The Married Mems Dance.

The married men of this city and
vicinity gave their annual dance at
Opera Hall Friday evening. That
the affair was enjoyable is evidenced
by the fact that the crowd refused
to leave the hall until 4:45 a. m.
The music, furnished by Pepin's
Orchestra of ST. Paul, was excel
lent and the class of music played
pleased the dancers immensely-al all
the music being that which was
popular in by-gone days. About
three hundred were in attendance.
Among the giddy young people from
abroad were-J. E. Elliott and wife,
Dr. F. E. Perkins and wife, Wilbur
Travis and wife, F. L. Baker and
wife and Matt Shade and wife of
Ellsworth; H. S. Matteson and wife,
Sheriff Harris and wife, Charles
Bourne and wife, Joe Muckenhause
and wife, VIM. Tozer and wife, Alex
Ross and Robert Hodgins of Hud-
son, and G. r. Daley and wife of
St. Paul.

NOTICE.

We will give $500 in cash to any
one who will find single barrel of
outside -four on this market that
will make more or better bread than
our White Crest flour.
We havn't yet introduced wash
ing machine in our mill as we do
not use the kind of wheat that re-
quires washing. These machines
are made for the purpose of hand
ling smutty and off grade wheats,
the products of which we have never
yet been guilty of putting on to the
public. Our sca1ping and grading
is done by the sieve system, which
we, by years of experience, have
found to be the best for this pur-
pose; our boiling is done by the
round reel system for similar rea-
sons, and you may rest assured our
grinding is not done on the univers-
al sieve system, as the wheat we
use is too hard for that, and re-
quires more rigid handling. After
all said and done, it matters little
to the users of -four what system is
used-they all having their merits.
But skill and honesty in their hand
ling is the thing that will tell on
your -four. WHITE CREST -four is
manufactured by millers in an up
to-date mill and from the best wheat
on the market, and our guarantee is
back of every sack that there is no
better -four on this market, no mat
ter at what price sold.
Yours for trade,
VAN VooRHIs & Co.

that it contains no valves whatever,
makes possible a more nearly per-

Dean Henry of our own expert
ment station, and the Hon. L. H.
Herrick of Bloomington, ILL.,, talked
to the farmers of Iowa recently, at
Ames and said a good many things
that were pleasant, and calculated
to lead those who listened to look
at their calling from a stand point,
not always given the consideration
it deserves. Among many other
things Dean Henry said:
Zone reason we have been so slow
in coming TO an appreciation of the
land is the horrible mistake of our
government in giving away its land
to these who live upon it, and for a
hundred years this land was about
the cheapest, most despised thing
in our country. When you get
something for nothing you may
grab at it at first, but you soon drop
it. 1t doesn't appeal to you as
good and valuable land. 1t is only
in the last few years that we have
come to prize the land to value it,
and / predict that all over this coun-
try there is going to go wave of
love of the land such as you see in
Germany, France and Holland.
Young men, if you don't love the
farm, don't like agriculture, don't
stay there, but If you do put your
whole soul and heart into your work
and take pride and enjoyment in
producing the best ear of corn, the
best crop, the finest stock of any
people around you, have reputa-
ton in your neighborhood for be.
ing a good farmer. Never despise
the land we have; don't despise the
home surroundings"

A Pleasant Surprise.

AHoe huAode1y SNSLAAS DCAHS IuG
25th anniversary of the wedding of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. So freeman, the
brothers and sisters of the Masonic
order and Eastern Star TO the num-
Der of 81, gathered at their hall and
proceeded in a body to the home of
the unsuspecting couple and gave
them a most agreeable surprise,
carrying some handsome gifts ap-
propriate to the occasion.
The presentation address was
made by Rev. T. ]. Snodgrass, who
after few preliminary remarks
said:
MY good brother and sister, it
affords me very great pleasure to
bear to you at this time the sincere
congratulations and the hearty
greetings of your brothers and sis
ters of the Masonic fraternity and
the Eastern Star OF River Falls.
Orders with which you have been
connected since their organization
in the city; and institutions, too,
whose influence is always whole
some and good in any community,
for they inculcate the highest pos
sible moral ideals. They teach men
and women to be kind and thought
full toward each other, and by pre-
cept as we'll as example to dispense
charity with a liberal hand" And
we are we'll aware of your love
for both these orders, and
your devotion to their princi-
Piles and teachings, that you have
often gone the whole length of
your cable tow in their interest.
You have proved yourselves worthy
of the honor they confer and won
for yourselves the love and esteem
of the entire fraternity. So your
brothers and sisters could not per-
nit you TO pass this twenty-fifth
milestone of your married life with
out an effort in this way to add a
little to the joy of the occasion.
And l am sure that il the years to
come you will sometimes turn your
thoughts back to this hour with
some degree of pleasure. That
there will come to your hearts sweet
and tender memories of the kind
and loving friends who gathered
about you at this time, and whose
thoughtful interests for your hap
piness planned this most pleasant
and agreeable surprise. 1t gives
me still further pleasure to present
you with these gifts from your
friends, and whatever may be their
intrinsic worth, that bears but lit
tie if any comparison to the gen
uine love and good will which in
spired their giving. 1t is the most
earnest wish of your many friends
that the years to come may bring
with them much of JOY, prosperity
and gladness and but little of sor-
row, disappointment and sadness,
that your pathway through life may
grow brighter and brighter, till
from the hill tops yonder you shall
see the dawning of the perfect day."
Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman received
their guests with great cordially,
and regretted their inability to pro-
vide amply for the "true inward
ness" of so large a company on SO
short a notice. However a pleas
ant hour and a half was spent in
social converse interspersed with
vocal and instrumental music by
Ed. Pratt and Miss Susie Pierce
and addresses by Rev. Clough and
DR.. Ashley.

origin Of the Christmas Tree.

The Christmas tree Is supposed to
have originated in Germany, but such
is pot the case. In reality the Christ
mas tree is from Egypt, and dates
from a period long antecedent to the
Christian era. The palm tree is
known to put forth a shoot every
month, and spray Of this tree with
II shoots on il was used in Egypt at
the time of the winter solstice as a
symbol that the year was complete.
Egyptian affections of an early dato
still linger with the Christmas tree.
The first Christmas tree was intro
duced into England and thence into
America by some German merchants
who lived in Manchester.

Sure Sicn of Death.

The doctors who soothe the demon
of drink in the alcoholic ward of a
New York hospital have recently dis
covered an unfailing indication of the
approaching death of patients. One
Of them described it in this way:
'sThe great majority of alcoholic pa
tients in this city are truck drivers.
Naturally, when they are driving a
team and are continually urging their
steeds ahead. It's all right as long
as they keep driving ahead, but the
moment we hear them begin to back
their horses we know it's All off, and
we might as well order their shrouds.
In dozens of cases never knew this
sign to fail"

A Case Of Mistaken Identity.

Residents Of certain part Of
Spruce street have often seen two
charming old ladies, twin sisters, who
look so much alike that no one ever
bothers to distinguish between them
coming out from one of the houses
The fact that they both dress almost
alike makes it still harder to tell them
apart.
Some one who knows the old ladies
very well relates that Ann, while max.
ing hurried departure for one of the
big department stores last week, put
on Susan's bonnet by mistake In
walking through the store she came
suddenly in front of full-length mir
ror, and stepped back in establishment
saying, "Why, Sue; | didn't know you
were coming downtown this morning.
