Mrs. Benson Entertains.

One of the most unique social
parties of the season was a PRO
gressive Needle Party" given by
Mrs. Benson, at her home on
West End, ST., last Friday after
noon. The parlors were beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion,
and ladies' to the number of twen-
ty-five were fortunate enough to
be able to partake of Mrs. Ben
sons hospitality, for only those
who have ever been entertained
by Mrs. Benson can realize the
success Of this party. Mrs. Cor
son received first prize for thread
ing the most needles, while a
suitable prize was awarded Mrs.
Brandon for threading the least
number. The needles threaded
were put to work by the various
ladies, upon aSwastika quilt block
and in this, Mrs. C. R. Buck re-
ceived first prize for best work.
The guests then repaired to the
elegant dining room, where a
most elaborate luncheon of sew
eral courses was spread. 1t was
only the approaching home-going
hour that summoned the ladies'
to hesitating.y depart from a
most beautiful social function
ever to be remembered.

UNKNOWN MAN
FOUND DEAD
In a Large Ditch on the Wan.
amaker Ranch Six Miles
West of Arvada.

Just before we go to press we
learn that Coroner Burton has
been called over to Golden to in
vestigate the death of a man
found by some men riding after
cattle on the Wanamaker ranch.
The body was discovered this
ct hursday) morning, and was
found in the bottom of a big
ditch. 1t seems that he had de-
liberately walked into the ditch
and fallen on his face in the
water. There was nothing to be
found that would identify the
man in any way.
A purse, without any money
and a pair of glasses in a case
were all that were found in his
pockets. He was fairly well
dressed and appeared to be about
fifty years old. The body was
first seen Monday morning by
people passing by, but was
thought to be merely a bunch of
old rags. Later, as the water
went down in the ditch it was
plainly visible.

High School Notes.

If there is one time more than
another during a high school
year that the pupils study the
hardest, it is these last two
months. 1t is the time when
those who have been a little slack
all year, wake up to the fact that
if they intend to get through,
they must dig; the time when
those who have studied all year,
study all the harder, so as to
bring their standing as high on
the ladder as possible.
Mrs. Layton, of the Baptist
Woman's College of Denver, Wis
tied the high school Monday af-
ternoon and gave an interesting
talk to the senior girls.
The Junior class are going to
give their play over again in the
near future at Maple Grove. All
who did not see it here should
avail themselves of the opportun-
ity. 1t is a fine play and one
that is well worth your time and
money.
Don't miss the literary pro-
gram at the high school Friday
afternoon, April 7. The entire
program will be by the Fresh
men and Sophomores excepting
a German quartet by the Seniors
and Juniors.

sary this week and quite a party

Holds an Inquest.

Some three weeks ago Gus
Thompson of Edgewater was hit
by an auto and seriously injured.
The accident occurred just over
the line in this county near Edge
water. At that time he was re-
moved to a sanitorium at Edge
water and this week died of
pneumonia. His death was in
vestigated by Coroner Burton
Wednesday and while a decision
has not been rendered, it is
thought that the driver of the
auto was not in fault, yet the ac-
cident was the direct cause of
the mans death. All the evil
dence regarding the case has not
been submitted, to date.

JUNIOR CLASS
ANNUAL PLAY
Well Presented to an Appre-
ciative Audience Last
Thursday Night.

