 A joke is a joke, all right, all right. But when it comes to putting young calf in skating rink and then lock- ing the doors, it reaches the stage of a huge joke, and the rink people say it goes far beyond that, and becomes not only nuisance but one which should be made the subject for peace officers. As there is only one rink and one calf the location and animal can be traced with ease, but the jokers are unknown, though, SUD- posedly some of the Halloween night hawkers.
 In spite of the inclement weather the Methodist Church was well nigh crowded at last evenings service. The short talks by the pastor are in- teresing and enjoyable. and the sing ing of the choir is excellent. A solo by Mrs. Gallentine, sweetly rendered. was featured by accompaniments of both organ and mandolin. Alto gether, the music and congregational singing is attractive, and interspiced with innovations and leadership of the pastor make the hour of worship one of real pleasure and worthiness.

Grand old Uncle Sam's flags were in evidence, Mexicans, Germans, Indians, Span iards, gypsies and old maids, etc., etc. Who can guess this one:
 Her mouth was like cellar,
 Her foot was like ham,
 Her eyes as bright as an owls at night,
 Aud her voice was never calm.
 Throngs of spectators were amused by the antics and cutting up of the ghost, and live ones on the floor. All unn a ,ked at ten o'clock. Many sur prises happcnd. The floor was then offered free to the ladies present, and the skating continued on. And the rink will be open again tonight, provided the calf is killed.
