THANKSGIVING FESTIVITIES
The Butchers Ball at the Grand
Central Hotel Was Il Pro-
nOunced Success.
The Black Eagle Firemen Give a
Dance at the Park-The X.
Of P.'s Celebrate.

The Buchers' union ball at the Grand
Central hotel, as Archie McDona!d's
new hostelry at the old court house
building is now named, was IN every re-
spect a success. The butchers went In
to make a record for themselves as CIV
ing a ball second to none given by any
society, and the committee on arrange
ment spared no pains or expense in
carrying out this idea. TIE music was
of the very best. The hall was most
ta~stefully decorated and the supper was
simply immense. The man who couldn't
find what he wanted on ths bill of fare
at the Grand Central dining rooms must
have peer pretty hard to suit.
The big ball room in the Realty block
was crowded with hsppy couples who
thoroughly enjoyed themselves and
many complimentary remarks were made
on the excellence of the arrangements.
Dancing was kept up till a late hour in
the morning.

DO q SMILE
If Not, why Not? Here Is Something
That VIII Make You.

If Not, Why Not? Here Is Something
That Will Make You.
Wear a smile. You can whether you
live among beautiful flowers and singing
birds, or in the mire, surrounded by fogs
and frogs. The amount OF happiness
which you can produce is ~incalcuable If
you will show a smiling face, a kind
heart and speak pleasant words. On the
other hand, by soul looks, cross words
and a fretful disposition, you can make
hundreds unhappy almost beyond en-
durance. What will you do? Wear a
pleasant co~untenance, let joy beam in
your eye and love on your forehead!
That is the way we should all be and to
enable you to feel that way you should
got your clothes made by the Chicago
Tailoring company, % Second street
south, which makes suits that fit and
guarantees their workmanship, and at
prices that astonish everybody and
within the reach Of all.
1t is q we'll known fact that a pool
fitting suit OF clothes gives a sensitive
man moro annoyance than anything else
can, while a suit made by us is a Joy
forever, and it will cause you to sing a
night when you retire, in the morninl
when you rise, and through the da!
while at your daily vocation.

THE SHELTER BOYS DA

Annual Ball Thanksgiving Eve.

Black Eagle Fire Company Give Their
Annual Ball Thanksgiving Eve.
The volunteer fire company at the
copper smelter gave their annual ball at
the Park hotel Thanksgiving eve. The
big dining hall was cleared for the occa-
sion and was we'll filled. A very nice
crowd was present and everything went
off smoothly, the work of the commit
tees having been done most efficiently.
The music was a special feature of the
ball, being furnished by the Black
Eagle band. an organization composed
of smelter employees. This band, although
recently organized, has already won a
good reputation, and it is the judgment
of good musical critics that it possesses
ability sufficient to make it one of the
best in the state. Many compliments were
heard regarding the music furnished at
the dance.
About 80 persons sat down to supper,
which was furnished by the Park hotel
chef, and having stated this fact it
would be supertiuous to say that the
supper was indispensable for dainty
elegance.
1t was after three o'clock on Thanks
giving morn before the ball closed. and
those who were present will look for
ward to the next dance of the Black
Eagle company with anticipations of a
pleasant evening,

over did not make any defense, and their
story of having found the tea in the
alley back of the Globe theater was
proved false. Croft admitted on the

Hurdle.

A movable pen, or hurdle, is of the
greatest value on any farm or garden
where stock and fruit and vegetables are
grown. One profit in stock keeping is to
make the stock serve every purpose pos
sible. Thus poultry are valuable as egg
producers or flesh growers, but If the
eggs and flesh can be grown in good
part from the insects and weed seeds
that are the gardeners worst enemies
so much greater the gain. But poultry
and turkeys and pigs and sheep free to
roam at will are likely to do great
harm, and it is in combining them to
the limits of the work to be done that
the value Of the hurdle, or pen, lies.
Such hurdle or pen can be easily made
of four pieces of scantling, each as long
as the pen is to be high; four pieces OF
board 10 inches by 20 inches each, with
a hole the size of the end Of the scant-
ling, and as many feet of wire mesh as
the outside of the pen is to measure. 10
make tho pen lay the pieces Of scantling
on the ground, as far apart as the sides
of the pen are to be wide, understand
ing that the distance between the posts
| will be a side of the pen. Fasten the
wire mesh to the posts with a tack at
each mesh, leaving enough wire mesh
beyond the fourth scantling to forsa the
fourth side. Tack the loose end to a
small strip of board the height OF the
scantling, and in this board place three
hooks, one at each top and bottom. one
at the middle, with screw eyes to match
49, H~%
Set the scantlings into the holes OF
the four pieces of board, and the pen is
complete unless it is to be used for
poultry, when a wire or cloth top Will
be necessary. This pen can be moved
about easily, and in it the stock can be
kept where they are wanted.
For pigs, sheep or calves the pen
must be made stronger. This can bt
done by passing iron rods from one cor
ner post to the opposite side, the two
rods crossing each other. This also give
a framework on which the cover OF wlr'
or cloth can rest .-Philadelphia Ledger

Cleveland and silver.

According to the La. Populist of
Sept. 2lst. $3,970,727 standard sill
YER dollars have been coined by the
Cleveland administration within
the last eleven months, which have
been paid out to redeem silver
certificates" Well, that is a mod
erately fair admission, although it
says nothing about the 81, 597, 223
that have also been coined and
paid out for other purposes within
the same eleven months. And now
comes the U. S. treasurer under
date of Oct. LIST, saying: reports
received by the Director of the
Mint show that during the month
of September the coinage of gold
at the various minis amounted to
S., O33 692, and Of silver So, 765,37O,
of which $672, 200 were standard
silver dollars" By this it appears
that, Notwithstanding the so-called
"demonitizing" of silver, the pres
ent administration has gone right
along and coined $14, 333, 800 silver
dollars, and has prepared to coin
as much more within the next SIX
months. This IS pretty fair In
dication that silver is being surely
and safely restored to its position
as money.
