A sky all luminous with dust OF stars.
A moon-bright river ripping far be-
low,
A drowsy wind, too indolent to blow
Aught save hay scented breaths across
the bars
OF open windows. Nothing taints or
Jars
The magic stiffness of the quiet dark
Pierced here and there by some stray
firefiy's spark.
And warm with lure of unknown
avatars.
Strange ecstasies watt past-the subtle
gift
or dew drenched gardens. where faint
shadows creep
Like wraiths Of ancient lore. that
yearning keep
At youth and life-till ghost and mortal
drift
Like weary ships that weathered
stormy streams.
Into the restful port OF Happy
Dreams.

THE TIRE OF SUPERIOR QUALITY

We pay our Workme0 in Tires a very

there are any just complaints, we refer

The w2rkmen agree 10 this, because
they receive very much higher pay than
is customary 10 other factories; and by
having to pay the claim il there is

Frank J. Thielen
Becomes A Benedict

A prominent young couple from
Audubon township slipped quietly
out of town Tuesday morning,
with Audubon as their destination.
Only short time were they gone,
and they returned to us as quietly
as they had departed. After their
return, the secret was too good
to keep longer, and it became
known that they had taken "the
terrible leap" that morning during
their absence.
The parties concerned were Mr..
Frank J. Thielen and Miss Edna
Corlene Wahe, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Wahe. Both
are very popular and are followed
by the best wishes of their many
friends to their home on farm
near Extra.

Badly Burned When Ker-
osene Causes Explosion


Lars Larsen, farmer residing
east of this city, suffered severe
burns last Thursday, when his
clothing caught fire, following an
explosion caused by using kerosene
to start the kitchen fire.
Mr.. Larsen was alone when the
accident occurred. Not knowing
there were live Goals in the stove,
he threw coal oil on the kindling.
Almost Immediately there was
terrific explosion which wrecked
the stove and threw burning oil
over Larsen. Instead of trying to
extinguish the flame, he dashed
from the house, and ran a quarter
of mile to the home of a neigh
Dor, George Larsen. When he ar
rived there the clothes were almost
entirely burned from his body, and
he had received severe burns about
his head.
| He is improving and it is thought
| that he will recover nicely.

very great. Most of the furniture

WELCOME WERE ALL
AT THE K. OF ?. HALL
The Knights Turned Night
into a Round of Sun
shine, Friday Eve

One Of the largest social events
of the season took place at the
X. P. Hall Friday evening last
when the Knights entertained their
wives, sisters. sweethearts and the
Pythlan Sisters at a well-appointed
banquet in honor of the founding
sf the organization of the order.
About one hundred and fifty
guests were in attendance to par
ticipate in the festivities, and all
who we're fortunate enough to be
present declared the men royal en-
tertainers, and expressed the hope
that they would enjoy the priyi-
1ege of being their guests again in
She future.
The hall was fitted with card
tables, and cards furnished the
means of entertainment until the
program, which consisted of few
shoice numbers, took place. The
orchestra did itself proud by rem
-Aering lots Of good music through
cut the evening.
The lunch was served in grand
style by few handsome 2? young
walters who were aptly chosen for
the work, and the eats that they
had we couldn't begin to do jus
tice to.
After the supper, the toast
master, DR.. Oldaker, took charge
Of the ceremonies, and several OF
the members worked themselves
into the evenings entertainment
through their verbal propensities.
All did we'll with their respective
parts and brought out good lines
tof thought, with the exception Of
DR.. jacobsen who perhaps had
thoughts but failed to express
them. :,a
After, midnight the floor was
sleared for those who cared to trip
the light fantastic, and until the
roosters crowed the crowd indulged
in cards and dancing.

dumfounded, but right here we
want to say that they were entire
ly blameless.
The truck had been stored, fully
prepared for a fire. Ten gallons Of
gasoline had been put in the car,
and some kind friend had helped
himself to it and taken every drop
from the machine. The bulbs from
the lights were also missing, but,
otherwise, it was unmolested.
