BIRTHDAY SURPRISE.
The birthday anniversary of Jake

brated Friday evening when COM
pany of sixteen ladies and gentlemen
completely surprised him. Every
available hiding place in the house
was made use of by the guests and
when Mr.. Schroeder arrived not a
person was in sight. His surprise
was certainly genuine when the
guests made their appearance, conf
ing from all corners of the home. A
toothsome dinner was served In
courses at six O'Clock with the COM
pany seated around one large table
decorated with beautiful bouquet
of chrysanthemums. Cards and a
general social time occupied the ev-
ening hours.
A DOUBLE SURPRISE.

mother, Mrs. Wilhelmina Koenig,
were very pleasantly surprised Fri
day afternoon at their home on
Bank street when about forty-five
of the German Lutheran
ladies aid society assisted them in
celebrating their birthday anniver-
saries. Rev. Koenig's natal day was
Friday, while his mothers birth
day anniversary will occur soon-so
soon that it was thought appropriate
to celebrate both at one time. A
beautiful Indian blanket was pre-
scented to the church pastor while
Mrs. Koenig was remembered with
the goods to make new gown. The
afternoon hours were spent socially
and q delicious dinner was served in
courses on table made pretty with
decorations Of pink and white roses
and carnations.
In the evening Rev. Koenig had
another surprise when the members
of the church choir called at the
home and presented him q gold piece
in honor of the occasion. The young
ladies invaded the kitchen and made
fudge and other CONNECTIONS for the
company. Music furnished entertain
ment for the evening and the hours
were very enjoyably passed.
SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL.
The box social Friday evening at
the Mason school house three miles
east of town was grand success.
Through the efforts of Miss Ruby
the teacher, an excellent
program was carried out and the
sum of $40 netted the school. Mr..
H. L. Hampton gave three fine read
ings and Miss Katherine Lane, as
gypsy fortune teller, told fortunes
at five cents each which helped with
the sale of the boxes to swell the
receipts. A large crowd was in at
tendance from among the school pat
rons and friends from this city.
EVENING PARTY.
About fifty young people enjoyed
a party at the home Of Miss Hazel
Ludlow on west Bank street Friday
