Watched the Old Century out.

The entertainment at the X p. hal
Monday night was nice affair Owing &c
the very cold weather and some sickness
there were not as many in attendance as
expected and the program was some
what disarranged in consequences. The
Misses Frick, Miss Doak Mrs Ed Bill
harz, Mrs Leet and others volunteered
and greatly helped out the musical part
OF the entertainment

happy in his remarks in the different in.

OF time to prepare.
X. c. Rice's response to The Nine

vein Of which he is master Rob has a
serious countenance when saving his
outlandish things which lends mystiti.

hearers TO founder through mental sur.
prises to arrive at the facts, His pre-
sentation Of the great historical events
OF the century was very original
Ed s. Van Gorder, in speaking on
''The Twentieth Century" showed an ex-
celIent style. Logic and humor and
imagination worked along harmoniously.
There was plenty OF room for imagina-
ton and speculation and he employed it.
The prophesies he made were bold, es-
pecially as to the condition of Audubon
in the future, her public park, and her
limit of population. His theories as to
the future food preparations and their
influence on domestic economy entered
deeply into speculative philosophy and
made a profound impression on his
hearers.
Miss Lands gave variety to the pro.
gram by rendering two rec;tations in
her original and able way. One was
THE Royal Bumpers" and related the
experience OF contact with the lodge
goat when pepper was sprinked on his
:ordships beard, and the other was
The Accommodating Waiter.boy," who
telephoned in the name of the Rev. -.
Then came an excellent supper served
by the Talbot and Rice restaurants,
few remarks by different members, a lit
tie waiting, and the entire audience sang
praise God from Whom All Blessings
Flow" as the new century came in.
