A New Game.

The newest game takes1the form of an in
formation party, and is begun by passing to
each gentleman card and to the ladies sma II
pieces of paper, which should be numbered.
Those who discover the same'number on their
card and paper are partners for the game.
Each couple must think of a question, sensi-
BILE or ridiclous, historical or in regard to the
weather, to be written on the cards, after
which the cards are to be gathered together,
and the leader reads each in turn, givin a
few moments for the partners to consider the
subject and write the answer. which should be
read aloud in turn. This is where the fun of
the game begins, as many of the answers are
exceedingly queer. Those having correct
answer mark their card 10, wrong answer O,
and if the answer is anywhere near right it is
counted s. When all are added prizes may
be distributed, as in progressive games for
best and poorest record. The instructive
part Of the game is.the discussion which fol-
lows the questions.

Look Out,

When you are in town, look out for s aur &
Balsley's Drug and Book Store, and wheth r
you want anything or not, don't you fail to
90 in and look around, a little time thus spent
may save you money in the future. They
have an elegant stock of goods, comprising
everything usually found in any of the first
class drug and book stores of the country.
The quality of these drugs can always be re-
lied on and the prices are guaranteed to be as
low as the lowest. They exercise the greatest
care in purchasing their medi ciDes and any
that do not come up to the standard, if they
have become so by age, are sure to find their
way into the fire at the earliest moment dis
covered. The book department in this house
will be larger and much more complete than
ever before and the prices will be much lower
this coming winter and especially during the
holidays.

The Western Journal gets of the following

The Western Journal gets of the following,
q Ia Hiawatha:
He killed the noble Mudiokivis,
With the skin he made him mittens,
Made them with the fur side inside;
Made them with the skin side outside;
He, to get the warm side inside,
Put the inside skin ontside;
He, to get the cold side outside,
Put the warm side fur side inside;
That's why he put the fur side inside,
Why he put the skin side outside,
Why he turned them inside outside.
The above reminds us of speech made in
q public meeting in which those in front
stood up, thus preventing those In the rear
seeing what was going on. Said chap in
the rear: "Mr. President, please make the
people in the front part of the meeting sit
down, so that The people in the back part of
meeting can see what is going on in the front
part of the meeting. AS it is those standing
up in the front part of the meeting, keep
those in the back part of the meeting from
seeing what is going on in the front part of
the meeting, thus very much inconveniencing
those in the back part of the meeting," etc.

70 The Public.

Owing to our immense stock of dry goods,
n otions, boots, shoes, carpets and cloaks and
the increase in our trade this fall over pre-
Ceeding years, we are compelled to move our
large stock of ladies fine shoes in the base
ment, where we have arranged very good
shoe department, one that would be credit
to the city shoe trade. This move was COM
pulsory one, as with our increased stock
on busy days, we were unable to show our
many patrons our entire line of goods.
Therefore by moving our shoe department
down stairs we gain more space in which to
show the most complete low priced stock of
dry goods that ever entered Henry county.

shoe department and secure pair of those
most elegant and ever comfortable ladies

Thiesen-COOVer.

Two of Napoleon's most popular young
folks joined hands in matrimony last Thurs
day evening, in the person of Mr.. Albert
Thiesen, son of our fellow townsman, John
Thiesen, and Miss Nettie Coover, only
daughter of W. G. Coover, the popular hard
ware dealer. The ceremony took place at
the home of the bride, in the presence of
a few immediate relatives. The happy
couple very sensibly did away with the usual
wedding trip, preferring to stay quietly at
home. Hosts of friends extend congratula-
tions and wish Mr.. and Mrs. Thiesen long
life of happiness and prosperity.
