On January 9th the Ladies Aid Of
K Prairie entertained at Mrs. Morris
Alexanders with a "tacky" party,
Mrs. Nelson Stevens, Mrs. John
Cavett and Mrs. Morris Alexander had
gotten up some novel invitations in
rhyme which had been sent to
friends many Of whom responded with
their presence.
The whole week had been cold and
cloudy with a good deal Of rain.
All Aid members and several others
including several men were dressed
"tacky".
A program was rendered by the
Aid members each II responding to
roll call, with a song, recitation or
composition all of which were rich
and rare, all in keeping with the oc-
casion. One feature that added much
fun to the program was music, sing
ing, and reading, presented by the
"Musicium" Club of Center Point
composed of Miss Matte B. Hunter,
Miss Fronie Hurst, Miss jamie White
and Mr.. Howard Cole.
Games were played by young and
old alike. In a contest naming all eX-
presidents from Washington to the
present time, Mr.. Josh Cavett and Mr..
Minis Hunter tied, drawing for the
prize, a bubble blower, Mr.. Cavett
won.
Mrs. Allie Swami won the big red
stick of candy given for the tackiest
lady, Mr.. Tucker Hunter won the
ginger cake, the prize for the tack
lest man.
About 1890 refreshments furnish
ed by Aid members, consisting of
sandwiches, fruit salad cake, and
coffee was served to about one hun
bred and twenty-five people. The
party was a success in every way.
The ladies paid all expenses met their
pledge of $500 and had some left
to put in the treasury, Every n
seemed to have come with the spirit
of a good time.
This aid is not for any n denomi-
nation hut is for the interest of the
whole community which takes in many
doctrines and creeds, all working, for
one common interest that Of keeping
up the community in which we live.
We thank every one who braved
the weather to come out and help US
make this party a success.
We promise you another entertain
ment sometime so be ready. We thank

the sands Of the sea shore, in the
array Of wonderful books that are
waiting to be read, but a taste Of
these, ana the others will be sought
out, as far as possible because Of
the hunger for more that these have
given.
In poetry, Longfellow, Scott and
TenneySon, hold truths and beauties
that will be the delight of any girl,
and will inspire a love of poetry,
where none has before existed. Mil
sol should be on the reading list of
every reader of poetry, or of any
thing else for that, for a master piece
such as his Paradise Lost" for sim
plicity and grandure, was never nor
has eve since been produced. If
something else has to be neglected,
read "Paradice Lost.
To go into the list of all of the
books that the young people should
read would be a task impossible to
complete, hut when the mir1 has
been trained by the perusal of sever
al good books, to the taste Ger what
is high in literature, there will be no
difficulty about finding the desirable
Ey oneself. But while it IS impossi.
bic to name all hat should be read,
a few gems can be put forth and their
beauties revealed, among which are
three that seem the corner stones
of perfection in fiction, and no person
be he young or old should rest salts
fled until he has read these and then
read them again. They are Dickens

story of the French Revolution, that

any mere history; Thackery's vanity
Fair" with perhaps the finest por-
trayal of a certain class that has
ever been given, and that most Won

books of fiction that has even been
w~ritten-the worlds greatest master
piece of fiction, Victor Hugo's LES
Miserables'. If cast off with a choice
of but a limited number of books for
company for entertainment, compan-
ionship and instruction, one could do
no better than choose the Bible and
these three, for in them is found as
nearly as possible a complete educa-

THE SENATE-pAST AND
PRESENT

pkESENI
The death of Senator Penrose calls
attention to the changing character
OF the United States Senate, says the
Youths Companion. The change has
not been brought about by any DIFF
ference in the legal condition or the
Legislative responsibility Of that body.
1t may have been hastered by the
law that put the election Of Senators
into the hands Of the people instead
of the legislatures, but the cause Of
it goes deeper than that. 1t is a
change responsive to changing pollti-
cal views and methods all over the
country. The Senate of Quay and
Aldr,ch and Wanna ard Hale and
German and Stone was a very diff
terent Senate from that Of Clay and
Webster and Cass and Calhoun and
Benton, though it was elected in the
sam way. The change was owing
30 the Increased influence of indus
trial interests and Of the political
managers who We're often called
"bosses." The present change has lus
rise in the weakening Of strict party
discipline and in the growing Strength
Of other powers than the industrial
magnateS.
Mr.. Penrose was the last of the old
type of Senatorial leader. So long as
he had his health he vas able to as
sert a considerable authority over the
Senators Of his own party and to keep
complete control 0Ver the politics OF
his own State Of Pennsylvania. There
is no one left to succeed him either at
Washington or atshoWe. What course
events will take in Pennsylvania we
must wait to see; but III the Senate
it is probable that his death will only
hurry along the process Of disintegra-
ton that has already heen observed
among the Republican majority.
That does not mean that the Repub-
licans will ever act together, but it
does mean that they can no longer be
counted on 20 TO SO. Twenty years
=
ago the majority followed the lead Of
IT'S steering committee with Only oc-
casional lapes from regularity. To-
dav the members OF the Western or
progressive agricultural group are
rarely found voting WIN Vhe CONSTR

way between lhe Two l,'I' ft'oEh'"-
ing the authority OIL heIVherEo0eS Soi"e
times with n ana sometimes WIN
the other,
Such has been the change in the
attitude Of Americans towards politl-
cal parties that most Of Us welcome
the breakup Of the group Of "strorE
men who used to direct much as they
pleased the action Of their party as
sociates. There is more independence,

ONE GOOD RESOLUTION


There amt no use in kickin' friend
When things don't come your way:
You'll find No good in whimperin'
And grumblin' night and day
The thing to do is curb your grief,
And muffle up your whine,
And when they ask YOU how you are,
Just say Pm feeling fine"
Your heart may just be burstin'
With some real or fancied woe,
But that's no reason why you've got
To let the whole world know.
For folks just Taught At h~eartaches,
friend
Be they your W or mine,
SO when they ask you how YOU are
Just say Pm feelin' fine,"
Anon.

DOGS GIVEN VICTORIA CROSS
Three Have Been Awarded Highest
British Decoration for Bravery
in Face Of the Enemy.

The English in asking that the Vic
toria Cross be awarded to the cat
which SO herOically saved her young
during the fire of the Printemps only
follow an example given by the queen
Of England herself. To appreciate
the value Of this reward we must re-
member that the Victoria Cross is for
a soldier, general or private, the high
est military order.
In the last war at the utmost fifty
have been awarded. However, several
dogs belonging to the British army
have received this honor. These were ::
Bob, Of the Royal Berkshire, which in
the Afghanistan war saved the life of
several soldiers; Jack, which accom-
plished the same feats at the battle of
the Alma, and Jerry, hero Of the
Crimean war, which received from the
city of Dublin a medal and-a dinner.
The odds are that the mess made the
dog happier than the medal.-New
