DANISH LUTHERAN NOTES.

Again the pastor had surprise
of his life! Somehow it had leaked
out that he was born in the month
of big men, and on lucky date
oo,-two, two. Our Extra young
people grabbed pound each, and
came down like an autumn shower
on that Indian summer eve and
took the house and hearts of the
pastor and his little wife by sur
prise. Several other guests were
present and a delightful evening
was spent together. We can hard
ly wait for the next birthday.
However, thanks to you, dear
young friends, you are very well
come, each and all of you! Our
next Y. P. meeting will be at
H. P. Petersen's residence Thurs
day evening, November Sd.
The biggest festivity Of the week,
however, was the silver wedding
anniversary Of Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
tin Jessen out west of town. AL
though it was not a general affair,
the large circle of relatives filled
the large residence to it's full cap
acity. A delicious six o'clock din
ner was served, and, circled about
this happy silver-groom and his
good wife and FIVE children we en-
joyed an evening we will long re-.
member. May our God give you
his blessings to continue your
happy wedlock for years to come!
Last Thursday, Rev. Jensen of
fciated at the funeral service over
the remains of Mr.. Peter Hassen-
feldt at his residence in this city.
We lament deeply that the life of
this prosperous young country
man should cease so sadly. We
are all subject to temptation and
travail. Let us watch and pray,
that we enter not into temptation;
the spirit indeed is willing, but the
Aash is weak Math 26.41

CHRISTIAN CHURCH

UtltllUIlnu UlIUllUlI
The morning services at the
Christian church next Sunday will
be in charge of the official board
and the evening service will be in
charge Of the Christian Endeavor
society. =
We had a great Endeavor meet
ing on last Sunday evening with
about forty-fve present and a
splendid interest. Theresa Akers
was the leader and she acquitted
herself we'll. From what l hear
others have done equally as we'll
but my absence from town on
Sunday almost ever since the En-
deavor was started has prevented
my being present to hear them.
Gregory Rains was elected pres
ident of the Endeavor and Theresa
Akers vice president.
The Aid Society will meet with
Mrs. George Corl on Thursday
afternoon.
Our Rally Day service and bas-
ket dinner was a decided success.
Our aim for the day in attendance
was two hundred and fifty. We
did not quite reach our aim but we
were not at all discouraged with
the goodly number of two hundred
and forty-four present at the Sun
day School hour, only six behind
the goal set.
The mid-week meeting was we'll
attended last Wednesday night and
much interest was manifested in
the message of the little book en-
titled "How Christian Unity
Came to Alpha" You are ear
nestly invited to hear the message
of this little booz through to the
end. There are rocks along the
pathway to christian unity which
are sometimes overlooked by good
people in their earnest endeavor
to accomplish a worthy end. Be-
fore this end can be reached these
rocks must be removed. This
little book is an earnest endeavor
to uncover some of cheese rocks in q
way that they may be seen clearly
and removed before they wreck the
worthy aims Of Cody people as
they so oftimes do. Every person
interested in this subject should
give this book a hearing. A chap
ter or two Of it is being read each
Wednesday night.
On MONDAY evening at hall alter
eight,
Don your ghostly attire and call
at our gate;
And when the whistle a witch
doth blow,
And the light in the window is
dim and low,
March bravely up the cement
walk
And shake the hand of the ghost
that doth stalk
Just inside of the open, door,
Leading to spooks and pranks
galore.

SILVER WEDDING ANN|-
VERSARY OBSERVED
Respected Townspeople Gel
citrate Anniversary in Fine
Style. Many Attend.

~ ~ AvASsAAy AA0OSAs~~s
Mr.. and Mrs. Hans P. Hansen
observed their twenty-ffth we'd
ding anniversary last Friday.
About one hundred and twenty
five guests enjoyed their hospi-
tality. They kept open house and
programs were arranged for both
afternoon and evening.
"A large number called during
the afternoon and were highly en-
tertained. Mesdames DR.. Ham
mer and Lou Moore, of Atlantic,
sang 'tSilver Threads Among the
Gold;;" Mrs. Roxie Clark, of At
lantic, and Mrs. DR.. Riley, Of our
city, each gave reading, after
which a mock wedding took place
in which the host, as Reuben Hos
kins, took unto himself wife,
Cynthia Perkins, which part was
acted by Mrs. Hansen. To the
tune Of schottische, played by
Mrs. Taylor, of Atlantic, the
bridal party marched to the altar
upon pathway strewn with
4histles and cabbage leaves. Be-
fore the ceremony was performed
a policeman was called to search
the contracting parties for con-
cealed weapons. The search re-
vealed some startling facts, the
bride had in her possession a roll
ing pin and the groom was armed
with a boot-jack. This brought
about an investigation. which brot
out the fact that this was the Sec
ond attempt of both the bride and
groom at marriage. Notwith-
standing that fact, however, they
were allowed to proceed with the
wedding. The ring ceremony was
used and made very effective by
usinga doughnut from which the
bride and groom each took bite.
The bridesmaid caused lots Of ex-
eitement whiles the wedding was
in progress, but no wonder! for
it was brought to light that she
had already laid away and mislaid
seventeen husbands of her own.
Her emotions became SO, great
that, in order to keep her subdued,
they were forced sto give her air
continually and this they did by
the constant use of tire pump.
After time, however, even this
procedure failed to bring her re-
lief and she tainted and had to
be hauled out on a wheelbarrow.
This act, in itself, afforded much
amusement for the crowd, and was
carried out to perfection both af-
ternoon aud evening. A delicious
lunch was served in cafeteria style
to all who were fortunate enough
to attend.
The house was decorated in au-
tumn leaves and white cut flowers
to carry out the color scheme Of
the luncheon.
Among the out of town guests
present Mr.. and Mrs. N. P. Chris
tensen, Mrs. DR.. Hammer, Mrs.
Moore and Mrs. Clark, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. O. Howard and family, all
of Atlantic; and Mrs. Mike Flynn
and son, of Guthrie Center.
The guests presented Mr.. and
Mrs. Hansen with many lovely
gifts which they prize very highly.

