MRS. KEEP ENTER
TAINS OLD SETTLERS

The handsome Treat residence and
beautiful lawn and vine covered
porch we're Respondent with electric
ity and chinese lanterns last Friday
evening in honor of a social gather
ing of old settlers called together by
Mrs, F. A. Keep in honor of Mrs. ID.
j. Carpenter of Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, who is visiting Mrs. Keep and
other relatives and friends in Canton.
There were few present who could
not read their clear title to a re@i-
dence of thirty years in Dakota; and
others dating back to 1869. 1t was a
party of congenial pioneers and the
youngest of the party were natives
of the Sioux Valley.
Mrs. Keep is a charming and gra-
cious hostess and none enjoyed the
open hearted cordially of the oc-
casion more than she did, smiling
and greeting everywhere her guests
in the enjoyment of a social reunion
that was made doubly pleasant by
the pioneer elements engaged in
discussing the days of long ago with
their trials and the joys, always fac
ing bravely the future under the
undaunted ambition of youth.
Mrs. Keep was determined that
the oldest settler present should
make a speech and upon investigation
she found that Mrs. Jere Gehan To-
Gated below Canton in April 1869, and
the editor of the Leader jumped out
Of a big numbering stage coach in
YanktOn in December 1869; hence
of the Oldest settlers present to Mrs.
Gehan belonged the honor, and
she responded with a spirit that
proved she was a worthy and an elo-
quent representative of the pioneers.
Miss Nellie Keep proved a charm
ing mistress of ceremonies, having
provided delicious refreshments in
Guiding a punch bowl; and back Of
it all sat the Hotchkiss orchestra
filling the air with a harmony that
made the pioneers think of other
days when loves young dream was
the most beautiful thing in life.
Mrs. Carpenter was the center of
the social event and was accorded a
magnificent welcome from her form
er friends and neighbors; and John
w. Bremen declared that she seemed
just as young as when Mr.. CARPENTER
led her to the bridal altar years ago.
In fact time had dealt kindly with
all tie pioneers; all seemed young and
full Of youthful vigor, and of>the fifty
or more present none have, we be-
lieve, reached three score and ten.
Mrs. Keep may be classed as one
of the largest land owners in the
Big Sioux Valley and has three
charming daughters and a son, worthy
of a mothers love and devotion. She
loves the noble hearted pioneers and
believes no people are more
worthy of consideration than those
who came to Dakota Territory and
the Sioux Valley to carve fame and for
tune from the virgin soil of a beauti-
full country being herself the daugh-
ter of one of the prominent pioneers
James A. Carpenter-who located at
Beloit in the 70's and built one of
the first -four mills on the Sioux river.

The editor was given a nine mile
spin out in the country Monday even
ing behind Col. McDermott's spirited
bays with the colonel as pilot. The
trip was made to see how the crops
were coming and all the good reports
in circulation we're verified. Corn
never looked better at this time of the
year; but occasionally a bit of a field
showed marks of too much water.
The wheat, oat and barley crops were
in fine condition although most of
the barley is cut. The clover and
timothy fields were numerous and the
crop magnificent; and the clover fields
were also beautiful. The evenest, the
handsomest and the cleanest field of
oats, noticed on the trip was on the
Ed. L. Wendt farm; and just across
the road and northward was the
splendid corn field Of Mr.. Leffert.
The ride was a delightful one, and
everywhere the wealth of crop gave
evidence that our farmers are energet-
ic and progressive.

A Freak Ear of Corn.

P. A. VanHouton was exhibiting
an ear of corn last Friday which beats
anything Luther Burbank has turned
out. The cor ear was deformed and
a freak made SO by a head of oats
growing out of the corn. It would
seem that a stalk Of oats got mixed
up with the corn and as both we're
together they merged and continued
to grow until the corn ear developed
and the head Of oats became a part of
the corn, the oats getting nurish-
ment from the ear of corn. DIR. Lewis
said that Luther Burbank never pro-
duced such a combination, and Sena-
tor Laxson said it was a harmonious
blending of food products and an evil
dence that South Dakota could beat
the world growing anything from polit
ical harmony to five legged steers.
Such a thing may have taken place
before but the LEADER has no recol-
lection Of ever seeing a head of pats
growing from an ear of corn.

