds He Is Worth More "in the Jug." "You may talk about the philosophy of Socrates, 'or Tom Watson, or any other of the wise men of the world, but there is an old colored man down in my state who has them all beaten to a fare-you-well," said Thomas P. Scott of Rome, Ga., according to the Washington Post. "Old Solomon—his name is Solomon—is always in trouble. 'Solomon,' I said, 'why don't you try to do better? You're a likely sort of man and you could live well if you could only behave yourself and keep a steady job instead of drinking bad whisky and keeping yourself behind the bars half the time." “Goodness me, boss,” replied Solomon, “I makes more money doing this way. Now, you see, it's like this. When I works hard I makes $8 a month and my board and when I gets arrested the magistrate says to me that it will be $10 or thirty days. Now, according to that, how kin I afford to work for $8 a month when I'm worth $2 more a month in the jug?” To Teach Deaf-Mute Boys Very heartily welcomed, the Brothers of St. Gabriel's institute, famous for their success in the education of deaf-mute boys, has settled at Beaconsfield House, near Plymouth, England, on their expulsion from France under the associations law. They are about to commence there the education of the deaf-mute boys irrespective of creed. Smallpox in France: In 1903 smallpox occurred in fifty departments of France out of seventy seven from which returns were received. in the chapel at Portsmouth, where it still remains. In December, 1901, it was taken apart and sent to Boston to be exhibited at the historical musical instrument show, which opened Jan. 11, 1902, in Horticultural hall. Before it was returned it was put in thorough repair. He Knew the Train. Kaffirs Object to Chinese Defective Page One of the greatest evils of to-day is adulteration. The act of debasing a pure or genuine article for pecuniary benefit has grown so practiced that a general fear of results is prevalent. Careful men and women guard themselves as much as possible from taking into their stomachs food which has been thus treated. The adulteration of milk is probably the most largely practiced adulteration. This is commonly done by the addition of water, coffee has, from early times, been the subject of sophistication. Burnt, scorched or roasted pean, beans or other grains were added and in the year 1225 special attention was paid to prohibiting the error. In recent years chickery and other grains have been added to the former imitations. It would seem that tea could not be easily adulterated but it was so treated in 1870 and about that period, especial means were taken to keep spurious tea from the market. The dregs were redried and resold although exhausted so far as the aromatic flavor was concerned. The adulterations practiced by the Chinese are said to be numerous. Exhausted tea is redried and glazed in a very deceptive manner. Millions of pounds of leaves, other than those of the tea plant, are gathered and mixed with the pure product. Mineral matter in the form of china clay, fine sand and iron filling, are ingeniously incorporated with the leaf before drying so that as much as from twenty to forty per cent are incorporated. Cocoa is adulterated with mineral matters, such as oxide of iron, to give color. Butter and lard are often adulterated, inferior fats, salts and farina being used. Glucose, saccharum and so-called British sugar, are adulterants of sugar. Flour or other farinaceous matter is used in adulterating mustard. Pepper is undoubtedly the most adulterated article on the market. In some cases the article does not contain a trace of pepper but is made up of gypseum, mustard husk and a little starch. Drugs and pernicious ingredients are mixed with ale and porter and every whisky drinker well knows he has, in his time, imbued many a plug of tobacco in a liquid state, the tobacco being used to impart the proper sting. Tobacco and snuff are adulterated with sugar, honey, molasses, treacle, leaves, herbs, or plants, powdered wood, moss, weeds, sea-weeds or any ground or unground roasted grain, chickory, lime, sand, ochre or other earths. Tobacco may also be adulterated with aloes, liquorice, gum, catechu, oil and lamp-black, alum, tannic acid and iron, log-wood, and such leaves as rhubarb, chickory, cabbage, burdock, colts-foot and excess of salt and water. The adulteration of drugs is a matter of common parlance and one so broad as to taboo a consideration. Thus one might proceed down the curriculum of "things to eat" for scarce an article is made but that suffers from man's dishonesty and grasping. And still we wonder at protesting stomachs and dyspepsia. --- There isn't must philosophy nowadays in burning midnight oil when you can marry the money! Time was when a bright young man had to toll strenuously and hope fervently to acquire position and influence. If he forget to toll or hope his light went out and he drove a street car ever afterwards. It's different now. The woods are full of 'em! Turn to any of your enterprising papers and see opportunity bristling like a porcupine at bay! Women, women, everywhere, and all of them have money to throw at the waiters! Here is one who advertises she is beautiful. Think of that! And she has lucre enough to ballast a stoneboat. Her abundant, undulating hair envelopes her as a cloud. Her waist is as supple as a willow! Her visage is as the satin of flowers! Could she but meet a gracious lord, kindly, intelligent, well educated and of good taste, she