ternoon. 1t goes without saying that
all present had very nice time.
Some of the crusty old bachelors
about town tried to ring in on the
feed, but Landlady Andert said "posi-
lively nothing doing" A few more
instances of this kind will lead the
most forgotten and hard-shell bach
elors to believe that in order to
participate in social affairs and en-
joy the pleasure and benefits derived
therefrom they must sooner or later
convince some old maid regardless
of size, color or denomination that
the only life is to depart on the voy-
age Of happiness, trials and sorrows,
which means to take a life partner
for better or for worse in some case
bringing ray of sunlight after dis
NAL darkness while in other cases
may bring tears and sorrow that can
never be forgotten.

cial mention must be made of a vo-
cal solo given by Mrs. Rev. Stegner
with piano accompaniment by Miss
June Ethelson. This was certainly a
musical treat and admired by the
large audience present. L. J.
Schlattman gave the opening address
and spoke on the value and benefits
derived from work" and the trans
formations that have taken place in
every part of the globe where earnest
work and self confidence have been
exchanged for carelessness and un-
determination. Mr.. Schlattman was
unanimously elected president of the
society for the ensuing year as we'll
as all the other officers of two years
ago. The next literary society meet
ing will be held in the school audit
