HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES.
Christian Endeavor Society
Entertalns In Armory Hail.

Halloween, the night when
hobgoblins and the jack o lant-
ern are out in grand parade. was
duly celebrated by the young
folks. Many persons enjoying
quiet moments during the early
hours of the evening were heard
to give vent to their fright to
the delight Of a band of would-be-
goblins bearing some hideous
jack o'lanterns and armed with
the terrifying tick-taek. Outside
of a few stale jokes perpetrated
during the fore partof the night,
peaceful quiet reigned over
the town during the remain ng
hours.
AT the Social.
Hobgoblins and fortune tellers
were the center of attraction at
the Christian End, avor social
held in the Armory Hall last
Saturday evening. AS the
guests entered the hall they We're
led by the FELLOWSHIP arrayed
goblins to the darkest recesses
of the hall where amidst weird
noises and the clanking of chains
two goblin seeresses warned
them to lead better lives in the
future. In another corner the
fortune teller. seated in her cosy
hut of scarlet, read your future
for a very small fee.
The most entertaining features
of the evening were the different
contests-the hat trimming for
men was won by G.Seaton Taylor
over seven other contestants; the
pencil sharpening contest for
ladies was won by Miss Lillian
Ranney; the button hole contest
for men, won by DR.. A. A. Keene
and the nail driving contest for
ladies won by Miss Belle Ranney.
Games were enjoyed by young
ard old until a late hour. Re
freshments were served from
different booths.

different proposition. II the child is

THE SCHOOL LUNCH.
MARY DALE

Ito Preparation Should Be Made .
Matter Of First Importance.
The school child's MONDAY luncheon
Is a matter of more Importance than
most persons think. There Is no doubt
that It is something Of bother to
prepare 1t. 1t must be done immediate
" after breakfast when there is so
much that is to be done and so little
time In which to do It. The cook is
waiting for orders, the marketman or
grocer is at the door for the list Of
daily supplies, the postman is making
himself heard at the front door, and
the family breadwlnner is gulpiDg
down his last mouthful of coffee be-
fore making a mad rush for the train.
At that moment, too, the baby insists
or having an audience with the queen
of the household and will not be post
poned,"
1t Is indeed trying moment and
one pair Of hands quite too few. The
temptation is strong to say, Just get
a few cookies and some bread and
butter or "Ask Mary to make you
sandwich" The fact is, however. that
the mother who permits any other duty
to interfere with this important mat
ter makes a grave mistake. Instead Of
allowing It to remain until the last
moment she should provide for 1t as
she would for any other meal of the
day. On the day before she should
make sure that she has everything at
hand with which to put up luncheon
that is both digestible and appetizing.

 Disnenser of Kisses

Frenchman. who apparently has been amusing himself by reckoning dp the number of kisses he has given his wife during the first 20 years of his married life.
 He finds that in the first year he dispensed about 100 kisses a day. or, say, allowing for birthdays and legal and church holidays, about 36.700 in the year.
 In the second year this number was reduced by half, and in the third year to ten a day, while in the fifth year his better half had to be content with two a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
 What happened after the fifth year is wrapped in mystery" but at the same rate of progression" he prob ably arrived eventually at one kiss on the first of January every leap year. Chicago American.

BAD ITCHING HUMOR.
Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw Feet SwolIen-Sleep Broken
 Cured in Days by Cuticura.

Some two months ago 1 had hu- nor break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beefsteak, all red. and no one knows how they itched and burned. They were so swollen that I could not get my shoes on for a week or more. used five or six different remedies and got no help, only when applying them the burning was worse and the itching less. For two or three weeks the suf- fering was intense and during that time i did not sleep an hour at time Then one morning 1 tried a bit of Cutieura. From the moment it touched me the itching was gone and l have not felt bit of it since The swelling went down and In two days I had my shoes on and was about as usual. George E.
