SIGNS OF AGE OVERLOOKED.
to Recognize Them In Ourselves
or Our Friends.

isn't it curious" said Mr.. Flicker
ton, "how we get lost about the age
of people, and particularly of people
whose age we might we'll be supposed
to know?
1--WE hear, for instance, of the death
Of Walkinshaw, aged 81, and we say
to ourselves: Goodness, you don't
mean to tell me that Walkinshaw was
ga? And yet we may have known him
intimately and have seen him daily
for 40 years, since he was "a; and if
anybody ought to have known his age
we ought.
But as a matter of fact it is those
very people whom we do see constant
ly whose ages we fail to realize; for
the reason that age, so far as it's out
ward signs are concerned, steals on
them gradually.
> If we see man only at intervals
of ten or 20 years, why then the
changes in him may be so apparent
that we cannot fail to note them; but
in the man we see from day to day we
see no change at all; there is no sink
ing sign to make us realize that he is
growing older; and so we are likely to
carry him forward in our minds as Of
the age at which we first knew him.
1t is then thai y :~'~@e his first
strong, clear impression on us; and
that impression we are likely to hold
for many years and against many
changes.
Il know do this commonly. carry
men forward as of the age at which l
first knew them; they always seem so
to me. And then something happens
that brings up the question of age and
my friend says to me that he's 81, and
l say: What! 57?' And really it is a
great surprise to me, and l find 1t
hard to realize it.
Il can scarcely believe it even
though l have known him for 80 years
and when first knew him he was q
He may be now but little, or he may
be greatly changed, but however that
may be l have never realized it any
more than have the lapse of time
passing day by day.
Happily, this is true also as to ou1
own selves. We don't realize our own
advancing years. Even though we
look in a mirror now and then we see
no signs of age, or none to amount tc
anything. We may be gray as badgers
to other people, but our hair doesn't
look that way to us. We may be
growing positively portly, but ovel
that we smile. At heart we are still
young.

Bountiful rains that appear to have

THE JUNIOR BANQUET.

A very pleasing function was the
banquet Of the Juniors to the Seniors
of the Warren High School, on Mon.
day evening, at the Warren opera
house. The hall was tastefully decor
ated for the occasion with the Junior
class colors, yellow and black. A
pleasant program was first rendered,
consisting of duet by Millie Swan
son and Evelyn Grindeland; reading
by Esther McGillian; a vocal solo by
Miss Minnie Tullar; flute solo by
Mr.. A. w. Jacklin and base solo by
Otto Bystrom. Then the tables were
set at which the juniors, seniors.
alumni and other friends of the. two
classes were seated to partake of a
sumptuous repast. The menu was
as follows: Fruit salad served on
lettuce leaf. waters, olives, saratoga
chips, pressed veal, jelly, pickles.
cheese balls, biscuits, ryebread, ice
cream, angels food, devils food,
coffee.
When the time for the speaking ar.
rived, Gill Lamberson took charge as
toastmaster and officiated in that ca
pacity with becoming grace and digni-
ty Introducing the different speakers
in pleasing manner and with apt re-
marks. Miss Edith Mattson pro
posed the toast to the seniors, point
ing out some of the weaknesses Of the
members Of that class. j. P. Nelson
responded for the seniors, EXPLAINING
everything in very happy manner
and closed by saying that the seS$nr
class had set very high standard but
not so high that it may not be reached
by the juniors, if they are determined
to do so. Miss Leila Johnson toasted
the school board in a very clever
speech, responded to by j. P. Mattson.
Miss Mary Rundtom proposed toast
to the parents, saying many gooc
things and saying them we'll, the re.
sponse being made by w. N. Powell.
Miss Ragna Blawd proposed the toast
to the faculty, incorporating in it
many humorous hits, which were
duly relished, not least by the teach
ers present. The response was made
by Supt. keenan,, who cleverly parried
some of the thrusts made.
Last came toast to the alumni by
Albie Bren, delivered in Shake
spearian style, parts of it being a
parody of Julius Caesar. The re-
sponse was made in the style of the
bard of Avon, by Miss Minnie Tullar
and was the hit Of the evening.

THE BALL GAME.
Round thing was sent everywhere
Leans we're there with the "Chimes"
at 16 to in Prairie Ball.

How the mighty hath fallen, for the
Leans now wear the scalps of the
mighty Fats. We didn't think such a
thing possible, but one must be pre-
pared for any surprise. The game
was played Monday afternoon at three
O'Clock and the score 16 to 8.
The Fats appeared in flashy uni
forms, with the stripes running in the
had their stripes up and down in a
perpendicular way.
Brown went into the box for the
Fats and the way the Leans took
charge Of his slants was something
awful. Bandelin replaced him and
showed pretty good control, as he was
able to hit quite a number of the
shadows emitting them tie pass TO
first.
Swanson, Of Luna, showed great
form, especially in his anxiousness to
start running after making a hit.
Wattam was put in at short and was
kept as busy as cranberry merchant.
He retired in the third inning in
favor of George Johnson.
In the fifth inning the fats grew
jubilant. Judge Grindeland made a
hit, which ne claims was a three
| bagger, but he only went to first.
| The sly Judge stole second, knowing
that it wasn't against the law, espec;-
ally in this game; he was advanced to
| third but before he was able to get
home, the thin ones had captured
| their third man.
Braggans was on the slab for the
| Leans and made good thruout the en-
tire game, although his 'specks" help
ed him considerably in seeing the
plate Aug. Johnson tried to stop
slants behind the plate, but for fear
| the fats would steal too many bases,
he resigned in favor of "Shorty' Eek
lund, who did fairly we'll for his size.
n few of the fats are probably able
to play with the leans after this game.
as they must have lost a goodly num-
her of pounds of superfluous advoirdu-
pois by the strenuous exercise and
stretching: especially Harry Wood,
who was heading the leans coming to
first.
The game was called off in the
seventh inning for fear "accidents
may happen" as up to this time no.
thing serious had happened.
The lineup being as follows:
Fats-S. J. Swanson, C and 3b w. ].
Brown, p and 2b; H. l.. Wood, 1b; w.

to about $50 which will be used foz
