News Items From Our Correspondents

Richards and wife, the big event
OF the season, was a grand sue
cess. The house was packed
and all enjoyed the dancing and
excellent refreshments which
consisted of cake, punch, chick
en- sandwiches and pickles. The
wedding cake was a beauty,
adorned artistically with two
lovers hearts and other suitable
decorations. This was bashfully
cut by the groom; then all proved
that it was as good as it looked.
The couple have our hearty
wishes for a prosperous, peace
full and pleasant journey over

A Halloween Party

Last Saturday night a Hallow-
cen masquerade party was given
at the home of O. P. Veach by
his wife and her sister, Miss
Sue Lionbarger. But few guests
were in costume due, no doubt,
to the fact that a large number
were at the play. After the
play, however, quite a bunch
put in an appearance. Those who
were in costume showed excel
lent taste in their selections and
the disguise they afforded was
almost perfect.
Aside from the spookie feat
ures of the evening, numerous
games were played. They were
exceedingly clever and their ma
ture proved much preliminary
preparation.
The supper, too, was "out O.
sight" The table was artist
cally decorated with napkins,
place cards, ETC., suggestive of
Halloween. T h e miniature
pumpkins of China tied to each
place card were especially at
tractive. The supper itself,
likewise, was so fine as to per-
haps belong to that class said to
be conducive of 'seein' things
at night"
The Grand Prize, Grand Prix
and Highest Award for the best
costume was awarded Miss Sue,
who impersonated Santa Claus.
Indeed it may be that all
present had a rousing good time
and were unanimous in their
praises Of the hostesses who un-
questionably displayed rare en-
tertaining ability.

A 104 pound baby boy arrived
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

This makes four boys in the
family. Judging from Andrews
talk, one would think that being
the father of four sons is greater
than to be president of the United
States.

there are any skepticals just call
at Hans Hansen's ranch, The

There are strawberry plants in
bloom, green berries, and large,
luscious, ripe ones, some meas
uring three and one-fourth inches
in circumference. These plants
have been bearing constantly
since the middle of June.

OLD FOLKS DAY
IN SNOWFLAKE

1t was a grand gathering OF
good old people that took place
in Snowflake last Saturday to
participate in Old Folks Day.
Beside the local coterie o t
youngsters" many were in at
tendance from different sections
of the county.
The reunion was held in the
assembly hall of the Academy
building, where in the forenoon
a general handshake and visit
was had and the band enter
tanned with several selections.
Ex-Bishop John Hunt, the oldest
person present, also made sew
eral minutes talk, telling of the
trials, dangers and adventures
when he first settled in the west.
At noon a sumptuous dinner
was served to the assemblage,
many of whom were specially
invited guests, including the band
boys, who were given a conven-
lent place in the midst of plenty.
Mrs. Nellie II. Smith, of the
Academy faculty, assisted by
some of her best student cooks,
helped serve the dinner, and it
was said to have been a repast
that will not soon be forgotten.
In the afternoon a we'll pre-
pared program was rendered,
consisting of music-vocal and
instrumental recitations, etc.,
and a few steps in dancing were
given by Mrs. Grabilla Willis,
Mrs. Clara Tenney and Uncle
George" Willis to show how
young" they felt.
At night "The Old New Hamp-
shire Homestead. a three-act
melo-drama, was presented at
Social hall, to which all the old
folks were invited as special
guests. The show was under
the auspices of the M. l. A. and
proved to be an excellent one.
1t would take a large amount of
space to give write-up of the
good acting of each participant.
but as the large audience pro-
nounced the entertainment AL,
that should be sufficient.
Much of the success Of the
days festivities was dueto theun-
tiring efforts of Messrs. Jas. M.
Flake and w. E. Stratton, and
Mesdames H. S. Hunt, Eda Will
lis and Eliza T. Smith, the COM
mittee in charge of the affair.

joyed more, the Samoan's visit
or our enthusiastic Uncle Sam.
Though the Academy girls are
not athletes, they are good cooks.
They have the welfare of our
boys at heart and mean to see
them champions in our games
this year. Tuesday evening after
a strenuous practice game they
served refreshments to the boys
of both teams. Maybe that will
help some. Eh?

two games, one between the
second teams, the other between
the first teams of the respective
schools. Although our boys have

behind it general impression that
MacMahon was not strongly opposed
to the monarchy; and his election to
the presidentship a few years after
was owing largely to the support of
the Royalists in the assembly After
his election, however, he seemed to
have resigned himself to faithfully
playing the part of the chief of the re-
public, and the hopes of the Royalists
had gradually died away, when they
we're suddenly revived by the incidents
l have described. A remarkable activ-
ity instantly displayed itself in their
ranks, followed by corresponding de-
preston on the part of the friends of
the existing regime. You know the
electrical atmosphere of Paris, that
city which in the course Of century
has witnessed ten revolutions. Sinis-
ter rumors coupled with the name of
the president were on every lip, and
men went about not knowing from
hour to hour whether they might not
hear Of the overthrow Of the republic,
and the proclamation of Henri v at
the Elysee.
THE president himself was, of
course, the last person in Paris to
whom these whispers were likely to
penetrate. Carried away by his desire
to meet his lady Of the lilies again,
he did not hesitate to fulfill her in
structions by once more driving out
with the fatal signal in his buttonhole
While all Paris was reeling under this
fresh shock, the unconscious marshal
sought his reward at the little door
Of the garden.
"The unknown was faithful to her
appointment. She was again Veiled,
and greeted him at first with a shy
reserve, which did not prevent her
from allowing him to bestow a kiss
upon her delicate fingers.
care you beginning to overcome
your repugnance to my poor lilies, M
le Marechal?' she asked, as soon as
they had exchanged greetings.
1t has never been your lilies for
which / have felt repugnance, pro-
tested the marshal; but only for
those with which the Comte de Cham
bord has sought to replace our glorl-
GUS tricolor.'

two lustrous eyes as beautiful as
sapphires, which cleaned through the
darkness as though they were about
to be filed with tears.
"MacMahon was the president Of
France, but he was at the same time
a man. Overcome by this touching
spectacle, he forgot the graver aspect
Of the situation, and remembered only
that he had caused distress to a
woman. He instantly stepped to the
side Of the young girl, as he now per
ceived her to be, and began to reassure
her.
"'Believe me- he said, in a voice
which combined respect with a certain
tenderness, when l tell you that re-
gret nothing which has procured me
the pleasure Of your charming ac-
Quaintance. 1t is, on the contrary,
who ought to ask pardon for my pre-
sumption in daring to imagine that an
old man like myself could inspire
any interest other than a political
one in person so young and exquisite
as yourself
The girl before him blushed, and
pretended to turn her eyes away in
embarrassment.
"'But you must consider that !
have deceived you, she murmured
I have obtained access to you under
false pretenses. Take back this key
which you will no longer be willing
that l should avail myself Of.

which she held out to him, with a
gesture of reproach.
"'Ah, mademoiselle, do not infiici
on me SO great punishment! Do
not tell me that my society has al
ready become intolerable to you'll
"'Then you are willing to continue
