The Sad Case of Jane Hobbs.

Not so long ago Il Lancashire road
breaker sold his wife to another man
and thought the transaction was per-
fectly legal because he had placed a
halter round her neck. the end or
which he put in the hand Of the pur-
chaser after the money had been paid
This belief rises from the custom Of
olden days. when wives were actually
led into the market place with halters
round their necks and sold to the best
purchaser. 1t was this custom which
led to the humorous ditty which runs:
"A jolly shoemaker. John Hobbs, he
married Jane Carter: no damsel was
smarter. but she was tartar, Jane
Hobbs So he tied rope to her. Jane
Hobbs. and like lamb TO the slaugh-
ter to Smithfied he brought her; but
nobody bought her. Jane Hobbs. oh.
who wants a wife, cried Hobbs; but
somehow they tell us those wife trad
ing fellows were all of them sellers,
like Hobbs."-LOndon Spectator.

IN HONOR OF MR.. HENNING.

The Belleville school last Friday al
ternoon was the scene of pretty Ger
emony-an expression by teachers and
pupils of appreciation for Mr.. Hen
ning's long and faithful service as
member of the school board cor this
district.
The opening song by the school was
followed by the distribution of gold
pins, received for excellent or satisfac-
tory scholarship and conduct, as well
as for the athletic work of last session.
The following named were so reward

The purpose of the meeting was then
made evident by a brief but apprecia-
tive review of Mr.. Henning's work as
director of the district for the last ten
years, by the reading and presentation
of resolutions by pupils and teachers;
a gift by the teachers; and the pre-
sentation by each class of beautiful
flowers.
Mr.. Henning, touched, spoke feeling
ly of his regard and respect for the
school, his long term of ten years en-
abling him to see the passing from
kindergarten to high school of the two
classes now in the high school as well
as the progress of all those now in the
school. He assured those present of
his continued regard and his interest
in all that affected their welfare.

Auction Bidding by Electricity.

Dutch market gardeners do not take
their produce to the "middleman." but
make him come to them and purchase
it. They have cooperative auction
marts. and the produce is sold by auc
ton run by electricity, at which quail
ity is guaranteed by the Growers Co
operative society. At the auction not
word is said beyond the announcement
of the quantity in the lot for sale.
There is an electric push below each
merchants seat communicating with a
clock face with numbers on 1t. The
pointer on the dial face is set going
When it reaches the figure some mer-
chant is willing to pay he touches his
push. the pointer stops. and without
any possibility of mistake and without
any one except the clerks knowing the
buyers name. the goods change hands.

THE LADY MASoNS CELEBRATED
THANKSGIVING.

On Monday night the members of
SITS. John Chapter No. 80, Order of the
Eastern Star, rendered a supper to the
members of the city chapters and the
members of SITS. John Lodge of Ma
sons in the supper room, where a
splendid repast was enjoyed by the
great crowd who accepted the hospi-
tally of the charming ladies. After
the short session of SITS. John Chapter,
the guests were seated at the four long
tables,which encircled the room. More
than 100 were present. E. w. Burgis,
who was made master of ceremonies,
made an address of welcome and in
his characteristic way gave a genuine
welcome to the guests.
Ira Wengrum answered to the toast
for the Grand Chapter. H. Acker re-
sponded for SITS. John Lodge, while the
toast Our Masonic Brothers," was
given by Miss Rosa keith. A. Steeg
spoke on the Star of the East Chapter,
and Miss S. Roberts spoke on Miriam
Chapter. A. A. Sperier responded
with the address of our past patrons.
Mrs. Rebentisch spoke for Rob Morris
Chapter and this was followed by an
address from A. S. Daniels, the black
smith Mason who would be willing to
work on King Solomon's Temple.
Mr.. Daniels subject was our wives
and sweethearts. He said the old
hearts, may they never meet" is
all wrong and that while he be-
lieved in the expression to some ex-
tent, he thought is should be as fol-
lows: Here's to our wives and sweet
hearts and may they be the same per-
son." Mr.. Daniels created quite an
uproar with his humorous talk and he
was greatly applauded.
Mrs. E. Balmer spoke on harmony
among the chapters. Joseph Hughes
made a very eloquent address during
the evening and as some of his friends
say. it was one of the best that he has
ever made. ]. B. Dussler, of Kosmos
Lodge, entertained with monologue in
behalf of the city Masonic lodges.
Miss o. Nelson rendered a piano solo,
followed by a vocal duet by Messrs.
Wallace Christy and Richard Nichols.
A song was sung by little Zelda Huck-
ms, after which was a vocal duet by
Richard Nichols and Mrs. Evelyn Gisch
Schafer. Mrs. Viola Huckins then
rendered a vocal selection. The eve
ning's entertainment was closed by
well-worded address from the present
worthy matron of SITS. John Chapter,
Mrs. Amelia Smith, who extended
thanks to those who took part in the
entertainment and also to J. P. SIM
mons of the Junius Hart Piano House
for the loan of piano.

THANKSGIVING PARTY FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE CONVENT
SCHOOL.

At five o'clock, Sunday evening, Dec
l, benefit in the shape of a Thanks
giving party, will be given by the pu
pills of the Holy Name of Mary School
on the Convent grounds.
The object of this little entertain,
ment is to help defray the expenses
incurred by much needed repairs which
were made on the Convent during the
summer months. These repairs amount.
cd to $500.
A very attractive program has been
arranged. There will be moving pic.
lures, songs, music, recitations and by
special request, the Spanish Dance and
Song by Miss Margarita Kelvin. Grab
bags and mystery boxes in which a va.
riety of wonderful, as well as beauti,
full articles, very appropriate for Christ.
mas presents, will play an important
part. There will be NO wheel of for.
tune. An especially pleasing and no
vel feature of the evening will be the
excellent music furnished by the or.
chestra from st. Mary's Boys Asylum
Through the kind courtesy of Mr.. H.
McCloskey, president of the n. o. Rail.
way Co., n special car will be chartered
for the conveyance of seventy-five or
phan boys and through the kindness
of Mr.. Verlander of the Southern I'M
provement Co., there will be free trans.
portation on the Canal Street ferry.
The boys will leave st. Mary's Asylum
at o'clock en- route for the Canal st.
ferry, where they will be met by the
recently organized Drum Corps" of
eighteen boys from the Convent school.
Then the air will resound with the dull
Get tones of the cornet, and the mar
tial beat of the drum.
Precisely at five o'clock the boys,
under the able direction of Sergeant
Martin of the Jackson Barracks, will
delight the audience with various evo-
buttons of military tactics, whilst the
youthful Drum Corps" of our own AL
giers' boys will, for the first time
proudly display their military achieve
ments and reflect much credit on Mr..
Mello, their instructor.
The outlook for a pleasant evening
is more than promising, and the peo-
pie of Algiers, always noted for their
appreciation of everything good, will
have rare treat given them. 1t is to
be hoped that they will lend their cor
dial cooperation, and encourage the
boys by being present in large num-
bers.
The admission will be five cents for
children and ten cents for adults. To
each ticket there is attached a coupon.
which will entitle the holder to a
chance on a fine turkey, kindly donat-
ed by Father Larkin as an entrance
prize. Various refreshments will he
on hand.
