SPINsTERs' CONVENTION
Given Friday Night at the Jensen Opera
House by the Ladies Of the Eastern
Star Order Was a Big Success.

The Spinsters' Convention Civ.
en- by the Ladies of the Eastern
Star Order, couldn't have been
better if it had been given by a
regular theatrical troop. The pro
gram was headed by the orches.
ira, composed of I'll. G.. Wilcox.
Jas. Snyder, and an excellent pi-
anist who was with Mr.. Wilcox.
They led off with a much enjoy
ed selection, followed by Mrs.
Gustave Jensen, in a piano solo
of one of her excellent pieces.
"Salome." A song, Yesterday
and Today" by G f.. Jensen was
well rendered, and Mr.. Jensen
responded to an encore. Mrs.
Jensen again followed by a solo,
Isis" on the piano. The or
chestra played another one of
their selections, which never fail
to hold their listeners. The CON
vention from start TO finish was
one continuous laugh, and kept
the audience in an uproar. 1t
would be hard to tell which one
of the ladies' did the best, as tbev
were all excellent and could not
have been criticized in the least.
The ladies were assisted by A. j..
Doggett and F. NJ. Baker. and
these two gentleman did their
part as they do everything else,
that is, first class. Some of the
take-offs on the business men and
bachelors were fine, and too much
praise for the ladies cannot be
said. The singing of little Hazel
Johnston was much appreciated
by all who heard her and her fu-
ture as a singer will some day
be renowned. Mrs. W. f. Ash.
ley's singing also was very sweet
and much enjoyed.
After the performance was over
they announced to the audience
that the orchestra would give a So
cial dance, and a number stayed to
one of the incest short dances ever
held i'll Saratoga.

WAR IN The FAR EAST
The War in the Far East is Getting
Rather Hot-Russia Don't Like to Be-
lieve the Reports.

1t is reported that the Japs
have defeated 1000 of the cossacks
that are considered the cream of
the Russian Calvary but the gov
eminent at st. Petersburg refuse
to believe the report. One of the
Toxic correspondent says that the
Japs will attack Port Arthur June
10Th. and will stay right there
until they capture the entire
thing. 1900 Japs are moving
into Korea and will clear the
Northern portion of hat king
dom of the raiding Russians. Ow-
ing to the condition of the Rus
sian railroad there is little hope
for the defeat of the Japs.
If Russia was not so far from
the seat of war and had better
railroad facilities there would be
little doubt but what she could
hold her own and maybe win the
war, but the way things lay and
the cunningness of the .Japs are
inst a little too much for the Bear.
1t seems that just about the time
that You think that the Japs are
whipped they are just getting the
Russians where they want them
and before you are aware of it the
Japs have another victory added
to their list.
The Leaders of the Japanese
armies, or a great many of them,
are graduates of some of our big
Military Schools. and with what
they have learned from us and
their own methods, they are to-
day one of the formost in the up
to date methods of warfare.

They had been married only a few
months, and the wife stood by the
side of her husband, looking into one
of the department store windows.
A handsome tailor.made dress took
her fancy, and she left her husband
to examine it more closely. Then
she went back to him still talking.

planned. You don't care for me any

himself to blame if she looked at it.

Barefooted Man Kicks His Mother-in-Law

tCopyrot 1904, by the Planet Pub. Goa
Science teaches us that the
nerves of the BRAIN are connected
with the nerves of the entire body.
If you don't believe this go sit on
a tack, and you will then under
stand THE POINT of our theory.
Recently a man was arrested for
jumping up from his bed BARE
FOOTED and kicking his wIFE's
MOTHER. Do you, my dear aver
age reader, know why he was so
foolish? Why? Just because he
never read our EDITORIALS; he is
NOT one OF our FAMILY of readers.
and his sugar bowl is full of
sandworms instead of THINKING
brains.
A sensible man would never
KICK his mother-in-law when in
his bare feet. His sense of feeling
would connect with his brain
nerves, and his brain nerves would
tell him to PUT HIS SHOES ON FIRST
and there would be less fear of in
juring his feet.
Will the mothers-in-law of the
land please write and tell us how
much they thank us for handing
out this sage advice.-Ex.
