ENJOYABLE CARNIVAL BALL.

The gay life of New Orleans during
Msrdi Gras was reflected here last
night in the Carnival Ball given at the
Elks Club by Married Ladies Cotillion
Club. All the guests came masked
and dressed as rural lads and lassies,
the hssies wearing aprons and sun
bonnets, and the lads o~veralls and sun
hats. Some Of the costumes were un-
ique and created much merriment,
among them being that of a certain
professional gentleman who attended
dressed in his apron and sun bonnet.
Carnival. confetti was showered upon
the dancers during the evening.
Last night was guest night at the
club and many who were not members
Of the club were invited to be present
and greatly enjoyed the event. The
dance will long be remembered as n
one Of the most enjoyable occasions
ever attended by those who were so
fortunate.
Favors, typical Of the rural life,
were given at eleven and at midnight
hot coffee and sandwiches were serv-
ed. The Big Six Orchestra furnished
the music for the occasion.

EQUALITY.

Within q stately palace sat
A rich man on his throne;
Ito east, and west, and north and
south
A splendid kingdom shone.
This man, he waved a naughty hand,
Behold, it's all my own"
But Death said clear, in passing by:
"Even the rich must die"
Within the senate's marble hall
A mighty statesman spoke,
And to the people gave such strength
A tyrant's rule they broke.
This man. he waved a prideful hand,
"Twas / who Freedom woke!"
Yet Death said clear, in passing by:
"Even the great must die"
Within a humble cottage bent
A tiller of the soil;
The palace and the senate hall
Were built from out his toll.
This man, he waved a weary hand,
"Fate holds me in its COLL"
And Death said clear, in passing by:
"Even the poor must die"