could unite herself with him for life, "and later share with him the pleasure of being laid to rest eternal in a tomb of pink marble!" Wow! but that makes your heart teeter! You never felt so kindly in all your life. You could love the whole world just for that supple, undulating, satin-finished bundle of femininity. One wonders where these beautiful creatures got all their money and why the town fellows where they live are so confounded backward. It must be rather embarrassing to be "wondrous fair," rich as Midas, have undulating hair and yet go achingly through this world longing to be loved! There is only one worse condition we can imagine—to go the same route and not have beauty, wealth and undulating hair. Alas! All is not gold that glitters. By the way, do you suppose that hair is her own? ```markdown ``` Speculation as to the oldest joke is ended when the photographer is consulted. This factum takes a solemn oath that the most ancient and shop-worn jest is that suggested by the funny individual who comes to have a picture taken and "just knows he will break the glass." Authorities say this quirk is more medieval than the mother-in-law quip and that its endurance is pure bone and shine. The joke statistician goes further and alleges that no person born to this world of trouble and grocery bills has ever passed along the avenue of life to the shadow of the grave without having sinned, at least once, by a repetition of this thread-bare sally at the expense of the photographer—that is, provided, of course, the individual has ever had a picture taken. Not even Napoleon Sarony, the deceased American photographer, said to have the pictures of more American and European celebrities than any shadow-catcher who ever developed a negative, escaped. It is claimed he found the same original predilection for cracking this joke in the notables as in the hoi pololi. So be it! Let it be decided, to avoid argument, that the photographer is backed by facts in his firm stand as to being the brunt of the most molly "jolly" extant, and do not judge him harshly, next time you have your physiognomy preserved on allumen paper, because he refuses to smile at the moldy reference to the strength of his camera-glass. ```markdown ``` Artemus Ward in exhibiting one of his pictures, that of the plains between Virginia City and Salt Lake City, says in New York the audience went wild and clamored again and again for the artist—and when he appeared they threw brick-bats at him!" Last winter with coal at $9 a ton and snow heaped everywhere when Jack Frost was playfully painting imitable beauties we were too chilly to appreciate, we dreamed of summer and petulantly remarked on the frigidity of Boreas' reign. Now we are diligently engaged in throwing verbal brick-bats at the weather man for drying all the moisture from our bodies and sweating us like criminals in the perspiration-box. True it is that things are never just exactly managed to suit us. The philosophical perspire in silence and live long; the railers sweat in lilborne marrydrom and grow old prematurely. The fat man years to be thim and is disappointed when the attenuated fellow tells him he, too, is like a furnace. The pessimist knows we will all starve this winter, and the optimist sees a cloud no bigger than a man's hand in the heavens which promises rain. The individual who endeavors quietly to keep his mental faculties at a normal stage and refuses to "see things" is as usual eminently sensible. We are here and so is the heat. Like two families in the same house, we will have to do the best we can to keep cool. ```markdown ``` A farmer "up north" gave his note for $20 for a tin rooster. The rooster was made for a weather indicator. Six hours before a storm chantleciler was warranted to turn a deep red color. The farmer in the hay field, with tons of hay on the ground would, by consulting the rooster, know when to hurry it into the barn out of the wet. The farmer's wife would have ample time to get the little chicks inside the coop and have leisure moments left in which to "shoo" the turkeyettes under the barn. Unfortunately the rooster failed to assume color even fifteen minutes before a storm and the farmer posted to town mad as a hornet. He discovered that the rooster-man had gone but in his stead he found a raised note at the bank for $300. It is not to be wondered at that a farmer will occasionally go wrong on documents, but he has always had great faith in roosters, pigs, cows, etc. Verily the confidence man assumeth new trickery. --- A politician who failed to make good in the grab-bag, once said, "Gad help the people!" We are about ready to attach our avidfit in a postscript to this burst of confidence. In this land of substitution, adulteration and something just-as good, things have come to a pretty pass when everybody is suspicious of everyone else! An unprotected housewife cannot buy a yellow-legged spring chicken for the minister's dinner and be safely assured that when a boy he has not eaten the grandchild of that same hen. There will never be an absolute Utopia in this country until a young bachelor can buy a pair of variegated socks on Saturday night and secure with them a truthful warranty that the big toe on the forward foot will not break through the end thereof before the following Sunday evening. No young man may be confidently expected to use ordinary precaution about matrimonial entanglements when, with a girl! handy, his big ice is crying out for a female who can darn socks!

