AT THE CAKE WALK.
Good Audience and Lots of
Amusement.

A very large crowd attended the
cake walk given at the opera house
last night by some of Vinita's
young people for the benefit of the
base ball team and to say il was 8
grand success in every particular.
would be putting it too mildly, the
receipts being something over $50.
There were eight couples in the
walk. After the grand march
came the walk for the cakes, CON-
mencing with number one and on
down to number eight. Couple
number FIVE, Sam Cobb and Mrs.
Frank Burckhslter, won first
cake and couples number one and
seven tied on second prize. 1t
was decided by the judges to have
numbers one and seven walk off"
the tie, which was done, number
one winning. Lewyn Crockett and
Mrs. John Crockett were couple
number one and Benson Crockett
and Miss Fannie, Knight number
seven. During the evening Mrs.
Burckhalter and Miss Ironside
favored the audience with q duet.
The dancing by Benson Crockett
was good" Master Willie Vehre-
man done the cake walk TO the de-
light of the audience. Taking it
as whole the entertainment
was success and reflects much
credit on Vinita's young amateur
cake walkers.

The Fascination of Gold Hunting.

Once you have seen ''color" in the
bottom of pan with the black sand
following it around like a faithful serv-
ant, you can never again be deceived
by the false glitter of any other parti-
cles. You would know it if You saw it
between cobblestones in Broadway or
if it We're no larger than a pinhead at
the bottom of trout pool
For the moment the yellow pile makes
you feel like seeking claim of your
own and harvesting its treasure for
yourself. But when you look at the
miry path along the base of the noun
tain by the creek side and think of fol-
lowing it with pack on your back I'M
til it is no more and wilderness be-
gins; think of passing on over the
mountains until you come to what you
consider a likely place and thawing
through 80 feet of earth at the rate of
foot day in the haphazard possibili-
ty of finding pay dirt, you conclude
that the poetry of the thing can be bet
ter appreciated by sitting on some one
else's dump. = Frederick Palmer in
