Just after President McKinley's inau-
guration he had his relatives who were in
the city at family dinner at the White
House. 1t was large company, and a
very good dinner Dear old Mother Nc
kinley was there, b., she was not very
laxative. She was too happy for words.
But she kept sharp eye on the dinner.
and no detail of it escaped her She was
impressed by the quantity of cream served
with the fruit and coffee, for she looked
up at her son IL her sweet way and said :
wv William, yoo must keep COW now"
Some of the younger members of the
family party found it difficult to suppress
a smile, but the President, with his usual
tact and graciousness, replied: Eyes,
mother, We can afford to have a COW now.
and have all the Cream we can possibly
use. Ladies' Home Journal.

IN the brown school house on the hill was
organized heeAab lodge of Good Tenn
plars, which grew and hourished until it
became one Ot the largest and strongest
lodges ia the county. Antagonism sprang
up II the district, and by vote OF the
school district it was obliged to seek q
shelter Of It's own. Ten leading members
banded together and commenced the cree
ton of Aecssb hall which was finally
completed, making a very commodious
and excellent building for the purpose,
and was adapted for public entertain
ments. In tue course of time, partly ow-
ing to internal dissensions, the lodge be-
came extinct, and the hall reverted to the
original subscribers. Whether the hall
in the future will be repaired and used as
public hall, or converted to some other
use, depends upon the purchaser-as it
will probably be sold.
