The friends and neighbors or Mrs.
w. q. Wilson of Audubon township,
determined to give her a surprise
party last Wednesday evening, the
occasion being her 54th birthday
anniversary and repairing to her
nome unannounced gave a gentle
knock on the door which was
promptly opened and much to her
surprise in marched about sixty of
her relatives, friends and neigh
bors. The surprise was planned by
Mrs. Ed. Wilson of Anita, and
proved success in every partic-
ular. Mr.. Wilson was found smok-
ing his favorite Havana, and Mrs.
Wilson was engaged in her
domestic duties, when the company
were admitted. When settled for
the evening conversation ensued,
excellent music was rendered, Mrs.
Byrd Benson organist and Charley
Cotton tenor. While these enter
talnments were in progress a
committee was busily at work in
the kitchen preparing the dainties
and delicacies which had been
prepared and in due time supper
was announced to which all paid
their respects. After supper Mrs.
Wilson was invited into the parlor,
where she was presented with many
fine presents one being very fine
arm rocker to which she was con-
Quoted and seated. Mrs. Wilson in
neat little speech thanked all the
company for the nice presents she
had received, and assured them
this was one of the happiest
occasions in her life. At 2 o'clock
a. M, after wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson many more returns of the
same kind, the guests departed for
their several homes.

Late Literary News.

Can a woman give to another
woman the answering loyalty
which an ideal friendship should
exact? Will a woman be faithful to
her friend not merely while she is
her friend, but after? If for any
reason, jealousy or envy or the
poison of suspicion part the two,
will each be loyal to the past, keep
it's secrets and respect it's obliga-
tons? If ever two men who have
once been friends wear out their
friendship and perhaps exchange
it for opeu ennity, they still respect
the tie that has been broken. For
the future, they will strike as hard
as they are able, but in doing so
they will not violate their old friend
ship, nor use the opportunities
which it gives them for inflicting
pain-but is this the case with
oman? Does honor mean the
same to a man as to woman?
These are some Of the questions
which Rafford Pyke asks in the
article he contributes to the Novem-
Der Cosmopolitan on what Women
Like in Women"

Adair IL, Extra o.

The above score is the result of
the Adair-EXira football contest on
the Adair gridiron last Saturday.
The "sluggers from the hills" sure
ly kept up their names if three dis
abled men from here is any evil
dence of slugging. The only HUI
initiating thing to Extra is that
they let one man beat them. Adair
had half-back from one of the col
leges who simply run around every
body and played the whole game.
Our boys held them every time
on their line smashing but when it
came to end runs their wiley pro-
fessional played the tricks common
to trained teams and our boys were
in soup factory of measurable
dimensions. There are some things
hard to understand however. Our
boys had no referee with them and
chose an Adair man who gave de-
cisions that were some times
against his will, but he had to favor
the nome team some. 1t is hard to
understa d some of the set
backs given our boys and too
to know just how any impartial
referee could allow our foot ball
leau " uolu the AGAR Tor SIX
downs within less than six feet of
the Adair goal and not allow our
boys to have the ball.
The Adair team refuse to come
over to Extra and play Thanks
giving day. They have an even
break tor games now and a third
would show which is master but
they have had enough unless Extra
pays expenses and $75 the price of a
good professional or two, and our
team won't do that.

Last Friday son and heir came
to the editor and wife. We have
felt strangely lost to tell how to in
form our readers of the fact. We
have felt that the platitudes so COM
mon have been used too often. We
accept the little fellow however
with fear and trembling. The fear
is caused by the visions of Sleep
less nights and sounds of unspoken
cuss words, attacks that may fall in
our weary pathway at night, that
our friends have been careful to de-
scribe as our lot. We tremble for
fear that our subscriptions will not
pour in fast enough to fill our cof-
fers, so as to support him. But he
is here and we rejoice in the fact.

strains of music from the piano.
An excellent collation. was served.
The little lady was the recipient of

mind will revert back to the day of
long ago, the days of "Auld Lang
