A PEASANT AFFAIR
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
SChOenhOff Give Them a
Surprise Party

Ben Schoenhoff was the victim OF
his friends Tuesday night. 1t didn't
hurt very much, however, for he was
able to be about happy and smiling as
ever the following morning. This is
the way it happened:
Tuesday noon John Kuschner met
Ben and the two had cigar together,
Ben remarking that it was his birth
day. The same evening party of
friends called and spent the evening.
They arrived well loaded with nice
things to eat and during the evening
a fine supper was served. Covers were
laid for fifteen. The evening was
thoroughly enjoyed in good old Ger
man style. Cards were played and a
fine time had. 1t was intended as a
birthday party, but Saturday of this
week is the real anniversary of Ben's
arrival in this jolly old world. 1t will
be just AZ years ago then that the
event occurred. Notwithstanding the
fact that the party was few moments
ahead of the calendar, owing to Ben's
laughing remark to Mr.. Kuschner,
the occasion was none the less enjoy
able. The following composed the
party that surprised Mr.. Schoenhof1
and his worthy better half:
Messrs. and Mesdames John Kusch-
ner, Matt Nathe, P. Robischon, B.
Vogel, S. G. Schwartzbauer, J. A.
Schoenhoff. Invitations were sent tC
some others out of town but they
could not come.

Before and After.

She had been invited up town to
take lunch with a friend for the first
time. The entrance was imposing
She began to wish she had put on her
gown. She came near going home to
put it on, when the girl at the desk
motioned her to the rear of the lobby
to the fat of her friend She was
ushered into the smallest hall she ever
saw She squeezed through it into
about the smallest fiat she had ever
laid eyes on. Her friend showed her
around it.
Isn't it the limit?" she asked 81

one room of the house I lived in in

1T is fine sample of a fat" said
she. But she did..'t tell her that the
entrance had been so imposing she
had come near going home to put on
her finest toys.

To Look Angular.

No thin woman can afford to lose
her temper.
Nothing says good authority,
twill make you so angular or give
your face such an undesirable look
as the free Indulgence of your own
will"
A girl who was thin to a really
painful degree gained 30 pounds in
CO days on the following regime:
Twelve hours sleep day, well ven
tiiated and cold room to sleep in, with
plenty of fresh air all night; light
down coverlets for warmth and hot
water bags at the feet If they were
cold; loose, light clothing at all times
with plenty of space about the chest
shoulders and waist; diet of cereals
cocoa, fresh fruits or starchy vege
tables, potatoes, beans, etc., milk and
cream-everything of a warming, fat

Preservation Of Flour.

A new method of preserving -four
has recently been adopted with sue
cess in England. 1t is done by means
of compression. With hydraulic ap-
paratus the -four is squeezed into the
form of bricks, and the pressure de-
stroys all forms of larval life, thus
preserving the -four from the ravages
of insects, while it is equally secure
from mold. Three hundred pounds OF
compressed flour occupy the same
space as 100 pounds in the ordinary
state.

"Why?" asked his mother.

Magnet for Unloading Pig Iron

Pig iron is pretty heavy stuff and it
takes lot of tedious, back-aching la
bCr to unload a car of it in the old
way, by hand. The modern method is
by the use of the electromagnetic at
tached to crane, which will pick up
a ton of the heavy pieces as easily as
a man could one.
1t is said that the ordinary cost of
handling ton of pig iron by hand la
Dor is from five to eight cents, depend
ing upon the Garry" The lifting
magnet will do the work for half a
cent per ton and isn't half as apt to
go on a strike.
When current is turned on the mag.
net literally grabs a mouthful of the
iron chunks. The instant the cur
rent is switched off the magnetism de-
parts and the magnet drops it's load.

The Straw Itch.

Handlers of straw and those who
sleep on straw mattresses run a new
danger, which is pointed out to the
public in the federal governments
health bulletin. The straw itch"
which may attack them is due to
small straw infesting mite. While the
mite devours the parasites which or
dinarily would damage grain, it may
attack the handler Within twelve
hours after exposure, itching appears,
followed shortly by an eruption.

THEIR LONG HOME
George N. Bishop and Hugh Watt
Summoned Into Beyond
lone AN OLD RESIDENT
Other Minneapolis Citizen Who
Married a Sank Centre Girl
Eighteen Years AGO

George M. Bishop stepped out OF
this life Thursday, September 49,
The members of his immediate fami-
ly, who by sweet conspiracy of at
tention made the great physical in
firmities of many months endurable,
are his wife and the daughters, Eta
E johnson and Ida E. Searle, of
New York City. He leaves also an
elder sister whose home is in Long
Island
Mr.. Bishop was born in East MORT
chez, Long Island, Feb. 24th, lo45.
He has been for 36 years an honored
resident of this community though
not one of that pioneer class whose
numbers are now becoming SO pathet-
ically less. He came here as young a
man and as an invalid, and although
under the invigorating influence of
the Minnesota climate long years
were granted him, they were destined
to be years of struggle with disabili-
ties the average man knows but little
of. He contributed his appropriate
share to the upbuilding of this COM
munity, and by this and the elements
of his character had become an in
tegral part of what is called Sank
Centre.
His nature was not of the aggres-
sive and militant type. He made
friends by being himself friend. He
was partaker of that infinite charity
which intuitively breads to think lily
of anyone.
Filling thus very necessary place
in this world he has now gone into
the silence leaving sweet memories
behind him. The funeral services
were held at his home Saturday after
noon.
Hugh Watt died at his home in
Minneapolis at o'clock Wednesday
morning of this week of Bright's dis
ease. Mr.. Watt married the daughter
of Chan Harmon, the we'll known
former resident of Sank Centre,
eighteen years ago. The marriage
occurred here. Word of Mr.. Watts
death was received by his cousin, Mrs.
c. G. Tobey, by telephone Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Watt had been in bus
mess in Minneapolis a good many
years. He was fifty years of age at
the time of his death.
