KNIGHTS TEMpLAR HAVE
AN EVENING or PLEASURE.

Last Thursday night the Sir
Knights of St. Bernard Com
mandery, No. 20, Knights Tenn
plar, gave a banquet at their
commodious quarters in Masonic
Temple, in honor of their ladies.
Preparation was made to enter
tain one hundred persons, but
owing to the very stormy even
ing and illness some of the la
dies we're kept at home and few
Sir Knights were detained by
illness or business, so that the
party numbered about seventy
five.
The reception committee, COM
posed of several Sir Knights and
ladies. were there early. AS the
guests came they were taken
through the ante room, where
they disposed of their wraps,
then into the asylum and decor
ated with beautiful carnations,
then through the asylum into the
council chamber, where they
were served with fruit punch.
After this the ladies were given
free run of the establishment,
saving certain trap doors and
dark closets whose location they
were unable to discover.
Mrs. III. l.. Browning, Mrs. w.
S. McGary and Mrs. @. III. Nc
Gary presided at the flower stand.
The Sir Knights wore white car
nations, the ladies, pink.
Mrs. Paul M. Moore, Miss An
ME Moore and Mrs. w. r. Coyle
successfully did the honors at the
punch bowl.
Sir Chas. Cowell RECALLED the
company with numerous choice
musical selections that enlivened
the evening and helped the flow
of conversation and good feeling.
Sir Geo. @. Atkinson and others
did short stunts at cakewalking.
The gathering was completely
one of "rest and refreshment, u
and fully enjoyed by all who at
tended.
The banquet was served about
8 80 at two long and handsomely
laid and decorated tables in the
banquet and drill hall, where one
hundred covers were laid. Emf
nent Commaneer Dan M. Evans
occupied the head of one table
and Sir Jas. r. Rash the other
Sir Rash was appointed toast
master.
After the last course was serv-
ed several responses were given
to appropriate toasts. The Sir
Knights from distance, but
members of st. Bernard Com
mandery, who spoke were Rev.
j. w. Mitchell, of Hopkinsville,
and Warner Campbell, of Colo
RADIO. Sir Ed L. Wise, past com.

present and made brief talk.
Others who spoke we're Eminent
Commander Evans, Sir Knights
Geo. G. Atkinson, Jas. r. Rash,
Paul M. Moore, Chas. Cowell and
w. X. Nisbet.
After the banquet a series of
stereoptican views were shown in
the asylum, by Sir II. @. Bour-
land, touching on the work and
spirit of Masonry.
The party broke up in good
spirits and went home happy,
Notwithstanding the storm and
slush.
The banquet was prepared and
served by caterer Parguy, of
Henderson. Mr.. Parguy made a
special effort to please and was
the recipient of numerous COM
pliments upon the handsome fur
nishings of the tables and the
menu served.

While a great deal of work has
been done and arrangements have
been made with most of the lead
ing mines, agriculturalists and
others, for exhibits along their
several lines, yet it is more than
probable that there are numerous
interesting relics. mineral and
agricultural products, which will
be overlooked unless those pos

the same, voluntarily communi-

An afternoon performance will there
fore be given on Saturday next at
popular prices, namely, twenty-five
cents for the juveniles and fifty cents
for their accompanying adults The
program will be carried out with the
same care and attention bestowed up
on those of an evening presentation.
The program is teeming with things
that will be of special interest to the
youngsters, as for instance the act of
the Tossing Austins,'' the Musical
Johnsons,'' the ''Hiawatha Trouba-
dours.'' funny Pete" Baker who will
make his turn directly applicable to his

DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves US to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face of this idea the ssimpos-
sible" vanishes. Where there's,
a will, there's a way. off we
could but rob cod liver oil of
it's sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable."
So said famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it will never be DONE" he added.
"You can no more turn cod liv-
er oil into a palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into Bird of Paradise"
Yet he lived to admit that in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the "impossible" had been ac-
complished. It is palatable as
honey and contains all the nu-
tritive and curative properties of
Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by us from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites, Extracts Of
Malt and Wild Cherry. This
remedy is freed from the bad
peculiarities DR.. rockingham so
detested, and it is precisely the
splendid medicine he wished for.
Use it freely and confidently for
Hysteria, Wasting Complaints,
Anemia, Blood Impurities, Asth-
ma, and Throat and Lung Trou-
bles. DR.. w. III. B. Atkins, Phy-
stefan to Toronto General Hos
pital, says: eI am much pleased
to state that the results from
using Wampole's Preparation of
Cod Liver Oil have been uni
formly satisfactory; it appealed
