Rex Vaughn who has heen in the en-
ploy of J. A. Bellows at his pressing
and repair shop, has returned to Spo-
kane. His place has been filled by
Oswald Trowse, also of Spokane. Mr..

newick because he is bandman. His
utilization with the Commercial Club
Band will mean the addition of another
cornet
For pure, unadulturated fun, the ban
quet given by the men of the Westmin-
lister Adult Bible Glass of the Presby-
terrain church Monday night, in the
church parlors, easily lead everything
else that has happened in church circles
this year. Over thirty people partook
of refreshments which consisted of
oyster stew, coffee, cocoa, sandwiches
and cake served by the men. A COM
mittee, consisting of the pastor and
Elder w. H. Collins, received the ladies
at the door and relieved them of their
wraps and any valuables they might
have in their possession. A committee
on refreshments consisting of Chas. H.
Collins and H. Faxon, with w. j. Hoyt,
Attorney Moulton and Elder W. G. King
as assistants, attended to the brewing
of the oysters. Mr.. Faxon was the
chef of the evening and was attired in
a most becoming costume of red with
pink ribbon tied under the chin. He
allowed the oysters to burn but was ex
cused on the ground of not knowing any
better The din became so. great at
last that few reprimands had to be
given. R. H. Holcomb was fined for
loud talking; w. ]. Hoyt for being I'M
dignifed; Charlie Collins for evidence
that went to show that he used steam
rolled barley as substitute for oysters
in the oyster stew; Mr.. Richardson was
by Mrs. Rose, with large
bun in his pocket purloined from the
dining table, but as the discovery was
somewhat in the nature of a confession
the matter was hushed up. Several
others nearly escaped censure, Mr..
Moulton, teacher of the class, for put
ting his hand in his pockets and at
tempting to reproduce some of the songs
to be sung shortly at the choral society
concert Mr.. Slaugenhaupt looked very
much detected during the evening but
this dejecture and i'll humor was over
looked on the ground that his daughter
Miss Ruby, is home from college for
the Christmas holidays. Everybody
went in for good time and went home
satisfied that the men of the Westmin-
lister Bible Class are royal entertainers.