It is with great pleasure that we note the success of Miss Hazelda Harrison, an 18-year-old Afro-American girl of La Porte, Ind., in Germany. Last October she made a most brilliant debut as a piano solist with the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra, and is the present sensation of musical Germany. She is the first Afro-American German concert stage, and her wonderful success proves her talent. These Germans do not look at one's talents through one's skin. Miss Harrison is the daughter of a humble hair dresser, who has devoted ten years to provide a fitting artistic education in Berlin. Her Berlin debut she played the Chopin E minor and the Grieg A minor concertos, and the hypercritical critics of the Berlin musical world united in declaring her a most gifted woman. Numerous flattering offers for engagements have piled up in upon her at home. Her success of her unique success in Berlin. "Tis such things as the talent of this young woman and others too numerous to mention, many unknown generally, that make us hopeful for our future. We are just like other folks, baring our complexion and the texture of our hair, and all we want is the same chance that other folks get. At last the little brown Japanese have occupied Port Arthur and the Japanese-Russian war is virtually ended, it is generally present. We do not rejoice in the downfall of any human being, but we are not sorry some of the conceit has been taken out of the Russians. It has cost millions of money and many thousands of dollars of short of such sacrifices will satisfy human beings we presume we, with the rest of mankind, must grin and bear it. The success of the Japanese will have great bearing upon the entire world as they must now be welcomed as with among the great powers. Their success should act as an incentive to the Afro-Americans and inspire them to be plucked and pecked coupled with wisdom and forethought and they will succeed, even as the Japanese have done. Only a few years ago the Japanese were unknown and never taken into serious consideration until they jumped onto the Chinese and licked them into submission; now they have act, and they have acted and beaten them out of their boots. There is a chance for the Afro-American. Work and wait, brothers. The President of the United States on September 14, 1901, "All I ask is a square deal for every man. Give him a fair chance. Do not let him wrong any one, and do not let him be wrong." The man who uttered these sentiments is still President, and still holds the same sentiments. These sentiments are good enough for us and are all we ask for ourselves or for any one else. President Roosevelt is all right, and it seems that a lot of the citizens of the United States thought so too, last November. THE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN. Legislation of Modern Civilized Countries Protects the Young. "We must interpret the laws for the protection of the young against cruelty, oppression and injustice," says Henry Van Dyke in Everybody's Magazine, "as evidence of the world's growing sense of justice. Beginning with the Factory Act of 1833 and the Mines and Collieries Act of 1842 in England, there has been a steadily increasing effort to diminish and prevent the degradation of the race by the enslavement of childhood to labor. Even the parent's right of control, says the modern world, must be held in harmony with the child's right to life and growth, mental, moral and physical. The law itself must recognize the injustice of dealing with young delinquents as if they were old and hardened. The law itself must ensure the herding of children ten and twelve years old in the common jail. Juvenile courts and probation officers, asylums and reformatories, an intelligent and systematic effort to reclaim the young life before it has fallen into hopeless bondage to crime; this is the spirit of civilized legislation to-day. In 1903 no less than ten of the American states enacted special statutes with this end in view." NORTH STAR NEVER CHANGES. Retains Always Its Fixed Position in the Heavens. The pole star is really the most important of the stars in the sky. It marks the north at all times. It alone is fixed in the heavens. All the other stars seem to swing around it once in twenty-four hours. But the pole star of Polaris is not a very bright one, and it would be hard to identify but for the help of the so-called pointers in the Biblio system of the dipter points nearly Polaris, at a distance equal to three times the space that separates the two stars of the dipter's outer side. Various Indians call the pole star the "home star" and the "star that never moves," and the dipper they call the "broken back." The Great Bear is also to be remembered as the pointers for another reason. It is the hour hand of the woodman's clock. It goes once around the north star in about twenty-four hours. It is the same way of a watch—that is, it goes the same way as the sun and for the same reason—that it is the earth that is going and leaving them behind. O! Had We Some Isle. Ot had we some bright little bls of our in a own a summer ocean, far off and above. When we never also in the still bloom- ing flowers. And the bee banquets on through a whole year of flowers; Is worth the best joy that life elsewhere can