THE PHOTOGRAPH PARTY.
A Unique and Interesting Time Had at
Mrs. Mailer's.


. You should have been at the pho
tograph party, we had such a fine
time. Such was the remark of al
most every lady who attended the
photograph party given by Mrs. R. E.
Mailer last Saturday afternoon. 1t was
an unique and entertaining affair,
First of all as the ladies came in each
drew record card, on which at the
top was silhouette of Mrs. Mailer.
There were about fifty numbers on it,
the number Of the table and the mum
Der Of the lady. OF course, it follows
from this description that there must
have been tables, fourteen in number,
and these too were decorated, having a
fancy photograph in the middle, the
number of the table and notice which
said: One and three go down and two
and four go up" On each table was
placed four of the photographs Of the
guests present taken in early life. AS
the ladies finally all gathered and
seated themselves the bell was struck
for them to begin. Each table had six
minutes in which to decide who the
four photographs represented, then the
bell was rung, and, as the directions on
the table told, one and three went
down and two and four went up. After
writing down the names of the persons
on their record card of the different
photos. 1t must be understood that
the photos were all numbered so that
the names were written on the cores
ponding number of the record card.
Eventually, one sees, they met again
at the tables where they started. Then
the scores were taken and it was found
that Mrs. 0. NJ Petit, Mrs. w FL.
Saunders and Mrs. W. NJ. Farr
took the three head prize and
Mrs. Palmatier the foot. Here too
the idea of photographs was also
carried out. They were all photos
framed. The first prize was moon
light scene on Lake Michigan, the
second a photograph of the park and
the third one Of Jacobs island.
The foot prize was worthy of mention
in more ways than one. 1t was photo
with the inscription on it, " Some one
that you can guess As it was a. pic
ture of the Father of HIS Country"
there could be no doubt about it.
Refreshments were served, during
which the ladies discussed their ability
to recognize friends in the early CARDS
of youth. The party was a great
novelty and nothing could have gone
smoother, and Mrs. Maileris to be con-
graduated on her success.

HOW TO TRAIN A CHILD.
An Article Which Appears in the Paper of
One Who Never Had One.


We find the following beautiful and
touching bit of advice in the editorial
columns of the Racine Times There
fore we must believe " them's the senti-
ments" of the editor The editor is
Ham. Utley, who up to three or four
years ago was a bachelor of fifty or
sixty summers, and who since his mar
riage has had no children:
{" Careful mothers should never allow
their children to be leased. Teasing
often spoils naturally sweet, sunny
disposition, and should be discounte-
nanced. Teach children to be brave in
bearing pain that arises from hurts,
bruises and other accidents. Scream
ing does no good, and child should be
gently and lovingly taught the beauty
OF self control, even though he be a
small child. He will soon take pride
in keeping back the tears when he falls
and hurts himself. Be patient and
gentle with children, and do not scold
nor frighten them. You can soon teach
a child to be reasonable, and can argue
the question of right and wrong with
him until he sees for himself that it is
Only sensible and strong to be good.
Above all make companions of your
children, and do not keep them at a
distance from you. Gain their conf
dence and you can easily manage them
with love and sympathetic trust.

THAT DOG.

Oh City Dads, you really are
So very, very funny
You think the little dog should have
A pool-chip for his money.
So sure you make there's no mistake,
In what you have suggested
That canine truth and honesty
With numbered plate be tested.
There's still fault that can be found
With your ingenious plan,
You've put the tag upon the dog
Instead Of on the man. H. M. A.

Sale of Valuable Real Estate.

Mine Host L. E. Smith, of the "Blan-

morning, and we fear has shaken" US
for good, for he sold his new house on
upper Fourth street, to Mr.. j. W..
Boyer of Sistersville, who according to
his own statement will soon be "Mr.
Boyer, of Marietta. Smith hinted
that it might be "Mr. and Mrs. Boyer,
of Marietta," but we doubt that, for
Mr.. b. seems to be welded to bachelor
hood.
Mr.. Boyer expresses a strong desire
to come TO Marietta, and go into some
