these outward facts and appearances

bird arranges things in a way accord

FlFTY-EiGHT YEARS OF AGE,
Mrs. Il. W. Lord Pleasantly Surprised by
Her Neighbors.

Hci NelSnUOfS.
On the 14th of this month (Noyem.
ber) Mrs. n. W. Lord reached the 5Stb
milestone of her existence in this life
and some of her neighbors thought
that this event should not GO by unno-
ticed. Accordingly the following
ladies, near neighbors, congregated at
the home of Mrs. A. L. Fontaine for
the purpose of planning a surprise
MeSdames. W. E. Little, Orrin and
Albert Gray, B. O'Day, D. E. Carey,
n. Reiland, James Miller, Peter
Christman, Kate Townsend, E. C.
Smith, A. L. Fontaine and Mrs. Van
Eta. At 3 O'Clock in the afternoon
they filed in through the back door of
the home and found Mrs. Lord very
busy ironing. She threw up her arms
in surprise and surrendered. 1t re-
quired several minutes for her to
recover, when she opened up the house
TO them and gave them possession of
everything. A more social, genial
gathering of neighbors could not have
been found anywhere and a very pleas
ant afternoon and evening was passed.
At six O'Clock supper was spread suit
able for kings, as well as Lords, which
was partaken of by all with relish
that proved high compliment to the
cook.
Such gatherings are promotive of
more friendly feelings among neigh
bors and friends than if they never
took place. 1t is informal meetings
like these that go to make good blood
and extend longevity. We commend
them.

Present Day thoughts by "GroSvenor.

Nineteenth Century Knighthood-
| A knight OF old, with couched lance,
gathering through present day streets
| would be laughed at as sort of tin
pot hypocrite. His heroics would look
rldlculOuS-Our catechiSm would
beWllder him. Do you produce any
thing-do you hold life sacred-do you
really honor woman as your helpmate?
By my Halidame, he would say in
surprise, my churls do the work that
produces, my arms are trained and
ready to kill my prowess against men is
my honor among women until my lady
is won: then enclose her in my castle
to work, to wait, and to be ignorant.
1t makes the heart sick to think of
the millions of wOe-begOne, dirt
begrimed SerfS who formed an unhOn-
ored, down-troGden platform whereon
chivalry could dispOrt itself. The
olden, golden knight was too often a
quarrelsOme rascal whose deeds were
simply those OF a refined savage
The ideals of chivalry were pale
ruShlightS beside the simplest ideals
CT the simplest men who love and
honor freedom. We have changed the
measure of man since then. We
now know that the untoiliDg, unspin-
ming classes have no monopoly of
knightliness. The gifts of the rich to
the poor are less in total value and
infinitely less in proportion than the
charities Of the poor towards each
other. We now know that the best
glories Of our human nature do not
flourish under the false ideas that
chivalry taught regarding prOweSs,
honor, ease and wealth. oelf-forget-
fulness, persistent endeavOr, and
kindness are most endangered by
such a system.
The domestic virtues of truth,
simplicity, and of gentIeness towards
all-but chiefly towards those who
are weak-are more to be eXtUlled
than either the veneer of culture or
the hypocrisy of honor, falsely so
called. The everyday knight of the
present wears no livery except the
livery of soul that makes him the
servant of all. He winds no resound-
ing horn, he deals no death to the
passer-by. his steed champs no foaming
bit; but he is nevertheless every inch
d knight. His grimy hand is on the
throttle to stay until Death looSens it.
He is in the engine room to save
others before he himself attempts to
leave. He is the blue-coated care
taker and guide for timorous women
and children on our crowded city
street. He is the hero of the ladder
when flames imperil those who have
no shadow of claim upon him, except
that of knightly humanity. Not
alone in those public ways does he
serve. He is the patient toiler on
hillside and in factory. Clad in over
alls or in the height of fashion he is
convinced that the test of our modern
knighthood is this-whether he is
doing the thing he is best fitted for
in the way that is best for those now
here and those yet to come.
The knights of old were scattered
sparsely; the knight of today is along
every pathway, visible to those who
have the eyes to see him.

GRAND RAPIDS y, TOMAH 0.
Fifty Rooters Came in Special Car to See
Old Score Reversed,

Howe High school football team of
Grand Rapids went to Tomah October
Il ana was nicely beaten by the high
school eleven of that city, score % to O.
The return game was played in Grand
Rapids Saturday afternoon and the
result Was again - to 0. but the
credits were exactly reversed. Tomah
got the zero and the home PLAYERS
piled up %.
The early morning train north over
the Milwaukee road Saturday brought
special car well filled with enthu-
Siastic roOters from Tomah. They
marched into town with cOlOrs flying
high, confident of victory on the basis
of the easy winning in Tomah three
weeks before. But at the close of that
game down the line, Supt. Hambrecht
had promised Howe High school an
oyster supper if they would defeat
Tomah when the return contest was
played. OF course Captain Loves
punterS like oysters, and the real
measure of their appetites for the
Shelled sea fruit is best evidenced by
their vigorous game on Saturday.
There was no let up to mass plays, end
runs. line bucking and thorough team
pushing until the enemy was COM
pletely vanquished and the oyster sup
per was sure thing. The treat was
given at the New Central hotel Mon
day evening as a favor from Supt.
Hambrecht, Prof. Blynd and Archie
Bennett. Tomah accepted it's defeat
good natuIedly and the team, accom-
panied by most of the visitors, returned
home on the noon train, the game
having been played in the forenoon to
make these connections possible.
Among the TOmah people in Grand
Rapids for the game we note the fol-
lowing:
Prof. C. H. Mason, Prof. Milne,
Harry Spaulding, Misses Emma Earl,
Adeline Kiefer, Jessie Sias, teachers:

THE FINAL RITES.
Long Funeral Train Followed Remains of
Mrs. Reinhart to Calvary Cemetery.

"'S' 'S'iiho'N ~ SCIUCtCf1
The funeral of Mrs. Maggie
Reinhart of Rudolph, held at the
Catholic church in Grand Rapids last
Friday morning at 10 O'Clock, was one
of the largest ever witnessed in the
twin cities. Rev. A. Van Sever of
Rudolph, pastor for many years in the
church regularly attended by deceased,
conducted the last sad ceremony
More touching and more impressive
rites are seldom attended, and the
great religious editice Oh Main street
was filled to the doors by friends
bowed down with the most tender
sympathy for the relatives in the hour
of trial, and with the most bitter grief
for her who so suddenly had been
called, by Him who doeth all things
well, to place in the city of gold.
Dainty floral offerings, great in
beauty but greater still in meaning,
were prOfuSe about the caSket, tokens
sent by multitude of acquaintances.
The procession of carriages accom-
panying the remains to the city of the
dead was unusually lengthy, and the
entire service bespoke a marked
tribute of respect from many people
to one of their number dearly beloved,
highly respected and sincerely
mOurned.
The pallbearers were MesSrS. W. H.
Carey, Jasper Crotteau, F. L. Rourke,
L. NJ. Nash, G. W. Mason and Frank
Dudley.
The mourners present at the funeral
from abroad were: Mrs. w. E. Bert

Orient, South Dakota: P. Hinchey,
Lewiston, Illinois; Mrs. James Luft,
Miss Kathryn Luft, Madison: Mrs. J.
