CASTLEGATE, Dec. 25.-During the
week the people CT Castlegate have
been marrying and giving in marriage.
Peace has now been declared between
the north and the south for Castlegate
appropriated one and Spring Glen con-
tributed one. The last couple who
helped to continue the matrimonial
excitement were Alma Jones, of Spring
Glen and Miss Elizabeth Williams, of
Castlegate. Their reception was a huge
affair and everything was in harmony.
The masquerade ball at the K. of P.
hall on Xmas eve, was the greatest So
cial event that has occurred here for
many years. The right kind of ladies
and gentlemen had the affair in hand
to make it a success. The committee
rewarded a neat sum to the best dane
ers. Bob Wilson and Margaret Ann
Thomas, of Castlegate, were the lucky
ones and another lady whose name was
not given received a turkey for the best
costume
Christmas day was observed in the
usual quiet. and delightful way by the
people of Cast1egate. An interesting
programme was rendered before a
large crowd of people in the K. of P
hall at 10 o'clock a. M; a, dance for
the children was INDUCED in; candy
nuts, etc, were distributed among

TRUE FORM OF THE MOON.

You were doubtless taught, as was
the writer. that the moon is globular-
shaped; or. in other words, that its
form is similar to that OF the earth.
According to the teachings of ad-
vanced modern astronomy, this is all
a mistake 1t is believed nowadays
that the moon is a perfect ellipse, it's
figure being nearly exactly one-third
longer than it is broad. This ellipti-
cal theory of our satellites shape is
founded on the well-known fact that
a certain side lend. rather of the
moon is always presented to our view
This is caused by the moon revolv-
ing once on her axis in exactly the
same period of time that she revolves
around the earth. Her elongated
shape was probably caused by the
attraction of the earth when both
planets were young and soft.

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Dec. 26.-Sev-
eral important mineral discoveries
have been made in the Hartville min
ing district during the past week. One
OF these is a vein of asbestos located
within a mile of the town of Fairbank
on the Platte river. The vein is foot
wide at the surface and specimens
mined and brought here show the
product to be long in fibre and evil
IDENTIFY of great commercial value
The owners are w. II. Kelly, of Fair
bank: Peter Hoyer, of Hartville, and
Messrs Stein and Louk, of Whalin
Canon.
An extensive body of manganese ore
has been located by Charles Frederick,
of Whalin Canon. The ore is black
and is found in nodules and pockets
in clay and sandy deposit. But lit
tie manganese ore is found in this coun-
try and large quantities of it are i'm
ported from Germany, it being an alb
solutely necessary element in the pro-
duction of steel. If the find at Hart
Vile is as extensive as appearances
now indicate it will prove of great
value.

MAIDENHOOD.

Happy heart, devoid Of care,
Shines from azure eyes,
Personated innocence
In a maiden's guise.
Waving locks of curling hair
Straying Ger the face,
Where each curl and dimpled holds
Smiles Of winning grace.
Dropping lashes. resting oft
On a cheek that glows
With the softest, richest tlnts
OF an autumn rose
Childhoods free and joyous grace,
Shrining face and form.
Tempered with sweet dignity
Woman's priceless charm.
Heart SO eager to possess
Cares not understood:
Sweet. pathetic innocence
This is maidenhood.