 Of course. as haven't been pre- sented yet and don't know anything about what the season is like fin town. except what Vic has told me, can't judge of the differences at first hand. but then Vic has told me lot, and I have heard Stan and Loveland talk. besides one seems to know ones own country and country people by instinct without having actually to see what they do, and I'm sure that even in the smartest set at home they don't dream of bothering their heads to think of such original entertainments as in America.
 In England there are just two or threc kinds of parties. You give n crush. which Is grand if you have q big house, or you ask . few bright. particular ones and enjoy yourself. Or in tho country you have house party and pick out the men because they can shoot and the women because they are pretty, or else, if it's winter, you hunt and you have theatricals. But the Americans at Newport turn up their noses at that slow. old fash toned kind of thing. They lie awake nights Q'm sure they musn to think of something so original that nobody else can ever have had anything the least like it before It is better, too, to have 1t very sensational and star tling. If you are invited to a party, you never know n bit what it will be like, whether you will dance ill a barn and eat your supper on horseback out of decorated managers, whether there will be captive balloons at a garden party, whether Noah's ark will have been rigged up on q minla- ture lake or whether you will have q pair of skates provided for you and find yourself cutting figures on the ice In gorgeously illuminated skating rink. with tho thermometer up to good ness knows how many degrees outside.
 Of course. ill place where every. body gets nervous prostration trying to outdo everybody else in originality and extravaganza, 1t wouldn't be like Mrs. Ess Kay to let herself fall behind.
 She simply made up her mind that her big entertainment should be the affair of the season before she decided what form it should take. She thought instead of sleeping for several nights and began to wear the expression on her face which have in motor cars when I think we are going to tele- scope with something twice our size, and am trying to prepare for eternity with pleasant smile on my lips. She Tate scarcely anything, telephoned a good deal and took phenacetin in hot milk. Then suddenly it came to her.

KNOWING THINGS TOO WE'LL.


 Very often folks get to know a thing so we'll that they don't have to think to remember it. Take, for instance, your home address. If you have been living in the same house in the same street for years your ad- dress gets easier and easier to recall. Except sometimes. It doesn't take the influence of liquor to make you forget either. It merely is that you who was in the habit of writing let ters to girl and after a year or so he got to know her address by heart. One day, long after he started writ ing to her, he was addressing an envelope to the young woman, when suddenly he became suspicious of the number he had written. He read it aloud and tried other schemes of convincing himself. He wrote the same numbers on other sheets of paper, but they did not seem entirely right. Eventually he had to go over to call on the girl, instead of writing, in order to satisfy himself that he still knew the address. His figures had been perfectly right, but the trouble was that he knew them too we'll. That sometimes occurs to a person giving an address in store. It slips out so naturally that when by chance the shopman repeats Blank Blankety-blankth street?" you begin to wonder if you have 1t right after all. And the first breath of suspicion kills your chances of remembering correctly. You simply have to go to the directory to verify the place you live in, and naturally that leads to suspicious on the part of the shop keeper. New York Sun.

 We were at lunch when she thought of it. and luckily there were no visitors except Mrs PItchley and Carolyn, MohunsleIgh and Tom Dorcmus. It was bad enough even with them, for she half sprang up. then sat down again. first going red, then going pale. and ve all thought she was getting ready to faint. But as soon as she could speak she said. when we shrieked at her. ''lt's nothlng-no nothing. I've just thought of something. that's all"
 Afterward. when she md Sally and Potter and l were alone together, she told us that at last she had got the Inspiration for her big entertainment.
 It was two days after the violet tea. 50 1t was quite time shc should get 1t. she said, and she had been dreadfully worried because the Invitations ought to go out almost at once. The famous pink ball at the Casino was for the 23d, and she wanted to have her party the night before, so that everybody would be worn out, and the ball would | fall fiat.
 But we've got. our cards all right now" said Potter. "Why do you want to queer the show|
 T intend to show Mrs. Van der ! Windt what can do,' she answered Suppose a lot of the people you want refuse you, so that they can be fresh for the ball" Sally suggested
 "They won't" said Mrs. Ess Kay, "when they have seen what shall say on the invitations"
 1 Then she got up, went to her desk, {, took out some engraved cards which she had ready, all but filling in the date, and wrote something in one cor ner What do you think of that?' she asked Sally.
 Sally took the card, looked at it for minute, laughed and passed it Oil to me, while Potter came and stared over my shoulder.
 She had written across the card: Fancy Dress, with Masks. A Visit to the Maze; and Aladdins Cave" ! Do you think that will bring them?" she inquired, with trium- plant and mysterious air -
 "I think 1t will" said Sally.
 You know your business, old girl" remarked Potter. They'll want to know what it means, and they'll be bound to come and find out. What is your idea, anyway"
 "I'll tell you another time," said Mrs. Ess Kay. q should like it to be surprise for Betty, just as it will be for the people outside. She'll enjoy 1t more"

TINONINE Emulsion of Flax Seed:l
How Sickness Comes.

Most fatal sicknesses have their beginnings in a simple "cold" or in a slight cough.
 Consumption first shows in 2 cough.
 Bronchitis is accompanied by a cough.
 The first stage of La Grippe is a ''cold."
 Pneumonia is preceded by cough and violent cold"
 Croup--that terrible malady ol childhood--comes solely as condi- ton of "cold."
 Rheumatism generally follows neglect after exposure and the con. sequent "cold" or cough.
 Kidney Troubles, including Bright's disease and other fatal com plications, are often due to cold which settles in that region.
 And there are countless other grave sicknesses which are rec ognized by the medical profession as having their direct or indirect cause in c neglected "cold" or cough.
