A TIN SHOWER

The fun that was created among
the many friends of w. H. Hall, prin-
cipal of the Whitman graded school,
when an article appeared in the
Daily World announcing his marriage
to young lady in Oregon, reached
climax Tuesday evening when his fell
low boarders gave him tin shower
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. L. w.
Mills, 226 Okanogan avenue. The
whole affair had been carefully
planned and kept a secret from Mr..
Hall until supper was announced
and the lights turned on in the dining
ROOM The table Was trimmed with
festoons of red ribbon, tin spoons and
Oregon grape vines, extending from
the ceiling above the center of the ia
BILE to the four corners. The table was
laid with tin plates and tin cups,
while in front, on top and around
Mr.. Halls plate were piled parcels of
| tinware too numerous to mention,
| from a dinner pail down to little tin
cups and toys, enough to last the lit
tie Halls for two generations. 1t was
very pleasant little party, never to
be forgotten by those present, espe-
cially the young men, who are each
in hopes that his turn will come next.
During the merry-making toast was
read by Mrs. Mills, as follows:
| He came to us in the autumn when
the leaves began to fall,

Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is

A child is much more likely to con-

cure the cold the less risk. Cham

known to you all:
We liked his stately bearing, hi
pleasant, manly ways.
He was like sunshine in our home
through the long, dark winter
days.
We hoped that he would stay with us
until the first of June,
But other happiness awaits him, SC
he leaves us all too soon,
While we all regret his going, our
loss will be his gain,
To him a new world will open up and
and life will never be the same
But we trust that it will be for bet
ter than the life you leave be-
hind,
For there is nothing like loving
wife to make man noble, brave
and kind.
Don't scorn your poor young bachelor
friends in your new life of bliss,
But look with pity upon them pray
while at Mills they must stay
and eat of their poor hash.
Think of your bed-fellow half frozen
Curled up until his face touches his
toes;
No more your good warm back he'll
feel
Nor tickle your lbs to make yen
S1ueal
Like Satan in your sleep.
