Wedding Anniversary.

A merry party to the number of
twenty meandered to the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Tyler on Sunday
afternoon, to remind them that it
was their twelfth marriage anniver-
sary. 1t is needless to say it was a
complete surprise but we are glad to
say they recovered and proceeded to
entertain their unlimited guests in
the royal manner of which they are
noted, Mr.. Tyler having inherited
this gift from his father, which so
many of us remember with great
pleasure After time of pleasant
converse the ladies brought out their
well filled baskets and served supper
which was followed by the presen-
tation of a purse by L. Brakeman to
the honored couple. This was fol-
lowed by vocal and instrumental
music, furnished by the Tyler family.
assisted by Messrs. Linneyold, Zuck-
meyer and Hanson.
Prof. Hauswirth was then called
upon, who responded with his most
popular lecture entitled "X Y ~
The guests then took their depart
ure, all feeling that they had enjoyed
an occasion that would long be re-
membered by those who were so for
tunate as to be present. Xxx

Educational Exhibit a Revelation.

On Friday afternoon Supt III. O.
Johnson of the city schools arranged
an exhibit of the work done during
the year by the pupils of the high
school and the different grades. 1t
was done simply with the view of
permitting the citizensywho cared to
do so to Inspect the system now en-
ployed in the different branches of
education, its practicability. and its
advantages over the old methods. Dur
ing the entire afternoon large num-
bers took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to see the display, and all ex-
pressed surprise and commentator
over the excellent showing made. 1t
is simply wonderful what the little
folks accomplish in the schools of to-
day. Besides the regular class work,
the development in art. in sewing,
manual training. etc. is revelation
to one who takes notice of it for the
first time. The occasion was
thoroughly enjoyed by all who az
cepted the invitation to see the dis
play.
Friday evening play was given by
the school in the high school room.
There was a large number present,
packing the room, and the presenta-
tion Of" Hickory Holler'' was of such
a character as to bring out repeated
and hearty applause. 1t netted up
wards of fifty dollars for the high
school library

Tho Commuters Weakness.

"Be suburbanite ever so truthful,
there is one thing he always lies
about" said the man who has COM
muted for many years, land that is the
distance from his house to the railway
station. He seems to think he'll be
disgraced If he admits it's over fifteen
minutes walk, though ten chances to
one he has to tumble out of bed good
and early to make his train. Lots of
men who come to the city with me ev-
cry morning have to allow nearly half
an hour to get to the station, but every
man Of them says nOnchalantly when
the question is put them. oh, can
make the station easy in fifteen min
utes.' The way they puff and pant
when they Chamber aboard is evidence
enough that they don't make the sta
ton easy. ] can't imagine what makes
them lie about It, If they want to live
miles from the railway station it's no.
body's business but their own, and no.
body cares, but each one seems to think
1t is matter to be carefully concealed.
In all my years of travelling back and
forth ! have yet to meet commuter
who admittedly lives over fifteen min
utes' walk from the station, and new
er expect to find one."-New York

Martha w Washing-
 ton Tea AT LIBRARY BUILDING SATURDAY AFTERNOON. A Pleasant Social Event. BRIDES OF THE YEAR IN AN TIQUE COSTUME SERVE
 THE TEA.

A charming event socially was at the Martha Washington tea at the Library building, Saturday afternoon, and al- though the program was shortened by accident, and through no one's fault, the occasion proved enjoyable to all present. It had been expected that Miss Agnes E. Platt of New York would sing and recite, but she was pre- vented by engagements in Danbury and Morristown, N. J. Leon Del bridge was to sing, but at the last moment he was prevented from being present by the sudden illness of his wife. The informal program present. ed included piano solos by Mrs John J. Northrop, recitations by Mrs Wallace Mitchell, Miss Marie Beecher, Mrs c. S. Platt and Master Gordon Gale, while c. F. Reardsley stepped into the breach and told humorous story. The tea tables with their candelebra and dainty coverings looked very attrac tive. The waltresses were the brides of the year in Colonial costume, Mrs H. G. Warner, Mrs s. E. Sanford, Mrs James Nichols, Mrs Wallace Mitchell, Mrs John J. Northrop and Mrs Tracey Peck. Master Gordon Gale, in the cos tune of a page, attended the door, while Gustave Carlson in Colonial cos tune, sold tickets. The new piano, a Curtis, was used for the first time, and its tune and quality was praised. The tea netted about $15. In the even- ing few gathered for whist.

