Bachelors Picnic.

Some OF the young men of the
town organized themselves into
Bachelors Club" and entertained
the ladies of the INV Club" last
Friday, with a bachelors picnic, in.
the Walter Temple woods, south of
town. Everyone seemed to vie with
the other in seeing which could
have the most fun and as a result
everyone enjoyed themselves. AS
evening time came on the boys
spread a repast suce as men who
ask no price can set forth. There
was pastry from Donaldson's who,
by the way, furnishes such things
for all the picnics and parties, and
ice cream, chicken and such things
from Keelan's, fruit, berries, every
thing one could wish. The feast
was spread on table brought for
the purpose. After supper great
camp fire was kindled, and sitting
in the fire light the boys gave their
toasts, and with mirth and music
the time passed quickly until pale
Luna shone over the distant tree
tops when they loaded up and re-
luctantly started home. The bach
elors present were: Doctor Laurit-
zen, Chas. BRENNAN, of Audubon;
Fred Cotton, Claude Andrews, C. b.
Nellis, Henry Rohwer and C. w.
Marlin. "The IXV's" were Mollie
Delahoyde, Mamie Tanner, Anna
Braun, Florence Rathbun, Rachel
Bodey, Lottie Bennett, Miss Lucille

not far from the front. One Of the

The Rheubens, after much hard
blutfing, succeeded in getting the
business men INTO a game of base
ball, Wednesday afternoon, and are
now sorry that they spoke. There
are several ways of being sorry,
you know. Sometimes we are sorry
that we did a thing, because we got
beaten, and sometimes because we
beat so bad we feel ashamed. We
can't say which this is, for the
editor who engineered the business
men refused to report, and even left
town, whether from chagrin at de-
feat or because he defeated we could
not elicit from him. A little boy
called us out to one side and report
ed to us as he saw it, and as he look
ed honest we give it as he told it:
The business men ran over each
other to get to play. Some even got
angry because they were left out.
Finally they fixed it up by agreeing,
that if the fellows who were left out
could rattle the Rheubens they
were to receive half the glory. Then
the fun began. The business men
hit the ball every time they did not
miss it. They chased each other
from plate to plate every chance
they got. They famed every Rheu-
ben that they could. They caught
every fly that they did not mutf. In
fact they played superbly. They
put in new players every inning,
the others having tired out chasing.
the ball We would give the score
if we could find the score keeper,
but we understand he lost it. But
one side beat and the other lost.

Il boarded the car with six other pas

suburban end of the road on one of the
late trips. The car had gone a short
distance when the conductor began to
collect the fares. The Italian was on
the rear seat and his money was col
lected last. Everything went we'll for
about half mile, when the Italian
Jumped to his feet and waved his
hands at the conductor. The conductor
went to the excited man and asked him
what the trouble was. The Italian
said:
Me wanta my fiva centa back
THE conductor told him that he
could not have the money. The Italian
insisted:
centa; me nc got
The conductor grasped the situation
at once, and, seeing that he was ac-
cused of 'nickeling. started to clear
himself. He showed the Italian that
there were seven passengers on the
car and that that number Of fares We're
registered. He also explained why the
Italian did not get any music for his
nickel. He said:
While collecting the fares in the
front part of the car l rang up one
fare too much, and If rang up yours
would be out cents
While this explanation was going on
the man from Italy was still shouting
for his 'fiva centa.' and did not stop
until he got off the car farther down.

children of Saint Boniface Catholic
School, of this city, last Thursday
evening, under the supervision of
the Sisters of the school, is pro-
nounced by those who attended as
being one of the very best of its
kind ever seen in this city. The
scholars all showed that they had
been drilled by master hands, and
and did their parts in elegant style.
The drama, "BreezyPoint," was
we'll rendered and seemed to catch
the fancy of the audience, as the
actors were encored to the echo.
Forty-fve dollars was taken in at
the door for which the Sisters and
everyone connected with the school
