Golden Wedding Bells.

The labors. honest, true.

For those who fifty years ago

Ring u pean OF belief and trust
In honor. truth and love.
Until your happy echoes reach
The resting place above.
How few there are, in this day and
age of the world, who have the priv
iege of celebrating the fiftieth an
niversary OF welded life.
Last week about one hundred and
twenty-five invitations were issued
by Mr.. and Mrs. II. L. Bates to their
friends to come to their beautiful
home on South Madison street to
celebrate, with them, their golden
wedding, and it CHANGED to lie my
happy,privilege to meet with them
at the hour when old-time friends,
or pioneer settlers, were present,
which was an interesting feature OF
the occasion friends who had shared
with them their joys and sorrows in
the early days, which makes the tie
of friendship stronger, and it did Ger.
tainly seem pleasant to note the
brightness Of the eye and the happy
eagelness with which hand clasped
hand with the old time friends Of
bygone days, most of them going
down the decline of life and daily
growing more feeble.
The home was beautifully and
tastefully decorated with colder
draperies of every kind, with pump
kin jardineres filled with the choic
est of golden rod, nasturtiums, dai
sizes, sunflowers and ferns of ever,
description. Dainty and appetizinf
refreshments were served by fair
young hands and, indeed, all wen
merry as marriage bell. The pres
ents were mostly Of silver and golt
coins, and were freely given.
The aged couple seem to be en-
joying the best of health, and seen
to have been made very happy b,
the tender association of their man
friends. INEVITABLE.

Too Late to Interest Him.

'"What I'd like to know" said the youth
with the aggressive chin, Is why the women
should have a monopoly on so many things"
The other man smiled sadly, and remarked
that what the women wanted to know was
why they couldn't monopolize more things.
But, for instance" pursued the youth.
:" take hair dressing. Woman changes the
style Of wearing her hair to suit her fancy.
One month she will have It rugged up in
pompadour style, another month she will
part it in the center and drape it over her
ears, again she will draw it directly back
from her brow and coil 1t low on the neck,
next time she will do it up in Psyche knot,
then she will have it frizzled all over her
head, and so on. But man must content him
self with one certain way Of combing his
hair, and is given scant latitude as to whether
It shall be short or long" -
The other man humphed and lit q cigar
but the young man was not deferred. He
went on:
My idea Is that men should wear their
hair as they please. If they want to part 1t In
