Delightfully."- Surprised

On yesterday morning very early
myself and wife went out to prepare
our new home in the country with a
view Of moving to the same and we
had hardly gotten out of town till
our neighbors secretly planned to
give US royal blowout, and when
We returned late in the evening to
our home in town we found the We
randa full Of guests. When we en-
tered. to our great surprise we found
the house all lit up and all our
neighbors. consisting of Mrs. Craig.
Mrs. Fades, Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Van
Bunkhorst, Mrs. and Miss varroth,
Mrs. Lunstrom, Mrs Waits, Mrs.
McIntire and Mrs. Mottern back in
the dining room and kitchen having
a merry time. When the curtains to
the dining room were thrown back
and we were ushered in, 10 and be-
hold. there stod before us a long
table that reached from one end of
the room to the other grooming un-
der the weight of everything that is
nice and good. We were too much
overcome to express our thoughts.
After these ladies' husbands all got
in we had our orders to make a dive
for the dining room and what we all
did to that supper was a caution
We ate, We talked and we laughed,
and, after all declared they had had
too much, we all repaired to the hall
and parlor and played old-time tricks
and games, and, II hearty laugh is
good for the soul, | am sure that we
all feel good today This token of
love and respect shown by our
friends and neighbors almost makes
us want to live and die by them, and
will long be remembered by us and
they will always have warm spot
in our hearts. May the great and
good Lord bless each one of them and
finally gather us to Himself on that
great day.

Age and Physical Strength.

A home that is home is zoe result
of the combined efforts and good will
of those Who dwell together within
the house. In this cooperative enter
prise none should be deprived of the
benefit which comes from carrying re-
sponsibility and contributing to the
general good. Hence, every child
should be given duties to perform in
that home as well as privileges to en-
joy. 1t is doubtful If a child should
be paid for performing his share Of
the home duties. Each child should
care for his own room and should do
this properly at the right time. Ger
tain other household or farm tasks
should be allotted TO him-nOt tasks
that viii delay him In starting 70
school, not those that win exhaust
him at night, or those too heavy for

is reasonable in kind and quantity
should fe given to him from his earll-
