their natal day, but sometimes. so 1t is
said, other persons have the gift of con-
versing with the airy visitants on such
occasions.
Saint Matrlmony is the patron saint
of Halloween and indeed this autumn
holiday is best known as the night of all
nights for peering into the future and
especially for discovering Just what sort
of husband or wife fate has selected for
each unmarried participant in the rites
1t is this function of the holiday which
helps to keep its observance alive with
the young people of the nation and not a
few of their elders who are yet youthful
in spirit. Not only are the mysterious
spirits that are abroad on Halloween
supposed to be infaIlible In their verdicts
but 1t is also of manifest advantage that
they demand neither fee nor reward for
piercing the veil that hides the future.
The performance of some very simple
ceremony Is all that Is cxacted of the
curious young man or woman who would
learn interesting particulars regarding the
destined life-partner.
The origin of Halloween seems to be
hidden in Fan intermingling of classic
mythology and Christian superstitions.
The plan of making nuts and apples con-
spicuous in the Halloween festivities is
traced back to the custom of the ancient
Romans to hold on November a feast
to Pomona, the goddess of fruits and
seeds, at which time there was formal
opening of the stores of eatables laid
up in summer for use during the winter.
On this same date occurred the great
mfr f0 cun wi yUh fha
Druids or ancient Celts celebrated thanks
giving for their harvest and 1t was the
belief of the Druids that Non the eve of

Seriously Burned.

Mrs. Mars Harris, who resides over
the Capital Shoe store, met with an
accident last Thursday afternoon in
which she sustained serious burns and
for a time her life was despaired of.
At this writing she is being we'll cared
for at the city and county FROST hos
pital and reports as to her condition
are very encouraging.
1t seems that Mrs Harris was en-
gagged in sweeping the room and while
STOPPING down with her back to an
alright stove, her skirts caught fire
from the overheated stove and before
she was aware of her danger her
clothes were all ablaze She ran
down stairs and out into the street
screaming and calling for help, and
several men who happened to be near
ran to her assistance. Peter Free
berg, who happened to be in the shoe
store at the time, was the first to offer
assistance and Immediately took his
overcoat off and succeeded in smother
ing the flames. She was carried into
the shoe store and physicians sum-
moned. After giving the woman tenn
porary relief she was removed to the
hospital, where it was found that her
burns, tho Of serious nature. were
not deep, as they were only surface
burIs. Her BODY was badly burned
I from The hou,t C4tdi down tuv Guc!1 ~
her lower limbs and the arms suffered
| from the blaze as far as the elbows.
Her hair was so badly singed as to
necessitate cutting it. The best OF
care was given her by the nurses and
the attending physician is hopeful OF
her recovery.
Mrs. Harris has an only child, Ii
months old, who is being cared for
by Mrs. Christine Hanson, who re-
sides in the west part ofthe city. Her
husband is employed at present by
Charles Smith and has been putting
up hay near Pennock. The family
came here from Indiana late last fall
and are comparatively strangers in the
city. Mr.. Harris was for time in
the employ of the Great Northern
Railway company. Everything pos
sible is being done to relieve them in
their unfortunate circumstances.

The 10th anniversary OF the marriage
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob II. jacobson,

out-of-town relatives.
Mr.. Jacobson and his estimable
wife, whose maiden name was Miss
Matilda Amundson. were united in
marriage at Hadlev, Mimi, Nov. II.
1881, and the anniversary WHEN Should
have been celebrated on this date was
postponed from the busy fall season
until last Thursday so as to make it
more convenient for some of the guests
to be here. The selection of the holt
day season for celebrating the happy
event made it doubly pleasant affair
for all who participated. The celebra-
ton took place at four O'Clock.
The rooms were beautifully decorated
in red and green, the Christmas colors,
fl lowers and ported plants being pro-
fusely used. Carl and Mabel Jacob.

Mr.. Jacobson led in prayer. A song
by Carl and Mabel Jacobson and Miss
Helen Sather was then rendered, fol-
lowed by the reading by Mrs. Jacob
son of a part of the l45th Psalm, who
also made few remarks. Miss Helen
Sather then gave a vocal solo, after
which the entire company stood and
sang "Praise God from Whom all
Blessings Flow.' Thanksgiving and
prayer were then offered by Mrs.
Jacobson.
A table was placed in the center of
the room and on it were many costly
silver articles. One was a gift received
from Buffalo, N. Y. There was a
check from Mrs. Jacobson's father,
mother, sister and other members of
the family living at Thief River Falls,
who could not be present at the silver
anniversary celebration.
A sumptuous repast was participant
ed in when the guests we're all seated
to table and six O'Clock dinner
was served in courses.
The evening was spent in delight
fully social way and several musical
numbers added much to the enjoy
ment.
Mr.. and Mrs. jacobson have been
blessed with four children, all of
whom are living and at home with
their parents. They are Henry Mabel,
Carl and George. During the fam
ily's short residence in this city they
have made many friends, who will be
glad to extend to the couple who thus
celebrated twenty-five years of happy
married life most hearty congratula-
tons.
The guests from out of the city were
Mrs. Silver Amundson and son Albert,
of Hadley; Mrs. Martin, son and

Remembered Their Pastor.

Among the pastors of the city who
we're nicely remembered by their con-
gregations during Christmas was Rev.
M. B Michaelson, pastor of the Luth-
eran Free church. He was presented
with handsome cutter, while his es-
Unable wife was remembered with a
fine sideboard. The presentation was
made on Christmas eve by Messrs.
Hans Rude and Sivert Johanson, who
visited the parsonage and presented
the gifts in behalf of the congregation.
It is needless to say that it was q
most happy surprise for the recipients.

new ORLEANS
AGGREGATION IS
warm MEDICINE

The heavy rain yesterday afternoon
prevented the game scheduled to be
played by the Postals, of New Orleans,
and the Hattiesburg outfit.
The postponement was matter of
great regret to the eager fans who
are so anxious to see the Red Birds
go up against sure enough strong
club, but they had to wait until this
morning as it was decided to play one
game of the series this morning and
another this afternoon, always with
the understanding that it doesn't rain.
The game this morning was good
one and convinced the fans as well as
the players themselves that the Red
Birds are not to be sneezed at by any
means. The clubs--both of them--put
up fine game and the feature plays
We're the kind that makes the red
blood run faster in fans veins.
Without doubt the Postals are
good team but they banked up against
a pretty good outfit when they collided
with the Hattiesbugr hustlers as they
now are aware and the following
games will be well played by both
teams as they are supposed now to
have somewhat of line on each
others style of playing ball.
The game was warm one from the
moment the first ball went over the
plate and there was not a moment
when the interest tagged.
Up to the eighth inning the Hatties-
burg team had not scored and the boys
were getting sore over their luck, but
in that inning two men scored and the
score then read to in favor of the
Postals.
The game ended with the full nine
innings played and the score un-
changed.
| 1t is said that the visiting team is a
badly mixed up affair as there are Pos
tails, Eddys. Parker-Blakes and Lum.
bertons playing on it, but 1t is an
unknown fact whether this mixture
tended to strengthen the regular Pos
tails or not.
