BY THE EAGLES
Evening of Music, Dam
cling and Pie.
Novel and Unique in Its Conception,
Pleasant and Successful in
Execution.


order last night at the apple pie social
given by the Eagles. The social was
not an elaborate affair, and in fact
was never intended as such but was
purely informal intended solely for an
evening of social intercourse among
the members of the order, and their
friends. Instead of having the wives
of the members bake cakes, at consid-
cradle expense, each married man was
requested to bring pie and it was
stipulated that it should be an apple
pie.
Well such an array of pies as the re-
quest brought forth one seldom sees.
More pies might be seen, but no great
er variety probably was ever assem-
bled in one group. There we're about
sixty pies in all and each separate one
was pie of its own kind, no two being
alike in make up, and in all proba-
bility not in composition either. As
to the latter point, not having sam
pied all of them, nor even one of
them. the writer can not state posi-
lively. 1t was remarked by those who
saw the collection that they never i'm
agined that pies could be manufac-
tured in so many different ways as to
! appearance as was noticed last even
ing.
As they we're all home made-pies
like your mother used to make" it
goes without saying that they we're all
good, and even with the serving of a
quarter of pie to each one present,
there we're pies left. 1t was the most
"pi (e )ous" affair ever given IN Pres
colt.
The introduction to the evenings
entertainment consisted of very in
teresting literary and musical pro-
gramme, and the meeting was presided
over by Lon Hall, worthy president
of the Prescott aerie. The opening
number was an overture by the Eagles
band which ELECTED an encore. A
violin solo by Mr.. W. S. Smith, ac-
companied by Mrs. Smith on the piano
received an encore. Mrs. T. Bate gave
a recitation, "Aux ItalieDs," and was
given a hearty encore but she did not
respond to it. DR.. Smith accompan-
led the recitation with the violin,
making it very impressive.
The Knocking Bird" solo by Willis
Grander, and a tenor solo by Mr..
Logan were the star numbers of the
programme and each received a most
enthusiastic encore. Mr.. Grander's
abilities as a musician are so we'll
known that an extended notice of his
solo last eveningiwould be superhuous,
while the Journal Miner has hereto
fore had occasion to make mention of
Mr.. Logan as soloist, to which moth
ing can be added unless it be said
that he fully sustained, if not excelled
his former appearance.
At the conclusion of the programme
dancing was the order of the even
ing, and continued until after
midnight, with an intermission
long enough in duration to dis
cuss the main topic of the even
ing the pie question. As an access
sorry or re enforcement to the pies, the
Eagles Aerie provided a great big
stack of sandwiches which we're served
with hot coffee and other palatable
articles as a prelude or overture to the
pies.
A fruit punch was also much in evil
dence during the entire evening, in the
ante room of the hall, and was acces-
sible to all at ali times and proved
most refreshing to the merry dancers.
1t was an evening of real pleasure, one
for which this order is noted.
