Surprise Parties.
By Geo. Fitch.

Surprise parties flourish wherever
the Tango tea has not yet gained a
foothold.
TO the city the surprise party
would be a total failure because city
people refuse to be surprised at
anything. But in the country and the
small towns the surprise party comes
as great boOn-to the surprisers at
least.
1t is supposed to be almost impos-
sible for more than two people to
keep a secret Inc surprise party re-
flutes this superstition In this case
fifty people keep secret perfectly
They have to because if the secret
should leak out the surprises would
go hastily away on business and
wreck the entire surprise.
When in the course of human
events it becomes necessary for the
inhabitants of small town to sur
prise party neighbor they gather a
select mob together and arm it with
sandwiches, ice cream, potato salad,
peach pie, fried chicken, cold slaw,
eleven kinds of cake. This mob meets
d. q SlIdSellC pOlIlL ana moves upon
the doomed home just before bed
time. When it has draped itself over
the 'front.' porch the leader rings the
dOOrbell and when the host arrives
he sees at once that resistance is use
less. He admits the party and it
stays until | o'clock or even later.
The success of a surprise party is
measured by the costume of the sur
prises. If the hosts should be found
dressed in their best the affair would
be a CHASTITY failure. But if the wife
can be found with her hair in a braid
and the husband in his shirt sleeves
and slippers while the house has been
torn up to be recarpeted and there
is DUST on the piano the affair is a
dazzling success from the start.
After the surprise has wedged it.
self into the house it eats all the food
it has brought together with what
there is in the house and presents
the victims with a handsome cut
glass vase. 1t then departs and the
next day the host cleans house.
Three moves are as good as a fire
in the city and two fires in the coun-
try are equal to one successful sur
prise party.

Automobile Accident.

One evening the latter part OF last
week an automobile accident hap
pened that might easily have result
ed much more seriously. There are
several stories in regard to the acct
den. but it seems that Ferry Vail
with his auto, in company with Miss
Wood, Richard Mcdowell and Miss
Lorgacre were JOY riding in the east
part of town and in passing some
teams Ferry struck the crossing in
front of the Geo. Bartlett place with
a good deal of force Miss longacre
and Richard Mcdowell were in the
rear seat, and it is said that MISS
Longacre was sitting on one or the
doors at the side of the machine and
when the shock came, the door came
open, throwing her to the ground and
bruising her up in a frightful mar
ner, and when she was picked up II
was thought for a time that she was
dead, but she was taken to the Dr..
Wilkin home and regained conscious
ness. Later she was taken to her
home in the country and it Is thought
that she will recover, but will pos
sibly bear scars-Garden Grove Elk

The Purity of Granny.

Old granny sits serene and kinks
and knits and talks of bygone ages,
when she was young; and from her
tongue there comes the truth of
sages. I'm vanished years. she
says, my dears, the girls were nice
and modest, and they were shy and
did not try to see whose wit was
broadcast. In cushioned hooks they
read their books, and loved the poets
lifting; with eager paws they helped
their mas at cooking and quilting.
The maidens then would shy at man
and keep them at distance, and
each new sport who came to court
was sure to meet resistance. The
girls were flowers that bloomed in
bowers remote from worldly clamor,
and when l view the modern crew
they give me katzenjammer. The
girls were sweet and trim and neat,
as fair as dollhouse lilies, and when
scan the modern clan l surely have
the willies. Refinement fades when
modern maids come forth in all their
glory; their hats are freaks, their
costumes shrieks, their nerve is
hunkydory. They waste the night
and in daylight they're doctoring
and drugging; when they don't go to
picture shows they're busy bunny
Then granny takes her
pipe and breaks some plug tobacco
in it, and smokes and smokes until
mother chokes and runs out doors

CITIZENS SEEK TO FORCE 20" TO
SELL.
Alle9e Branch Lines are Operated in
Violation of Antitrust Law,

Action to compel the Burlington
route to sell the line running from
Shenandoah to keokuk by way Of
Centerville, known at the Keokuk &
Western, and the Humeston & Shen-
olation of the Sherman antitrust
law, will be taken by residents of the
towns along the route, says the Reg
lister and Leader Of last Saturday.
Organization was perfected for
this purpose at meeting held at the
capitol yesterday by Attorneys Fl. f.
Scott of Clarnda and e. r. Ferguson
Of Shenandoah, with Dwight Lewis,
assistant commerce counsel.
The attorneys will present the
facts to the legal department of the
government at Washington, with the
request that suit be filed Immediately
in the federal court.
The line of action was determined
upon after indignation meetings had
been held in number of the towns
along the keokuk 4 Western, called
for the purpose of protesting against
the alleged poor service provided by
the Burlington route.
1t was asserted that the company
has been giving such poor service for
so long that the business of the line
has dropped off SO that the line hard
ly pays operating expenses. The peo-
pie who depend upon the line say
that because the Burlington operates
a main line across the state a short
distance to the north, the branch is
neglected.
The people hired as their attor-
neys, Fl. H. Scott of Clarinda, and E.
R. Ferguson of Shenandoah. They
determined that it will be best for
southern Iowa if the Burlington is
compelled to let go of the keokuk &
Western. If another company Sc
cures the property, it will come into
direct competition with the Burling-
ton and therefore the service and
business will be greatly improved,
they assert.
The line which is sought to be sep
arated from the c. B. & @. system is
nearly 800 miles long. 1t extends
almost across the state in the south
ern tier of counties of the state. 1t
is ordinarily rich territory and or
iginates a large volume of business
for local lines, the attorneys assert.
1t is declared that the feeling
against the poor service provided by
the operating company is running
high in the towns affected
