Mrs, Figenskau. The lodge re-
grets very much to lose SO faithful
a member as Mrs. Figenskau has
been-but that is the way Of the
world-here today and away to-
morrow. Altogether it was a very
pleasant evening and thoroughly
enjoyed by the members Of the
lodge. The ladies' were assisted
by Mrs. Haynes, mother Of Mrs.
Lenhart.
Quite unique was the party at
which Mrs. E. A. Lamb entertained
the Birthday Club Wednesday, the
22nd inst. The guests were invited
to appear in colonial dress and to
meet Martha Washington, who
proved to be Miss Viola Lamb
dressed in her own mothers we'd
ding gown. It was a quaint affair
Of gray silk and Miss Lamb did
justice to her costume. There were
several good costumes: Mrs. Sutton
dressed in d wedding gown of so
years ago; Mrs. Wallin, as Martha
Washington and Mrs. Hogue, as
Janice Meredith. Mrs. Lenhart
also wore an old-fashioned wedding
gown while other ladies wore fchus
and large white aprons to represent
the Puritan ladies. The various
ladies had powdered their hair or
appeared with long curls of the
long ago time. Little Clement was
dressed in true colonial style to rep
resent the Father of his Country
and he was very sweet-with the
knee breeches, cooked hat and long
clothes. The amusement for the
afternoon was all a guessing contest:
The prize going to Mrs. NuessJe
for the most correct answers and
for drawing the best pictures of
G.. Washington. Several ladies cut
for first consolation prize, Miss A.
Patterson winning. In the cut for
the second consolation prize. Mrs.
Sullivan won. The lunch served
was true colonial style, oysters in
the half shell and baked beans and
the rest of the necessaries for q
New England luncheon. The house
was tastefully decorated in the ma
tional colors and looked very pretty.
Altogether, it was an enjoyable &C.
casion.

Yesterday was payday at the mine
and as usual several of the boys took
on a little too much bad booze.
But one seemed to be worse than
the rest, and was only hitting the

This morning, at about 6 o'clock,
he was coming from the south along
the depot platform and forgot all
about the projection of the bay
window and landed in the Office,
scratching his face and hands in.
