THE SINGLE DOZEN.

On Wednesday evening the Single
Dozen and their gentlemen friends
were pleasantly entertained at the home
of Miss Maude Pearce, on Jones ST., by
that estimable hostess and Miss Isla
Evans. Cause of meeting low standing
the gentlemen have averaged of late
in Cupid's Arts, all being below seventy
five per cent with no prospects of a
gain. Accordingly they were assembled
at 3 o'clock in the handsomely decorat-
ed parlor and assigned envelopes, along
with the ladies, which contained direc-
tiOns how to make suitable match
for life. After much searching each
one found their cOZy corner and part
ner, when |. |. Evans, professor of
Proposalosophy, gave a neat introduc
tory address on how to propose, giving
both sexes much good advice in the art
of matchmaking, afterwards giving the
occupants of the twelve coy corners
chance to make an open proposal. Miss
Ina Palmer was accepted after telling
him what he had to do, and won first
prize, sterling silver hat pin. Richard
Teahan captured the lady and second
prize, a fine comb and case.
Sir Cupid, instructor in Spoonology,
was next in order, His servants were
two Little Cupids, Etha Beatty and
Nathalie Knapp who served, first,
spoons for each couple tied together
with ribbon, then cocoa, sandwiches
cut heart shape, chocolate nut ice
cream and waters, waiting on the
twelve with "smiles that wouldn't
wear off"
Cupid's Art Gallery was next and
contest was waged the result being Miss
Mabelle Herbert became the possessor
of a fine box of bon bons,
The fortunes fastened to hoop from
the ceiling created much excitement,
There were twelve red and twelve
white bags hanging from this hoop, the
girls choosing white and the boys red.
Much merriment prevailed when the
bags were opened, the verses read and
prizes exposed. After singing by the
Single Dozen quartette and congratula-
tions being extended the Misses Pearce
and Evans for the success achieved
both in decorations and entertainment,
the happy crowd departed to await
with expectancy the next social func-
ton.
st. Valentine has come and gone
The Single Dozen were all on
Hand to receive sweet cuplds fate
From any man caught tete-a-tete.
The men were roped, some gay, some fierce
And herded at the home Of Pearce,
Where all the girls-Rreat on phrenology
Gave first dose Of sweet spoonoogy.
Dickle Te-han was lucky man
And waded I'm to beat the band,
mormon. he could give three starts
And beat him In the game of hearts.
Poor Jimmie Mel-rose up to find
His lady love was left behind,
He has the ring and II Is said
He'll surely be the first to wed.
Ike, It's said Is ambldextrous,
Came late, No lady, 'Nough TO vex u.s.
At the lunch played solitaire
And can work two spoons for fair.

most absorbing topic, and the doctor

most absorbing topic, and the doctor
found an appreciative audience.
Supt. Kellogg then gave a discourse
on the subject "Benefits of education
on the farm" This highly important
question was discussed under two
heads, first the public school education
second, the agricultural education.
The first is of the same benefit to the
farmer as to those of other occupation,
as the farmer, as well as every other
man, is, first of all, a man, citizen and
a home maker. The public school
should not aim to make farmers, be-
cause the future lawyers, doctors and
merchants are also demanding time
and attention. The second, agricultur-
al education, is beneficial first because
it increases the farmers enjoyment,
enables him to get more from the soil
for labor expended and also enables
him to improve his farm rather than
allow it to deterioate. In closing he
said that every line of production
might be increased by better knowl-
edge of farming. If we would give the
farm boy these two kinds of education
we would hasten the day when farm
ing would be given its true rank
among the professions and the man
eight be proud who could say with
truth, 81 am farmer"
In order to simply get an expression
from the people of how they felt in re-
gard to the matter, the question was
put to the audience, chow many would
like to have the institute held here next
year," The response was unanimous.
NOTES.
Concerning fruit trees, l.. b. Rice
gave it as his opinion that in this
locality peach trees had not been in
jured by weather changes of the win
ter, that he had failed to find a single
bud destroyed, but around Capac he
had found three out of every FIVE in
jured.
AS it was forgotten to bring the mat
ter of vote of thanks before the in
stitute, 7. II. Parkinson has requested
The Expositor to kindly thank the
Yale Orchestra for the fine music fur
nished, also the NJ. Il. church choir and
all who took part in the exercises,
thereby making the institute the sue
cess it was, and thanks are also due
the business men and citizens for their
lberality in donating funds for defray-
ing expenses.

