because of it's beauty and value, but
because of the spirit that suggested it
and the "auld time memories / wish
to thank the pastor, officers and peo-
pie of the Methodist church for the
fine spirit exhibited in permitting the
use of their church for the occasion.

STEAM BOILER TRAVELS
HIGH AND FAR

The explosion of boiler in the milk
house at the Normal School farm FRI
day evening completely destroyed the
building in which it was housed and
also caused considerable damage at
the residence of Miss Julia Morse,
over block and half away
The boiler, which is about 51a feet
high and 2 #. in diameter, was hurled
through the milk house to height of
at least 1900 feet. 1t came down
through the roof of Miss Morse's
house and was only halted from go
ing through the floor of the room in
which it landed by dresser, which it
struck squarely and demolished be-
yond recognition.
For a while there was considerable
mystery surrounding the accident
at the residence no one had any idea
where the missile could have dropped
from, and at the milk house they had
no idea where the boiler had gone to.
Fortunately no one was injured IN
the accident, Miss Morse being down
stairs at the time the missile struck
the house, and the attendant at the
school farm had left the building just
"a few moments before the explos or
occurred.

TRIM ST. MARY'S IL to O
River Falls Showed Improvement In
Few Minutes That Regulars Worked
In Game Here Saturday.

La Crosse normal won the southern
circuit title last Saturday in a tieless
game against Milwaukee, thereby re
tanning the record Of being the only
undefeated team in that wheel. The
championship was decided there the
same as it was in this circuit, River
Falls holding off Stevens Point in 9
scoreless game.
Press reports had given La Cross.
the reputation Of being altogether tor
fast for Normal class, but the show
ing made against them by the Mi
waukee team lends lots. of encourage
ment to Red & White rooters.
The game with st. Mary's here last
Saturday also boosted the River Fai!$
stock, as in the first half, with tho
regulars going full tilt, they scored
twice, and on defense kept the speedy
visitors helpless. The Saints played
a fast, clever game, and in the seconc
half, against an ever changing oppo-
sition had little better Of the argu-
ment.
Sands scored both touchdowns.

Once there was little maiden
In the days Of long ago,
r x.aJ oo,-JJ J~.or.Lo Loov

Once there was a little maiden
In the days Of long ago,
I wish I could describe her,
That her virtues all might know.
She was tiny, sweet, vivacious,
Full of witchery and fun,
With host of fond admirers,
Of whom David deer was one.
I believe that Lenna led him,
For a while a merry chase,
But David was determined
And soon won in the race.
You all know how it ended, (
How, under Loves sweet sway,
They pledged their troth together,
Fifty-four years ago today.
Fifty-four years, how long it seemith
As it STITCHES out before;
But as we take the backward look,
How we wish the years were more
So their lives were fileed with sun
shine,
Tho sometimes a cloud would lower
And perhaps sometimes it happened
That there was thunder showr.
But soon tn sun was cleaning,
On the dark clouds overhead,
And a lovely bow of promise
On the darkest cloud was spread.
Their blessings gathered round them
Coming to them one by one
Until four sweet and loving children
Filled with joys their happy home.
And today, to do them homage,
Gathered here in proud array,
Three generations sit before them
Gladly owning their sovereign sway
So, along the pleasant highway
Of these fifty-four years
Cur parents have walked together;
Have mingled smiles and tears.
Times fingers have left burrows,
And touched their hair with snow,
But their love has grown more tender
Since fifty-four years ago.
And as they walk together
While the evening shadows fall,
May the ending of the journey
Be the very best of all.
And when shall come the summons

Married 81 Years
Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Proctor, Formerly
of River Falls, Celebrate 54th We'd
ding Anniversary at California
HOME-It Is Also Mr.. Proctor's
80th Birthday.
(From The Santa Rosa (Cal.) Post)


Golden milestone and then four
years more have marked the matri-
n1onlal journey of Mr.. and Mrs. David
D. Proctor, whose home, Scenic View,
is situated near Occidental, on the
road from Sebastouol.
Sunday witnessed the fifty-fourth
anniversary of their wedding, and rot
only that, but it witnessed the eight
ieth anniversary of Mr.. Proctor's birth
as well. Happy indeed was the celc-
bration which marked this occasion.
Surrounded by children, grandchild-
rem and greatgrandchildren this ven
cradle couple, hale and hearty despite
their long years of life, held an all
day reception, which was certainly a
memorial occasion for all whose priv
lilege it was to participate in the fes-
| tivities.
The good things provided for the
| occasion were apparently inexhaust-
able and many Of them were the result
Of the individual skill Of the bride of
| ffty-four years ago, whose prowess
as cook has brought her wide fame
Among other special features was a
huge birthday cake that served also
as a wedding cake. 1t glistened with
| the requisite number of lighted can
dies and had its station Of honor on
the center Of the dinner table. But
what think you sustained this wonder
rous confection? 1t was an enormous
pewter platter, heirloom in the Proc
tor family, where it's possession dates
back at least two hundred years.
Gathered at the old home for the
celebration of the happy event were
the children of Mr.. and Mrs. Proctor
Mrs. Fife L. Coy, Walter L. Proctor
and David C. Proctor, together with
their families. There we're five grand
children and three great grandchild-
rem also present. The grand children
are Mrs. Ethel Coy Luce, Lovella F.
Proctor, w. L. Proctor, Jr., G. Wal
ter Coy and William L. Proctor. The
great grandchildren are sons and
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. S Luce
| A brother Of Mrs. Proctor, Mr.. L. L
Bevington, of North Dakota, was hap
PLY also able to be here and to par
! ticipate in the momentous celebration
River Falls, Wisconsin, was the
scene of the marriage Of Mr.. and Mrs
Proctor so many years ago. The bride
was but seventeen years of age at the
time.
| This venerable and honored couple
has wide circle of friends in Sonoma
county who all rejoice with them ir
the achievement Of their many years
and join whole heartedly in wishing
many further repetitions Of the joint
anniversary

MUST PAY.

of Clifton, Troy, Hudson, Warren,
Kinnickinnic, River Falls, Martell

The Modern Woodmen, like all

about 300 per cent monthly in the
number of deaths since the epidem-

societies have levied or intended to
levy extra assessments, the Mod
