There was a chicken supper j given on yesterday evening at! the sand hills by the young men of the town in honor of the visiting young ladies and the young ladies who soon leave town for college and to teach school. The wagons left town at about 9 o'clock and carried quite a crowd ot the j-oung folks. The sand hills never looked grander than last night in the light of the beautiful full moon, ? " - JI +v,? ana 11 is neeaiess to say mat mc young people enjoyed to the fullest extent this opportunity of playing and talking, while the trees around gave vent to their feelings in gentle sighs. The supper was bounteous; everyone had a keen appetite whetted by the ride out there and the lateness of the hour, therefore no one felt backward about eating heartily. The following young people enjoyed the evening: Misses Lila Hammet, Margaret Ross, Jimmie Britton, Mary and ? * * ?-s? rv^n ] n - ~ ~ ^ Marina uoruun, ucn auu v-i u.\_c Van Keuren, Annie Jenkins, Ella Brady, Bessie, Eunice Mabel and Fioride Harper, Viola Chandler; Messrs Benton Montgomery,J D (?illand,T B Thomas, Louis Stackley, Marvin McDonnell, L D Rogers, J Lin wood Gamble, J Wesley Cook, W Martin Tobias, J B Alsbrook, Bishop Burgess, Mac Hawkins.

The musicale given on Monday evening at the high school auditorium for the benefit of the Baptist church was a decided success both financially and from an artistic standpoint. The singing was especially enjoyed. "Reveries of a Bachelor," in which Dr W L Taylor took the part of the bachelor, Miss Lorena Ross reading and Miss Harper playinn softlv on the piano, was ?o / *. very beautifully carried out. After the performance ice cream, cake and candy were served on the grounds. The young ladies who promoted the affair are to be congratulated on their success.

A Lovely Monotony cf Golden Light | and of Delicious Air. , ,, . , I Some people tiuk oi t he "same- , ticks'' of the Nile, anil there is a lovely sameness of golden light, of j delicious air. of people ami of ?i (ii- ' | try, for Egypt is after all mainly a I great river with strips on each sidi of cultivated land, flat, green, not very varied. Kiver. green plains, ; yellow plains, pink, brown, steel j gray or pale yellow mountains, wail of shadoof, wail of sakieh. Yes, I suppose there is a sameness, a sort of golden monotony, in this land pervaded with light and pervaded with sound. Always there is light around you, and you are bathing in it, and nearly always, if you are living, as I was, on the water, there is a multitude of mingling sounds floating, floating to your ears. As there are two lines of green land, two lines of mountains, following the course of the Nile, so are there two lines of voices that cease their calling and their singing only as you draw near to Nubia. For then, with the green land, they fade away, these miles upon miles of calling and singing brown men, and amber and ruddy sands creep downward to the Nile. And the air seems subtly changing, and the light perhaps growing a little j _ U X A. w w [ harder. And you are aware of othi er regions unlike those you are leaving, more African, more savage, less suave, less like a dreaming. And especially the silence makes a great impression on you. But before you enter this silence, between the amber and ruddy walls that will lead you on to Xubia and to the land of the crocodile, you have a visit to pay, for here, high up on a terrace, looking over a great bend of the river, is Kom Ombos, and Kom Ombos is the temple of the crocodile god.?Robert Hichens in Century. Working Thoir Way. Two young college men were industriously spending their summer vacation in the testing room of a large electric manufacturing works, I a ? "? 1 where they were aoie to supplement their studies at the technical school by practical application and experience. The July afternoons were long and the work at times very slack, so in one of these intervals of half idleness the young men determined to turn to and give the laboratory in which they worked a thorough cleaning. It was at this juncture that the janitor happened along?an old retainer whose years of usefulness had long sinee passed, but who still made a feeble, shiftless pretense of keeping busy and was indulgently carried along on the payroll of the company. Catching sight of the young men industriously scouring the grimy windows?work which the old fellow himself systematically avoided doing whenever he could?he stopped to watch them approvingly. "That's right, boys," he exclaimed at length, nodding his head encouragingly. "That's the way I got my start." ? Harper's Weekly. You Lose Weight During the Night.

Dr. Jenner, the famous English physician, was a great tea drinker and very abstemious, never taking any stimulant except a measured crlncs of hrnndv when he had indi gestion. Once for that cause he lived on stewed chops and rice for luncheon and dinner, with tea, for a couple of vears, but ordinarily he was a great feeder. "I recollect/' said his friend, Dr. Cooper Beatham, "on one occasion Reynolds came to see him. * Jenner was at dinner. He had soup, fish, j the greater part of a chicken, and , he was in the middle of a huge rice ! pudding when Reynolds entered and ! asked him how he was. Jenner j drew a pitiful sigh and replied, 'I i am not at all well?no appetite.'" Exasperating. From the dark kitchen there emanated a series of thumps and angry exclamations. Jones was looking for the cat. "Pa!" called the son from the stairway. "Go to bed and let me alone!" blurted Jones. "I've just barked my shins." "Pa!" insisted Tommy after a moment's silence. "Well, what is it? Didn't I tell you to keep quiet ?" "I?I aidn't hear your shins bark." And the next moment Tommy was being pursued by an angry sire with a hard hairbrush. ? Chicago News.
