Presbyterian Valentine Luncheon.

PRESBYTERIAN Valentine Luncheon.
Lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone,
The buds they are swelling,
The hens they are setting,
And socials are booming
All over the town.
Arise ye young maidens
And bachelors so gay,
And haste We to celebrate
St. Valentines day
Wen have charades that are funny,
So hasten along,
Dainty luncheons for money,
And valentines too,
But they are in halves
For you sweet heart and you.
One half in your box,
You surely will find,
The other must be sought for
But that you'll not mind,
For the girl that will make
Your valentine complete,
Is the one fate ordained,
You this evening should meet.
So to DR.. Bogie's you surely must
come,
On next Friday evening,
And see all the fun,
The married and single,
The young and the old,
No matter if its windy,
No matter if it's told.
Don't think of hard times,
And your hearts we will, cheer
For Valentines day comes but
once every year.

in an established and paying busi-
ness can secure a bargain. Our
object in offering to sell is not from
dissatisfaction with the business but
from lack of capital with which to
tide over the dull season and meet
outstanding obligations. This is a
chance for some of our moneyed
men to form Joint stock company
and maintain the best newspaper
and most valuable plant in the In
dian Territory. If sold the trade
must be accomplished by March l..

E---Eleonora Duse has received the rare

from the king Of Sweden. She also re-
ceived the kings photograph with his
autograph, but earned it by listening to
King Oscar while he played and sang
to her ballad Of his own compost

Mrs. Langtry's daughter attracts
much attention at the Niagara, Lon

the phrase Jersey Lily" was invented.
Guy de Maupassant's mother, to
whom he left 10000 francs a year by
his will, recently applied to have the

AS the will was made long before the
novelist broke down, she lost her case.
One of the best whist players in
this country is Mrs. Lucia Runkle, who
is also literary worker. She is 4
wonderfully good player, with young
daughter who is growing up to be no
less remarkable in that respect. Nh.
Runkle was celebrated for his prof
cheney in whist, and his only child has
had the advantage of constant prac-
tice with both parents.
Cornelius Vanderbilt was elated the
other day because he was able to eat
few stewed oysters and not be CHS
tressed. Mr.. Vanderbilt for years has
suffered from acute dyspepsia and has
been pleased enough when a bit of
graham cracker and a sip of matted
milk did not bring agony to him. The
gentleman who told of Mr.. Vanderbilts
happiness over the stewed oysters re-
marked that they were as much of Il
feast to him as a great course dinner
and wines galore would be to a tramp.
An English paper reyives an old

Alfred Austin, Salisbury's poet
laureate, is called ian estimable little

it declares that Lord Salisbury, in MAX
ing the appointment ''has fitted the
FOOLS cap on his own head for all time"
The office of laureate, says the Review,
was 'felt by Tennyson himself to be as
much an anachronism as the office of
court fool, and he did not hesitate in
private to condemn it, and to express
his sense of the tignominy of the posi-
tion.'

A small party seated in the Manhat-

At their trial the members of til. 8

4 hardened sinner of the stills, whose
first and second offenses were already
recorded against him, was once again
brought to book by the vigilance of the

AS an old offender, who had neither
promised nor repented, it was likely to
go hard with him; and he begged earn

send him to jail instead of the peniten-
tlary, promising that so long as the
judge remained upon the bench he
would neither make nor NEEDLE with

He won his case, and was sent to ill

summer, and six months later, when
the first SHOWS began to powder the

received letter from the convict. It
was supplemented petition for a

Would the good judge let him off for

and the wife and children were alone in
the cabin on the mountain, with no one
to make provision for their wants. He
would not overstay the time, and lie

His petition was granted, and, true to

A DELIGHTFUL ANNIVERSARY OCCASION.
 Notwithstanding the threatening
 weather of Wednesday, November II,
 the many friends of MT and Mrs George B. Beers were not to be baffled in making the occasion of the 10th anniversary of their wedding 8 merry one. At p. m.,
 the moon began peering through the clouds and in less than two hours about 75 guests were present from Danburys Bedding, Bridgeport, Mt Vernon, N. Y., Newtown and adjacent towns, in response to the 100 invitations sent out. As the happy couple received their guests it could hardly be realized that they had fought the battle of life for 10 years, for the bride looked as charming as when led to the altar in 1886. Games were in- dulged in by the young people, making things lively till all were suddenly called to take their places at the ladened tables and attend to the wants of the inner man. To say the guests did not do jus tice to the tempting .viands so palatably prepared by one of bEe best cooks of 10 | years experience, would pc drawing II too mild. Chicken sandwiches with tea and ccffee, half dozen varieties of cake, with grapes, bananas, and candies, and oh, that brides loaf just melted in one's | mouth.
