In Recognition of His Birthday.


Saturday was the birthday of M. B.
Cleminger, just which one doesn't
make any difference, and in honor of
the occasion Mrs. Cleminger gave an
informal dinner party at 1880 that
evening to which few friends were
invited, and later in the evening the
party was augmented by the arrival OF
a quartet of couples, and the combined
party played cards for the rest Of the
evening. At later hour refreshments
were served sna as Mr.. Cleminger in
sisted he was but 'ssweet sixteen" that
many lighted candles we're placed at
the plates of the guests, with one in
the censer OF the table for future
growth. After the refreshments were
served the sixteen candles were ex-
tinguished one by one and as each
guest snuffed out their candle, leaving
no blaze to the wick, they expressed a
hearty wish for the future good luck
and welfare of their host. The affair
was most pleasantly and happily ar
ranged, and the informality of the
function made it most delightful and
social one.

1t was to be regretted that a larger

piano solo were omitted from the even

another solo later in the absence of Mr..
Hover. Prof. Collert's work is always
commendable and was particularly so on
this occasion. Misses Carpenter and

the sympathy OF the audience in an
nourcing his text, which was "the
grandest thing in the world is a man;
the most glorious thing in the world is
a woman." That idea rather drew the
people closer to the speaker but before
he got through with man end woman,
in presenting the different phases OF
the lives they lived and the way they
looked at things in the world, it was

w. W. raylor,s Bad Luck.

OF course great many South Da-
kota people, with a good deal of charity
in their hearts, wonder what has be-
come of W. W. Taylor who was some
time ago released from the peniten-
tiary. Recently the editor of the Red
field Journal Observer was in Chicago
and he speaks of Mr.. Taylor's misfor-
tune as follows:
"When in Chicago. last week the
writer called at Mr.. Taylor's former
place of business and found the entire
big office building in ruins. 1t was q
seven story structure and contained q
large number of business interests. On
the night of the fire, Mr.. Taylor and
some friends were the last to leave the
seventh floor for the street. His watch
was few minutes slow and the elevator
had stopped running promptly at six
down the seven flights of stairs. 1t was
while they were on their way oyer
town and had gone but a short distance
from the Office when the fire engines
and other apparatus went rushing along
in the direction from which they came.
They retraced their steps and found the
entire building in q mass of flames. In
an incredibly short time the entire
structure and its contents were mass
of ruins. Mr.. Taylor's loss was about
$1,000 with an insurance of about $5,
600. At present his office quarters are
with f. Fl. Doland, on Washingto.

kota will learn with deep regret OF thil
streak of misfortune. It comes to hin

subservient to acquiring wealth; or the
persons who devoted their sole energy
to Dress becoming the slaves of fashion
and society and leaving the hearthstone
and its surroundings to take care Of
itself; or the grunting, groaning, frivo-
lous, frowning humanity which received
everything that tended to open up
brighter avenue of life's worth as an
existence; or the husband who found
fault with this or that and the wife
who devoted her energies so exclusive
ly to household duties that they became
burden to her better half, and so on,
ad libitum. The speaker abjured all
such classes OF people as unworthy the
instincts for good placed within the
confines of their existence. He held
that life was worth the living, that this
grand, glorious old world held the pos
sibilities for most happy life when it
was not viewed blindly as was the
elephant.
Mr.. Copeland has a remarkable flow
OF language and he presented his ideas
in a forcible and eloquent manner, re-
sorting frequently to illustrations and
stories that left the point we'll exposed
to his hearers. There was that mag
netism between the speaker and those
in front of him that the attention was
riveted to the orator as he delineated
humanity in his matchless flow of
pathos, wit, rldicule, philosophy, NOR
ality and Christianity, and the fresh
ness and vivacity with which he stated
the homely truths kept one looking for
something better as his speech pro-
gressed.
There we're none left the opera house

lecture, pleased with the orator and

that are faultless in their character.
