HALLONE' 'EN PARTY
 VAS HUGE SUCCESS

The Halloween Festival given by the Auxiliary of the Seward American Legion last nigth was a complete sue cess, both socially and financially, the large hall being packed and the re ceipts amounting to over two hun dred dollars. Evergreen, shaded candles. Japanese lanterns, chrysan- themums, with the two little Japanese ladies in their quaint costumes, gave a decidedly oriental effect, both bi- zarre and striking.
 Mrs. Harry Kawabe and Miss Yuka Yago served tea to the patrons. Mrs. Gordon Shea told fortunes from the tea leaves These tables were in a steady demand.
 The fish pond made big hit with the children. In spite of the great number of articles, the pond was sold out in less than an hour.
 The candy booth was a most attrac- tive place with it's homemade candies and popcorn, balloons and squawks, and everyone visited the cap booth, the large stock being soon sold out.
 The Swimming Match, Human Mon key and Ghost Writing were added at fractions.
 Much credit for the success of the affair goes to Mrs. Earl Reed and MT. H. L. Smith. Mrs. Reed, costumed as a gypsy and MT. Smith as a cowboy, played their guitars and passed the tambourine. They visited the various pool halls and card rooms, and receiv- ed a generous contribution at each place.
 Miss M. J. s. Rasmussen presided at one of the fortune telling booths, and promised good luck, money and travels to all who crossed her palm with silver.
 The dance began promptly at 10I o'clock, the hall being filled with an enthusiastic crowd. The music was excellent and the crowd peppy-the two ingredients necessary to make successful dance.
 MT. Ford, cornetist, contributed his services for the evening and added much to the success of the music.
 A little over s2OO was cleared by the Auxiliary.

would have to be done with snow shoes
and Mrs. Summers kept waiting each
day, thinking her husband would re-
turn and they could get word to tho
neighbor. Mrs. Summers rather ex.
pected her husband to return Monday,
March 26, so she prepared a lunch,
some hot coffee and sent Tim with n
note and some snow shoes down to the
top of the precipice. She decided if he
didn't come that day she could wait
no longer and must take the children
and 90 over the divide herself to
neighbor's for aid Accordingly she
wrote note told Mr.. Summers of
their loss, told him to eat the lunch
and cautioned him to put on the snow
shoes to make the trip to the house.
All day long the family kept watch
for signs of his coming and at last
saw him coming in the snow, and then
saw him disappear. The children went
to him on snow shoes and found that
he had become so distracted upon read
ing the note that he had failed to heed
his wife's precautions and came with
out the snowshoes and sank down in
the soft snow. Mrs. Summers men
toned to us that if it had been a day
later and they had left the house hef
husband would probably also have per
ished in the drifts.
The following morning (Tuesday)
Mr.. Summers started out three miles
over the divide to the nearest neigh
bors, the Howe family, and told the
sad news to them. Mrs. Howe sent her

IF

If you can keep your head when all about
you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men
doubt you
But make allowance for their doubling,
too;
If you can wait and not be tired by wait
ing,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too
wise.
If you can dream-and not make dreams
your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts
your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Dis
aster
And treat those two imposters just the
same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've
spoken
Twisted by knaves and made trap for
fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to,
broken;
And stoop and build 'em up with worn
out tools.
If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the common
touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you.
If all men count with you; but none too
much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's
in it.
And-what is more-you'll be Man, my
son

CHARITY

"If any little word of yours
May make life the brighter,
If any little song of yours
May make heart the lighter,
God help you speak the little word
And take your bit of singing
And drop it in some lonely vale
To set the echoes ringing.
If any little love of yours
May make life the sweeter,
If any little care of yours
May make friends the feeter
If any lift of yours may ease
The burden of another,
God give you love, and care, and strength,
To help your toiling brother"

A DOGS LIFE

"A dogs life, if l may recall,
Is not so dreadful after all;
For instance, there's the Pekinese,
That takes his nap on downy fleece,
And nibbles dainties, sweet and pure,
And gets bath and manicure,
And wears wrist watch and purse,
And keeps a valet and nurse.
And there's the saucy Airdale imp
That puts large and healthy crimp
In any rumors running rife
That his valet might be the dog's-life life !;
He gets three squares and sometimes four,
And romps twelve hours day or more !;
His only care is having fun
And yet he's not the only one.
For there's the small boys lop-eared pup
"A no-good scamp, from hind legs up;
That loves the things that small boys love,
And knows just what they're thinking of !;
And does a lot of jolly tricks.
And chases squirrels and cats and chicks ::
And sneaks up stairs with cautious tread,
And shares small boys board and bed.
And then the high-brow Boston Bull,
With all the pomp and social pull;
Beside the Spaniel and the Chow
say, dog-gone it, anyhow
When Pm upset and on the shelf,
I'd like to be dog myself,
And have an end to mortal strife,
And live the lucky dog's-life life.
