Palisade Triangles
Fair, A Fine Success,
Makes Good Showing


The Palisade Triangle Club fair
run off last week at the Public
School was charming success, so
far as the entertainment provided by
the boys was concerned. There was
no dearth of attractions, most of
them being of great interest, many
of them highly humorous, and others
quite serious in intent and appear
ance. Of the latter may be men,
toned several fine hams and other
good things donated by the friends
of the boys. The hams were sold a
claimed, and were of the best variety.
There was mans gold watch
donated also, on which many chances
were sold, and which was won by
little Howard Lane. A fine library
lamp presented by Mrs. S. E. Darby,
was a fine addition to the goods for
sale, and should have brought at
least fifty dollars-only it didn't.
The lamp was won by Miss Calm
Hoke.
One of the funniest incidents of
Saturday evening was George Frew's
Indifference to fate. George came
along and was bantered by Miss
Agnes Brady for a chance on the
gold watch.
ooh, yes," said George, "I'll take
"a chance, but I never Won anything
IN my life."
"Well, shall / put your name
down? ?" queried Miss Brady, after
she got the money.
Who, mine?" asked George. "Not
On your life. Put down anybody's
name, but not NINE"
Somebody suggested Howard Lanes
name, and down it went. When
he was glad Howard got it, as it
couldn't have happened under his own
name. "I'm hoodoo," he said.
One of the best enjoyed side shows
was the Masterpieces From the
Worlds Art Galleries." contribu-
ton from Mr.. Frederick Smith, of
Grantwood. It made great hit. Of
the long list of exhibits, all of which
were good, perhaps none was more
enjoyed than "a heavy sea at Long
branch" a large letter &c" made of
lead pipe, hanging on an old tree
bough four feet long. "a New Ruler
in China" was a two foot rule in a
china cup. "a Dogs Alarm" was a
piece of oak bark. "a Dog on the
Scent" was tiny china dog on a
penny. youth and Old Age" was
two pieces of cheese, one fresh, the
other not so much so.
y One of the best things of the show
was Werner Ebell's "The Mysterious
Dwarf" Werner appeared to be no
bigger than small boy, quarter
of his body showing, his arms and
his feet. Nobody every found out
Where the rest Of his anatomy re-
posed, but it must have been some
where around. His clogging was
immensely funny.
Martin Lyon insists that he wasn't
the "Matteawan Inmate" shown on
the Midway upstairs. Anyhow, who
Nutty," and surrounding him were
cards bearing the names, "Miss Hazel
Mutt" "Mr. Wall Mutt" Mr.. P.
Mutt" Miss Virginia Mutt" A little
wooden house was labelled, "This is
the Mutt house." 1t was all quite
funny.
Misses Clara Foeppel and Ethel
DeVaux told fortunes admirably,
taking in this reporter in handsome
fashion with fortune-Oh, if only
the half of it could came true!
Miss Gladly Stewart as "The
Crinoline Girl" wore a calico dress of
ancient pattern covered over with
pockets. You paid a nickel for
grab. She made picturesque fea-
ture of the entertainment.
Mrs. w. D. Lennon gave fine
lace boudoir cap and won it back.
A. L. Reuhmann won the ham, and
editor Logan paid $1.75 for one like it.
Mrs. James Stewart won the guess
at peas in jar.
Mrs. R. R. Brown won the guess
at beans in jar.
Miss Agnes Brady won one of the
two fine baskets of fruit-a beauty.
Herbert Middleton got the second
beauty basket of fruit.
Este Flagge got a good one off in
his "Molypalisadius," Latin term
modernized to mean pair of Pail
SADIE hens, and each time anyone
went into look over the ancient term,
it cost five cents. There were no
restrictions on the hens.
Robert Caffal charged ten cents
for fishing in his deep Sea" jungle,
and everyone was guaranteed
catch. The articles fished up all had
a good value for ten cents.
The Girls Club booth dispensed all
the good things needed to be taken
home, or inside, and they cleared a
handsome sum for the Triangles,
their own attractions being sufficient
to make all the visitors stop, look
and listen. Somebody said they
could not have been engaged in
sweeter business than candy selling.
The Girls Club, also, had the fancy
work booth and got many sales there,
and also through the third channel
of their endeavors, the refreshment
booth. They had the boys coming
and going and could not be lodged.
