in their natural guise that ot
charming young ladies. Quite a

unmasing by the discovery that two
boys, Clarence Dillard and Guy
Robinson, had also crept in 111
ghostly apparel and had been dis
guising their voices leading every
one to think they were of the gentler
sex. The ghosts proved to be very

disposing of the dainty lunch which
had been prepared for their delecta
tion and demonstrated that even
ghosts enjoy the good things of this
life. Those who were numbered

ODD FELLOWS CLOCK. Ei B. AVARNER.
A Hallow E'on Party.
The Keliher home on east Third
street was the scene, Tuesda3
evening, of one of the jollicst Hal
low E'en parties which has evct
been held in North Platte, Miss
Hannah Keliher being the hostess.
As the guests entered the house tin
vision which met their delighted
eyes made them think that they
had been transported bodily into
some enchanted country. Streamers
of cheese cloth of all the colors of
the rainbow were festooned around
the rooms and jack-lanterns added
a weird touch to the 6ccnc. The
merrymakers soon discovered the
purpose of the streamers as each
one was asked to take a streamer's
end and wind it up until the other
end was found. As an incentive to
rapid work they were told that two
of the streamers had the porverbial
pot of gold" concealed at their
ends. Miss Mae Walker succeeded
n finding one "pot of gold" which
proved to be a very dainty paper
knife. Gus Chamberlain was re
warded for his labors with an ice
man's pin. During the evening for
tunes were told and the fates re
vealed the fact that Mr. Frank Mc-
Call is destined to remain a bach
elor and Miss Nellie Austin, an old
maid, until the end of their days.
Three red ears of corn suspended
in the archway answered the same
purpose as a mistletoe and a num
ber of fair maidens were made to
pay the penalty of standing under
neath them. Shortly before mid
night a very delicious lunch was
served. About fifty pouug people
enjoyed Miss Kelilicr's hospitality
and they are all of the opinion that
she is a decided success in the role of
hostess.
