Fork, 18th District.-Last year the friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. NJ. Halle, of this place,
rendered them q surprise party OF the evening
of the 25th anniversary of their marriage, and
this year these friends were invited to spend
Thanksgiving evening with them, About sixty
accepted the invitation and delightful time
was had from early in the evening until late
in the night. bountiful table was spread
and turkey, oysters, etc., were largely IN EVIL
dence.
For about thirty years or more the judges of
the county fairs have been awarding first prizes
to Mrs. Halle (nee Foard) for her culinary pro-
auctions and one can imagine the many good
things the company consumed, for Mrs. Halle
never previously exceeded this occasion in the
preparation of delightful articles for the table.
After supper. which lasted until nearly II
o'clock, Mr.. E. r. Halle, the oldest son, and a
member of the Towson bar, gave great sur
prise to hose present by delivering his Thanks
giving Offering to History" which was written
in poetry, rhyme and prose, and was short BIZ
ography of the gentlemen present. 1t can be
safely said that never before has anything like
it been heard in an after-dinner Tor supper
speech. 1t was replete in hilarious fun and
drought down the house as he cracked bis
Jokes on the men folks He showed great
deal of diplomacy for as soon as he had the
laugh on anyone he then showed up their good
Qualities so that no matter how boldly the truth
was told that created the laugh, no one could
remain in q bad humor. The only complaint
heard was that he sighted the ladies, and a
desire was expressed that he pay his respects to
them in a similar way in the'near future.
The potato supper" at Shirley Hall, on
Saturday evening of this week, is assuming
large proportions. Be sure to be there. 1t has
been decided not to have the rattle for the
sleigh, as announced on the handbills. This
decision is well taken. from the fact that the
dicipline of the M. E. Church forbids such
things, and as this novel supper is being held
under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society.
we would be sorry indeed to have them turned
out of church for breaking the rules as we
can't get along well in church work without
them. X.

ar inordinate value on mere wealth is not
good thing at ALL"
"The children of today are those who tomor-
row will shape the destiny of our land.'
THE most direful among the influences
which have brought about the downfall of
republics has ever been the growth of the class
spirit"

standard of conduct, not the standard of occu-
patton, of means or of social position"
1.-The noblest OF all forms of government is
self government; but it is also the most diff
cult"
"-Law-honesty, or the kind Of honesty
necessary in order to avoid falling into the
clutches of the law"
"Only that nation is equipped for peace that
knows how to fight"
1.-The Golden Rule should be the guiding rule
of conduct among nations as among individ-
uals.''

favor of the criminal and against the interests
of the public he has wronged."
