An oId-Fashioned Party.

THAT Reminds Me" on an invitation
added a spice of novelty to the after
noon. Each guest told story reminis-
cent or otherwise, and as they were
all old friends a most delightful time
was enjoyed. This is a capital idea
for a grandmothers' party. Use all
the old-fashioned things obtainable,
have a nosegay of pansies (for
thoughts) at each place and serve this
deliciously old-fashioned supper.
Cold ham and chicken, creamed po-
tatoes. tiny baking powder biscuit, to-
mato pickles, branded peaches, baked
cup custard, rolled jelly cake, tea with
cream and sugar. Have an old-fash-
toned bouquet of garden flowers, but
ter plates, a castor in center of the
table and pour the tea at the table.
Pass buttermilk in the afternoon.

Ideas for Charity Bazaar.

NO matter what the season the great
organization known as Society" works
for charity. In fact, not to be identi-
fed with something of humanitarian
import Immediately stamps person
as being decidly out of it.
Charity" is a magnet that draws
buds, bellies" and matrons together
with but one interest. Young women
in touring cars stop you on the street
asking for books and magazines for a
library, while all sorts of entertain
mentS engross the evenings.
All this leads up to a novel enter
tainment being planned for s'shut-ins"
Of all ages. 1t is to be an afternoon
affair on the lawn, the huge porches
being utilized as workshops.
There are a number of committees
with competent chairmen. There is
one on amusement for children one
for elderly people," one on food deli
cacies." AS near as I can Judge. it is
| to be a most fascinating affair.
Maids from Japan will serve tea,

will receive the jellies, jams, ETC., and
the children's committee, all in cos
tune from Mother Goose, will receive
for the poor "shut-in' boys and girls.
One group of young girls has pre-
pared quantities of surprise nuts,
made by inserting some tiny object
| like new penny, bonbon, wee doll,
tiny thimble, roll of bright baby rib
| bon, or raisin between English wal
nut shells; the meats extracted were
| turned over to the Homemade candy
committee. The nurses will find these
nuts invaluable as rewards of merit.
For elderly "shut-ins,'' there are to
be boxes of comfort" powders, sug-
gestive notices, pencils, pads of pa
pers, sewing outfits, good short
| stories, etc.
Scrap book fans are capital idea
too, made by FASTING bright sayings
jokes, little poems, anecdotes, etc, on
both sides of fan. 1t is light to hold
and serves a double purpose, giving
comfort by its breeze and amusement
| by reading the specially collected say
| ings.
There is also committee to collect
| jars, bowls and vases, as nurses say
the problem of finding receptacles for
| flowers is often a perplexing one. An
up-to-date committee is the one col
lecting puzzles, and why wouldn't the
| crippled "shut-ins" love these capt.
waiting pastimes just IS much as the

sooner. They are all of practical use

No time for weighing chances. The
choice of two alternatives lay before

YANKEE PIANIST
GETS AWAY WITH
A HALF MILLION
Got the Money from Two
American Women in
Paris.

PARIS, Jan. 7.-"Count" Louis
Hamon. formerly known in America
n Europe as 'Cheiro, the Pianist"
and before that as plain John Warner,
is a fugitive from France today, and
the entire American and English col
ony is discussing one of the most
meteoric and mysterious careers which
ever dazzled Partisan society.
Hamon is charged with embezzle-
ment, and his sumptuous offices where
he edited a newspaper called the
American Register, and conducted a
bank and other enterprises, 20 which
Americans loaned capital, are hare and
empty, scores of creditors having de-
scended and seized everything.
The compliments against Hamcn are
Mrs. Julia p. Newell and Miss
Josephine Pomeroy, formerly of New
York, but now resident of Paris, who
asserted that they turned over to
Harmon stocks to the market value of
$500, 900, on which Hamon agreed to
raise a loan through London banks of
$500 They allege, however, that
Hamon neither negotiated the loan nor
returned the stock, in consequence Of
which they began a criminal action
against the Hamon bank.

Declaring that she was parted from
her brother, August s. Jostrone. or

eleven years ago a sister who was en-
Uttered against him, Miss Esther
Hartman, of Chicago, has written a
letter to Chief of Police Corbitt stating

CARUSO ABOUT
TO LOSE VOICE,
PROPHET SAYS

NEW YORK, jon. THE prediction
of a so%othsayer that he will lose his
voice has frightened Enrico Caruso, the
~Metropolitan Opera House tenor, ac-
cording to his friends today, and at
least six times in the last three weeks
he has remained out of the cast. This
meant a loss of $1,000 to Caruso, if his
rsputed salary of 81 500 a performance is
correct.
Caruso, it was said, has great faith in
the soothsayer, for two years ago she
told him he would soon lose his Wife.
Last summer this came true. His wife
eloped.
Caruso fancies already that he can
detect symptoms of a physical change
in his throat, that something is
wrong"

Railroads Active S'more

A camp outfit shipped west over
this extension the middle of last
week occasioned some conjecture
as to it's destination. It is now
stated that the outfit will be used
by a surveying party that will
work northwest from Dallas, in
advance of the extension of the
North w estern from that point in
the direction of some point on the
Black Hills extension west from
Pierre, presumably and preferably
Philip. Construction cars that
have been in the material yards at
Fort Pierre we're taken west Sat
urday, destined, it 10 believed, foI
Dallas.
The Milwaukee road has given
official announcement that they
will invade the territory of the
North Western by building two
extensions south and west from
their Pacific coast extension,
through the reservation country
and into Meade and Butte counties.
It's a safe bet that if they do that
the Northwestern will build some
north extensions from this line.

Change With Caution.

Almost invariably the mon who
are doing we'll in life are the ones
who have followed some one thing
pretty closely and have grown up
in it until they are to an extent
masters of their business. Even a
drayman, if he sticks to his job, is
at all intelligent and his town is
large enough, is bound to succeed
pretty we'll. How much better
man can do and more indspsnd-
ent he can be if he devotes his at-
tention to getting the most for
both his life and his pocketbook
out of a piece of land. Here every
tree he plants, every acre be en-
riches and every building he puts
up adds to his little Kingdoms
wealth and to his lifs's success.
But it does make our heart ache to
see SO many quit the farm to try
something easier, and also quitting
other things they are masters of
with tho vain hope that they can
pick up farming in no time and
succeed. What disappointment
there is in store for such people
nine times out of ten.
Horace Greeley once said that .
man should never change his oc-
cupation after hs was IS years old
unless he was . horse thief, and
we really think that if we had
stolen horses thst long and made a
success of it we should be greatly
tempted to keep at it. The longer
we live the palmer We see the mis-
take Of forever changing. Dakota

Another Successful Market Day

The crowd in attendance at
Philips third market day last
Wednesday was not as large,
possibly, as some had anticipated,
but this is a busy season-ths
farmers are making time count
this spring-and many people did
not feel that they could afford the
time to come to town. However. a
very fair sized crowd assembled
by noon, and the bidding at the
auction sale, which ran through
the afternoon, was nearly as brisk
as it had been at any Of the sales.
Close to $l,lOO worth Of goods
found buyers.
The stores report . very fair
trade. We have not been able to
secure list Of the awards for the
cash prizes, nor Of the special
prizes offered by the merchants,
the whole matter being incomplete

is probable, though, that none vii
be held in May, while one will b<
