A Big lime with the Rebeka's

It's no use arguing the ques-
tion. The farmes are ''it," and
no mistake. Saturday night last
was the regular meeting of Lill-
ian Lodge No. 20, Daughters of
Rebekah, and as the members
of the lodge at a previous meet
ing had served a supper to the
members, last Saturday night,
the members from the country
concluded to surprise the lodge
by serving. a banquet for the
members, and to make the sur
prise the more complete, they
kept all knowledge from the
town members until after all
the business of the lodge had
been completed and the lodge
regularly closed, then the door
of the banquet hall was thrown
open and all were invited to en-
ter. Imagine our surprise on go
ing in, to find long tables, all
loaded with every good thing to
eat, and some hundred happy
men and women, with some of
the children of members of the
lodge, We're seated at the tables
and enjoying just such a spread
as the Rebekah's know so we'll
how to prepare. The surprise
was complete, but that did not
inevent the guests from enjoy
ing the good things set before
them, and until a late hour ev-
cry thing went merry ''as a
marriage bell.' We were soon
like the boy who visited a neigh
Dor, and after eating hearty and
being pressed to eat more, said:
"We can chaw more, but we
can't swallow any more y
After eating to our hearts
content, we left and soon
was enjoying a sweet sleep, but
was disturbed ere long by a
bad dream; we engage in a ter
rlble contest with a lot of bears
wolf and wildcat, with a few
snakes, but we succeeded in kill

Roosevelt ever saw in all his

thank the Sister Rebekah's for
their magnificent spread, we
can but hold the opinion that
they intended to kill us
by providing SO tempting a re
past, and now assure them that
we came through the ordeal in
fine shape, right side up with
care and will never be satisfi-
ed until we of the city furnish
q return supper to our friends.
and while we cannot expect to
be SO elaborate In our spread, we
can assure them that our appre-
citation of their surprise is none
the less On our part, and that
they will enjoy it when it comes
