GREAT DAY FOR WoODMEN.

Saturday last was a red letter day
for the local NJ. w. A. camp. The
opera house had been hired for the
evening meeting and was converted
into a fine lodge room during the day.
A class of twenty-one new members
was adopted into the order. The
work was conferred upon the greater
number of the candidates by the
degree team of the Arlington camp.
The team and visitors from the
neighboring camp numbering thirty
six.
There are now 206 members in good
standing in the De Smet camp. More
than 200 Woodmen attended the
meeting Saturday evening.
At IL o'clock supper was ANNOUNCE
ed at the Woodman Halland seventy
six were served at a time. The supper
was served by the ladies of the Royal
NelShDOr camp, who provided an
elegant spread and served it in a
most pleasing maner. The ladies re-
ceived many compliments for their
part of the evenings festivities.
The Arlington degree team did
some fine work that evening and their
efforts were fully appreciated by the
De Smet camp. The marching 10y
the degree team was excellent and
came as a surprise to the De Smet
people, for it is to be remembered
that it is not so very long ago hat
the De Smet team went to Arlington
to help get that camp on a working
basis.

bis. Cairo street, this city has once
more heightened its fame as the New
England street of freak curioslties.
BY one of the curious twists of
chance this thoroughfare, although
only block in length and occupied
by about 20 modest families. has
arisen to pinnacle of renown seldom
equaled by any street in the world.
The advent recently of the four
legged chick. the offspring of a Rhode
Island Red hen with brood OF about
25 other children, and owned by Mrs.
William Scott, 81 Cairo street, and the
arrival the day following of a kitten
minus tail, freak seldom heard of
among cat fanciers, has resulted in
bringing hundreds Of curious people to
get glimpse of this street of freaks
and its curioslties.

little shorter, and for that reason did
not permit the claws to touch the
ground.
However. this did not seem to mat
ter to the strangely formed Peggy, for
she tumbled over her brothers and
sisters as actively as any of the rest
and piped defiance at every stranger
among the many who came to see this
feathered wonder.
But the fame of the four-legger had
scarcely been sounded when Mrs. Jo-
sepb Warbis, who lives just across
the street from the SCOTS, announced
the arrival of cat minus tail at her
home.
Instantly attention became attracted
across the street.
Interested neighbors from near and
far, besides many strangers, took trips
to Cairo street to the freak arrivals.
The tailless kitten, Rhodamanthus
by name. a tiny black ball OF fur
spotted with white, had assuredly
maintained the reputation of Cairo

The past history of the street, as re.
called by it's old residents, has in
cluded half a dozen animal deviations
from the rule that have upon arrival
stirred up seven days wonder in the
district.
A few years ago family who moved
into one of the tenements there
brought with 1t live snake of the
adder variety, which was kept in a
gilded cage covered with mesh wire
and was fed upon grasshoppers and
tadpoles. The strange pet created so
much terror along the street that
finally its owner was obliged to move
away. Only a short time later a resi-.
dent of Cairo street, who owned a
pair of geese which he kept in a pen
in his back yard. found the twain one
day rolling on the ground, apparently
dying.
Investigation proved that a bottle
containing wild cherries soaked in
brandy had been emptied into the
yard and that the reckless pair had
gorged themselves upon the cherries
until both had accumulated a stagger-
ing jag.
Another animal belonging to resi-
dent of the street was pet calf, with
stub tail and penchant for gnaw-
ing bones and chasing cats like dog.
Another was a parrot that by scream.
