It's truly beautiful stunt.
And there's such charm in sewing
oats
No city can ever down.
For farmer can sew his wild, wild
oats
Even after he comes to town.
So love to think of the dear old farm
OF the dear old hens and hay,
For to me the farm has wonderful
charm
about thirty-fve miles away
Circum stances render it necessary
that this weeks edition of the Croaker
must be opened with an apology. The
editress, Miss M. Mirtle Gray, being
called away by the illness of her sister,
Mrs. G. A. Irish OF Sauk Centre the
paper is left in the hands of the pie
mixer. All errors will be made right
by his majesty and all croake"s may
call at his office and receive their full
quota of fire and birthstone.
What's the matter with our re-
porters? After waiting all day for the
mail carrier in the hope that some one
would send in a few items, we were
forced to fall upon our own resources.
Our paper cannot be a success unless
the members will exert themselves a
little. hope each will feel it their
duty to send at least one item to help
make next weeks copy bright, newsy
and interesting.
Wanted-A recipe TO- onion syrup
Leave same at Croaker office.
Miss Margaret Irish spent the three
days vacation at her home in Sank
Centre.
Lost, strayed or stolen-Billy
Bounce-not seen since last week. A
reward cheerfuily given for informa-
ton leading to his recovery.
Tom Collins is bitterly complaining
of his treatment on Valentines day.
Never got one!
The members of the society desire to
publicly express their thanks to the
ones who so kindly, forcibly and ap-
propriately remembered them at the
Valentine box. "Our best friends are
those who tell us of our faults and help
us to mend them" We will take tine
hints so timely given and endeavor to
correct the deficiencies alluded to ere
another Valentines day.
Tom did not make his usual trip to
Padua on Sunday. A terrible dis
appointment to him, but the storm was
too severe and Tom knows when to
stay indoors.
The young folks from Messrs Lynch
and Haynes spent Sunday at Mr..
Wehrhahn's.
Girls, don't be bashful-this is Leap
Year.
CHANGES.
One hundred years ago today,
With wildernesses here,
With powder in his gun, the man
Went out to get his deer.
But now the thing is changed,
And on another plan;
With powder on her cheeks, the dear
Goes out and gets the man.
Mollie and Thor were entrapped in
a huge snowdrift last Sunday. How
did that happen and who was driving?
Ask Mabel.
The entertainment given by No. 81
school on Friday was most brilliant
success and enjoyed by an audience
limited only by the capacity of the
school room. Every feature of the pro-
gram was fine and the pupils certainly
deserve praise for the efficiency with
which they rendered their parts, but,
back of all, must not be forgotten the
master hand" and the success gained
prove Hiss Irish to be most proficient
in the art of stage managing. Where
all was so we'll done it would be diff
cult to tell which were the most
brilliant actors. Among the star per-
formers must be mentioned the Misses
Mae Collins and Kate Kinsella. In
the play of Hans Won Smash, Mr..
Benedict Lynch proved himself an am
ateur of no mean ability, much of the
success of that play being due to his
efforts. The tableaux was an interest
ing part of the entertainment and we
are wondering If Steve has reached
his destination. The song, Minnesota,
was most beautifully illustrated, and
coon who sang Coon, Coon, Coon, pre-
sented a most ludicrous figure. All
in all, the entertainment was enter
tanning to the highest degree and the
audience departed at late hour, feel
inn well ranaid for thair h. ouo5o- l.,
