A Bon Voyage Party.

For sending the invitations make
little steamer rugs from felt or plaid
flannel, cutting the pieces about 3 by
IL inches. Fringe the two long ends
with a pair of sharp scissors, place
the note of invitation inside and roll
up with straps cut from an old pair
of kid gloves. Attach a card bearing
the guests name and address with
"Please unpack and answer at once"
Nothing is more appropriate for a
centerpiece than toy steamship or
one made of flowers. Ship tunnels
made of cardboard are good at the
four corners of the table filled with
blooming Smoke" tree. The name
of the ship should be on it and the
proper lines on the funnel. These,
with ropes twisted about the ship

Suggestions for Fall Work.

For some time past there have been
many letters from both old and young
asking for suggestions that will be
helpful in club, school and Sunday
school work. In most instances the
social side is emphasized with a re-
quest that some scheme to make
money be combined with it. Until the
time comes when we all set aside a
proportion of our income for charit-
able work on the same business basis
that we regulate our other expenses
there will always be demands for
ideas with which to cajole the al
mighty dollar into empty treasures
and sugar-coat the pill of getting
money to keep the wheels of great
charity organizations turning. True,
there is the social side that we all
need and is worthy of consideration.
Owing to lack of space 1 have con.
densed these schemes into as few
words as possible, leaving them to be
enlarged by those who try them.
For watermelon party" which

toons, and there was hot corn meal
mush served with cream and sugar
in quaint little blue bowls, which were
purchased at ten cents each as souve-
Mrs. Then there was regular old
fashioned corn-hulling bee, the com.
pany being divided into sides. The
corn was then put in bags, a pound
to each and it was distributed to the
various charitable institutions where
there were children.
An easy way of saving money is
carried out by class of boys who are
in school; they save every penny bear
ing the year date of their birth. AS
these pennies are collected they are
turned into common treasury and
given at the end of the year to a
charity that all decide on. AS most
of them have enlisted the services of
their family and friends in watching
for these special pennies, there is u.s.
ually quite sum collected with very
little trouble.
Twelve young matrons organized a
magazine club in this way: Each one
subscribed for periodical, the choice
being made at meeting in Novem
Der; these were exchanged and all
finally collected at one house. When
there were IL of each the members
met tied them in piles and sent them
to various institutions, goodly share
going to the Jail and settlements
where they were distributed where
they would be most appreciated.

Jabez is coachman to Aunt Rhinoco-
lura and has been ever since her leg
got cut off, and he is faithful fell
low. So he came in and stood re-
spectfully, and Aunt Rhinocolura read
the letter to him, but as she went on
Jabez turned mighty pale. The trou-
BILE was that Aunt Rhinocolura's coach
was upholstered in dark green, and
Aunt Rhinocolura had dark green
dress Of the same shade. At first
Jabez shuffled his feet on the floor,
and then he gasped once or twice,
like fish, but Aunt Rhinocolura
looked at him with a stern but kind
eye, and SO he just said "Gosh!" like
a man that is so surprised he can't
say any more.
So that afternoon Aunt Rhinocolura
and her hired girl went out into the
back yard and Jabez rolled the coach
out into the light, and they went to
work on him with the package of Alb
solutely Fast Persian Dye. They had
the color exactly. 1t was pretty
hard color to match.
Aunt Rhinocolura admitted after
ward that it was a mistake to try
a dye that was meant for wooden
goods on the human face, and it was
not until they had tried and tried
to get the right color that they thought
of reading over the directions, and no.
ticed that they said: Boil the goods
in the dye" When Aunt Rhinocolura
read that a sort of spasm of fright
passed over Jabez Wicks' face. Jabez
was faithful coachman but he
seemed to have a lingering dislike to
being boiled in green dye, and Aunt
RhinOcOlura, after she had considered
the matter seriously decided she
would not boil Jabez u might get a
better color, but Jabez wouldn't be
much use as coaceman after he
had been boiled. So .s-ey did the best
they could and gave him six coats Of
dye, rubbing 1t in we'll, and at each
coat he came a little nearer the shade
OF the coach upholstery, and at last
Aunt Rhinocolura was satisfied and
said he matched it we'll enough. He
was rich dark green, except his
hair, which was red, and after Aunt
Rhinoc0lura had stood on and OF and
Rt"0!cd him, she decided his hair was

News of Montana
BIG YIELD FROM DRY FARM.
New Process Of Agriculture Promises
Great Returns.

Billings.-Although threshing has
not advanced sufficiently to enable
the farmers to make good estimate
of the probable average of wheat and
other grain raised in the northern part
of the state, reports which come from
that part of Montana are to the effect
that there is every reason to believe
that the crop on the dry lands will be
of the bumper variety.
One field in the Judith basin country
is said to have yielded 81 bushels per
acre of winter wheat. In the northern
part of Yellowstone county the yield
is equally heavy, and it is believed the
average will not fall short of 80
bushels.
There is large acreage of barley
which will produce on an average
about 40 bushels per acre, and a num-
Der Of farmers on the land above the
ditch state oats will show a yield Of
fully so bushels. Speltz, grain which
makes splendid food for stock, is
yielding from 20 to 40 bushels on land
seeded for the first time.
Throughout the immense dry farm
ing area of Montana the farmers are
busily engaged in seeding a crop Of
wheat which will far excel in acreage
any ever sown in the treasure state.
For weeks past monster steam plows
have been turning the soil at the rate
of 80 to 40 acres per day each, and
the result is but beginning of what
t.
the success of farming on so-called dry
land has been completely demonstrate
ed to be a success.

Two sisters who live in the country
and have a finely equipped tennis
court issued the following invitations,
including those of their friends who
did not play tennis, too. For those
they had seats and rugs near the
