A very enjoyable and successful sur
prise party was given in honor OF Ben f.
Ladue at his pleasant home last Satur-
day night, the occasion being the ami
versary of his advent into this world of
mingled joys, trials and tribulations. So
complete had the arrangements been
made by Mrs. I.adue that Ben was with
difficulty persuaded not to retire for the
night before the arrival OF the guests at
s 80 O'Clock. lie soon fully awakened,
however, when they arrived, and with
his estimable wife, made the evening a
very pleasant one for all. At II O'Clock
delicious refreshments we're served, after
partaking of which the guests took their
departure.
The entertainment at the Congrega-
tional church last evening was enjoyed
by large attendance. Musical and liter
AIRY exercises constituted the program.
OF special interest were dialect quartet

Green and Gregg Robinson, dressed in
Dutch costume Rotations by Professor
Campbell; class exercise representing
the different holidays Of the year by the
classes OF Mesdames WeatherwaX and

The Necktie Party given by Prof. Swan
ton, at Koehler's hall last night, was not
as much OF financial success as the
management had anticipated. 1t was
more properly a Sixteen-to-One Party
there being about sixteen ladies to one
gentleman present. The scarcity OF the
latter was not due to the fact OF any lack
OF interest in dancing, especially on this
occasion Of annual thanksgiving, but be-
cause OF the $40 necessary fee, OF which
even the Aberdeen society young man
rightly considered more proper to keep
in Lis pocket than to part with for a few
hours amusement. However, the music
by Gamages orchestra was excellent, and
those present enjoyed themselves.

The Dollar Entertainment to be given
at the Methodist church, heretofore an
nounced for Friday evening, December
4th, has been postponed until after
the holiday festivities are over. The
admission will not be a dollar, on the
contrary it will be free, but worth dollar.
There will be musical and literary pro-
gram, together with an experience meet
ing in which will be told many novel
ways to earn dollar. Everybody,
whether member OF the congregation or
not, is invited to earn dollar in some
unusual way, bring it to the entertain
ment, tell how it was earned, and then
put it into the basket-that's how the
ladies expect to get little money to fix
up the parsonage. You need not stay
away because you have not earned the
dollar, but come and have good time.
Let us have no more calamity cam
paigns, but move on toward prosperity by
trading with JEFF and saving money.
Ever since the election William Henry
Peal son has been disconsolatc and morti-
fed to think that he should fail OF receiv-
ing the time.honored compliment OF an
election as constable OF the metropolis OF
Grays harbor. What was his surprise
then, on last Thursday evening, to receive
certificate, signed by the auditor and
sealed with the great seal of Chehalis
county, certifying that he had been duly
elected to the Office of constable for the
city Of Aberdeen. William looked at il
long and intently, and finally came to the
conclusion that the court house officials
having for so many years been accus-
toned to sending such certificate to him
had this year done so through force OF
habit. An investigation, however, showed
that he had really out-run c. Rix Robin.
son, and G. Rix will have to rest on the
glory OF two-weeks' supposed constable
electship. This uncertainty was all owing
to the fact that the HERALD man failed
to get the returns from East Aberdeen
precinct for the office of constable.
Indigestion is often taken for consump

away as badly as consumptivcs.
