The Eagles Celebrate

The anniversary of the organization of Douglas Aerie No. IT., Fraternal Order of Eagles is celebrated each year with more or less ostentation. We do not mean 10 say that the members of this organization are given over to the making of great display, nor are the good deeds of the aerie shouted from the house-tops. But, on this one day in the year, modesty is forgotten, and the Eagles go in for celebration and good time.
 One ofthese anniversary celebrations took place last Sunday afternoon at the Eagles Hall. There were present the members of the order and as many invited guests as the hall would hold. An orchestra of seven pieces, under the leadership of Prof Carl Strom, furnish- ed music such as seldom heard in these parts. Mr. Elmer F. Smith, worthy president, acting as master of cere- monies, called forth from the jolly crowd a number of victims who, with more or less willingness gave exhibi- tions of their wit and ability. The Irishmen danced and sang, the Scandi- naviens aud Scotchmen told yarns, the Dutchmen drank beer and smoked. Everyb body to their liking, so all were happy.
 We were told by one of the Bro Eagles that the extent and magnitude of last Sundays celebration was not sufficient to satisfy these ambitious birds although many were filled and none sent away empty. Plans for monster blow out at the Palm Garden are already being laid. We can only say, let it come.

When Will the Order of Eagles
 be Dead?

When the lions eRt grass like an OK,
 And the tshworm swallows the whale When the robbins knit wollen soN,
 Aud the hare is outrun by the snail. When the seq serpents stand right up like
 men
 And doodle bugs travel like frogs; When grasshopper, feed like the hen, And feathers arc found on hogs. When the Thomas cats swim thro' ths air And elephants rOost on trees; When insects in summer are rare,
 When snuff never makes you sneeHe. When fish creep over dry land,
 And mules on bicycles ride; When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
 And hearts of true Eagles of stone. When Dutchmen no longer drink beer And girls go to preaching on time; When Billy Goats butt from the rear, And treason no longer is a crime. When ideas grow in a baboon's head, And wool on the hydraulic ram. Then will the order of Eagles be dead, And the country won't be worth DAMS.

Lawson Creek Tragedy

There was once a man who took tramp through the woods, near Lawson creek. Meantime a severe rainstorm came up and to protect himself he crawled into hollow log. After the rain subsded he tried to extricae himself, but found he was imprisoned because the log had swollen. The thoughts that come to man about to pass in his checks sprang before him. He thought of the apples and melons he had stolen when boy; the days he had played "hookey"; the various misdeeds as young man, but still he remain ed prisoner. Finally, he thought of the wrong he had done his wife and children by neglectng to buy them some of those fine shoes at the DOUGLAS CLOTHING COMPANY, as he had intended to. It troubled him terribly and made him feel so small that it enabled him to crawl out of the log.

About two O'Clock this afternoon
two young railroad men, said to be

the Royalty club saloon on the corner
of second street and Colorado avenue
and after a war of words over some
matter Of contention they went at
each other with their fists. They

the evident delight Of big crowd

The young men were about evenly
matched for time They covered
quite ring territory on the broad
sidewalk and finally one of the men
knocked the other through the plate
glass front of the Royalty saloon
The men then shook hands and de-
clared the row off.
However little later the men were
going east on Colorado avenue they
reopened hostilities and several ad-

man was badly bested this time, he
acknowledged his defeat and again
