A Pleasant Party.

A jolly party was given last evening
by Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Mel. Richards in
honor of Mr.. Richards sister, Miss Flos-
sic. A large bonfire was built near the
edge of the pond in front of the house
and nearly all the guests enjoyed an
hours skating. On account OF the recent
warm weather the ice was thin but the
skating was kept up until the ice gave
way and several got thorough wetting.
The party then adjourned to the house
where the balance of the evening was
spent with fun and music. A character
musical guessing contest was one OF the
features of the evening, each one wear
ing something to represent an opera,
song, cantata or any well known must cal
composition. Miss Jean Cameron &C.
cured first prize and Edgar Gum second.
An elegant lunch was served in the din
ing room, after which the floor was
cleared for dancing. All pronounced it
a complete success and wished Miss
Flossie many returns OF the day.

Wonderful Display Of Grit.

George, the 15-yearold son Of 0. Y.
Carpenter, had a very exciting expert
ence one day the latter part OF last week.
When about to pass over the railroad
crossing near the Beck place north of
town with team and wagon he noticed
freight train approaching and deemed
it wise to wait until after it had passed.
The horses became unmanageable and
started to run along the embsnkment
parallel with the track. The wagon was
overturned and the box was struck by
the passing train, smashing it to splint-
ers. The boy, still holding to his lines,
was hurled against passing freight car,
but the horses in the meantime had got
ten away from the wagon and pulled the
lad away from the train. With q Won
derful display of grit, bruised as he was,
George held 10 the horses until he quiet
ed them, and then took the team home.
Those who witnessed the incident say it
is miracle that the boy and horses es-
capped, the latter coming out of the fra
cas- without q scratch.

be Of most elaborate order, and all Of

trio and mechanical effects will add
beauty to the production.

Exercise Is absolutely necessary
to the woman who would be beau
tiful. and the winds should not keep
her indoors n single day. She should
walk from one to five miles at a
brisk pnce, and she will feel repaid
for the trouble of putting on her
rainy-day skirts and her stout boots,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. A
damp or rainy morning is really re-
freshing, for the moisture in the air
is like q tonic to the skin. Did you
ever notice how clear most complex
ions look on a raing day? It must
be remembered that man is an out
door animal, and that in the savage
state he seeks shelter only under
stress of severe storm or great cold.
The customs of civilization are re-
sponsiblc for many ills and for the
necessity of taking extreme care OF
the body. Indian women do not
bother about baths or their complex
ion, but IL must be remembered that
their clothing is loose, that their di-
gestions are nnimpaired by highly
seasoned delicacies, and that they
perspire so freely the skin is kept
healthy.

years ago, consulted the Brighton
sibyl on their matrimonial prospects

difference?" said the girls in amaze
ment. "That cannot tell you,

say that one of the girls married,

married a duke-a Mr.. Duke. And,
oh, the difference to her!

There is u harmonious side to the
foreign troubles in China, The CHIEF
engineers of the railway that is be.
ing built through Shang-tung prov
ince by the Germans complained to
tatotoi, or local governor, that the
people pulled up and CARED off the
stakes that his surveyors had driven
into the ground toguide the construc-
tion gangs in grading the right OF
way, so that he had been compelled
to do the work over two or three
times, relates the Chicago Record.
The tatotoi promised that the mis-
chief should stop, and said that he
would give the matter his personal
attention. The surveyors went over
the line again and marked it out
carefully with wooden pegs. When
they came back few weeks later
they were Disguised to find that
every peg of the markers for miles
had disappeared. The chief engineer
in the heat Of his wrath rushed to
the tatotoi to make complaint, and
the latter with smile that was
childlike and bland, attempted to
soothe him, saying:
"The stakes are all right, every
one of them; 1 had my men go and
take them all up and keep them safe.
ly until you returned, and I have
got them tied up in bundles for
you"
The letter which brings this in-
teresting anecdote all the way from
relates that the engineer
grabbed the mandarin by the throat
and nearly shook his head off, al
though the latter had done what he
supposed to be q great favor with
the best Of intentions.
