DIETRICH NOTES.

"One day as old Saint Peter slept
He left the gates of heaven ajar;
A little cherub wandered forth,
! And came down with a falling star"
This occurred a week ago out at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. w o. Ham
ilton where this straying little fellow
has taken up his permanent abode.
It is very seldom that a boy baby is
born under happier conditions. Five
/ little sisters had preceded him, re-
markably fine little girls, so nearly
| of a size they might have all been
twins" And now think of this little
/ boy growing up under the watchful
! care of his parents and the refining
! influence Of all these little girls. We
/ doff our hat to the babe who is TO be
a great and good man under these
favoring circumstances.
Last Saturday evening in order to
pay proper respect to the dance that
was on the tapis at the hotel all the
young men wanted to put on their
best appearance and the tonsoriaI art
list was in demand. Glenn Kershner
and John Bate required his services,
and each wanted to be served first.
A wild race started from the restau-
rant to the shop. John was about three
inches ahead as they approached the
open door. Then Glenn remembered
that the race is not always to the
swift, but to the active and vigilant.
His heavy hand DETECTED John from
the open door sending him with the
lunge of a whale and the speed of a
rocket through the plate glass window.
The glass became powder and Johns
arm became near nothing. Yet he will
probably recover.
Lost in one human lottery and won
first prize in another. That was the
fortune of Church Smith. He failed
to win trip to Europe in the draft
last week and won a bride this week.
Church Smith and Miss Carrie Dooley
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W. C.
Dooley, were united in marriage at
Shoshone Wednesday. The happy
couple were attended by no less happy
one of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Kershner
who preceded them one week in the
matrimonial venture, Mrs. Kershner
being a younger sister of Mrs. Church
Smith. May these young people find
the voyage of life as pleasant and
prosperous as their merits promise is
the earnest wish of their hosts of
friends.
