Merry-No Damage Done.
Halloween night was an ideal one
along weather lines and in striking
contrast with years gone By the fun
and merry making did not resolve
itself into the rude, the boisterous
and the damage doing. The par
Elephants we're happy and many of
those who did not indulge in the fun
mak king we're also happy on the fol-
lowing morning 10 find their gates,
signs, and other movable possessions
in their accustomed places.
Several Halloween parties we're
given and the young folks as well as
the older ones enjoyed themselves
very much.
On Friday evening Miss Mabel
Spicer entertained party of doz-
en- young ladies' of her set and it is
said they had more fun than can be
imagined, some of the girls dressed
for the occasion, getting into their
brothers wardrobes before leaving
home and looked like real live boys
when they arrived at the party.
A special feature of the evening
was moonlight ride Oh hayrack
and load of straw with the hired man
as driver. A couple of coons we're
also noticed in the load.
Miss Iris McElroy gave one in
honor of the day at her parents home
Saturday and the spooks took poss-
ession of the house in gay attire,
they were all girls. A representa-
tive cowboy right from the wild and
woody wet however was in the bunch
and under her lead they stormed the
castle where another party was in
progress at the same hour.
Marguerite Lamb sent out invita-
tions to eight couples who assembled
at the Lamb domicile, there being
just as many boys as there was girls
and the latter represented queens,
princess and distinguished women
who in the lurid light of jack o. Ian
tiers scared the boys nearly into fits
at first.
Marsh mallows, chestnuts and a
drink served from pumpkin made
the occasion very pleasant one for
the maids and misters. They had a
grand march and danced the Virginia
reel.
Miss Sada Worden at the home of
her parents on the Luther addition
entertained company of about 20
young people and the pumpkin Jack
% lantern and other evidences of
weirdness where fairies delight to be
made the rooms appropriate to the
occasion. Ghostly attired ushers
met the company and a merry time
was had for a couple of hours or
more, cornstalks and apple draperies
were used and a special feature was
a going down cellar backward carry
ing mirror to see ones future fate
and mate.
The Congressional club at the
residence of M A. Chapman were
attired for the occasion not a man
recognizing his wife nor the wife her
husband rhe old time game of roll
the platter was played while the
pumpkin lantern grinned at the
frolic. Marshmellows were roasted
and eaten with sandwich of apples
and popcorn.

TO HUNT DEER
Quite Party of Local sports Left

This Morning.

the deer hunting season will soon
be opened again and the slaughter If
deer and hunters will soon be in full
force again. The recent law making
the accidental shooting of hunter
punishable bv imprisonment for ten
years in 4 state prison will proba bly,
have the effect of making some of
them look twice before they fire the
fatal shot, but the slaughter of the
innocents will doubtless continue In a
greater or less degree, so long as the
exodus to the northland continues.
Among those who left from this
point this morning. were Martin
Hayes, Pete Martin, Pole Krupp,
Fred Benton and Charles Murray.
They go TO Palms, place located
bout 80 miles north of the straits,
and expect TO bring back nice lot
of venison and inuumerable stories of
the number of fine shots that they
missed and that was all The Bann r

a HUNTERS LUCK
How One of our Local Hunters Failed
to Bag His Game.

How One of our Local Hunters Failed
to Bag His Game.
Last Sunday morning one of our
local sports rose at an early hour and
hied himself to the woodland in search
of quail, partridge and duck long be-
fore the rest of our citizens had
shaken of the robes of slumber. He
would have the ground we'll covered
before the other nimrods had a
chance, his route being up the river
until he reached the Wabas flats,
then through the swamps for several
miles until his search was rewarded
by the discovery OF bunch of quail
Now Charley Is nothing unless care
full, and he had taken the precaution
not TO load his gun until the coveied
game was reached, and he at ohce
prepared to load his gun for shot
at the fine bunch of quail. Perhaps
IL is not beyond the reach of human
imagination to imagine his surprise
and disgust when he learned that the
shells that he had brought with him
were 10 gauge while his gun was II
gauge. Charley came back to the
city a sadder and wiser man and he
has been heard to declare that the
next time that he goes hunting he
will stay at home and let the other
fellow do the hunting The moral to
this little story is very plain, always
be sure you are right then 20 ahead

BOY COSTS $4,000
Does II Pay 10 Raise Them That's the
Question.

Does IL Pay 10 Raise Them That's the
Question.
Some one has figured out that the
average hoy who is dependent upon
his parents for a livelihood until he
reaches the age of twenty-one years,
costs them about 1900. On this
basis of calculation a brood, for in
stance, of six boys, will represent an
outlay of S24, 900 by the time they get
away from the home roost. The
question naturally arises, does it pay
to raise boys, and are there other
crops that would prove more profit
able? If boy turns out TO be Gig
arctic tiend with a breath like a
turkey buzzard, and a laugh that
would make the wild, untutored dom
key feel perfectly at home in his
society and with an untrammeled
and unconquerable desire TO AVOID
work, it Is safe 70 say that the parent
might have invested his 81, 200 at a
much better advantage.
But~'ift the hoy grows M to man
hood with the lesson we'll learned
that wealth and success grow only on
bushes that are watered by the sweat
of ones brow, the parents need not
begrudge whatever they have spent
on him, for ne will be a source of in
creasing prideand JOY to their hearts,
when they grow old and their hands
tire mble and their legs wabble and
their step is slow and faltering, they
will have two strong arms to lean
upon ard help them over all the
rough places that lie in their twilight
path.

Washington. March 27.-The president
has arranged to make about half a dozen
carefully prepared speeches on his vest
er,l trip. The first Of these will be in
Chicago, at the Auditorium, next Thurs
day night. The second will be at Mi1wau-
kee, the third at Minneapolis, the fourth
at st. Louis, the fifth at Kansas City or
Denver, and the others on the Pacific
coast, probably at San Francisco and at
one of the Puget sound cities. III
All other addresses will be local and
general in character. including the two
speeches in st. Paul.
In Chicago he will deal with the trust
and labor questions, because that city, is
the financial and industrial center of the
great west; in Milwaukee with foreign
affairs, with special reference to the Mon
roe doctrine and American relations with
Germany and Great Britain. What speech
will be made in Minneapolis the presi-
dent has not yet decided In st. Louis
he will discuss the great world questions
naturally suggested by the approaching
worlds fair, and in the west the Phillip
pines and the orient will be the burden
of his remarks. 1t is known that while
away he will say some ething about the tar
iff and reciprocity. He may decide to take
up reciprocity in the Minneapolis address,
having been thoroughly advised Of the in
terest the northwest has in that question,
more especially in the Canadian end of it.
