DISAPPOINTMENT.

Great disappointment was felt that

who was an expected guest of the State
Mothers Congress convention, could not
be present. Her duties in connection
with the reception to President Taft
made it impossible for her to leave New
Orleans in time to fill the engagement
with the Mothers Congress.

Tomorrow, Monday, J. W. Scissor, A.
Schulsinger and H. w. Leverett may
be sentenced for having violated the
prohibition law Their pleas of guilty
have already been recorded The delay
in inflicting the penalty on these three
men when other violators were con-
signed to the good roads, is due to sew
eral reasons: Schulsinger wanted to
keep open his boarding house during
Fair week to make money to pay his
fine; Scissor wanted time to close UP his
saloon as he has determined to quit
the business, and Leverett wanted time
to close his saloon as he proposes to re
sumo the sale of meat by opening a
butcher shop.

William Hollinger has just COM

the season, and it is now in finer
shape than ever before.
There will be several new regu-
lations to be followed on the court
this season. The boys must posi-
lively not throw chewing gum paper
or any kind of paper on the ground
in or near the court And they must
not hang on the wire from the out
side. as this damages it. Everybody
who PLAYS must take an interest in
the court as though it were theirs.
These simple directions followed and
everything will be much nicer and
better, and Mr.. Hollinger will be
better pleased.

The Door Was Closed.

The other morning going over on

eral Palisadians, John P. Davis, Frank
Roylance, and others from Palisades

The air was quite cool and one OF the
front doors was open. When the boat
started the door was closed to keep
out the draft, but had no visible effect,
for the wind whistled in from some
unknown source, and everybody was
puzzled to know where it came from.
The next morning the same thing oc-
Cured, and the wind came through
with a rush.

sly old wink, did you know the glass
was out of that door," And then ev-
erybody saw the joke and grinned.

THE GRANTWOOD INN.
Interesting Innovation to be Opened
by Mrs. Oliver Allen Dexter.


The hilltop section is promised an
interesting innovation upon the open
ing of the Grantwood Inn. There is
always something cheering in the
name, Inn, a word made famous in
song and story. In this case, how
ever, Mrs. Oliver Allen Dexter, of
New York, will shortly throw open
the doors of as pretty and as typical
an old-fashioned Inn, with all of its
legendary equipment of big fireplace,
tripods, the blue wings, the hand
woven carpet-everything to make
the Inn a place entirely worthy OF the
name Mrs. Dexter has travelled over
Europe, studied art in Paris, and has
been engaged in the commercial side
of this kind of work in New York for
many years. The Palisades section
appealed to her, and the Grantwood
Inn will contain a tea room, art shop,
hand craft work, weaving, etc. Art
will be, taught in one of the upper
rooms, fitted as a studio. Lessons
will be given in painting from nature,
and also in china decoration. Bias
kerry will also be taught, also iron
and brass work.
The tea room will be fitted UP on
the first floor, with the broad veran-
das on two sides, so that parties OF
ladies may be entertained there in the
most attractive fashion and amid ar
tistic surroundings. On Sunday after
moons there will be High Tea, at
which broiled chicken, mullins, etc,
will be served In addition, Mrs.
Dexter will cater to the best trade and
supply the neighborhood with home
made, delicious cakes and pies-the
kind that mother used to make.
The Grantwood Inn is a venture
backed by ample means and the full
est measure of confidence in its pro-
motor, whose skill will soon be made
known and speak for itself. Mrs. DeX-
ter will no doubt be extended warm
welcome and liberal patronage.

PROF, SEVERANCE SURPRISED

Professor George Severance, re-
firing head of the department of ag-
rlculture in Washington State Col
lege, was given a pleasant surprise
Tuesday night when about 30 of the
agricultural students visited the
severance home on Star Route Ave
nue., and spent the evening with Pro-
fessor and Mrs. Severance. The
class presented Prof. Severance with
a handsomely engraved gold fountain
pen as token of their appreciation
of his splendid work, and many ex-
pressions of regret at his departure
were made, but all congratulated
him on his good fortune in securing
such good position.
The class in agriculture this year
lis the largest in the history of the
college, and splendid progress is be-
ing made. Regret was expressed by
the students because of the farmers
institute work taking several of the
instructors away from the school
much of the time during the winter
months. "All of the agricultural
students. are here for business and
they want to learn, and improve, and
they dislike being left without
teachers part of the time" said one
of the students. Agriculture. horti-
culture and animal husbandry are
far more popular in the big school
than in former years.