give There, with souls ever ardent and pure as the clime. We saint those they loved in the first golden time. The glow of the sunshine, the balm of the air. Would you to our hearts and make all summer there. Our life should resemble a long day of light. And our death come on holy and calm as the night. Nothing to Fear. A London lady who tried to climb over a stile the first day of her country vacation certainly thought she had left London a couple of hundred miles away; but she rather wished, all the same, that the country was not so densely populated, and she turned an appealing look upon the rustic gaffer who insisted on watching her climb. A broad smile on his face caught her meaning, "Lor' bless ye, mum, don't be shy before me!" he adjured her; "I was a 'bus conductor for fifteen years'!"—San Francisco Argonaut. Fishing on the Dogger Bank. Fishermen discovered the value of the Dogger bank so late as the last half of last century. As early as the days of Henry VII British ships were fishing off the coasts of Iceland and laying the foundation of future voyages of arctic discovery in order to get salt cod for consumption on fast days and in Lent. They as well as the Dutch, were the frequent collectors on ships from the same era in the sixteenth century. Yet this veritable gold mine on the Dogger within 100 miles of England's coast lay neglected. A Few Figures. Mortality among bachelors from the age of 30 to 45 is said to be 27 per cent, while among married men of the same age it is 18 per cent. For forty-one bachelors who attain the age of 40 years there are seventy-eight married men who attain the same age. The difference is still more striking in persons of advanced age, 60 years of age there remain twenty-two bachelors for forty-eight married men; at 70, eleven bachelors for twenty-seven married men, and at 80 three bachelors for nine married men. "A Little While." A little while to gather rosebuds—with the thorns; To dream that we are more than clay; To toil ill-fate and nature's scorns. A little while to earn a name, To see it and the glittering crowd; A little while for praise and blame, A little while for sun and cloud. A little while for speed and rest, For peace and strife, for mingled knowledge and the worldless zest of ecstasy in poet rhymes. A little while—the play is done; The way it shall always be before; And only hearts that beat as one Can change the phase to "Evermore!" —London Daily News.

Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the controversy over the slavery question in the early days of the MH century to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. In reading certain chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolt over slavery began in Paris and elsewhere throughout the country. The book, which led up to the war with Germany, is thus described by the author: "Blanket prepared the war. Napoleon III wanted it, the great bourgeois looked on. They might have stopped it by an army. They might have stopped it by an army. They might have stopped it by an army." He saw in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have left the war. Vol. II opens with a chapter on "The Oikokos of the War," in which he says "We have treated with scent respect. They become oppression; they impilil governments and real enemies to human progress. When Mr. Buchanan was brought face to face with the imposition of the imon and overthrow the governments, he construed the fundamental law to be executive. Imagine Andrew Jackson, the president of the government in 1800. Would man have gaged in the work of disunion have been gaged in the work of House? Would they have bullied him CIVIL WAR TIMES There are other very interesting chapters in the book. The style is clear, unimprovived and mature, and the author has written instructively.

The Commune of 1871 was the culmination of French weakness and miscellany, and the culmination of the moral rested upon those in authority, and which followed swiftly upon the heels of the war.

It is a translation from the French, and its months before those outbreaks gave a most painful interest to the Jewish question and subject to all the odum that is implied in the title to his book, but this book has used his judgment in the forming of his opinions. The case is certainly stated in the book, and attributed with fairness. The fault is found to be not all on the part of the Gentile who has been carried with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest short-treatment. The treatment given the subject is his histories between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps he learns how much of prosecuting has been carried on recoprocibly between the Hezekiah and his resulta a greater mixture of race than Jews would, perhaps, willingly adhere to distinctions whether these be founded upon language, shape of the heart or court, or other characteristics. The opinion prevails that races are distinct and that there is superiority on the one side and that there is inferiority on the other there is likely to be trouble between Jew and Gentile as well as between black and white. Examples of this in the current history of this country, and this book can be used to explain the reasons upon to decide questions daily arising here. FORMS OF ENGLISH POETRY.

