 After their lodge meeting last even- ing, the Daughters of Pocahontas gave an informal party to which sev- eral outsiders were invited. Pro- gressive whist was first on the pro- gram and prizes were won by Mrs. Julia Thompson and Mr. N. F. Zim- merman, the latter capturing the booby prize. Mrs. Zimmerman was tied with Mrs. Thompson for first honors but in drawing for place the fates were against her. Refreshments consisting of ice cream, delicious home made cake and coffee followed and then an hour of dancing. While the order may be secret one, their hospitality is no secret. but is as open and as generous as the rompng spirit of mirth.
 ''Someone has figured itout, says the Mining World, that the 9's in Ameri- can history have been characterize by prosperity. The panic of '37 was suc- ceeded by the boom of '39. In '49 gold was found in California. Pikes Peak was discovered in '59, and the mines of Colorado opened. In '69 the re- construction set in, and the prosperity tbat followed has never been equaled. In '79 came another readiustment ol industrial conditions, particularly in the South, and great prosperity fol- lowed. In 'S9 came the boom that col iapsed in '93. In '99 the opening up of the Klondike and the revival of trade after the Spanish war brought an- other boom. From every indication it now looks as though '09 would do its part in verifying the tradition that history repeats itself"
