A Birthday Anniversary.

Upon the occasion of Mr.. T. I. Was
sons fiftieth anniversary few menu
ibers OF the "Old Crowd" assembled
unannounced at the WATSON home on
North Third street Wednesday even
ing to impress upon the youthful Mr..
WATSON the fact that in spite of him
self he was fifty years old and grow
ing older. Mr.. WATSON, who is as youth
full in spirits and apparent physique as
ever, greatly fears the flight of time
more than another by the "Old Crowd"
1T is to unite in a chorus to twit their
fellow member about his dreaded al
fiiction. To atone for the liberties TAX
EN- and as mark Of friendship or sim
ply to add salt to fresh wounds the
victim was presented with fine gold
headed cane to assist him in his de-
sclining years. Then to open a fresh
wound beautiful Marshalltown high
school souvenir spoon was presented
to Mr.. WATSON for his grand child,
son Of Mr. and Mrs. Norris. The high
school spoon was selected to impress
the grandfather with the fact that 1t
would be only few years until his
grandchild would have finished the
high school course and would be bud
ding into manhood. Rev. and Mrs.
S. A. Perrine were present and
Mr.. Perrine made the presenta-
ton speech entering heartily into
the spirit OF the occasion. Mr..
WATSON was too full for utterance
being able only to thank his friends
and to declare that while there We're
r,onv an cold Crowd" member present
long past the fiftieth birthday he knew
that no such anniversary had ever
been more enjoyably celebrated. Mr..
WATSON felt sure that were the grand
child present he would express himself
but in his absence the grandfather
could merely say THANK YOU" Re-
freshments were served after crokinole
and carroms.

COOKS GOLDEN JERUSALEM.
Beautiful and Unique Automaton AZ.
tracts High Glass Of Patronage.

No attraction on the carnival grounds
attracts more attention or wins more
praise from the patrons than Cooks
wonderful automatic city OF Jerusa-
lem. The ingenuity that conceived and
the mechanical skill that executed this
wonderful piece of mechanism come in
for their full share Of praise from those
who watch it's marvellous action. They
see the peopled city of Jerusalem, the
ancient capital OF the Jews, filled with
its every day life. They see artisans
at work, priests in their high seats. the
tempted hills and crooked streets.
They see procession of Jesus and dis
ciples meet the funeral train bearing
the Widows son to the tomb. They
watch the miracle of the master, see
the dead arise and greet his happy
mother. Gates open before the pro-
cessions and close when they have
passed. It is marvel of mechanics, a
replica Of the historic city OF the He
brews of Christ's time, the resurrection
of a scattered people. city saved from
the tooth of time by mechanical genius.
Historically correct, faithful In detail.
No one should fail to visit the Temple
of Jerusalem. Aside from its historic
and religious features the mechanical
excellence of the exhibition is worth
many times the small price paid for
admission.
Tho Great Carnival.
Has already proven itself financially
and otherwise success Last night
you could hardly get room to breathe,
the grounds being so crowded. Hun
dreds of people stood outside the door
of the show where THE Statue Turning
to Life" is to be seen, waiting to gain
admission. This show seems to attract
almost every one that goes on the
ground as they make bee line from
the gate to the door of the show. 1t is
certainly deserving of its great success.
1t is quite a society fad for parties of
ten or more to attend in a body. There
are also several other go-l attractions
on the grounds, but this one seems to
take lead.
