Is old and young people went to the
pleasant home Of Mr. and Mrs. Adam
Sahlberg, in the town of Marsh
Grove. The party took possession Of
the house before the inhabitants hard
.ly were aware Of what was going on.
It looked for a little time as Mr.. Sahl-
berg's large building was not UP to
the occasion, and Mr.. Sahlberg said if
he had known beforehand thatso many
people would come he would have
built the house still larger. But after
everything was settled down some
what it showed that there was plenty
room for all. One Of the party, in a
few words on behalf of the intruders,
presented Mr.. and Mrs. Sahlberg with
a very nice table, ETC., and said it was
only a small token by which to re-
member the occasion. After Mr..
Sahlberg had somewhat got over the
surprise he was taken by, he expressed
his and Mrs. Sahlberg's thanks and
said this was a moment he would long
remember, and asked every body to be
at home. One Of the rooms was then
put in order, and the musicians soon
were at their work and rendered such
music as to make the young land a
few old) to dance at very lively gait.
AT one o'clock the ladies took hand
il the proceedings, as they had before
leaving home not forgotten to fill their
baskets full with all kinds Of delicious
refreshments. This was passed
around and the party partook to their
hearts taste. The occasion which
will long be remembered did not
break up before towards the morning,
everybody going home satisfied with
having spent one Of the happiest eve

Land contesting seems to be the
general conversation nowadays,
yet we must admit that it is a good
thing as none have been contested
who have not failed to live up to the
requirements OF the homestead law,
and many fellows who have been
loafng around doing little ornothing
are beginning to make some improve
ments, which is a credit to our
country
One OF the most outrageous things
ever done in these parts is going on
now-being the removal Of Ware
postoffice to August Olson's place,
which is away off to one side Of the
settlement, and no roads to get
there on either. Should there be an
other wet summer, we fear the town
will be compelled to build pontoon
bridge unless some ingenious can in
vent a flying machine which he can
put into practical use.

Shakespeare Is an Education.

The matter of supreme Importance
In Shakespeare's works is his concep-
ton of life and the noble art in which
it is embodied. To live with the poet
in familiar intercourse, by constant
reading with an open mind and heart,
responsive to the power and sensitive
to the beauty which penetrate and in
form the plays, is to receive from him
the most searching influence and the
deepest pleasure. The end of art is to
deepen and intensity the sense of life,
and this end is missed when one be-
comes absorbed in the study of Ian
guage, form, conditions and circum-
stances. Some knowledge of these
things is essential, but the emphasis
of interest and of study ought to rest
on the indivisible soul and body of a
work of art.-Hamiton w. Mabie in

A superstitious Woman.

u don't say that women are more
superstitious than men," said a well
known bachelor, "but a lady I know
did thing the other day on account Of
foolish superstition that no man I
am acquainted with would have done.
1t happened the day it rained so hard.
The lady lives near Lincoln park, and
she had some business at the Center
market. She had gone only few steps
from her house when she discovered
that she had forgotten her pocketbook
and did not have as much as a penny
in her pocket.
'Did she go back? Not much. Her
superstition was that it was the height
of bad luck to turn back after once
leaving the house until your errand
was completed. So she kept religiously
on her way and, not having car fare,
walked over two miles in the cold rain,
when she might have spared herself all
the self imposed hardships by simply
walking back few feet into the house.
She got wringing wet and lost her tenn
per completely. but she successfully Ito
her own mind at leasG avoided the pos
sfbility of placing herself under the
