The event of the week was the
raising up of the Chiefs Of the
Ponca Tribe l. O. Il. NJ. last
Wednesday at the opera house
and that part OF the town con-
cerned turned out in full force to
the scene of song and merrlmrnt.
Learned men were ravishad with
delight. fair maIdcns hearts
bounded with II Pocahontas pride.
and politicians forgot their diff
ferenrcs when the Red Men wand
cred in astonishing maze round
the council fire that had been
kindled in the midst of the hall.
A religious silence reigned during
the ceremony: Il sound would have

Mr.. W. Y. bishop had a report
IN The Press last week calling
attention to the phenomenal
growth of the Woodmen of the
World III our town. Well, we
have s scent he birth of the Womnn's
Club, now an organization of con.
siderable merit, Then came the
Inauguration of the Civic League
and its juvenile addition. The
Business Mems Club next came
on the stage, found its useful
membership and stepped aside to
crystalline like the Civic League,
into actual work. This formation
of the Improved Order of Red
Men came next, and starts work
with a membership well on the
road to hundred.

Eastern Star and their whispered
comments were very favorable to
the work of the members. Of
course, the regalia not having
arrived was disappointment to
many, but nevertheless all went
very admirably. The little mus;-
cal programme at the commence
ment was very neatly rendered
and the ball at the conclusion
was the greatest sport imaginable.
The milk wagon was going its
rounds before the dancers left the

Talking of society functions
calls to mind new fad called II
ghost party 1t is new idea and
one that permits hostess to en-
terrain upon an enormous scale.
Thus one discovers night upon
which many of her friends are
engaged to dine, or sup, or dance,
or call and the hostess invites
them to function to be given on
that night. They are of course
engaged and decline with thanks.
No expense is incurred, but re-
cord is made of being an enter
tainer upon II large scale.
The modern host invites a
ghost,
And makes no preparations;
He never dimes, he never wines,
For everyone perforce declines
His phantom invitations.
The noble spread at last is
dead,
Substantial feeds are waning;
The host remains, so none com,
plains,
For though he never entertains
He's always entertaining.
