More than fifty friends and neigh
bors Of Mr.. Olof Carlson surprised
him in very agreeable manner at
his home in this city on Wednesday
evening Of last week. Mr.. Carlson
has been confined to his home during
the past two years or more on ac-
count of paralysis. which affects one
side of his body and makes it inn
possible for him to move about or
do any work whatever. Realizing
Mr.. Carlson's unfortunate condition
and wishing to make his days pass
more pleasantly, his friends and the
friends Of the family, decided to pro-
cure for him rolling invalid chair
and subscription list for the pur-
chase of such a chair was circulated
by j. P. Goranson. After the unin-
yited guests had entered the home,
Z. M. Olson in behalf of those pres
ent in we'll chosen words delivered
the chair to Mr.. Carlson and also a
sum of sixty dollars in money that
had been raised in addition to the
price of the chair. It is needless to
say that Mr.. Carlson and his family
felt deeply grateful for this kind act
of friendship and genuine human
sympathy. The ladies Of the party
had brought along refreshments and
these were partaken Of and good
social time enjoyed by all who par
ticipated. Departing each one felt
richly repair in the satisfaction that
comes from doing a good deed and
helping deserving fellowman in
the hour of need.

The Club held it's regular meeting

At about 7:30, at which time every
body was started we'll on their way
the storm broke out in all it's fury
causing many sled loads of people to
turn back homeward. Some didn't
even get as far as home and had to
stop in at the Spaulding Farm for
the night. Others that went on were
lost on the way causing an hours
delay in the program for the even

Those who went north from the
school house experienced some trials

large snow bank across the road.

half an hour or so, the horses man

to each sled load and by the time
they had all gotten thru the large
snow drift, all one could see was

about cold feet).

A Valentine Frolic.

Probably never before, in he his
tory of Warren has there appeared
so marvellous a galaxy of stars as
assembled last Wednesday night ait
the home of Mrs. w. F. Powell,
where the Ladies Reading Circle en-
joyed their annual valentine frolc.
The program rendered will long be
remembered by all present, by rea-
son Of the marvellous skin and tech
nique of all the performers. The
orchestra first rendered that noble
overture Hearts and Cabbages" and
responded gladly to enthusiastic ap-
plause. Enough praise cannot be
given this organization for the won
derfully sympathetic Interpretation
they give of famous music. The
leader being a contortionist as we'll
as musician Of note, has wonderful
control over the performers and
brings out the best efforts of each
individual.
Bernardetta, the marvellous midget
with a world wide reputation as an
aerial gymnast, was present, but un-
able to perform, owing to too
earnest application to the cause of
woman's suffrage. AS a substitute
Casey came to bat.
Madam Dellatullio, of the Metro
politan Opera Singers, rendered a
solo, all alone, so touching that there
was not a dry eye in the audience.
Professor Robinson was called on
to render a selection ON her chosen
instrument, the bass-viol. She did
so and showed herself an artist in
deed, as the deep rich harmonious
tones she drew from her instrument
can be produced only by one who is
a master musician.
The Venetion Trio, direct from the
New York Winter Garden, proved q
strong attraction. Draped in the gay
colors Of their native land, they ren.
dered their selections with great
skill, the accompaniment being play.
