|HN GOLDEN HUES
THE SUNSET DIES"

Volumes have been written about
the sunset on the water fronts, natur-
alists have been enraptured over the
sunset on small lakes, and thousands
of tourists have visited the pleasure
resorts on the shores of the Great
Sake Lake to witness this beauty of
nature, when the sun sinks below the
horizon. Those who have witnessed
this gorgeous sight on the mighty Pa
cific, those who have seen it in its
splendor on the Atlantic and those
who have seen it on the mirrored lakes
where nature doubles itself, stood
amazed and aghast on Thursday even.
ing when Old Sol bid goodnight to
Blachoot.
An electrical shower abated long
enough to give those more or less
timid of the thunder bolt, the pleas
ure of witnessing one Of the grandest
and most beautiful sunsets that ever
was. The clouds in the west raised
just high enough for that old artist
king, the sun, to peer through. The
thunder clouds changed their hue to
the richest gold, and shown over the
Grove City, painting the tops of her
beautiful trees and magnificent homes
such hues and colors that BATTLE the
artist and make words useless in de-
scribing their marvellous splendor and
gorgeous beauty. Such sunset was
perhaps what prompted the author of
''Idaho, Oh, Idaho" when he wrote,
|'In golden hues the sunset dies"

tho rightful owners after the meal.
Some OF these colored men had WON
derful memories
There was a real wizard az q

was 30 sure OF his faculty that he would
pay Ave dollars TO any guest who could
show a mistake on his part In restoring
the proper hat. He was a sort OF halt

that was as automatic as a machine.
Some Z tho boys tried to fool him.
They thought that the color OF the
necktie was associated In the darky's
mind with the hat placed on certa n
rack. Now, the hat was put on the
rack before the wearer was seated. go
It must have been something about the
personality. The boys wore ready-mate
bow ties and changed them during the
meal, but that didn't short-clrcult his
memory bit. Others changed coats,
and when that didn't work, they
changed tables
Each time the right hat would be

not even bother to stop humm!ng his
