4 FEAST OF RIDDLES.
Unique Luncheon as Pleasant as 1t Was



i unique luncheon was given recent
~ at the house of a lady whose friends
/ have named her The Goddess of Hos
pitality." from her frequent entertain
ments and the enjoyment she seemed 10
take in gathering her friends about her
| under delightful conditions.
The invitations were issued for a
''Conundrum Luncheon" and were rid
dies in themselves and the recipients
wondered how such an idea would find
expression.
At able each lady found at her place
a wild rose or sweet-brier blossom
painted upon Watman paper. about the
size of the palm of the hand. and cut
out following the outline of the flower.
The reverse side of the blossom was
also painted with its calyX and part of
the stem, and cut into shape. These
formed the covers of little book con
tanning about a dozen leaves. A drop
Of mucilage between each leaf held all
firmly together at the edge of one Of
the left-hand petals.
Oysters were already on the ia ble
when the guests assembled, but on
each leaf of the little flower books was
conundrurn in verse. the answer TO
which would give the name of each
course in turn. thus furnishing a novel
menu. While enjoying one course the
ladies amuse themselves by trying to
guess the one next in order, and the
answers were in each case correctly
given before its appearance.
The following was the menu selected
for this occasion. but it viii require
only very slender rhyming faculty
to adapt the idea to any other choice Of
dishes. The riddles in this case were
composed, with one exception by the
hostess.
The bouillon was thus suggested!

yelled the elated legislator, I've kept
my promise and here are your hens.

Go on returned Sessions. Your
sens and mine are the only ones that
ever come into my yard, and mine

We'll, you'd better look and make
sure OF 1t, anyway" said Baker. So
the pair jumped the fence and went to
Sessions roost. where the chagrined
congressman discovered how he had
been sold. Sessions gathered up the
dead hens and took them TO his own
house where they were nicely pre-
pared. and the entire Baker family was
invited over to dinner Buffalo Courier.

Indian is not particularly valuable.
When he can no longer sleep in his hut
on account of the swarms Of flies at

about his front door he sometimes is
stung into desire for revenge on his
enemies. Revenge is sweet, and
syveeter if there is any money in it. He
goes 70 the woods and collects num-
Der Of green twigs OF certain tree.
These he lays in pile on the floor Of
his hut with some dry twigs under
them. Then from another tree he gets
a gum which he boils into a thin
strip and spreads on the walls of his
hut. The flies are attracted By its
fragrant and far-reaching odor. They
gather 10 feed on il. When the hut is
black with them the Indian sets fire
10 the twigs on the floor and closes the
aDertures from the outside. The
tyvigs emit an aromatic smoke which
kills the flies and they fall TO the
floor in thousands. Then the natives

Yankton Press and Dakotalau There
were about thirteen million votes cast for
president OF the national election last No
vember. At least. eight millions of the thir.
teen favored free coinage of silver. This is
a low estimate when it is considered that the
democrats, Independents and prohibitionists
declared unequivocally for free coinage in
their platforms, and the republican dsclara-
tion was practically the same. In view of this,
the assertion of the New York Herald, New
York Times and other eastern papers that
less than two million people-voters and
non-voters, residents of the Rocky Mountain
states--are interested in free coinage, has nc
foundation whatever. It is not the inhab
itants of the silver-producing states alone
that are to be counted in its favor. The
question is as truly national in its characte,
as the tariff question, and probably more
closely connected with the welfare of every
section of the United States than any other
The production Of gold and silver is con
fined to certain sections, but the question
of metallic-money standard interests the
people of every hamlet in the Union equally
with those who are directly engaged in the
production of the "precious metals"

In the Hands oe Receivers.

At last the inevitable has happened and
the Northern Pacific has been placed in
the hands of receivers. The following
paragraphs are taken from the Bismarck
Tribune Of Wednesday,:
New YoRx, Aug. 15.--Thos. F. Oakcs
of New York, H. C. Payne Of Milwaukee
and Henry G. Rouse, president of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas road, have
been appointed receivers of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company. Judge La
combc, of the United States circuit court
appointed the receivers on motion of the
Farmers Loan s. Trust Company, and
Philip NJ. Winston, VIM. G. Sheldon,
George r. Sheldon, VIM. L. Prentice,
and William G. Sheldon s. Co., as CO..
partners composing the firm of W. c..
Sheldon & Co. The recelversh:p en-
braces the Northern Pacific railroad, and
all railroads owned, leased or controlled
by said corportlon.
Editorial That the Northern Pacific
must eventually 60 into the hands of a
receiver has been the feeling on Wall
street and in financial circles for some
time. The general depression has simply
fastened the event. It is of little mos
