The entertainment given for the
benefit of the school at Mt. Idaho,
on Saturday evening, was decided
ly big success. People taking
advantage of the excellent sleigh
ing were present from all parts of
the country for miles around. and
the spacious hall was crowded to
it's utmost capacity. The three
act drama, entitled "Border
Land" produced by home talent,
under the able management Of
Prof Nercler and Miss Matilda
Gerhardt, given at the end of the
entertainment, kept the house in
a continuous roar of applause, or
thrilling element as the respec-
tive roles of comedy and tragedy
were produced by the amateurs in
a manner that many professionals
might vainly hope to equal. *
Fred Jansen. of Cottonwood,
was severely used up in the
cold snap last week. He
was in poor health and could not
attend to his own fire, SO he started
for neighbors, wearing only rub
Der boots; while on the road his
feet were frozen aud he discarded
his footwear and proceeded bare
foot. His condition is very serious
and it is feared that in any event
he may have to have both feet am
putated and may die from the adj
venture.
Marion Worden, an old-timer in
these parts, has returned from
Klondike. and is visiting relatives

over the union, has been sadly
neglected the past few years owing
to the abuses that crept in, through
fellows whose ideas Of social pro-
priety were in the chrysalis stage.
It's disappearance has been mourn
ed by many society people, and the
announcement that 8 quartet Of
young ladies would receive in

element. The Misses Maud Wyatt

the young ladies and partake OF

" S HAS BEEN the custom for
FL several years, most OF the So
rial interests of holiday week
81 centres In the Bachelors ball.
This season, more than at any
time in the past, the enthusiasm over
this beautiful event Is deepened. Many
incidents contribute to the exceptional
interest. There are many new faces
at the door, bright and winsome, with
the rare charm of unjaded nerves and
the fine expectancy of untasted joys.
Then there are always new gowns to

such as the Bachelors. The commit
tee this year contains several members
who have had past experience of the
same kind and who know well how to
avoid any disadvantages which might
arise. 1t is composed of A. q. Hunt.
Mortimer u. Fuller, Theodore $. Fuller,
James Blair jr., c. II. Welles, jr. Mr..
Hunt is chairman.
The patronesseS are: Mrs. James

The Bachelors have finally settled
on a device which appears on the at
tractive invitations and is repeated on
pins worn by the members. 1t is sim
ply embossed on the paper and repre-
sents an owl "couchant" and grasping a
key "prone." Just what all this por-
tends is not divulged by the Bachelors.
Doubtless the owl typifies the wisdom
of the members in having eluded mat
rimony. 1t is also n bird that is up
very late at night, likewise it takes
life rather seriously and you never
know it's real opinion of you There
may be other points OF similarity be-
tween the owl and the Bachelor. 1t
cannot be that the owl prefers to wear
many chains instead Of one as has been
said of the Bachelor: neither would
YOU assert that the Bachelor always
prefers to perch under his own anCes-
trail roof tree
Of course. the significance of the key
Is evident. The Bachelor has one to all
doors, for society could not get on
without him and he knows il. Then it
rs the emblem of his freedom which
he proudly flaunts in the faces of the
enslaved with the intimation that there
IS nobody to ask him what time he
came in last night.
To certain degree the general plans
observed at the ball last year will be
repeated. The Thirteenth Regiment
armory will he draped and decorated
in the same way, but with even more
elaboration Of detail. The dancing