The Efficient and Popular Headwaiter at the Ryan. The subject of this little sketch was born in Deyersburg, Tenn., a little place near Nashville. Being naturally bright and good natured, he made many friends in his early youth and was a friend of the man of making and holding friends. He soon left his paternal roof and took up the occupation of waiter which he has since followed with much success. As he possesses great executive ability, he soon went to the top of his family's business, the most eagerly sought, highest salaried and responsible positions in the country. He was headwaiter at the Pulman building, Chicago, four years; Galt House, Louisville, four years; steward three seasons at the Club and the most eagerly sought seasons at the swell Arkansas Club, Hot Springs, Ark.: one season at the big Lafayette Hotel, Minnetonka Frank M. Silsby. Beach, Minn.; one year at the executive Brunswick, Boston; and is a present headwaiter at Hotel Ryan, where he has been ever since the present up-to-date, energetic proprietors, Messrs. Love & Pocock, who work at Mr. Silsby is a very well informed widely traveled man, and while he is strict in his discipline, is a man of extreme good sense and good nature all of which tends to make him very much thought of by both his employers and his employees. Mr. Silsby is in his charge presented him an elegant suit of cloats as a Christmas gift, in token of the high esteem in which he was held by them. Mr. Silsby is unmarried, which probably, accounts for his cheerful position and vivacious nature, and he is a host of friends wherever he has cast his lot, including St. Paul. GRAND CONCERT.

Defective Page BEGINS THE NEW YEAR WITH THE SWELLEST SOCIAL FUNCTION. The Young Society Men of the Twin Cities Do Themselfs Proud in Their Annual Party and Set the Pace for 1905 That Will Be Hard to Follow. The Cosmos Club, composed of six of our leading society young men, which has been organized for about three years and has given numerous social functions from time to time, fairly itself on last Monday evening with its annual New Year's party, which was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J, C. Q. Adams, No. 527 St. Anthony avenue. The Society had been the all absorbing topic of conversation in polite society circles for several weeks and all where on the qui live for it. Promptly at 8 o'clock the carriages began to roll up and deposit their precious burdens and by 9 o'clock all had arrived and the entertainment for the evening began the little show. President Owen Howell made a short spice of welcome. This was followed by a piano solo by Miss Hattie B. Grissom who rendered "A Dream," by E. Jugard; next came a vocal solo, "Twas but a Dream," by Miss Hattie E. Loomis, our rising young soprano; "The Cosmos Club" remarks on "The Cosmos Club" that were quite apopropos and well received; following came the little-Adams sisters, Adina and Margaret, who rendered a piano duet, "The Cosmos Fantasia," prepared expressly for the most pleasing surprise; the finale was the singing of a number of comic dittyes by the Cosmos quartette—Messrs. S. E. Hall, 1st tenor; O. Howell, 2nd tenor; I. Williams, baritone; A. W. Haynes, bass. The singing of the quartet took the house by storm and they had to re-arrange the scores before they were allowed to stop. The house decorations were on this occasion quite elaborate, the red curtains were drawn to the sides of the three large arches of the parlor and formed pillars which were entwined with the curtains, the center of each hung a wreath in which was suspended a large red paper bell; the chandeliers in the parlor were draped with evergreen and a large red bell hung from each. The center of each hung a wreath with evergreen, behind which was a lamp with a red shade which gave red gleams of light through the branches. The hall chandelier had a heart of evergreen tied with a red bow and the hall doors, other small pillars from a window had suspended the tiny wreaths tied with red ribbon bows. The parlor were covered with white canvas and all surplus furniture was removed, which made the dancing pleasant. The ladies were gowned as follows: Mrs. J. Q. Adams, hostess, black organ dresses, transparent lace yoke, black rosettes, ribbons and laces, red diamonds. Mrs. W. T. Francis, chaperone, canary crepe chin dwale. Paris crepe skirt, roses, pearls, diamonds. Canary crepe dotted pearls silk, lace, diamonds. Miss Hattie Loomis, cream silk crepe chin dwale, rose, diamonds. "ECONOMICAL TO BUY."

Miss Mimnie James, cream Albatros, rosees, diamonds. Miss Wore wore full dress suits. The members of the Cosmos, Messrs. A, W Haynes, O. Howell, S. E. Hall, Harvey B. Burk, I. Williams and Clarence Smith, wore the club badge, a combination bow of red and blue ribbon with long streamer ends. The other gentlemen present were: Mr. J, Adams, host; D. W. T. Franck, host; J. W. T. Franck, host; J. Howard, Mr. B. Archer, Mr. J. Richardson, Mr. W. A. Robison. Every one present was loud in praise of the elegant affair which has never been equaled on a similar occasion. So highly were the members of the club pleased with the evident efforts of the host and hostess to make the affair par excellence and their success in so doing not only on this occasion, but the other occasions when they held a meeting a "weekday" and elected Mr. and Mrs. Adams honorary members of the club.

