THE CoNUNDRUM SUPPER.

W. r. G. Ladies' Afforded an Evening OF
Great Fun for Large Crowd.
The conundrum supper given by the
ladies of the W. r. G. in the G. A. r.
hall Tuesday evening was great sue
cess in point of attendance and the menu
offered to the people. A person had to
take great chances on what they order
ed, particularly if their knowledge of
those affairs was limited. For instance
a young man called for cup of
of McKinley's elixir of life, supposing it
to be water, and his surprise can be-
imagined when the attendant brought
him cup of salt. The bill of fare was
80 we'll gotten up and the names were
80 ingenious as to cause much merri-
ment in ordering something to eat.
The hall was crowded with people from
the time supper was served in the after
noon until quite late in the evening and
the ladies realized a goodly sum of
money for their treasury.

Rev. Mr.. Stevens Discoursed on the Life
of the Great Temperance Worker.
Good audiences we're in attendance
upon all the services at the Methodist
church Sunday. A chorus choir
led the singing in the evening. In ad-
dition Mrs. Stevens contributed solo,
"Beulah Land," which was appropri-
ate in connection with the tribute paid
to the memory of Miss Willard by the
pastor before the regular evening ser-
vice. OF this woman, whose memory
is honored by all, Mr.. Stevens spoke as
follows:
''The noblest traditions of our race
are preserved through the agency Of
organized womanhood. All that has
been accomplished of reform during
the past generation, all that today ex-
lists, all that the future may reveal owe
large debt to Frances Willard, who SO
recently passed to her eternal reward.
twenty-five years ago she resigned an
important place as college president, to
enlist in movement e,tined to be
world wide, at the head of which she
inspired the womanhoud Of all the
globe with the possibilities of woman q
work. Herstrong steady fight for right,
her patience when face to face with the
greatest difficulties, all that she under
took and carried forward to success,
were made possible by the spirit with
| which she entered the contest against
evil: ''for God, home and every land
This spirit was indicated in the resoiu
tion offered at Cleveland in 1874: "Re-
solved. that recognizing that our cause
is and will be contested by mighty, do
termined and relentless forces, we will
trusting in Him who is the Prince o
Peace, meet argument with argument

Some II. suits of the Creamery Convention
Which Occurred at Brookings.
S. S. Bately, who attended the an.
nual meeting of the dairy and cream
erymen's convention at Brookings last
week, returned home Thursday even
ing and expressed himself as being
greatly pleased with the reeults of the
gathering. great many of the
creameries Of the state had ar exhibit
of their butter and it was surprieing, he
said. the lumber of new creameries
which had entered for composition as
against The number that were in last
year. The judges on butter we're MIR.
Bately of this city, c. W. Stevens, of
Chicago, and c. E Frink, of New York.
The first prize was awarded to the
Wolsey creamery aud the third prize
WAS divided with the Salem and Mt
Vernon creameries. This ia different
kind of situation than has existed in
creameries came and gobbled up all
the best prizes Mr.. Bately thinks
that this will increase the competition
among the creamaries to excell in
making butter and will also add to the
standard of South Dakota butter. To
correct the report sent to the Sioux
Falls papers that the convention en-
dorsed the candidacy of Sioux Falls for
the location OF the national convention
and that the delegates to the Topeka
convention we're instructed to vote for
that city for it's location in South Da-
kota, Mr.. Bately stated that the Brook
ings convention took no such action and
that they we're not pledged to any town
in the state. So far as he was concerned
MIR. Bately said that it was the inten-
tion to get the national gathering to
come to the state without regard to any
particular location and after they had
that matter settled then it would be
time for the various towns to put in ap-
plica,ion for the national convention
Mr.. Bately was invited to give an ad-
dress before the college students on the
making of fancy butter. His address
was highly commented upon as being
practical and instruc' i've.

A Badger Township Couple Celebrate
Fifty Years of Married Life.
On Feb. II, 1S4S, Mr.. and Mrs. J. J.
Odell, now residents of Badger town
ship, we're married at Brooklyn, N. Y,
and the golden anniversary of their
wedding was celebrated at their home
on that day last week. The event oc-
Cured at their home on Thursday after
noon of last week and was attended by
a large number of their friends in the
neig b borhood, and the occasion was one
of much rejoicing for the old couple
who had withstood the battles and vicis-
STUDIES of life for half century.
After their marriage at Brooklyn
they lived there for seven years and
then moved to Racine county, Wis.
where they lived for ten years and
then came on farther west to jackson
county, Iowa. They resided in Iowa
for sixteen years and moved to Badger
township in this county in 1881, where
they have since resided and acquired a
comfortable home. AS result of their
marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Odell have been
blessed with eight children, four boys
and four girls, but two of whom are
now liying-Wm. Odell in this city aud
James Odell at Letcher. To memorize
the occasion the friends presented them
with quantity Of money and many
other thingsof a valuable nature, which
the worthy old couple will treasure as
memories of their half century we'd
ding. Mr.. Odell is 80 years old and his
wife is 81, and both of them ere we'll
preserved at that age. The day of the
anniversary was pleasantly spent in
social amusements and the host and
hostess recalled and recounted incidents
of early married life. When the guests
went home they expressed the wish
that the worthy old couple would live
many years longer to enjoy the society
of a union which had lasted so long.

