W. c. I. U. Members Plan Pleasant Surprise
Upon Mrs. W. W. Rhodenbaugh

Representative of the W. C. T.U.
to the number of about twenty per.
petuated most successful surprise
upon Mrs. W. W. Rhodenbaugh on
Wednesday of last week. 1t was
their last visit with Mrs. Ridden
baugh. as she soon leaves Denison to
make her home at Boise City. Idaho.
After giving her few minutes to
recover from the effect of their sud-
den appearing, led by Mrs. Penny.
they proceeded with enc accord to try
to convince Mrs. Rhodenbaugh thai
for genuine "fun" she had best stay
in Denlson. They went for good
time and they had it.
All the old games of their school
days, even to whose got the but
TONI" were revived with zest that
would have done credit to any crowd
of young folks any where around.
The verdict of mere listener would
have been that there were none there
over sixteen years of age. Mr..
Rhodenbaugh being the only man
present. was made the good natured
butt of all their jokes and it developed
before the evening vas over that he
is soloist of no mean ability. at
least there was no uncertain sound as
to his efforts along that line.
Light refreshments were served at
late hour. consisting of cake and
frappe. The time to say good night
and good bye came all too soon. Just
before doing so Mrs. Rhodenbaugh
was presented with handsomely and
suitably engraved souvenir spoon, as
a token of the appreciation of the or
ganization for the faithful and ready
response she has always given to all
calls for work during her many years
of membership with them. That her
new home may prove to be all she
hopes is the wish of all.

KELLY'S BOYS
PLAY BALL.
HAVE WON FOUR GAMES OUT OF SIX ON
NEBRASKA TRIP.
FINE TEAM WORK is SHOWN.
The Squeeze Play Puzzles the Sandwiches
While Our Singers Make Sixty Hits
in Six Games.

Father Kelly and his boys are hav.
ing triumphant tour through Ne
braska and the name of our fair city
is being advertised along the length
and breadth of the Elkhorn Valley.
Twelve men constitute the Denison
aggregation and they are all home
men except three who were added to
the team from the immediate vicin-
ity. Financially the trip will prob
ably not be success as at West
Point on Sunday Denison's share is
said to have been but S24. which does
not go far in paying railroad fare
and expenses for dozen ball-players.
But the boys are having heap Of
fun and Denison is getting a tremen-
dous lot of good advertising which
ought to be appreciated. Letters
from the boys indicate that they are
doing even better than they had
hoped. Four games out of six have
been won and the boys claim that the
umpires at Blair and Ainsworth had
more to do with beating them than
the opposing teams. at Blair the
boys write that they think there
would have been mob if the umpire
had not yielded to the wishes of the
crowd and given Blair the game.
This was a twelve inning contest.
The squeeze play has been used with
good effect in every game and sacri-
flee hits have brought in scores. The
boys play today and tomorrow at
Valentine. Friday at Ainsworth.
Saturday at Bassett and Sunday and
Monday at West Point. Below is
table of the games as played:
Aug. 2o-Denson 1; Blar2
Aug. 21-Denson 5; Wisner3.

worth gave large afternoon party as

gether with delicious refreshments
we're pleasures of the afternoon.
Miss Bertha Romans was able to at
tend the party after her long and
serious illness and her friends were

Mrs E. T Cochran finding Wednesday

Mrs. Ashby before she left for her
home Thursday and so entertained a
number of ladies Wednesday night.
A game of fabrics was much enjoyed.

BREAKING HOME TIES.

1t is with more than ordinary re-
greet that nenlson loses this week the
Rhodenbaughs. the U. G. Johnsons
the D. w. McAhrens, the Reiters and
Ben Mill. 1t is probable that none
of them will ever again call Denison
their home. All of them have been
identified with our city and with our
county for many years. Three of
them were born here. all of them are
tied to us by ties Of life and ties of
death, by memories of sorrow and
memories of joy. When the young
people leave the home nest. however,
it is the way of the world Life is
before them, their career is theirs to
make and while we miss them, hope
predominates and the certainty of
many home comings lessons the pang
of parting. With age however. the
breaking of the home tie becomes
harder. both for those who go and for
those who remain. The Older people
of our community will miss the stall
wart old soldier. the sturdy. honest.
kind hearted citizen. w. W. Rhoden-
baugh. and his quiet helpful. lovable
little wife. They will be missed from
their accustomed pew, they will be
missed from many homes ant many
hea rts. Their boys have "gone
vest and it is we'll that they shout d
go to make home for them for after
all it is the boys and the girls who
make about all the Heaven we can
know on earth.

ner Book Store was as much a salon
as it was a store. 1t was one of the

Our half-millonaires would gather
there, wait on themselves to chocolate
creams and discuss politics. religion,
: and civic affairs. 1t was to the male
population what the Carnegie club

Clubs. 1t was U. G.'s ready wit

what every youngster in town wanted

US away from duplicate purchases and
kept us from buying for ourselves

part. In an after dinner crowd il

politician the republicans of Denisor
ever had. He was better at working
for others than for himself. however.
and in the great scratch-as-scratch-

Nevertheless he was respected by the

their lines may be cast in pleasant
places and their lives be filled with
peace.
