THE SOCIAL SIDE.

A farewell social was given Monday
evening at the Congregational church by
her numerous friends to Miss Mary
Lusher, previous to her departure for

Amos sang. Refreshments were served
and a most pleasant evening was passed
by all.

with great kindness the insane and the
feeble minded, believing that they would
be punished for any injury TO persons 50
unfortunate General Strong tells how this
belief of the Indians enabled Prof. Hayden,

started in search OF them Seeing some
men on horseback. and suppOsing that they
were his friends. he rode toward them, but
to his horror discovered that they were
Indians.
R2owing that he was in the country OF
hostiles, he turned his horse and attempt
ed to escape. But his saddlebags and everv
pocket were fun to overlooking. as was also
the tin box containing bugs and insects
which hung at his side. Thus Handicapped
he made but poor headWay. The Indians
soon overlook him, and in sign language
ordered him to dismount.
