BARRIERS APPLE PARTY.

The people of the little village of Pleasant
Prairie played the guessing game when the
invitations to the EpwOrth League social were
issued, and twas finally decided that 1.-The b.
A. P'' must stand for Barter's Apple Party;
but the IL. A. P.'' and the IN. a. P" were
left to be solved at the "B A. P
The cold weather had very little effect on the
attendance, and Mr.. Barriers roomy house was
full In honor of the day, Feb. 22nd, the house
was prettily decorated with flags, while line
large picture of ''The Father OF His Country
hung in a prominent place in the sitting
room
Mrs. Barter had pleasant surprise in store
for her guests, in the presence or hef 1atner,
Uncle Sam Houston.
When the company had assembled cards
were distributed bearing letter and num-
Der. The letters on the cards OF the same
number, when properly arranged, spelled the
name of an apple, and each groupi was re-
quested to write poem on the apple which
it's cards spelled. AS a reward for their skill
in verse making the B. A. P. would be given
for the best poem, the L. A. P. for the poorest,
and w, A P. for all the rest.
Thirty minutes was the time allowed the
amateur poets, then their productions were
collected and turned over to the judges. Dr..
Eastman, T. L. Carpenter and Miss Reynolds,
acting as judges, decided that the Following
poem on the Greening was the best. The Rus
set was aclose second.
G. is for Greening which we represents
P. is for pleasure on which we are bent,
Also for prize which we shall possess
On account of this poem which is success.
When we get the pie which all wish to win,
We shall eat all of it though it may be sim
AS YOU look the crowd DER you'll know by our
faces
That number three Greening is first in all
places.
Please excuse the conceit which we display,
We did not intend you should take it that way
We were only intent on taking the prize
And eating it all before every ones eyes
The reward the Big Apple Pie, consisted of
three hundred cubic inches of hrSt-claSS apple
pie. sa~t
The poem which won the very Little Apple
Pie was this verse on the Spy:
That big apple pie
Just suits my eye
And if don't get it
III surely die.
No apple pie was given to the other aspir-
ants, but they were consoed when apples and
bananas by the peck were served to them and
the rest of the guest.
The two poems were read aloud sam1d much
laughter and all went ito their homes we'll
satisfied with Barters Apple Party.
Report says that 1.-The dog" captured and
ate the major portion of the big pie. Anyway,
it was adog's trick to rob the victors of their
we'll earned spoils. -
However, the social committee assures us
that when next they give a social they IL have
