Appropriately Celebrated.
IL is not often that silver wedding
anniversary occurs, in little town like
| ours. In fact, such occasions are not
! any too numerous in the more populous
communities, where, one might reason
ably expect some portion Of the married
contingent to have worn the blessed bands
OF wedlock for a quarter OF acentury. But
twenty five years is long time even to
look back over, and in that stretch
OF years there are many things that may
part those who have joined hands for
better or for worse" and when all other
causes fail, Death too often steps in and
claims his contingent interest Till
Death do us part" But even the grim
archer has been outwitted by our good
friends who celebrated last night, in the
presence OF hundreds Of their friends. a
quarter century OF welded happiness.
As the invited guests turned the cor
ner into Park street. the good taste OF
house was visible in the very elegant
decoration and illumination Of the ia
cade OF the house with colored Ian
terms. Arriving at the house and hav-
ing disrobed Of outer wearing apparel
the guests soon found their way to the
second floor where the silver bride and
groom received and acknowledged the
constant stream Of congratulations and
good wishes that was poured upon them.

that had every appearance OF silver

ian, and in the midst OF this excess the
guests we're told that there was still
more to come. the very elegant and cost
ly gift of the employees Of the house
having unfortunately been delayed in
transit. Congratulations and a review
Of the gifts over, the guests found their
way to the lower floor and into the spac
ious dining hall, which. cleared Of
tables offered an irresistible temptation
to those who were light of foot, made
music OF Prof. Reichardt's orchestra.
Dancing followed as a matter of course.
until midnight. when the dining hall was
vacated for short interval during
which the tables were spread with roy
al banquet and occupied by over two
hundred OF the youth beauty and fash
ion OF Miles City and few old people,
who under the circumstances felt
some excuse fer living, An hour
or more was spent in the enjoyment
OF the good things OF the table, and in
listening to kindly and heartfelt remarks
from many OF the gentlemen present,
but this was prosy work for the young
folks who wanted to dance. and by two
o'clock the decks were again clear for
actiop, and the fun ragged fast and furi-
GUS until the strains Of Home Sweet
Home" disturbed the currents Of the
morning breezes and admonished those
present that pleasure has wings and that
beauty sleeps must be taken before four
in the morning. Mrs. Savage was on
the floor for the very last dance, but
Charley had long before sought the
restful quietude Of the Office, from
whence he could look out and enjoy
what was going on. and still be at ease,
1t was an event, the memory Of
which will long be cherished by both
entertainers and entertained, and in
partial recognition of which the histor-
ian has made this incomplete and hasty
narration.
