How TO ARRIVE" in Music without

From the Denyer Republican.
It would appear that the troubles OF
those individuals who cannot remember
the words 10 the songs they ought 10
know have been solved by those passen-
gers who quellSd an incipient panic on
the Cunarder Salvonia by chanting. 70
the tune OF Aud Lang syne' these en-
tightening words:
We're here. because we're hsre,
Because we're here. becaHse we're here.
Probably II the passengers had at
tempted 20 sing all the words OF this
grand old song. not over six or eight
would have progressed beyond the first
line. The second line might have found
two singers in the ring though some
what groggy but the third line would
have found silence. chaos. panic. and an
other steamship horror 70 become
breakfast table topic for three OF four
DAYS. But nobody need be bothered by
the intricacy OF the words that have
been quoted One can sing. and sing
lustlly-and Il all suggests the question.

IN an interview Mrs. Sutton said that

her. and had consequently Orderer a court
OF Inquiry. Mr.. Meyer yesterday said
that he had not been convinced OF any
thing. that Mrs. Sutton wanted a re-
opening of the case, and that her demand
had been granted. It is the intention OF
the Navy Department TO give the Sutton
family every opportunity to present new
evidence.
In her representations to the Navy De-

very active for months. made no mention

De Clereland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
People pause TO watch John Taber paint
a sign whenever they get a chance. Of
course there's a certain fascination about
even a common 67s sign painter at work.
but this interest is increased a hundred
fold when John Taber Is the man on the
sign painting job.
He is one OF the few ambidextrous
sign painters in the business He can
paint with equal artistic effect whether
it's his right hand OF his left hand that
he's using. When he gets tired using one
hand he uses the other.
Sometimes when he's hurried he uses
both at once. and the fact that he's divid-
ing his attention between the two doesn't
cut down the quality OF his workmanship
in the least.

Hallo.Oe en- Merrimaking.

So many of you wrote to me last |
year for suggestions for your October
social which you wanted to have on
Halloween that l promised myself l
would remember your wants this year.
The old Halloween ceremonies, when
they were seriously observed, were too
thrilling and picturesque to be allowed
later to pass out of sight, SO now in
stead of attaching any significance, re-
ligious or otherwise, to the old customs
we have turned them into harmless
merrymaking.
Do you know that when you bob for
apples you are following superstitious
practice of the heather Druids who on
November first lighted their fires to
Baal? But in some countries the bon
fires are kindled in honor of the harvest
and homecoming festivals at that time,
and if your society wants to enjoy an
evening of firesids revelries why not
make Hallowe' EN- the homecoming night
after all have returned from the sum-
mer outings?
Here is a form of entertainment
which employs the old beloved symbols
of the night and yet is less boisterous
than apple-ducking and taffy-pulling:
A pumpkin, large ear of yellow
field-curn, pint of peanuts in the
shell, pound of pecans in the shell.
basket of apples. one beautiful chrys-
aethemum, a large bunch of Malaga
grapes and bough of red oak leaves
are the requisites for the entertain
ment. And these same articles may
serve as decorations for the assembly
room during the evening.
The game is to guess the number of
parts of each one of the list, for in
stance:
How many grains on the ear of corn?
How many seeds in the pumpkin?
How many grapes in the bunch?
How many pecans in the pound?
How many petals on the chrysanthe-
mum?
How many peanuts in pint?
How many leaves on the oak bough?
! How many apples in the basket?
The answers when this game was
played year ago were, respectively,
S51, 474, 154, SO, 439, 81. 140, 46. They
will serve as an indication of the possi-
( BILE answers, for, of course, they would
never be twice the same.

pany into conversational groups is to

luncheon with Judge and Mrs. Shackle-

scheme of the occasion, yellow and

in the luncheon decorations. Smilax

This evening Mr.. Hart and his bride
will leave the city. They will visit in
Denver, Ell Paso, Jaurez, Mexico, and
then go to Morencci, Arizona, where
the bridegroom is located and where
the young couple will make their home.
The bride is the daughter of Judge
and Mrs. Sprigg Shackleford, of this
city, the brides father being the pre-
siding judge of the Seventh Judicial
District of Colorado. She is in every
way splendid young lady, attractive
in her personality, and amiable in her
manner. During the time that Grand
Junction has been her home she has
made many warm friends and is very
popular among the young social sets.
Mr.. Hart is practically unknown in
Grand Junction, not having made pre-
vious visits to the city. However, he
is known to be young man of high
character and excellent ability in his
chosen field of work. He was for a
long period connected with the recla-