Home Town Paper Week. Du-
ring that week every family in the
county who does not take an Au-
dubon county paper should sub
scribe for one.
Audubon county is fortunate in
having four good newspapers and
every family should read one or
more of them. We can not keep
in touch with what is going on
around us unless we read our home

zens for knowing what our neigh
bors are doing.
So we appeal to all who do not
take county paper to subscribe
during the Home Town Paper
Week, November 9TH to 18th.
Subscribe to all if you can but for
goodness sake subscribe to one.
If this is impossible-borrow. But
read the news-get in tune with
your neighbors and Audubon
county.
For these six days only, Nov
ember 7th to 18th, inclusive, we
will offer the good old Audubon
County Journal for Sl.O0 per year,
new or renewal. There is one
provision we must make, however,
and that is that in case you are
an old subscriber you must pay up
all arrearges and one year in ad-
vance. Outside the state, we will
make a pric of S1.50 for all paid
up and.a year in advance SUBJ
scriptions which we receive during
these six days, Our regular price
outside the state is $500. Re
member, this offer is good for these
ISIX DAYS ONLY.

Martin Jessen and Wife
Celebrate Anniversary

Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Jessen,
who reside near Extra, celebrated
their silver wedding anniversary
at their home last Friday, October
2lst. One hundred and fifty in
vitations were issued and nearly
as many guests were present to
enjoy the gaiety the affair afforded
throughout the afternoon and
evening.
A sumptuous six o'clock dinner
was served to which all did ample
justice. A special feature of the
evenings program was the rendi-
tion by a choir of a Danish song
which had been composed by Rev.
Jensen and which was very appro-
pirate for the occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jessen are the par
ents of five children, Mrs. Elvin
Petersen; Peter, who is employed
at the Christensen & Stone garage;
Andrew and Elmer, at home; and
Miss Martha, who is nursing at
the Congregational hospital in Des

curve. 1t is the application of the
break of reverse English. If you
are clever you can make a billiard
ball do stunts of that character on
the billiard table. There is no up
curve and the nearest that any pitch
er ever came to one was Billy Rhines
Of Cincinnati. Not long ago a
learned dissertation was written on
Rhine's pitching by ono who never
saw him pitch. but little thing
like that doesn't matter between
friends.
Mays excels because he curves the
ball outside to right hand batters
and at the same time makes 1t break
down like a drop ball. He is not the
only pitcher who can do that, but
he is one Of the few pitchers who
can do it with speed.
Real Pitching.
A. G. Spalding used to pitch the
ball and put speed on 1t. He didn't
throw it. He has the best record of
any pitcher in the history of base
ball and he served the ball to the
batter exactly as you might start a
ball up a bowling alley. All the
pitchers In his day had to deliver
the ball in that manner.
Some old fellows who are about
sixty now can remember when they
had to pitch like that and they were
good pitchers. too. 1t would surprise
some of these naughty latter-day
ball players who become tragedians
and all that sort of thing, II they
got out on the ball field and tried
to bat against some Of those old boys.
They would find that a little thing
like serving the ball underhand with
a straight arm delivery, just as IL
you were throwing knots from the
top Of the woodpile, would stand
them first on one foot and then on
the other trying to hit safely.

few surprises in the way of personnel
are not without the realm Of POSSIBLE
ity, II seems to be pretty generally
agreed that the team that will start
the game will be the same team that
overwhelmed Dartmouth and has. in
fact, started in practically every game
Of the schedule.
The probable lineup: Charles e.
Cassidy, left end; Leonard c. Hanson.
left tackle; George /. Brayman, left
guard; Charles l.. Brayton, center;
Reno v. Jones, right guard: Capt.
Wilson Dodge. right tackle; David A.
Munns. right end; George r. Pfann.
quarterback; Edgar l.. Kaw, left half
back; Floyd d. Ramsey, right half
back; George p. Lechler. fullback.
Coach Dobie, however, has spent
good deal Of time on a second string
Of backs this week, and 1t is assumed
that some of them--fresh, strong and
eager-will be sent into the game at
the proper time. They include Gould,
Post and Carey, halfbacks, and Olney
and Calleson, fullbacks. Plenty OF
end and line substitutes will be taken
along, the Dobie theory of coaching
being to develop two men at least for
every position.
The sale of seats indicates that Cor
nell will have the largest delegation
in her history at the game. Alumni
by the thousand have applied for seats
and hundreds Of undergraduates have
applied for seats and hundreds OF
will make the trip to
Philadelphia.