In the center of the dining room was a table covered with immaculate linen, which was stitched a large punch bowl, at which the many callers were ad libitum. I Think of Thee: A Pathetic Letter: A tenement house child of New York who spent a happy day in the home of a Settlement worker, wrote the following pathetic little account of her visit in a letter: "Miss Blank lives in a big, beautiful house.

The floors are hard and shiny, with little pieces of carpet on them. No piece was big enough to cover a whole room." ROUTE'S WINES Dinner Wines. Pontet Claret $1.00 Per quart.....

POWER OF TRUE SYMPATHY. Giver Must Have Clear, High Standard of His Own. From the top of a mountain you can see into the valley around about—your horizon is very broad, and you can distinguish the details that it encompasses; but, from the valley, you cannot see the top of the mountain, and your horizon is limited, says Annie Payson, Call in, in Leslie's Monthly. This illustrates truly the breadth and power of wholesome human sympathy. With a real love for human nature—if a man has a clear, high standard of his own—a standard which he does not attribute to his own intelligence—his understanding of the lower standards of other men will also be very clear, and he will take all sorts and conditions of men into the region within the horizon of his mind. Not nly that, but he will recognize the fact when the standard of another man is higher than his own, and will be ready to ascend at once when he becomes aware of a higher point of view. On the other hand, when selfishness is sympathizing with selfishness, there is no ascent possible, but only the one little low place limited by the personal selfish interests of those concerned. RAPID SPREAD OF PLANTS. Seize Wide Stretches of Land in Gloe orious Profusion. It is marvelous how rapidly some plants will spread themselves over wide stretches of land, says Longman's Magazine. The writer was struck with the way in which the yellow charlock took possession of the line when the Meon Valley railway was being made a few years ago. The very next spring after the embankments were thrown up their sides were clothed with this rampant and conspicuous crucifier. A line of yellow across the country marked in many places the course of the railway. Poppies, too, for some unknown reason, will occasionally appear in strange and wonderful protusion. The striking instance related by Lord Macaulay may be quoted by way of illustration. After the battle of Landen the ground, he tells us, "during many months was strewn with skulls and bones of men and horses, and with fragments of hats and shoes, saddles and holsters. The next summer, the soil, fertilized by twenty thousand corpses, broke forth into millions of poppies." Photography Foreshadowed. La Fontaine, who died long before Scheele was born, gives in one of his fables a method of picture-making which may be regarded as foreshadowing the beautiful art which is now of service to mankind in so many different ways. It occurs under the title "Voyage Suppose," and a description runs as follows: "There was no painter in that country; but if anybody wished to have the portrait of a friend, of a picture, a beautiful landscape, or of any other object, water was placed in great basins of gold or silver, and then the object desired to be painted was placed in front of that water. After a while the water froze and became a glass mirror, on which an inefaceable image remained."—T. L. Hopeworth in Chambers' Journal. Memories of Lady Tennyson. Shortly after Lady Tennyson's marriage one of her women wrote the following: "We would find, Mrs. Tennyson alone in the large drawing room—always writing—arrayed in a dress of soft gray merino trimmed with velvet or fur, and with a long train, a piece of rich old lace, worn instead of a cap, drooping over her hair behind and coming to a point in front. She was extremely kind in lending us books; among these I particularly remember Fichte's philosophical works, which she admired greatly. Her manner was always most gracious and dignified—perhaps rather ranguid, but this arose chiefly from lack of vitality or physical strength." An Orgy. He went on a tear with a quart of root And he filled himself full of old pop; He tried to get silly on new sarsapallay. But he found it was lacking in "drop" So he went again with some ginger champagne. And he filled up with this brew. It sparkles and blows and it tickles his And he took "lemon sod" on the slide. But the man's knee he drank and, fooled him, a poor junk The snuder he felt and more snude. Then he waded with vexation.

People are more likely to catch cold in the back than they are generally aware of, and if neglected may prove a serious matter. The back, especially between the shoulders, should always be kept well covered, and never lean with your back against anything that is cold. Never sit with the back in a direct draught, and when warming it by the fire do not continue to keep the back exposed to the heat after it has become comfortably warm. To do so is debilitating—Journal of Health. Games and Brains. I have spent twelve years at the University of Cambridge and nine years of this period I have spent in teaching. I have always found that the fool at sports is the fool at books. Conversely, the good athlete is also a good student. The explanation is perfectly simple. A man or woman without brains cannot learn anything. They will be as great fools at games as they are fools at study.—Letter in London Mail. CRAB LIVES ON COCOANUTS. Able With His Pincers to Remove Husks and Break Into Shell. There is a crab which lives on the cocoanut. What a curious thing for a crab to eat!

PAUL, MINN. nut to its mind he begins to tear away the husk, fiber by fiber. And he hammers on the three weak places in the shell, which are called the eyes of the nut. He soon hammers a hole right through them. He has another pair of pincers in his hinder claws. These are not so strong as the others, but the crab begins to scoop out the kernel with them. He soon scoops out enough for his dinner. He lives in a deep hole, and the hole gets quite full of fibers of the cocoanaut which have been torn off. He rests on these as on a bed. This coccaunt-cating crab is quite a delicacy. He gets so fat that sometimes a quart of oil is yielded from his body. You may think how strong the pincers of the crab must be to creak the hard shell of the coccaunt. A captain of a ship wanted to bring one of these crabs home. He shut the creature up in a tin box and tied the lid down with wire. He thought the crab could not possibly get out. But he was mistaken. The crab used his strong pincers to turn down the edges of the box and thus got away. In doing so he had even punched holes through the tin. NEW TO "SAM" HOUSTON. Westerner's First Introduction to Champagne and Pickles. In England they have revived the old story of Gov. "Sam" Houston. Houston was dining at the white house in Washington. For the first time in his life he tasted champagne, which proved much to his liking. Toward the end of the banquet olives were handed round, these being an article of diet also not contained in the governor's philosophy. He took an olive in his mouth, and not liking the taste, promptly returned it to his plate. Just then President Jackson looked down the table. "How are you getting on, Gov. Houston?" he remarked. There was a moment's silence as the distinguished assemblage looked with interested curiosity at this—to them—new specimen of manhood from a distant and then comparatively unknown part of the west. "Well, president," the new governor calmly replied, "I like the cider, but dern your pickles." The Beggar. Tell me, beggar, with blinded eyes, What do you wish to hold a joy? Friendless and lonely and bladder-alas, Knowest thou aught save misery? "The sun shines warm on my gray, old head, The wayside blossoms their fragrance sheed. The sounds of the birds and the breath of the sea Are all for me, are all for me!" Tell me, beggar in lowly guise, What do thou when the summer dies, When the birds have flown to the South "Somewhere I find an ingle warm, And I cannot see you, but you hath no friend To a soul in need who cannot lend. Old Fido will drowse beowon my knee, And so we wait till the sweet rain rain Shall waken up again," agath. DULUTH DOINGS. Mrs. S. J. Mason of St. Paul spent Christmas week as the guest of her mother, Mrs. James Black of Duluth. On Monday afternoon, Miss Ethel Black gave a matinee party in honor of her sister, Mrs. S. J. Mason of St. Paul. Mrs. R. L. Stokes of 727 E. Sixth street entertained at 5 o'clock tea for Mrs. Mason of St. Paul. The decorations were in holly. A small tree beautifully illuminated, stood in the center of the table, each guest receiving a dainty souvenir. Covers were laid for nine, consisting of Mesdames S. J. Mason, J. M. Black, H. S. Merry, S. McNeal, Chas, Colby, E. Watts, W. B. Richardson, Nellie Wagner, R. L. Stokes. On Thursday, Mrs. James Black was at home from 2 to 5 in honor of Mrs. S. J. Mason of St. Paul. Many ladies called during the afternoon and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent. The ladies of the Interstate Club entertained Friday afternoon from 2 to 5 at the residence of Mrs. Chas. Bolby, in honor of Mrs. S. J. Mason of St. Paul. Mrs. Mason addressed the club and assured the members that they had the right idea of club work, comparing favorably with other club women. The ladies enjoyed the occasion hugely. Mrs. H. S. Merry entertained Friday from 6 to 9 in honor of Mrs. S. J. Mason of St. Paul. The rooms and table were beautifully decorated and the dainties served were excellent. The ladies will long remember the occasion.
