Open Air Repasts.

That Fourth of July dinner and
supper was a splendid affair. From
beginning to end its success was
unprecedented. The Catholic la dies,
under the leadership of Mrs. Ira w.
Bowles dexterously took.the matter
in hand and resolved, according to
their wonted mode of doing things,
to make it useful and interesting,
They succeeded in both admirably.
1t was useful socially and financial
ly. Socially, it was throughout a
neat affair, clear cut, up-to- date and
attractive. TWAS, besides, a novel
ty amongst us. Dinner under the
MONDAY sun and supper under the
cedars and the stars are items we
do not often experience in city life.
We are looking for new things and
variety in this great country of pos
sibilities, and it is only right to
have them. Besides, our visiting
friends, after taking in. the curiosi-
ties and beauties of the city, found
it such convenience to have their
appetites RECALLED with the invigor-
ating dainties set before them.
Financially, it was the crownine
OF all former like events, surprising
the most sanguine hopes of any of
us. 1t swelled the church treasury
by net sum of $1,000. A people
who car do so much in such a short
time can tell the man with a "hard
times" cry that he is "way behind
the times"
OF course the entire. credit is due
to the lady planners and workers
in the affair. Admittedly they
worked hard. And if they will not
feel offended we will call them by
that appropriate name henceforth,
1.-THE busy bees of the Mesaba
range" -,
The many comments by those
who partook of their meals were
complimentary and encouraging.
The community feels deeply in
debted to them, and l, as their pas
tor, pray them many a blessing. l
wish them a hearty God-speed in
their earnest endeavors.
