Pleasant Surprise Party.

\ complete surprise for Miss
Ethel Williams was perpetrated by
several of her young friends, aided
and abctted by her mother, and
last evening the scheme was con-
summated and the trap sprung.
While Miss Williams, lured by
the moonlight and the gentle per-
suasion of her steady was taking
a stroll around the block, about
thirty young people took possession
of the parlor. Her surprise can
be imagined when she walked into
the room and found herself sur
rounded by her companions and
friends.
Progressive high five was soon
begun, and at the close of the con
test, when honors were compared,
it was found that Miss Grace Rol-
Inns and MIR. McDaniels were en-
titled to the first prizes, which con-
sisted of "A violet holder and ster-
ling silver cigar clipper.
The young ladies had not come
empty handed, as was proven by
the good things to eat that were
served after the prizes had been
awarded.
The balance of the evening was
spent with music and conversation
aud when the time arrived to de-
part there was no dissenting voice
from the generally expressed SEN
timent that it had been an evening
most pleasantly spent.

An Up-tO-Date Peanut Dealer Puts
Them Up In Small Packages for
Breath Killers.

If the proprietor of a sidewalk pea

doesn't carve out a fortune for himself
some day it. will not be through any
hack of observation on his part, or of
failure to act upon the suggestions'he
manages 10 dig out of what he OBJ
serves. His latest wrinkle is putting
up peanuts in one-cent packages. The
peanuts are fhe same quality as those
he sells for five cents per bag, the only
difference being in the size of the pack

whats your idea," queried Gus
toner the other day. "Sell more that
way?"
YES" was the peanut mans reply,
although probably not for the reason
you think. Tell you how it happened.
One day well-dressed young fellow
came along and stopped in front Of my
stand.
"HovS much are your peanuts?' he
asked.
"Five cents 1 answered. Have a

"The young fellow fished up hand
full of keys and other things from one
of his pockets. Then he shook his head
sadly.

I'm up against it, then he went on.

several fellows, and, before knew il,
got outside of several drinks. Ny boss
is a crank on total abstinence, and if he
gets a Whit of my breath I'll be fired as
sure as fate. Peanuts make the best
breath killer l know of, and I'd buy
some if had a nickel. But I've got only
a cent, and of course I can't

of the peanuts and showing them into
his pocket, III sell you a cents worth
Thanks. Stop again some day He
walked off munching the peanuts and
grinhing with satisfaction. The littl,
episode gave me an idea, and the mex
day got lot of small bags and added
one-cent packages Of peanuts TO my
stock. 1t has made a hit, too, for q
whole lot of people seem TO know abou
the nuts as breath killers. Several o
my customers told me that they didn'
care to buy five cents worth of peanuts
at time, because if they did the,
would eat all of them before they knew

The really up TO date housekeeper
nowadays never folds her tablecloths.

said the incest little woman in the
world the other day. "Those creases
are simply fierce, but it was folded by
mistake, and Nellie doesn't think folds
matter. So she got it on the table, and
when 1 discovered il there was no time
TO change"
We assured her that no creased linen
could mar for moment our JOY in her
salads and croquettes, to say nothing
of her company. "But where do you
put your cloths to keep them fiat?"
asked the prospective bride. "That's
right" chimed in the bachelor uncle.
"PiclS up little pieces of information
where you can. They'll all come in
handy" Nobody paid any attention

TO himself and went on drinking his

"a friend of mine has a different

has rollers fastened on arms which
come down from the ceiling of her linen
closet, and two maids simply take the
cloth and hang it over the curyced
wood. She puts three or four on the
