Next Monthly Dance Saturday.

Next Saturday night the Eagles will again give one of their semi monthly dances and the commit tee in charge promises to make lthis affair even more enjoyable than those given by the order in the past.
 These dances were started a few months ago and the success attending each affair has been so gratifying to the Eagles that plans are now we'll under way to the dances indefinitely. Through an arrangement with the Moose it was made possible to hold these dances without con- flicting with the enjoyable affairs given by that order. Under this arrangement the Moose consent ed to alternate each Saturday night with the Eagles, thus as suring successful dances for both orders and at the same time ce- menting the spirit of harmony (which exists between them.
 Next Saturdays affair will be up to the usual high standard maintained in the past, upon which the committee have been highly complimented by the dane ing public. The lunches hereto fore served have made a decided hit and special attention will be oiven this feature next Saturday. The music will be up to it's usual pleasing quality and everybody nows that the floor cannot be excelled for dancing purposes.
 The coming event promises to eclipse all past affairs and there lis no question but that those who attend will thoroughly enjoy themselves. Tickets may be pur- chased at. the door, the committee, however, reserving the right of ladmiSSiOn. .

ROCHESTER,, N. Y.
By George Fitch.

Rochester is a town of 225, ,UUO people, hidden away between Buff falO and New York City on the New York Central railway. It was founded by the Falls of the Gen rSee river, which at this point descends over 200 feet in three daring leaps, and which provided horse power for the flour mills of New York state when the steam engine was still in it's feeble and sputtery infancy.
 Rochester is divided into six segments like a cherry pic, by the Genesee river, the Erie canal and the four-track New York Central. The GeneSee elbows it's way through the business part and cOmpels the Erie canal to cross if, on a high stone viaduct. Hardy mariners regard Rochester with terror and always equip them selves with parachutes while their canal boats are crossing on this dizzy edifice.
 Rochester brides itself on hav- Ing ,798 factories, most of which are equipped with smoke consum- CTS. It makes more cameras than any other city and produces train loads of shoes each month. Roch- ester factories stand in grassy parks and have landscape garden CTS. The result is so ornamental that Rochester may soon place factories along it's boulevards in order to improve the residence district.
 Rochester has a university a theological seminary and less pol ltlcs than any other New York city. It will be one of the sta tions on the new Erie canal and Will some day be seaport on Lake Ontario, having already ad- Vanced to within a few miles of the lake shores. It points with pride to it's churches, banks and parks, and also to the fact that the Twentieth Century Limited hesitates briefly while passing through the city. It is situated in the middle of the apple and seen cry districts of western New York and can be lived in with pleasur- able results. even by particular people. >''