An appreciauive audience thor
oughly enjoyed the excellent
play given by the Junior class
of the high school last Thursday
night, March 80. The Juniors
had the assistance of four of our
talented Freshmen and one Soph-
omore; Clifford Null,a promising
young violinist, gave a solo on
his instrument.
The Seniors were royalty en-
tertained in two elaborately dec
Grated boxes. They appreciated
the hospitality of the Juniors
very much.
Nina Murcheson made a
"dandy"little gypsy andcertainly
knows how to tell fortunes. We
might say here that Nina, like
all the other Juniors, never at
tempts anything that she doesn't
make a success of.
All took their parts perfectly
without any prompting or en-
barrassing pauses. John Olson,
as Patrick Phelan, made a good
Irish handy man" and an ar
dent lover to the charming Nora,
the maid, taken so we'll by Dor
othy Newton.
Charlie McCory, as Zeb Tucker,
a Wells-Farso man, though never
getting very stirring" made
quite a bit of fun by his droll
talking and easy going notions.
On the other hand Mr.. Weed, the
inventor of Weed Patent Pa
nacea," taken by Clarence Pa
velka, had remarkable ability as
an advertiser and rapid talker.
Byron Strickland showed that
he might be capable of being dig
nifed if need be by the way in
which he took the part of Hon.
Ira Barton, a wealthy Bostonian;
Ethel Martin as his daughter, a
very admirably acted the part of
a genuine American girl. From
her acting we might conclude
that she has a mind of her own,
and doesn't hesitate to exercise
it occasionally. Leefe Bright, as
her sister, although too old for
dolls and too young for a beau,
proved that she was almost cap
able Of holding her own.
Wild Flower, a little Indian
girl, very successfully taken by
Agnes Ryan, PORTRAYED well the
tact and skill of acting the part
of one of that race.
Joseph Benson, although ordi-
narily a peaceful, law abiding citi-
zen, and a a''woman dodger, "skill-
fully acted the part of the william,
a Mormon saint; and his hench-
man, Alfred Smith, we think OBJ
served the masters rules more
strictly than hisalgebra formulae.
George Loudon, contrary to his
usual quiet nature, as Buckshot,
made a remarkably daring scout
and an excellent hero.
Enough praise cannot be given
the Juniors for their work and
we should not object to a chance
to see them perform again in the
near future.

and Unbeliever.

after marriage, and the girl who marries

Do not marry a man who Is a spend
thrift. He Is often rather a jolly sort
with attractive manners and a very care
less style. which girls rather like, but
unless the girl is content to face eventual
poverty. and perhaps something worse
than poverty. she had better let him
gang his ain gait" without her CON-
panionship.
As rule spendthrift becomes a
cadger. He filings his money about while
he has got any. quite careless of the
happiness of those who are dependent
upon him, but when his money is gone
he does not scruple to beg for more, and
to stoop to all kinds OF mean devices to
raise the wind" Avoid the spendthrift
as you would the plague. He is selfish
and heartless.
Liar Not Dependable.
Do not marry the man whose word you
cannot rely upon.
man who is capable Of telling a lie
Is capable Of any meanness and any
shabby trick. Lying is one Of those things
which doctors call, when they are speak
ing of diseases, "symptomatic." It shows
a radical defect of character-a lack
of conscience and rectitude and honor,
defects which will not help to make
woman happy. No; the liar Is the man
to avoid. Give him a wide berth. What
ever you do, do not marry him.
Do not marry the man who sheers at
the things you hold dear-the cynic, the
blase man, who has seen everything and
done everything. and lost all respect for
honor and virtue and goodness and truth
and, indeed, has ceased to believe in
these things. Such a man will quickly
take the bloom of a woman's ideals, and
drag her down to his own level of cyni-
cism and unbelief.
Cynicism Breeds Unhappiness. -
And, when all Is said, there is no hap
piness to be found in q cynical, sneer-
ing. unbelieving view of life. any more
than there is any Joy IN n cold, cloudy
day. That sort OF thing biots the sun
shine out of life. and q lifelong COM
panionship with such a man would be
sufficient to blight any girls happiness.
Do not marry a man who thinks of
himself first, last, and oil the time, and
expects everybody to wait upon him.
Such a man is born tyrant. He seems
to walk with an imaginary mirror in
front of him, in which he sees nothing
else in all the world except himself.
The man who loves himself best and
first cannot possibly make a good hus-
band, because love is giving and not
taking, and Is essentially unselfish.

There are dozens of charming bed neg

ed flannel or pale silk, lined with China
silk for warmth, and bound with ribbon
of the same color.
A handmade cover for a hot-water bag
is also a pretty attention. These can
either be crocheted or made of soft
linen, with a bit of embroidery and but
rubber bag. They can be easily latin-
dered.
Bed socks give great comfort and
warmth. Some people are sensitive to
the contact of wool, so soft cotton or
fleece-lined canton flannel may be used
instead. Very pretty models can also be
crocheted and knitted.
Handmade yAfghans.
Nothing can be more delightful, when
the convalescent is first allowed to sit

soft, woolly blankets and silk-wadded

that there is no use In commenting upon
their delights. It is sufficient to feel
