Dedication of the New Live Stock
Pavilion at Des Moines.

Monday, August 18th, at 1:3O p. M,
is the time set for the dedication of the
new Live Stock Pavilion. On this oc-
casion our U. S. senators, Dolliver and
Allison, together with our congress-
men, state officers and members of, the
legislature will be present and a SPLEEN
did program has been arranged.
Iowa has always had pride in her
stock raising, but has never had OPP
portunity to show it up to the best adj
vantage until this year.
The Live Stock Pavilion and stock
barns just completed on the state fair
grounds make it possible to hold the
greatest live stock show in America,
and the entries already recorded
strongly substantiate this claim.
Plan on going to the state fair this
fall, and by all means attend on Mon
day, the big day. Write the secretary
for book telling about the fair.

Folks Who Would Rather See and
BE Seen Than Eat.
"That woman will make kick be.
fore her order is filed" said a head
waiter at an uptown restaurant one
evening, pointing to well dressed wo.
man who sat with an elderly man at
one OF the small tables in the palm
garden.
How do you know? the guest
asked.
; well, you see, she comes here to
rubber and she came too early. The
only way she can fill time is to find
fault with what is being served. We
have lots of customers Of that kind
They dress up in their very best clothes
and come here just before the theate1
crowd arrives. They come to see and
to be seen and care mighty little about
what they have to eat.
sit is fun to see the way they kill
time when they come early. An old
trick is to get table and then say:
we won't order yet. We're waiting
for some one. Some one never comes,
and finally the order for some raw oys-
tiers or salad is given, and if we serve
them quickly the waiter gets a small
tip. If the waiter loafs and serves
all the others first, his tip is larger.
They nibble and fuss over their little
luncheon, and the man in the party
usually smokes his cigar to the bitter
end before the rubber party breaks
mp. There, l told you that woman
would kick. Do you see the club sand
witch going back? 1t is probably too
cold or too hot, but it's neither. 1t is
simply too soon. The rubber guest is
a great find for the slow waiter. He
is the only guest who puts a premium
on slow service. New York Tribune.

Thos. II. BoyIan Surprises Friends

Mr.. Thomas III. Boylan, clerk in the
office of the state railway commission,
who went to Armour, S. D., recently
to attend large family reunion, con-
tributed one of the features of the oc-
casion by leading bride to the altar
at the home of his brother, Hon. B. T..
Boylan, of Armour. The bride was
Miss Bessie Robinson, daughter of
Mrs. Alexander Robinson. who resides
at 1882 Capital Avenue, Des Moines.
She has been employed as an expert
art printer by the Iowa Lithographic
Co. until recently
When Mr.. Boylan went to Armour
over week ago he was accompanied
by his sister, Mrs X. F. Birch, of Hud-
son, Michigan, and his little daughter
Grace. In the party was Miss Robin
son, for it had been previously ar
ranged that the nuptials were to take
place in Armour. On last Saturday
evening at $50 O'clock the wedding
took place in the presence of a large
number of relatives. The marriage
service was pronounced by Rev. Geo.
Bentor and the little seven year-old
niece of the groom played the we'd
ding march.
The bridal couple were unattended,
save for the little daughter of the
groom, who preceded her father and
his bride to altar. The bridal party
stood upon floor strewn with Dakota
grown roses which grow in great pro-
fusion in the door yards of Armour.
The affair was very quiet and the
bride and groom accompanied by Mrs.
Birch and little Miss Boylan left for
Dow City, Iowa, to visit the BRIDES
sister.
Mr.. Boylan is in Des Moines for a
day or two and announced his mar
riage to his surprised friends today. He
will join his wife and daughter at Dow
City Saturday and accompany them
to Hudson, Michigan, for a short trip
after which he and his bride will re.
turn to Des Molnes. Daily Capital.
