''In selecting bridesmaids" wisely

beauty that counts so much as style and

of. I've watched bridal professions Of

ty lose all the effect of their good looks
by their hobbling walk. Try TO move
the feet forward very slowly and see
how easily it becomes a limping hitch.
It should be a glide. then the slowness
is stately. The bride herself is helped

Chief Justice Mercer Beasley OF New
Jersey, now an octogenarian, has sat
on the bench for nearly forty years.
Despite this advanced age his intellect
is as bright as ever and his sense OF
humor as keen as it was fifty years ago.
His associates on the supreme bench
tell an anecdote which occurred dur
ing the last term of court. ~ certain
lawyer, whose idea OF forensic strength
consisted in the use of extraordinary
law terms without regard to fitness,
handed the chief justice a copy Of his
brief. After glancing at it the judge
interrupted the fedging by remarking:
'Mr. Blank, what particular meaning
did you attach to this sentence when
you wrote it?" The young lawyer at
tempted to explain, and was finally
forced to admit that he had forgotten
the significance Of that particular SEN
tence. Thereupon the old chief dryly
remarked: "You remind me OF q
philosopher who, years after having
written a certain book, was asked to
explain a passage. After studying
awhile, he said: Young man, when
that passage was written, just two
knew its meaning. One was Almighty
God and the other myself. Now only
one knows the meaning-that one is

Our Amateurs.

Last Friday night the stage Of
Opera Hall was decked by the
River Falls Dramatic Club in their
production of "The Flowing
Bowl The tragedians were
greeted with a good sized audience
whose appreciation Of the play
was apparent by the hearty APP
plause and merriment from the
opening to the close of the play.
Messrs. Dodge, Johnston and
Campbell were the only ones
having previously taken part
in drama and their former lore
was fully up to the expectations
in the excellent rendering of their
respective parts. The cowboy
scene was by far the most pleasing
feature of the play. Miss Edna
Chinook, as a rich widow,
brought down the house with her
original hnmor on several occa-
sions. Miss Lavinia Symes, as a
little torment, appeared before the
people of this city for the first
time and made a very favorable
i'm pression. Miss Minnie Pettet
and the other mem bers of the cast
earned enviab,e regulations In
dramatic art. The young people
went into the play with many mis-
glvings, owing to the unfavora bic
results Of former efforts along thus
line, but when 1t became evident
that the expenses and the neat
little sum of twelve dollars extra
had been taken i'll, they felt that
their efforts had been amply re-
warded. Much credit is due Otis
Johnson for the staging Of this
play as it is lis first one III that
line. VS. understand that the
company EXPECT to produce it
here again within short time and
hope that they will be greeted by
as large an audience as on the
above date.

ANOTHER FIRE.;
The River Falls Creamery goes up in
Smoke.

Saturday morning between one
and Two o'clock the creamery was
discovered to be on fire. An a
larm was turned in and sooh the
fire company was at the scene of
confagation. But the fire had
then gotten too far under way and
it was apparent that the building
was doomed. The fire company,
however, put in good service In
saving adjoining buildings. The
creamery was a fine one, it was
owned by j. K. Johnson of West
Salem and originally cost 81, 200.
At the time of the fire it was un-
insured. The fire, like all the
other fires in that vicinity, was
the work of an incendiary.

The Currier Lecture.

The lecture given by Mr.. Currier
Saturday night was listened to by
an appreciative audience. Mr..
Currier carried his audience from
Vancouver Island by water to
small seaport on the coast of
Alaska, from there overland, by
means of sleds, boats and on foot
till they reached Forty Mile City
on til. Yukon. After spending
some months in this city and get
ting better acquainted with the
ways of the Indians and miners,
they left for Circle City, rumors
having reached them that some
miners had picked up fortune in
few days. 1t was here that they
had their initial work in mining
and where they gathered their first
gold. At this place one of the
miners was found guilty of theft,
having stolen sack CT -four from
another miner. and some fish from
an Indian. The sentence pro-
nounced by the miners was ito
leave camp without food, arms
and shelter, aud not to return. :"
The arrival Of the steam boats IS
another interesting feature of life
at Circle City. The boat brings
them provisions and news from
home, and whenever a boat arrives
the miners take holiday and cele-
brate., After staying here which
all together makes three years in
Alaska, they prepared to 90 home
and after receiving packages and
letters from those who staid be-
hind, they boarded the ship and
started. After various delays and
accidents they reached San Fran
cisco. At the close of the lecture
MIR. Currier gave some sterloptlcan
views of the scenery, buildings
and natives and Of the only wagon
road in Alaska, "Indian Avenue. :
Mr.. Currier had on exhibition sew
eral robes, some gold, walrus'
tusks and model Of the canoe
used by the Indians.

THE LATE P. h. VOOLFOLK.
An EulOgy on His Life,

[By his friend, o. M. Steward ]
'Twere not in eloquence sublime,
Nor oratorial power,
Nor yet In fascinating rhyme,
To employ the heetinG hour;
To weigh the distant worlds and tell
What courses they pursue,
What kind Of beings on them dwell,
What kind of work they do.
He did not go to distant lands,
The heather to reclaim.
To free their souls and train their
hands
In works which bring no shame;
Though he'd have gone at Gods COM
mand,
Had that command been given,
And toiled through seas OF burning
sand
To bring lost souls to heaven
BE never claimed q leaders place,
Was never first in strife,
Though his good judgment well might
grace
The highest walks in life
But unobtrusive, seeking good,
Not to himself, but others;
For truest manhood ever stood,
And claimed all men as brothers.
'Twere little deeds he gloried in,
Little deeds OF kindnessW
What'er relieved the sting OF sin,
Enlightened misery's blindness.
Twas the "cHp OF cold water" he
Delighted most to give,
To aid in setting captives free,
For this he seemed to live.
Intrinsic gems and gold unminec,
Are often trod upon,
BY those who never were destined
Their brilliant rays to CON
So, with this man, this Prince OF men
Whose deeds shall never dim;
When Christ makes up His jewels, then
He'll surely honor him.
For, head and shoulders, Saul-like NJ
Above his fellows stood.
With willing heart and spirit free,
His fort was doing good
No mighty shafts bis grave spot marx
No scrolls emblazon forth,
How he in battle did embark,
Nor how he kept his oath:
But many hearts will testify
That he did them reclaim,
That he would live or do or die
For Right, in Jesus namei