derful success is the result of her faith
in her sex. Every little town in the
United States has an organization. A
multitude of women can say with Han
nah Whitehall Smith: "Miss Willard
has been to me the embodiment of all
that is lovely and good and womanly
and strong and noble and tender in hu.
man nature. She has done more to en-
large our sympathies, widen our out
look and develop our gifts than any
man or any other woman of our tine"
The voice of Frances Willard is thrill.
ing the souls of her sisters around this
whirling sphere with the sublime dig
nifty of living, and the present respon-
sibility OF doing in larger sense than
was considered possible or proper
a decade ago. She would make woman
sharer in the worlds interests that
the children of the morrow might be
more thoroughly endowed with the
gifts which in SO large sense are given
by woman alone to her own. That wo.
man might be capable in the home and
in the world, "a comrade of her hus-
band and sons" three strands should
be woven into the cable that binds the
home circle-sduc .tion, religion and
affection. Wul,e .he last two had ever
been considered sufficient, she saw the
need of the first to make that cable
truly strong. Frances Willard believed
in her kind: "God made woman with
her faculties, her traits, her way of
looking at all great questions from the
highest to the lowest, and He made her
to be helpmeet for man, and He made
man to be helpmeet for her. He made
them to stand in q republic as believe,
bearing equally its magnificent burdens.
The world needs the tender sweetness
OF the alto voice, the jubilant good will
of the soprano in sermon as in Psalm;
tenor aud bass become monotonous and
the full diapason of power and inspira-
,ion is isimpossible except we listen to
the full chorus OF humanity"
In an address delivered at Buffalo
early in November, her closing words
were as follows: ''Itis not improbable
that the chief value of the little work
that we have tried to do on this small
planet lies in the fact that we have been
to some extent attempered by it; we
have become Injured to contradiction
and we may be useful either in coming
invisibly to the help of those who
toll in the reforms of the future, or we
may be waging battles for God upon
some other star"
Wherever He sends her, the work
she inaugurated here will continue.
Think you that this woman is dead?
No! Like all of Gods workers she
lives on. Influence is immortal. She
lives on in the galaxy OF reformers whom
God has commissioned for work here
where His Son labored. Some names
will never become dimmed but rather
discover newglory in the lapse of years.
Gladly we accord to this sweet lady the
place she has long held unrivaled, and
will continue to occupy-"the best
loved woman in America"

Rabbit. Not "Rarebit.v

Those who have accepted the incon-
sistant name of Welsh rabbit for toasted
cheese on the assumption that it was q
corruption of Welsh ''rarebit," will have
to revise their view. According to a
writer in MacMillnn's Magazine, "Welsh
rabbit is a. a.genuine slang term, bslong-
ing to large group which describe in
the same humorous way the special dish
or product of peculiar district. For
example: An Essex lion is calf; u
Fieldane duck is a baked sleeps head;
Glasgow magistrates, OF Norfolk
capons, are red herring; Irish apricots
or Munster plums are potatoes; Grave
send sweetmeats are shrimps."

THE MOUSE IN THE PIANO.
1t Ran Out at the Sound of Classical
Music, But Not for Two-Steps.

Music, But Not for Two-Steps.
speaking of MICE" said Mr.. Biffle-
by, according to the New York Sun, "a
friend of mine that owns an old-fash-
ioned piano tells me that when it was
being played upon the other day n
mouse ran out of it and scampefed
around on the top and then ran down a
curtain whose folds touch the piano at
one end. The mouse has done this
twice in single day.
SEARCH was made in the interior of
the instrument for a mouse's nest, but
none was found. Perhaps the mouse
had only just selected this place and
had not yet begun building when it was
first attracted by the sound Of the
strings. However that may be, it still
comes back, and it comes out and runs
away only when classical music is
played, and not for two-steps and that
sort of thing.
"As to the accuracy of these facts
there can, of course, be no doubt. The
only question in my own mind is as to
whether the mouse's failure to come
out when the two-steps and so on are
played really indicates preference for
the lighter forms of music. or that
er-r-the mouse isn't there"
