THE MISTAKE SHE MADE.
She Did Her Best to Entertain Bored
Guest.

AT party the hostess said to a guest:
81 want you to entertain Mr.. Blank a lit
tie; he looks bored to death. ] will intro
duce him, and you must try to amuse him.
You know his strong point is butter, on
which he has written book"
The ladyguest graciously undertook the
task of entertaining the man, inwardly won
dering that he should be SO interested in
butter-of which she knew very lttle-when
his face indicated mind given to much pro-
found thinking.
However, with butter in view, she began
on the weather, gradually got to the coun-
try, then on to farm, from that to cows,
and at last to butter. The man looked more
bored than ever, the magic word Clutter"
producing not the slightest effect, and he
left her somewhat abruptly, and soon with.
drew from the house.
81 did my BEST" she explained to the
hostess; 81 went through agonies to prove
that / was deeply interested in butter, but
it was all in vain"
"Butter!" exclaimed the hostess. "What
possessed you to talk to that man, of all
men, on butter? / told you he had just
written book on Buddha, and / knew how
deeply you two were interested in the same
subject"
And they said in chorus: "Gracious!"-

ASSESSMENTS DECREASED.
Big Saving to Stockholders of n De-
funct Sioux City Bank.

funct Sioux City Bank.
Judge Gaynor, of the district court in
Sioux City, made an order reducing
tie assessment against the stockhold-
ers of the dcfunct Iowa savings bank
from 100 per cent. to so per cent. This
will mean a saving of $125,0O0 to the
stockholders of the bank, and $25 1000
saving to the stockholders of the Sioux
City savings bank, as the same action
will undoubtedly be taken in this case.
The court did this in accordance with
the late ruling of the supreme court as
to the assessment in bank cash. This
ends long line of litigation that has
been pending in the courts.

Exhibitors of Free Food Show Wi

Exhibitors of Free Food Show Will
 Give Him Token of Their Esteem.
 The free food show closes to-day af ter having been open nearly two weeks
 This show, the third given here, has
 been in the matter of exhibits and att tendance the best yet. The firms who have participated in the exhibition have almost without exception been among the best known standard provision men of the country.
 The attendance has been large and the management says, of a better class than at the two previous exhibitions. It is safe to say that the attendance has averaged 1000 daily throughout the two weeks.
 Among the fondest remembrance of
 the free food show will be the recollec- tion of the booth tenders who have sup
 piled visitors with free samples, while pouring into his or her ear many praises of the article.
 The exhibitors and the booth tenders got together last evening and had a little jollifcation all by themselves af- ter the visitors had departed. The programme was printed in this paper yesterday morning and it will not be
 necessary to repeat it here. The plat form of the Meet Me in the Barn.
 exhibition became the pulpit and stage for the occasion. There was music by
 Atwater's orchestra, songs by the
 quartette, and recitations by those of silvery tongue. The overgrown, much
 milked COW watched it all and didn't kick
 Manager Chidsey was called upon for
 an address and laconically congratulat- ed the exhibitors and their assistants for helping to make the show so thoroughly successful.
 For this much MT. Chidsey was down on the programme and of course had prepared himself in quiet seclusion | (whether prayerful or not is not cer- l tain) during the afternoon. He was l not, however, prepared to be called to the platform a second time. This time l he was presented with handsome
 couch, the gift of the exhibitors. The l presentation speech was made by c. H.
 Irwin of Huckins' soup fane. MT | Chidsey responded in few appropriate
 words. Assistant Manager Beardsley
 was also called to meet c. H. Demins | of New York Biscuit business in the
 barn, where he was also presented with
 a gift from the same givers. his being , an easy chair The occasion was a
 most enjoyable one throughout.
