The event Of the week was the hand
kerchief sale by the Episcopal ladies at
the Post Office yesterday. The display
was really fine. The contributions came
from far and near, and largely from for
mer residents and VISITORS. and one of
the very pleasing features was that SO
many of the contributors sent letters ex-
pressing the most kindly memories of
the old town and its people. We append

known here, with their present places OF

This list is not intended as complete,
but rather 10 show how varied are the
sources, and incidentally, where some of
these old friends now live. The follow
ing is a specimen of the notes accom-
panying the gifts. Very many would be
of interest to the public but of course
were only intended for private reading,
as doubtless was the one we take the
liberty of printing.
Enclosed please find some handkerchiets,
They are not much. we know,
But they may serve the purpose
For North Dakota blow.
We hope that they may wipe away
The tears OF those who fret;
And, also-more important,
Help to wipe away the debt.
Mrs. J. G. WEBB.

In the bazaar there were handkerchiefs
of all sorts. sizes, shapes, colors and tex
lures. For example, there was dainty
Japanese given by Lady Schultz widow
of Sir John Schultz, late Governor of
Manitoba, then two handkerchiefs from
Mexico, through the kindness of Mrs. L.
Booker and Miss Florence Cavileer.
Another noteworthy one was given to
Mrs. Lawton, (nee Miss Annie McKenzle)
by General Funston, now the hero of the
hour in New York city. 1t is gauze,
the material woven from the pineapple
fibre and the embroidery by a Filipino
woman, and is dishnctively Filipino
work, brought specially to us from the
capturer of Aguinaldo, and to which his
autograph is attached, just as it was given
to Mrs. Lawton.
In order that everybody may have an
equal chance in obtaining this prize it
has been decided to offer it to the high
est bidder at the ensuing entertainment
on May-day. Many others are worthy
of description, but space forbids.

TRAGEDY
Tonight our stock has fallen somewhat low.
Our schemes seem lowered to a losing pitch;
Tonight to losing game must we bestow
Solemn and sad, requiem, to the ditch.
