A couple of gentlemen from Neva-
dA, Mo-, passed through our neigh
b0rhood last Monday on their way to
Yates Center.
From a private letter we learn that
Mrs. John Ball has been dangerously
i'll for some time, little hopes being
entertained for her recovery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Malsbury from Prairie
View came up Thursday evening of
last week, and Friday moved Mrs.
Malsbury's goods to her new home.
Married at the home of the BRIDES
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Sheriff.,
Nov. 18th, Mr.. Isaac G. MalsbHry, of
Prairie View, and Mrs. Emma F.
Conneley, of Prairie Dell, by Rev.
and Mrs. King, of the U. B. church.
Early Wednesday morning the neigh
Dor ladies went in to offer their assis.
tance in preparing the dinner. A
number of lady friends were already
there and had the rooms tastefully
decorated with flowers and evergreen
About eleven o'clock the guests be-
gan to arrive and before twelve the
rooms were filled. At precisely u
the bride and groom, accompanied by
MIR. and Mrs. Joe Kelley, marched
out under an arch of evergreen and
flowers to the wedding march played
by Mrs. Arneld, took their places and
were united in the holy bonds of we'd
lock. After congratulations tie invi-
tation was given to walk out to din
ner. And dinner words fail
us to describe. Quite a number of
valuable presents were given which
the bride and groom highly appre-
ciate. In the afternoon the bride and
groom took his bride and her child
ren to their new home near Prairie
View, leaving a warm invitation TO a
number of her friends to meet them
in their home on the following day.
About 50 went and had an excellent
time. In the evening the young men
called around with bells, horns, guns
and so on for their treat. They were
called in and treated after which they
sang a few songs then went home.
But the marks they left on the house
will last in memory long time even
after they are painted over. How
much more civilized and refined it
would have appeared if those young
men had made their appearance in
the first place with music instead of
such q hideOus din.

MATCHBOX OF THE NEW WOMAN

Man No Longer the MonoPoIIst of This
Convenience.
Until this year the matchbox has been
the unquestioned, exclusive property of
man. Never once did he think of such
q thing as the fairer sex borrowing it
He may have had a presentiment of
her laying claim to his necktie, but his
matchbox-uever, says the Chicago
Tribune.
But the bicycle girl, who makes what
ever she wants possible, has now laid
siege to mans matchbox. If she con-
templated riding at night she needs
matches to light her lamp, and neces-
sarily she must carry them in a match
box.
That is the reason that there are
any number of new matchboxes this
year which are smaller and more dainty
than anything in this line ever seen be-
fore.
do the girls buy them?" prominent
jeweler was asked. To which question
he answered: Eyes, indeed. The small
er sizes are made particularly for their
special use"
The prettiest of the new matchboxes
for girls are of gold with an enameled
decoration. The enameling either takes
the form of a college or yacht club
flag or it resembles hand-painted
miniature showing a girl on a wheel
or the head of a dog. Many of these
matchhoxes are made with a concealed
recess for photograph. tits only when
a certain spring is touched that the pic
ture can be seen, so sl1illfully it is hid
den away.
The silver matchboXes, decorated
with the outline of tiny bicycle in
enamel, are also new and much less ex-
peBsive.

The surf bathing was there, but there

DANCING.
1t Has Had a Warlike Significance Among
Peoples of All Ages.

1t Has Had Warlike Significance Among
Peoples of All Ages.
Dancing, with which word civilized
people are won't to associate pleasure
and peaceful enjoyment, has had war
like significance with various tribes of
people throughout all ages of the world,
anditisstill in vogue among the blanket
tribes of red men in America. The fa-
nous Pyrrhic dance represented the
ovcrtaking of an enemy and doing bat
tie with him. To-day, among the Zu-
lus, grand dances are merely the ac-
compartment to the colloquial war and
hunting songs, in which the women put
questions which are answered by the
men. There are mimic fights, which
go by the name of war dances, almost
universal among tribes to which war is
one of the great interests of life. The
bravery dance of the Dahomeyans, and
the Hoolee of the Bhil tribe in the
Vindhya hills of India, are the most apt
illustrations. Nearly all savage tribes
have a regular war dance, 50 that it is
scarcely possible to select one as having
a more warlil1e significance than the
rest. All the performers appear in
fighting costume, handle their weapons
and go through the movement of chal-
lenge, conflict, pursuit or defeat. There
is one very picturesque dance of the
Natal Kaffirs which probably refers to
the departure of the warriors for battle.
The women appeal plaintively to the
men, who slowly withdraw, stamping
on the ground, and darting their short
spears or assegais toward the sky.

Smoked Before the kine.

Ii Hung Chang seems to be but a
slight respecter of court etiquette, for,
we are told, he absolutely broke down
the rule of the Belgian court etiquette
by the simple process of taking out a
long pipe, which, after handing it &c
his secretary, who filed and returned
it, he smoked with infinite deliberation.
King Leopold was good deal aston
ished by the occurrence, but he rose to
the occasion admirably, and at once
caused cigarettes to be handed round,
with the result that Ii Hung soon found
his position no longer one of splendid
isolation

SIR HERCULES ROBINSON.

Jameson and their associates in the
memorable Transvaal fight with the
Beers and the British government has
by implication administered a reproof
to the conspirators by deciding to ele-
vate Sir Hercules to the peerage. He
was conducting the affairs of Cape Col
ony for his second term when the storm
broke. 1t is acknowledged that his
policy was in no way responsible for the
raid on the Beers and that his efforts
to maintain the dignity of the home
government at his post were success
full, although he was in . very trying
situation with, perhaps, the majority
of Englishmen ready to denounce the
representatives of the government in
South Africa.

Mexican Burial of the Dead.

The Mexicans have queer way of
burying the dead. The corpse is tight

case may be, place the coffin on their
heads and go on trot to the grave
where the body is inferred and the
coffin is then returned.

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-03-01

This is the latest conundrum among stu
dents of Shakespearina. DR.. Jon Stef-
ansson started the question in an article
that appeared in all English magazine,
and before the Eliza 0than Society in Lon
don the other day DIR. Jon held forth at
considerable length and with powerful
accent to show that Shakespeare visited
Denmark. To prove his case the doctor
put in series of dates booked in and
around Elsinore by several companies OF
English players, especially by the COM
pany headed by Will Kempe. Kempe was
quite the Ferris Hartman of the period for
"gagging," and it was (according to Stef-
ansson) against Kempe that the bard di-
rected his remarks against clowns speak
ing more than is set down for them.
DR.. Jon Stefansson believes that young
Shakespeare played small parts on
Kempe's Danish tours. He does not ap
pear to be able to adduce much evidence
in support of his theory, but the idea is
