CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR VALENTINE PARTY.
Given at Presbyterian Church Friday Evening
at Which About Sixty Guests Were Present.

A delightful valentine Party" was
given at the Presbyterian Church
Friday evening last under the au-
spices of the Social Committee of the
Presbyterian Christian Endeavor So
ciety, Miss Ada Dresher, chairman.
The affair was one of the most eniov.
able entertainments given recently.
The chapel was prettily decorated
with hearts and other valentine deco
rations and heart games were INDUCED
IN freely. One of these was Heart
Hunt, which afforded a lively con-
test, at which a pretty valentine was
given to the one finding the most and
a comic valentine to the one finding
the least. Then there was the Heart
Fortune Teller" where many blind
folded consulted the oracle regarding
their future happiness. The closing
feature of the program was the Heat
Strings the ladies taking one end,
and the gentlemen the other. After
the mystical unravelling, the gentle
man found on the end of the lady's
string was to be her escort and par
take refreshments with her Coffee
and sandwiches were served. The
guests numbered between fifty and
sixty.

Can Nervous Diseases
Be Caused by
Eye Strain?

The literature of medicine goes to
prove conclusively that duration of
life is materially shortened by nervous
debility and the diseases which it entails.
Any factor, therefore, in their causation
ought not to be overlooked. In the view
that Eye-strain is frequent cause of
functional nervous arrangements proves
to be the correct one beyond the possi-
bility of doubt or cavil, it is not diff
cult to see that hope of marked relief
or of ultimate recovery is practically ex-
tended to many hopeless sufferers upon
whom drugs have cxerted little or no
benefit.
A few OF the troubles which result
directly from neglect in this particular
are Neuralgia, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia.

What Is Happening.

The Western Waterman, ga
Catholic journal, devoted to the in
terest of the Catholic church in the
West" published in St.LOuis says:
The time is coming very fast
indeed, it has already arrived in
our commercial life-when a young
man who has habits of intemper-
ance is narrowing very rapidly the
possible range of openings in
which he may make a living.
Fifteen years ago, as the train
master of division of one of our
large railroads in America told me
he sat in his office one day and
saw a freight train stand for two
hours waiting for a number of the
train crew to recover from intOx-
icatiOn. When the men were able
to handle the train it moved ont of
the yard. Now, the trainmaster
said, if the brakeman or any of
the train crew were found to be
under the slightest influence of
liquor, or if they were seen even
to enter Il saloon, they were in
stantly discharged. The idea of
keeping whole train waiting for
man to recover from drunkenness
would seem perfectly absurd to the
railroad corporation now. The
time will come when such an idea
will seem equally absurd in the
army.
A young man who lost his posi-
ton in an office of this same com
pany came to me last year and
begged that | would use may in
fluence to have him taken back by
the superintendent of the division.
He frankly confessed that he had
been drunk, aud was unable to re-
port for duty one day, but the next
morning he was at his desk.
When he appeared he received
his dismissal. He acknowledged
his fault, and promised the super
intendent it would never occur
again, offering to let the road take
his wages and pay them to his
aged father and mother. He
pleaded it was his first Offense.
l went with an influential citi-
zen to the head of the depar tment
where the young man had been
employed and we stated his case
and pleaded for a second trial but
the superintendent simply said
"This railroad is not in the bust,
ness of reforming drunkards OF
retaining young men. Past ex,
perience has taught MS that it is
useless for us to take back young
men in this way"

This interesting item from the
Live Stock Reporter: Prof. G. F.
Curtiss has recently bought for the
Iowa Agricultural College the fam
Gus black gated saddle mare Mag
gle Mcdonald, daughter of Rex
Mcdonald. She was foaled in 1895,
and stands 16 hands high, and
is strongly reminiscent of her fam
Gus sire in the hashness of her
rack. She has been a prize-win-
ner from yearling up.
In the model ring, shown from
halter and judged on conformation
and quality, she defeated Forest
King, Thornton Star, Star Rose
and eighteen other entries at Cen
tralia, Mo-, in 1898. Her career
in show rings has been unusually
distinguished. r. E. Jones, of
Webster City, Ia, bought this
mare from w. b. Freeman, of
Mexico, Mo-, and sold her to Prof
Curtiss. 1t is II matter of con-
graduation that so fine a type of
the saddle-bred saddle horse will be
before the students OF the Iowa
Agricultural College as a model.
Maggie Mcdonald will be certain
to cultivate a taste for more of
her kind on the Iowa farms.

cared little for the hide, having
had the pleasure of the chase.
Uncle Lou loved to hunt coons.
A young man named John CasOn,
working for David's father, had
brought some fine fox
hounds from Kentucky with him,
Music and Smoker. These were
slender, black dogs and very swift
runners but they were pups, so
Uncle Lou could take them and
catch cOOns and opOssums. Three
or four school boys would join the
negro and have enough fun in one
night to talk about for Il week.
The coon chase was short, for the
coon finds a tree. A large coon is
in the tree, a boy climbs up to
shake him out; up, up, he goes,
about thirty or forty feet. The
coon crawls ont on a limb. The
boy shakes and shakes
until the coon gets up, when with
big shake old MIR. Coon drops,
where the dogs stand with eager
eyes to grasp him. But the coon
turns on his back, scratches and
bites until he is about to whip the
dogs. "Take hold" shouts Uncle
Lou, and the dogs try again with
more success, for now they have
him off of the ground and each
dog seems anxious to possess the
game. Within fifteen or twenty
minutes the fight ends with the
coOn's death, and another pelt will
soon be ready for market.
Crossing paw-paw patch, the
dogs tree an OpOssum, He is
SHAKEN off but does not fall, for
wrapping his tail around Il limb he
swings by that. Uncle Lou wants
the 'pOssum to eat so he drives
away the dog and knocks the
'possum down, when he acts as if
dead, but Uncle Lou knows his
tricks and gets stick and brushes
the skull or breaks his neck
"POssum can't fool me-" is his
remark. 81 knows their tricks"
The time most celebrated for its
mirth and good cheer was when
the hogs were killed. The neigh
bOrs for several miles around
would gather at a house, where a
log heap covered with limeston e
rocks had been fired at daylight.
The hogsheads filled with water
from the kettles and the pole ready
for the dressed hogs to hang upon.
Generally a good marksman was
selected to do the shooting. The
heated rocks had been put in the
hogshead of water and now all
was ready. The shot is fired, a
man runs to the hog, turns him
on his back and sticking a sharp
butcher-knife in his throat and
turning the knife tries to pierce
the heart; as soon as the blood has
poured out of the hog two or
three men grasp the legs and drag
him to the hogshead. In the body
goes, but care must be taken not
to set the hair by leaving in too
long. Then pulling and scraping
the hog is soon ready for the pole.
After neat dressing the internal
organs are taken out and sent to
the kitchen for removing the fat to
make lard. Sometimes twenty or
thirty hogs are ready for the
smokehonse in one day. To,take
out the ribs and neatly trim shout
ders and hams requires some skill.
