The Libby Reception.

The attractive home of Mrs. G. II.
Libby on Angeleflo Heights was brightly
Illuminated on Wednesday evening, and
wore general air of expectation.
Within, the rooms demonstrated their
capacity for elaborate decoration. The
CRATES were filled with lilies, roses and
trailing vines, while the mantels were
one solid bank of most exquisite roses.
In the dining-room a long table was set,
the cloth festooned with smilax and
roses, rich scarf extending from end
to end; a center-piece of bright flowers,
and the board sparkling with its dainty
glass and silver. A unique and sugges-
tive decoration in the hall was pair of
Canadian snow-shoes filled in with
marigolds and marguerites and bordered
with vines. The cause of this festive
array was the reception of about eighty
of Mrs. Libby's neighbors and friends
She was assisted by Mrs. McMurray,
Miss Aver, Mrs. and Miss Pinney. The
guests were in gala attire, and the eve
ming was most pleasantly spent in social
chat, enlivened by music and dancing,
while the refreshments were all of the
choicest. During the evening a lady
late from New England was observed
stranded before the mantel banks with
'roses rare" apparently transfxed with
admiring wonder. "Oh," she sighed,
clasping her hands in ecstacy, ''what
would my Yankee friends say to this I"
The hostess was at her best, the guests
at their gayest and the memory of de-
lightful time will long shed it's fragrance,
will attest to one OF the "green spots"
in life-a 'red letter" evening.

sued in the name of T. J. Rockwell, the
manager of the hotel, and as the oc-
casion was, perhaps, the last of the win
ter festivities at Pomona, the ballroom
was crowded with his many friends.
Good music had been procured, and the
hotel was decorated with palms and
roses. The dancing order contained
twenty numbers, and it was 2 O'Clock
before the last of the dancers left the
floor: Quite number of Angelehos en-
joyed the occasi i'm.

Would join them? My dropping spirits
Immediately arose and gladly acquiesced.
We had proceeded down the river some
ten miles. and was sitting on the hurri
cane deck-by the way, you all know where
the hurricane deck of Mississippi flatboat
is; if you do not it does not matter
with the fair Angelica Korfdrop list
ening to the sweet strains Of the "My-
sots" waltz. when my nautical eye caught
glimpse of big sand bank ahead and into
which we were fast steering. 1t was in
vain that shouted, ''stOp 'er, back 'er. ease

was a police officer on board and a mighty
good fellow he was too, but as usual in

so many ''Original packages" produced in
so short a time. and with their aid and va
rous other comforts soon regained my
equilibrium.
But from that fatal Fourth of July every

my wretched and futile attempt to saw
wood. Thus if l had not tried to saw wood

compelled me to visit the drug store too
often. which was the result of my getting

And now, my old friend, there is moral
to the above narrowing and distressing
yarn. and that is. do not monkey with the

maintain that if a man knows how to do
only one thing. but to do that well, he
had far better stick to that than try to be a

not amount to very much. And, my friend,

The discipline of the reformatory may be
severe, the requirements of the system may
be very taxing, yet the mental, moral and
physical training that the system entails
should be considered rich recompense for

fulfill the requirements of the institution
and that reward is liberty, thing for which
thousands, less bound than the prisoner,

Tomorrow will be the Fourth of July.
How prOsaic yet how full of meaning that
name is to every American citizen. This will
be the one hundred and fourteenth anniver-
sary Of the Declaration of independence.
The men who attached their signatures to
that declaration little dreamed of what
great worth that document would be at this
day. They would be dumbfounded, wise
men that they were, could they come back
and behold what has grown out of their act.
They would be startled at the wonders they
would see. They would say one to the
other: 'Behold. our descendants are be-
come magicians." What would they think
if told that message could be sent from
New York City to the Court of st. James
in minute? or, that they might journey
thence and return III less than fortnight?
What wonders would they not see! But
| nothing would astOniSh them more than the
| rapid growth of their country's domain, its
great commercial enterprise, it's enlighten-
ment, and its eminence among the ma
| tons of the earth. They would find the
| thirteen states grown into forty eight states;

vester; the fail, into the threshing machine;

The Declaration of Independence is a
document that will still live when the ma
ton that produced it is numbered with the
nations of the past, and the principles
therein set forth will be the war cries of
other oppressed peoples, for Truth crushed

The United States form the greatest, the
strongest and the most humane nation re-
corded in history, and no matter what
changes in the form of government may
come, another century will find it as far in
advance of what it is to-day as it is greater