something thrilling in reserve and in the next instalment we may look for rare excitement.
 The lack of prejudice shown in the criticisms and votes received from all parts of the country is striking feat ure of the literary contest. Many who have frankly acknowledged their pre- ference in the beginning of the contest ton, of England, is to be awarded a large sum of money in honor of the greater popularity as a novelist, which is to be determined by vote. Every one is interested in the result and ev- cry one has an equal chance in taking part in the contest. The Herald pays this tribute to the intelligence and fairness of the American people, and it is meeting with the response and ap- preciation which it seems to deserve.

As the plots of the two great novels
 now running serially in the New York Herald's Anglo-American competition unfold and the stories approach a cli- max. voters and critics wax enthusi- astic. Mrs Mary E. Wilkins Freeman continues to hold the lead. She has made a decided gain over her compet- itor. Mir Max Pemberton, as the result of the publication of the fifth install ment of her story. Previous to this, the American author was apparently marshalling her forces together and she has taken her readers by storm in the way she has developed plot and created interest in the characters in
 ''The Shoulders of Atlas" But Mir Pemberton is too clever a writer and
 understands the art of pleasing his readers too well to allow ''Sir Richard Escombe" to enjoy more than tempo rary respite from wild adventures and romantic deeds. AS one critic sug- gests, "Mr Pemberton evidently has

THE POET DEAD.
BY ANGIE M. LUCKE.

Beside his desk with pen in hand,
 The poet calmly passed away; No waiting by the rivers strand,
 Fer crossed OCT its ebbing sway. The winters sun had cast its length, Upon his desk its beams lay gold; Grown yellow as they lost their strength So soon their glowing lights would fold.
 The poets mantle round him flung, He wrote his memories of the past Nor knew life's feeting sands were run So bright they drifted to the last. Great poet of the present age,
 A nation weeps, thy book laid
 down;
 Its great last written, futtering page Still breathing of that angel one. Who came so softly all unknown,
 While shadows waited longer grown And fading light crept round his form Holding their day till his day done. Great ones in mourning grieve for him, The poet one whose day is done; He gave his thoughts in fairest rhyme Throughout the world his fame is
 known.
 Midst winters gloom he passed away, Cold winters light lay on the hills: 'Mid-winter month was holding sway Over the wood and frozen rills. While ages come his name will stand As passing in King Winters reign; His poet friends throughout the land Are gathering memories of his
 fame.
 His work was ever true and strong, Bright burns the candle of his fame |; While feeble ones he helped in song, Will cast their garlands round his
 name.
 His name will live till time has flown. His Christian life his soul will save !; While sobbing winds so coldly blown, Sing requiem OCT the poets grave.

PHYSICIANS DISCUSS
new THEORY
C0Oper's Views of Human Stomach Noted
by Medical Men.

A recent article in the New Orleans
Item gives an account of the effect
upon the medical profession of that
city with regard to L. T. Cooper's the
DRY that the human stomach is respon-
sible for most ill health. The article
is as follows:
''The astonishing sale of Cooper's
preparation in this city has now reach
ed such immense figures that the medi-
cal fraternity have been forced into
open discussion of the mans theories
and medicines.
1.-The physicians seem to be divided
with regard to the young mans sue
cess in New Orleans-some being will
ing to credit him for what he has &C.
complished, while others assert that
the interest he has aroused is but a
passing fad that will die out as quickly
as it has sprung up.
"In statement recently obtained
from a wellknown physician of this
city, the position of those in favor of
Cooper is we'll voiced. The doctor said:
4 am not believer in proprietary
medicines. but must admit that some
