The first meeting of the State Science
and Mathematics Association meets at
the state university, Nov. 9th. This
association is made up of all teachers
of science and mathematics in the state
high schools of North Dakota. 1t is
designed to improve these departments
of secondary education by discussions
given by the various members and the
faculty of the state university.
DIR. Stewart of the department of
Physics in the state u has received a
large assortment of apparatus for dem

The good derived from this association
can not be measured in money as it will
greatly increase the efficiency of the
instruction and instructors of these de-
partments, since new ideas and appara-

in modern instruction. Therefore, it is
imperative that instructors keep abreast

TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
Surprise Party for Mr.. and Hrs. p. e. Peterson
Last Friday Evening.

Surprise Party for Mr.. and Hrs. p. e. Peterson
Last Friday Evening.
Last Friday evening at nine o'clock
happy crowd of about forty people en-
tered the home of Mr.. and Mrs. PEE.
Peterson of Hample and taking pos
session of their large parlor took a
unanimous vote that they were to cele-
brate a wedding then and there. -:
And to find bride and bridegroom
was not difficult for the lady and lord Of
the house had been selected for that
function several days ago. Escorted
to place of honor, the bridal couple,
upon whom the honors had fallen so
suddenly, were greeted by smiling and
beaming faces all about them.
Speech making was next in order.
Rev. John Safstrom of the Hample
church came forth and reminded of q
happy occasion that took place twenty
five years ago. To show their appre-
citation of the couple who had been
chosen for special honors this evening,
these many friends had brought visi-
ble and beautiful token of their friend
ship-a splendid tea set of silver which
was brought in on a silver tray and de-
posted on table in front of the
bride and bridegroom for their examin-
alton and admiration. An engraving
on the tray told the story:
/: Fredrika and P. E. Peterson, :.
1882-19O7. ::
After the benediction had been pro-
nounced over the bridal couple the first
part of the program for the evening
ended.
Next came refreshments. Itcertain-
ly was fine picture to see the couple
in the place of honor at the first table
loaded with good things, the table en-
tirely surrounded by the P. E. Peter
son family.
After all had partaken of the repast
a season of pleasant conversation fol-
lowed. In remote corner an old timer
even went as far as to relate how he
remembered the time when P. E. Peter
son as a bashful youth wooed and won
blushing Fredrika.
It was at late hour and after much
handshaking, many congratulations
and well wishes for the silver bride and
bridegroom, that the big crowd of
friends went their way rejoicing.

SThirty-Fifth Anniversary.

Fullerton Farmer: A very pleasant sur
was perpetrated last Friday evening
upon Mr.. and Mrs. Alex. Alexanderson
by their many Rosebud friends in honor
of their thirty-fifth wedding anniver-
sary. It was joyous gathering to the
number of about sixty and they made
the dear old home ring with merriment
and good cheer from cellar to garret.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexanderson soon re-
covered from their surprise and soon
arranged for a right good time. The
hosts were the recipients of many
tokens of remembrance. A delicious
luncheon was partaken of after which
the self-invited, but none the less well
come, guests wished the pioneer couple
many happy returns of the day and
reluctantly departed for their homes.
