lightful surprise party in honor of

cessful term of school within anoth
er week so Miss Cook was invittd
to the Lohnes home but was not
aware of the merry old time that
was in store for her.
For the occasion the rooms weve
made very attractive by the general
use of spring flowers, intermingled
with flag decorations.
. At an early hour the young peo
ple gathered at the Lohnes home aid
to be sure Miss Cook was taken by
great surprise.
Various amusements had been
planned for the occasion and the one
that took up the greater portion of
the evening was in playing games of
all kinds out on the pretty lawn
lighted up with lanterns and soon
was the merry laughter of voices
ringing in the evening breeze.
A few moments were then devoted
to a very pleasant social time and
the pleasing music that was given
by Harry Lohnes on the piano add
ed very much to the enjoyment of
the evening.
At a late hour the jolly crov.d
wended their way homeward, sorry
to lose Miss Cook from their midst,
but wish her much success in her
school work.
Misses Ella and Elsie were very
much indebted by the ones fortunate
enough to be present for their kind
hospitality and splendid evening af
forded them and declared the vourg
ladies excellent entertainers. Those
present were: Mises Mae and Glenna

Who is Still Hearty.
Mrs. Elizabeth Catherine Wiles,

is a native of Missouri and has been
in this country for more than sixty
years. Her children and children's
children to the fourth generation
were with her at her home today
and helped to celebrate the occa
sion. At the time when she came
to this country the means of trans
portation were very limited, and
for many years when people gather
?d for any purpose they either rode
iack and forth in a lumber wagon
r walked. Now all have their cars
and travel in the greatest of ease.
Many tokens of remembrance were
presented to Mrs. Wiles by the rela
tives each one bespeaking of vene
ration, love and honor for this good
woman, who was the mother of ten
sons, seven of whom are now living,
and four daughters, all living. The

since and Thomas, Isaac, John, Jo

Spangler and Miss Isabelle Wiles.
Today on the lawn at the home
the children, grand children and the
great grand children gathered to
gether to celebrate the occasion of
the birthday of Mrs. Wiles, and a
jolly crowd they were indeed. This
time they came in 'automobiles, an
undreamed of thing when Mrs. Wiles
was a girl, a wife and a mother, and
brought with them an abundance of
such things as would pass the in
spection of Herbert Hoover. A most
delightful time was spent together
and in departing the crowd of Ne
braska Americans wished this hardy
pioneer many happy returns of the
day, which she graciously acknow
ledged and returned the good wishes
to all.
