ance at the Second Annual Banquet
at the Y. M. c. A. last evening, and at
least ninety of the teachers in this
county know how it feels to wear the
ounces cap for a couple of hours.
There's a reason" though, for as
the guests entered the room last ev-
ening they were each one presented
with a Ounce cap made from paper of
their fayorite color, and these they
donned Most of the caps were made
from black and yellow, Halloween
colors, to correspond with the color
scheme in the decorations of the hall.
Halloween Idea Prevalent.
Halloween colors and symbols dec
Grated the walls, the tables, and even
the guests, and a more happy, more
jovial, and a more congenial com
pany of banquetters were never to-
gether. Every one entered into the
spirit of the occasion, and, if in the
years to come there is ever held a
more successful banquet upon this
occasion it viii be when the same
guests, and the same instructors,
hosts and hostesses, are in charge.
One pretty young Miss was heard to
say when she was presented with
the bright yellow cap: oh, do have
to put that thing on?" She was told
that such was the desire of those in
charge, so she donned the cap, and
It's safe to say that no one in the
hall enjoyed the cap and the whole
affair more than did this fair young
Miss. .a.,..
Post PrandiaI Program.
The toasts were exceptionally well
chosen, and well given. H. R. ALI
good as POSTMASTER carried the hon.
ors most graciously and the place
could not have been more ably tllled.
Toasts were each and every one fine,
and there is no line of distinction, I'M
less one might mention in particular
the tost given by one of yesterdays
instructors, Mr.. Cunningham, whose
efforts were loudly applauded, and
who kept the company laughing most
Of the time Mr.. Kramer of the
~" gave a demonstration in Indian
Club swinging which was one of the
features of the affair. The clubs are
lighted with electric lights and make
a pretty picture when swung as he
swings them.
All But One In Attendance.
Mahaska county has ITS teachers
in the rural schools, and with but one
exception each teacher was in attend
ance at all sessions of the institute |
yesterday. Sickness prevented at /
tendance in this instance, which is I'M |
ayoidable. The attendance of each |
teacher in the county is a feather in |
the cap of the institute; and those in |
charge of the work are to be congrat- |
ulated upon the splendid success of |
the whole affair County Superin-
tendent Jessie L. Duboc and her COM
petent assistant, Miss Nellie Wray, !
have worked long and faithfully on |
details of the institute. and their eff !
forts are richly rewarded by the in |
terest which the teacher shows in the |
work, the success of the affair in de-
tail, and the success of the instruct
ors whom they secured. Last even
ing's program follows:
