The TnIe OF the cake.

RShe wa going to n of those old
fashioned surprise parties where every
one was supposed to take something
10 eat, as the hostess was to be the
surprisee, SO she decided to take a
cake.
OF course she picked out cocoanut.
II looked big and fluffy, and good
enough to melt in the mouth of any
one, and 1t took her only a moment
to choose 1t. The saleswoman placed 1t
in a square box. and out went The
Girl with her purchase.
Pretty soon she looked down at the
parcel and decided that she was carry
ing IT upside down, SO h promptly
reversed 1t. No sooner vas this done
than she became convinced that the
way she had it first was the right
way and she turned it around again.
She did this on an average of twice
every fifteen minutes on h way to
the party, which was about an hours
ride from the city.
She was one of a jolly bunch OF girls
and boys, all of whom vent down In
the same car. When they went to get
out they discovered a huge puddle right
In front of the step. In q wild effort to
clear the puddle The Girl forgot about
the cake, crushed the box under her
right arm and jumped.

all invited to gaze on the wreck of the

HesperuF couldn't hold a candle.
Most of the icing had left the cake

the three layers had become as one.
At first The Girl felt like weeping,
but everybody laughed so nue. that
she began to feel quite proud, as IL
she had done something funny.
The cake was a blessing in a way
for it served to get everyone talking
to everyone else, and the ice, which
often spoils a party, was broken.

proper mood they can derive fun from

DID you ever enjoy a good long
tramp In the rain?
II do not mean at a time when you

of are your wet feet and your damp
skirts.
But it's different wnen, after look

your face, and the locks of hair ina

they would drive o frantic. A gust
Of wind that nearly turns your UNI

10 your enjoyment, for the charm OF the
storm seems to belong to you and is
completely unseen by them,

upon your mood.
This always proves itself, so why

looking for pleasure, but cultivate a
mood which will cause you to see en-

| Lovilia, Sept. l4.--The war between
the saloon and anti-saloon forces in
| Monroe county reached an acute stage
| this place after an indignation meet
| ing, marched in body to the home OF
Major Cobb, searched the house from
top TO bottom and destroyed a quantity
of liquor found on the premises After
the liquor had been spilled out upon
the ground the women knelt down and
prayed aloud for Major Cobb.
1t was the most spectacular demon
stration of the kind ever known in
the vicinity. The women learned that
Cobb had secured liquor a few days
before which he intended to sell. They
met to decide course of action and
when it was proposed that they should
raid the place there was unanimous
assent.
They stopped on their way to secure
a search warrant and thus armed
swooped down upon the Cobb premises.
The major was guarded by some Wom-
en- while the others set about to search
the house. They went from cellar to
attic, even securing spades and dig
ging about in the yard where straw
was scattered about.
They found twenty-four quart bot
ties and three gallon jugs of whisky
concealed in the attic after a long
search and then joined in the merry
work of smashing the liquor.
The woman have given it out that
this should be an object lesson, and
they threaten to emulate Carrie Ma
lion just as often as they learn liquor
has been shipped into the place.
A Second Seizure.
A second seizure of liquor was made
later in the night. Three men were
caught driving two loads of liquor
from Hiteman to Lovilla and were
seized and the men were fined $40
for transporting liquor without a la
bel. The liquor will be destroyed.
The goods were brought into the
county in wagons, as the authorities
have been seizing all packages sent
into the depots by freight The anti
saloon forces are organized and
to destroy all liquor shipped
into the county.
At Hooking trial was held In the
justice court over the seizure of a
quantity of liquor by Sheriff Griffin.
A jury of miners sat upon the case and
returned a verdict that the goods
could not be held. The liquor was re-
leased but was Immediately seized
anew and taken to Abba. where an
other trial will be held as soon as the
anti-saloon forces can. file the neces-
sary papers
Monroe county is in turmoil over
the matter.

the people by taking his departure from

therein, his landlord, to whom he was
indebted for, considerable rent, to take
the same, that he had to go, and could
not pay. Mr.. Kimmlinger had been in
the merchant tailoring bubsiness for
r.cre than fifteen years, and was a
good workman, but let the drink habit
get the best of him far too often. His
departure leaves good opening for a
