Society Notes.
Mrs. J. J. Halligan la entertaining
the bridgewhist club this afternoon.
The Indoor Picnic club will meet at
the homo of Mi9s Nell Hnrtman Tues
day evening.
Mr, and Mrs. M. II. Douglas will en
tertain n party of friends at cards at
their home this evening.
Tho D. of II. social club will meet at
the home of Mrs. Frank Martin, in the
Third ward, next Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Thomas Hcaly assisted by Mrs.
Chas. Whelan, Mrs. Jas. Hart and
Mrs. Geo. B. Dent pleasantly enter
tained tho Indian Card Club at the home
of the former Wednesday. Tho fork
was won by Mrs. E. F. Seebergcr and
the consolation awarded to Mrs. Dent.
Mro. W. M. Cunningham wns tho
rcccpicnt of a pleasant surprise last
evening where tho members of tho
Indoor Picnic Club invaded her homo
without previous warning. Tho oven
ing was spent in playing various games,
charades being tho particular amusing
feature. At the close a delicious lunch
was served in the usual picnic style.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Vernon entertained
a dozen or more friends at high five
last evening and a very delightful time
resulted. Among the guests was Claude
Delaney, who is not much of a card
player and his poor success in times
past -has mado him tho butt of consider
able ridicule. Learning that George
Austin always won when he carried a
a rabbit's foot in his vest pocket, Mr.
Delaney secured one, but unfortunately
it proved a hoodoo instead of a mascot.
It now transpires that Dolaney's foot
was from tho right front leg of tho
animal instead of tho left hind leg, and
that also tho rabbit had been Killed on
tho open prairie during the day instead
of in a Graveyard at midnight.
A Statement
After many trials and great labor
tho boys' band has finally conquered and
wo arc a fixture. No town in tho stato
can boast of a boys' school band except
North Platte. Wo have our own band
room, meet regular and it costs the
band at least $15 per month to meet
our rent, fuel and lights. Tho band
needs new music and wo aro in hopes
that we can raise money to supply tho
same. I know not how citizens and j
parents may feel, but I am proud of
tho boys' band and should the citizens
feel the samo let them purchase tickets
and attend the opera houso show, this,
Friday, evening. Dr. Miller has ,kindly
given the band this benefit. Any boys
wishing to join the band can do so, as
we aro anxious to increase the number.
Any contributions gladly received.

The Ungrateful Cuckoo.
To hear tho cuckoo's cheery note you
might tlilnlc bo had the clearest con
sclcnco In tho world. IIo can uavo nel
tber memory nor moral senso or ho
would not carry it off so gayly. Wo
say nothing of the "rnptores," who arc
a race apart, but the most dlsrcputablo
of birds, as n rule, aro guilty of noth
lng worso tliau peccadillos. Tho Jack
daw will Steal for tho mero fun of tho
thing, for ho cnu make no posslblo uso
of plato or Jewelry, and sometimes un
dcr temptation may make a snatch ut
a pheasant chick. Sparrows aro, of
course, notorious thlovcs, but they rank
no higher In crime than the sneaking
pickpockets. But tho cuckoo, so to
speak, Is n murderer from his cradle,
IIo violates tho sanctity of a hospitable
hearth. Ills first victims aro his own
foster brothors, and beforo ho tries his
wings on the first flight ho Is Imbrued
In fraternal blood, llko any Amurath

A woman's pleasure in using this perfect
range,, quite equals her pride in serving
the family and guests with the delicious
food it prepares. Why not make this
a Genuine Thanksgiving in your home? What ever your cooking
arrangements may be, you can improve them-r-and you ought to do
it. It's not as though it were an extravagance to buy t the "best
range possible" as a matter of fact you can't afford to use anything
else! The Monarch actually does its work with so little fuel that it
soon Pays Back Its Cost in Real Money.
The things that the Man With
a Monarch Range in His
Kitchen Hast" be Thankful for.
Some Features of the Monarch
Range that makes the Woman
Who Uses One Truly Thankful.
It Pleases His Wife Thoroughly.
A woman who uaos n Monarch Rango is moro than
merely satisfied. She is pleased enthusiastic about it.
Sho appreciates that sho has n range far superior in
ovory respect to tho so-called "Steel Ranges" that her
friends aro using.
It Cooks His Meals Promptly and Perfectly.
"tho oven wouldn't
usually blamed on
No unexpected delay becauso
heat." No spoiled meals that nro
tho cook when tho range is really nt fault.
Uses so Little Fuel It Pays for Itself.
Hero's tho important thing. This makes tho Monarch
tho range for poor and rich nliko. It saves its own cost
in a short timo and continues to savo, year after year.
It's an investment that yiolds big returns regularly,
long after the principal has been paid back.
Thi Pnliahprl Ton.
Novor requires any stove blackening yet is always in
perfect condition clean and shiny.

' stovo blacking or paint. Most lasting material known
for rango bodies.
The Duplex Draft.
A devico found on the Monarch alono which does away
with Biftlng ashes and keeps the oven uniformly heated.
An Air-Tight Oven.
With potent non-wurping bottom. Seams can novor open
up to admit drafts, ashes and dust as in a so-called
"Steel Rango." Assures Perfect baking which can bo
dono only in nn nir-tight oven.

A convenient Btorago compartment underneath tho
oven. With tho door open it heats the kitchen like a
