table Of United States money. She first
asked how many dimes make dollar,
and was readily answered len" To her
question how many cents made dime
she received the same reply. She then
said: "Now, children, am going to ask
you more difficult question Can any
one tell me how many mills makea cent"
At first there was silence, then a small
boy near he foot held up his hand, and
on being told to give his answ err, said:
"My pa said if Mckinley was elected not
a damn mill would make cent?

been SO pleasantly anticipated was

the exuberance OF spirit throughout the

couple accepted the invitation extended
by the Young Mems club. The costumes
OF the masqueraders made the scene
bewildering one hardly a nationality on
the face OF the earth was overlooked and
in one Or two instances the animal king
dom found Il faithful representation 1t
was not until supper was served that
the dancers unmasked and the shrewd

success in the fullest acceptation of the
