spread this rich paste upon two slices
of bread. slap with the big knife

asked by the 18th avenue milliner, such
a hat should be contrived at home for
very moderate sum.

Lecture on Hawaii

The Lecture on Hawaii, given at the
Congregational church last Thursday
evening by Dr. Charles A. Payne,
proved to be most interesting and prof.
table Hawaii is noted for its diversity
of scenery, nature having lavishly sup
piled the islands with a profusion of
beauty in landscape and vegetation as
she has done in few places. This was
all most gratifyingly portrayed by the
excellent slides used in the lecture, the
cOloring and clearness of which could
be equalled only by expensive paintings
The volcanoes of the islands are the
largest and most interesting in the
world. DIR. Payne, having entered and
remained over night in the crater of the
largest, gave vived description of his
experiences and sensations in that place
of thrilling danger. The resources OF
the islands, surprising for their insig-
niticant size, were interestingly por-
trayed, together with the luxurious
homes and remarkable fine public build
ings. The pictures of the surf riders
with a description of the thrilling sport
were much enjoyed. Especially inter
esting was the accoIiFt of the transfer.
nation of the people, who, in hundred
years, have come from the lowest state
of barbarism to P capable, honest anC
respected condition, people we may
well proudly claim as part of our own
citizenship. This changed, so sweeping
accomplished in such a comparatively
short time, is one of the best evidences
modern times has to offer of the trans
forming power of Christianity.

WIND DAMAGES VERNON PROPERTY.

A fierce gale accompanied by a ter
rife down pour of rain, not unlike the
memorable storm of last June, visited
this section Thursday afternoon. The
storm was of only few minutes dura-
tion. but reports of wind damage comes
from many sections of the county. To-
bacco sheds in particular suffered from
the wind.
Among those who suffered losses are
Rasmus johnson, Pete Dregne, Toluf
Morkre, John Eide and Louis Hitler all
of Towerville vicinity, Martin Root S
tobacco shed, just west of the city,
was badly twisted and Henry Lind of
Bud also suffered in the same manner.
Geo. Bakken had a new corn crib
wrecked, Edwin Broadhead of West
Prairie reports the wrecking of his to-
bacco shed. A barn of Mrs. G. N.
Hauge's in the west section of the city
was moved off its foundation and partly
wrecked. Retreat residents also suf-
fered considerable minor damages.
There are, no doubt, many other dam
ages of which we have not been ad-
vised, as result of the gale.