pard struck too soon? Was it, indeed,
Inevitable? For the first time there
grew into solid fact the horror Of the
supposition I had several times enter
tained. We We're embarked upon a
war, committed Of our OWL act and
will to a deadly strife, of which no
n of US could see the end. And be-
meath me, stored in the vaults Of the
venerable fortalice, lay the accursed
treasure for which this blood must be
spilled. Hastily I withdrew and mount
ed to the top of the keep. l could bear
the fellowship no longer, and yet there
arose nov upon my mind, p~remeditat-
ing flight, a new perplexity. l dared
not. leave the body there, exposed to
the sight Of the world. Doubling in my
thoughts and torn by shapeless fears,
I stood i%rresolute, but at that moment
my attention was caught by a move
ment in the bushes across the park. A
head peeped out and scrutinized the
scene with diligence. Then Sercombe's
face emerged, red and bloated. He
pushed through the covert and strobe
boldly toward the castle, followed
presently by his companion, q rough,
black fellow, with a gallows look. I
watched them approach and halt I'M
der the walls, facing the dead body I'M
derneath me. l suppose my outline ap-
peared against the Sky. for Sercombe
looked up and fixed his eyes Oh me.
But he said nothing. only addressed
the Greek in an undertone. l leaned
forward and regarded them intently.
The rough fellow stepped to the brink
of the moat and, STOPPING forward.
pulled the floating bough toward him.
1t moved, carrying its hidcous passen-
ger. When next l looked the Greek
had the body on his shoulders, and the
two were retreating into the under
wood. At the end Of the reach of turf
Sercombe came to a stand, and once
more looked up at me. But he still
made no sign, and l could imagine that
the color Of his face had faded. 1t
seemed somehow to me to be ominous
Of the new position in which we were
involved. | descended into the castle.
Outside Sheppard's door | paused. 1t
stood open, and l looked in. The light
streamed through the window and fell
across his face. He lay dressed upon
the bed, q red stain of blood upon his
cheeks, II as l gazed his hands NOV
ed convulsively-a contortion twisted
his sleeping face. l left him and. re-
turning to my W room, threw myself
upon the bed.

apace and struck the castle walls with
fire. l was aware of something in the
moat below. but my mind made no

Suddenly. and at the instant sight of
it, the confusion OF my wits precipi-
tated. and they settled clear and sharp.
The cloud passed from mt. and | stared
with open eyes and a dreadful appre-
citation at the body.
The water was tossed into undula-

the body, supported across Il fallen
branch, rose and fell with the water.

part Of the battlement. But the thought

Sheppard's arm, and, dragging him

he had been thrust, l ran across the
leads toward the round tower of the
keep. Sheppard raced with me. pant

thin stream of black creatures just
visible against the heavens. Scram-
bling up the stairway, we jammed
down the lid which gave access to the
top of the tower and. turning. looked
down upon the neither b~attlements.
After an Intellectual rally upon the
stairs the assailants drew off and,
budding in a group some twenty PAGES
away, whispered together. l heard the
sounds Of their voices stirring in argu-

came to me, family familiar. Where

thing from the terrace. I recognized il:

those strange and horrible creatures,
that seemed somehow to my excited
brain compact of all deformities, were
Greeks-sailors also, as I conjectured
from the smartness Of the trick which
had led to our discontinue. At this
moment a low whistle came from the
farther corner Of the tower, and i'm
mediately two heads stole over the
coping.

what might be accounted a crime
and what was at least provoked
by our own illegal acts. Indeed, the
surprise fell sooner than I had antici-
pated, although it happened by the

still lave Piled his tongue, and, though
he were sworn to secrecy, the private

In deterring US from confding in him.
Burglars were the bugaboo we had
brandished before him, and burglary

celebrate his own cleverness. made his
