We all have troubles, some real,
but mostly imaginary.
The real troubles do not give us the
worry the imaginary ones do, because
we are always afraid the imaginary
ones are coming, while the real ones
come, go, and are forgotten.

HOLD FIRST DISTRICT
MEETING AT ATKINSON
The first district meeting of the
grand lodge of the I. 0. O. F. in the
newly organized district comprising
the several lodges of this county was
held at Atkinson, Nebraska, Tuesday.
The program began at ten o’clock
in the morning with a special session
of the grand lodge at which time the
past grand and grand lodge degrees
were conferred, and a school of in
struction was held.
During the afternoon and evening
the several degrees of the order were
conferred by the different towns in
the county in competition for a prize
banner which was won by the Dustin
degree staff by a small margin over
the O’Neill staff. Page was a close
third while Chambers cfccupied the
fourth position.
The judges were Grand Secretary
E. S. Davis, of North Platte; G. W.
Locke, of Laurel, who is a grand officer
of the Encampment, and John Ballon,
of Atkinson.
The next annual meeting will be
held at Page some time the latter part
of October or early in November of
next year, at which time Chambers
will confer the initiatory degree;
O’Neill, the first degree; Atkinson,
the second degree; Dustin the third
degree. The degree team will again
compete for the banner won by Dustin

it three consecutive times.

WOMAN’S CLUB ACTIVITIES.
Evening Program Given By Members
of the Literary and Music
Departments.
The program given by the Literary
and Music Departments on Wednes
day evening, November 19th, was a
great pleasure as well as quite a sur
prise to the other members of the
Woman’s Club and their friends who
composed the audience. The program
opened with an oid fashioned Ga
votte danced by Misses Helen Reardon
and Grace ^Quilty, Masters James
Brown and James Harty. These stnall
people danced with as much grace and
self possession as if they had been
trained to the stage, which is saying
a great deal. The fact that this dance
had been given once before in the
Music Department program detracted
in no way from its beauty and in
terest.
The other numbers on the program
were as follows, and each number was
rendered in a perfect manner, and
greatly appreciated by the listeners.
Vocal Solo—(a) Reveries, Oly Speaks
(b) Night Comes and the Day is
Gone . Holmes
Musical Reading—An Old Fashioned
Garden—Mildred Timlin. Miss
Welch at the piano.
One Act Play—When Shakespeare
Struck the Town:
Characters:
The May Queen—Mrs. J. P. Gilligan.
Romeo—Mrs. J. A. Brown.
Juliet—Mrs. W. J. Biglin.
The Two Lady Macbeth’s—Mrs. Sua
ers and Mrs. Haffner.
Martha, The Stage-struck Maid—Miss
Mildred Malone.
Queen of the Fairies—Miss Alice
Trihy.
The Critical Old Aunt—Mrs. F. J.
Dishner.
Outline of the Play:
In a certain town in the midwest,
The Woman’s Club decides to offer a
prize for the betet dramatic production,
in order to promote interest in Dra
matic English.
One family, including mother and
five daughters, decide to try for the
prize, and the play itself is a rehersal
which takes place in their home. Mrs.
Gilligan as the mother, recited Ten
nyson’s May Queen, in an inimitable
manner, despite the criticisms of th*
cynical old aunt (Mrs. Dishner). The
scene between Romeo and Juliet
(Mesdames Brown and Biglin) was a
fine piece of acting, in spite of the
perilous position of Juliet on the top
of a step-ladder.
Miss Alice Trihy as Fairy Queen,
was as light, airy and graceful as any
faix-y queen could possibly be, and
Martha the maid spouted Shakespear
as well as many other authors on all
occasions.
Mrs. Halfner and Mrs. Sauers, the
two daughters, who both insisted on
taking the character of Lady Macbeth,
brought down the house.
The play was a burlesque, but it
was plain to be seen that these ladies
would be perfectly competent to put
on a much heavier production if it
were necessary. The play was directed
by Mrs. Dishner, while Mrs. Reardon
had charge of the musical program.
IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE

urer.
Another meeting will be held soon
