HALLOWEEN.

Halloween has come again, with
its frolic and fun, its mystic and
weird ceremonies, its ghosts and its
fortune tellers. The ideal place
for a Halloween carnival is the
kitchen or the barn, decorated with
autumn leaves, cornstalks and
pumpkin Jaok-o' Lanterns, which
cast long shadows and people dark
corners with fantastic figures.
There are many sports which are
popular on Halloween. chief among
them bobbing apples in a tub OF
water.

A Citisanshiu oath


We will never bring disgrace TO
this, our country, by any act OF dis
honesty, or cowardice, nor ever de-
sert our suffering comrades in the

above us who are prone TO annul
and set them at naught. We will
strive increasingly TO quicken the
public sense OF civic duty, and thus
in all these ways, we will transmit
this country, not only not less, but
greater and better and more beauti-
full than IL was transmitted TO u.s."

taken by the young Athenians when
assuming the responsibilities Of cit

"Only hearts make home. With

The quotations above were taken
from a current number Of the Chris

expresses that which every wife

like To have said OF her; the second
points out the way for the woman
who desires TO make her home the

Miss Christina Mutchelknause
died at the home of her brother,
Chris. Mutchelknause in the west
part of town, Tuesday afternoon,
aged forty-fve years. Her death
was not unexpected as she had
been a great sufferer for over a
year. She first had a ANGER re-
moved from her breast, and
scarcely had she recovered from
this when a trouble developed in
her hip resulting in a decaying of
the bone, and for about eight
months she had been unable to
leave her bed. Funeral services
will be held today at Odessa church
four miles north of Lestervilie.
She leaves five brothers and two
sisters, Fred, Gottlieb, Christ,
Jacob and Carl Mutchelknause.

abolish the city board of health
and repeal the ordinance governing

distinction between the duties of
each so poorly defined that it was
thought best to abolish the local
board entirely and permit the work
to be done entirely by the county
board.

best blue suit, with broad white collar and
huge red bow tie. From the pocket of his
jacket, could it be seen, protrudes the corner
of a clean handkerchief, placed there with
strict injunctionS to remember that he has
it and to use it when necessary. His red
stockinged legs are sheathed in rubber boots,
for the snow is still deep; but his overcoat
pocket bulges with a pair of slippers wrapped
in newspaper, and he must remember to take
off his rubber boots in the hall when he ar
rives at the party and put the slippers on.
"And for PHYS sake he has been told,
keep out of the deep snow on your way, so
that your boots won't be full of it and your
feet sopping wet, as they generally are-or
you II get it when you get home!"
1t was long way from his house to the
Watsons' but all went we'll with our hero
until he passed Bowker's. He had not
thrown a SNOWFALL nor waded drift, and he
didn't mean to, either. But what are you
going to do when Bowker has a new dog
that you have been trying to get friendly
with, and he comes out to see you, wagging
his tail, with all his suspicion of you van
ished and trustful smile on his face? Of
course you must stop.
Hello, Doggy" said our hero, as the dog
approached. Forgetting instructions, he
knelt in the deep snow, with his hand out
stretched in greeting. The foolish dog came
nearer, ready for a romp with this well
dressed stranger, whom he did not remember
having seen before. Suddenly he recognized
our hero through his disguise, and turned
and fled, tail between legs. Our hero's arms,
new mittens, white cuffs, and all, dived into
the snow up to his shoulders; the retreating
dog emitted yelp as well hurled snow
ball srnote him on the flank, and redoubled
his speed as 3ki-yi-ing" demon pursued him
clear to the barn, under which the terror
stricken brute rushed for safety.
Our hero there gave up the chase and re-.
traced his steps, stopping to pick his slippers
out of the snow. When he reached his
destination his rubber boots were filled with
snow to their tops, his white cuffs were
wilted his collar and bow tie were askew,
and his hair was mussed. But he had come
nearer to that dog than ever before. Next
time he would catch him surely, and then, if

of how, at the very moment when he fam

about his heart would have yielded his dear

In manner of speaking, he brought it on
himself; for if he had not been possessed of
the cussedness of small-boyhood, which made
him push himself in where he was not wanted
it would never have happened. This at

afternoon he and Bimmy Waters and Reddy

and Sam Watson came along, on his way to
the postoffice to mail the invitations for his
birthday party. They had not been waiting
for Sam Watson. They were pausing on
the fence only until such time as Fatty Dear
born, the constable, should turn the corner
by the Baptist Church, rendering the coast
clear for them to make their long con-
