HALLOWEEN NIGHT
 PROPERLY CELEBRATED
The Small Boy Considerably Re- trained From His Usual Depreda- tions.

Saturday night was a glorious one in Tempe. The town looked like a city of 10000 inhabitants The streets were crowded. there was music and enthusiasm on all sides, and an occa- sional bomb from the top of the butte that shook the window glasses only added to the general excitement that [ prevailed The nonresident will won der quite naturally what all this meant. but those who live here did not have to ask. They had been fore warned and were prepared
 In the first place it was the occa- sion of the last republican rally in town this campaign; secondly. it was Halloween, and this occasion was celebrated in truly charming man. ner; the small boy considerately con- fined his operations to a few bridges and gates, and the usual disturbing element seemed to be at rest for one would hardly have realized yesterday morning that the night before had been Halloween. The small boy has the sincere thanks of the public for the generous attitude he assumed The general public is entirely too DhSS JOSN e1N tAAAo NAAilt III llltlltlS pO- litical to spend a day hunting up bug gies and perchance removing them from the top of some building.
 The young people of the Normal and those who attend the Normal but who do not reside at the dormitOry. vied with each other in making the evening pleasant for their many friends. That they were successful no one who had the pleasure of being at either function can deny. The Out Cast Witches. as they choose to style themselves. being the non -dormitory resident young ladies. gave a delight full Halloween party at the Casa Loma. The hotel was brilliantly lighted inside and out, adding to the general appearance of levity. Little attempt was made at interior decOra- tiOns by the young ladies; it was not necessary. The Halloween spirit pre- vailed in sufficient quantity. The din ing room had been cleared for dancing and good music had been supplied. This pleasure occupied the attention of the guests until late hour though for those who did not care to dance other amusements had been provided. It was a charming little affair, and the young ladies who were responsible for it were warmly congratulated by their delighted guests.
 At the dormitOry the evenings en- tertainment consisted of a poverty ball. This was given in honor of the victorious athletes from the high school, though at the time it was plan ned it was not intended that it should be rendered them in honor of the vic tory. The fact, however. that the Nor nal suffered defeat in the contest of the afternoon was not permitted to interfere with the pleasure of the young people in the least. The hall 1 was artistically decorated in accord ance with the spirit of Halloween. Witches dens and fortune teller's tents were placed in the four corners of the room. Though a poverty ball. many of the costumes were in direct contrast to that state and were both handsome and attractive. During the evening light refreshments were served and dancing continued until half past eleven.
 In this chronicle of the events of i Halloween evening the tamale supper given by the ladies of the Christian church should not be overlooked. The ladies were given generous patron age and not tamale was left unsold when at a late hour the tired ladies completed their work.
 In all it was a fine evening. and the only pity is that Halloween. if all could be as pleasant as was this one, comes but once each year.
