everyone filled his own plate and
passed on to the long table under
the shady trees to enjoy his repast
At'ler dinner the crowd was treat
ed to a program arranged by Mrs.
S. V. Cashr.er in which several of
the little tots took part. The three
sisters and six of t lie brothers of
the Cook faniilv favored the audi
ence with three beautiful hymn
which were favorites of their father
and mother. The brothers and sis
ters were all present except Mrs.
Bina Kitzel and Philip Cook who
were unable to come.
The following was composed and
given as a reading by May Ilartman
Dreamer:
Famous Cooks of the World
I have such a good, "onerous husband
Who appreciates me all the time;
And for all the hard work I've done
for him
Yesterday he gave nie "just thiuk"
a dime.
Not wanting to spend it foolishly,
held very tight;
liut temptation was too great, I went
to the movie that night
Tho. crowds came from everywhere,
each fellow with his girl
For it was advertised "THE FAMOUS
COOKS OF THE WOULD."
I didn t get there any too soon; ere
long the curtain raised.
And all that appeared on the screen
deserves everlasting praise.
Defore my eyes, a scene so pictur
esque and still
A earn of oxen and covered wagon
was moving down the hill.
Father Joe and Mother Mary and
their children four
LSina. Jacob, Phil and George, were
glad their journey was o'er
They stopped close by the banks of
old Four Mile creek.
Ami a log cabin was then built iu
less than a week;
It had just one room with a loft
over head.
Where the boys would throw pillows
at liina when going to bed
Eittle Mother Mary was scarcely set
tled in her western home,
When her thoughts would very often
to old Ohio roam;
Dut she had no time for piuing, she
had much to d
For settlers began coming as the
country was then quite new.
The doors were opened wide to every
one chancing to pass that way;
There was room in the loft and on
the floor for all w ho cared to stay.
On awakening next morning, they
were greeted with her smile
And the corn bread she baked streng
thened them for many a mile.
The home was made cherry and very
.happy, I dare say; . .
For a smiling blue eyed Susan came
and made up her mind to stay.
Six years passed by between the
scenes, i

George chose for his bride a lady,
Abbie Cook by name;
To this union three happy children

Who always, as a little girl, loved

ing with his girls and boys
Bina, the oldest, helped her mother
in every single thing
She had to wash, iron, cook, rock the
cradle, and to the babies sing.
Jacob, the dignified, and eldest son
of the lot,
Had to be very precise, whether he
wanted to or not;
lie went to Nebraska City to learn
a thing or two
But he didn't like their eats, so came
back to mother's stew.
Phillip was quite a worry to dear
Bina's pious soul,
And often came up missing when his
name was called in school;
But with th.ese short comings he
was always very kind,
For he dearly loved his mother and
father all the time.
George was al' ivs the champion who
looked out for his sisters four;
They all went to spelling school and
had fun galore.
Blue eyed Susie with her winsome
ways and smile,
Was ever very happy and singing
all the while;
Her father had often said, "If I can
just recall
That she was the very fairest flow
er of them all."
There were Mollie. Lizxie and Lina,
who never had a hat;
So their father went to town one day
saying, "I'll not stand for that."
Little sister Lina went along, the
youngest of the three
Became the boss of the hat, but shar
ed it most cheerfully.
In the early days of learning the
children went each day.
To the little red school house just
a mile away.
While changing cf the scene, the or
chestra struck up a popular air;
Home Sweet, Sweet Home! How
happy they are there.
When the curtain rose again there
were ten years space between;
A new house had been built and
Mother Mary was the queen.
Four more boys are added to the
group as the pictures show
And now you gaze upon them, John,
Charley, Will and Joe.
And what those boys couldn't think
of. I'll tell you that
They did all kinds of stunts and
were regular acrobats.
They went with all the pretty girls
lor miles , and miles around.
Still time to play pranks on brother
Phil was always found;
The cow was in the cellar, the boiler
on tbe roof
Gun powder iu his pipe that made
it go ka-ploof.
Most times he took it good natured,
and seldom ever frowned;
ITe said, "You'll neVer fool me again,
you crazy little hounds."
Time rolls on. and on, as time will
always do,
1 lie 4)oys wont a courting and the
girls had beaus too.
Marriage is a lottery; sometimes we
get it in the neck
They took the one they loved,, with
out even having a eheck.
Monev mattered little in this time
of life,
Because they had each other and
were willing to face the strife.
Bina was a winsome lass, as every
one had found;
A handsome black-eyed man, George
Kitzel, came 'round
From Nebraska City and claimed her
as his own;
They went west some thirty miles
to build them a little home.
To this happy union six children
came wide awake and alert;
There was Minnie. Lula, Will, George
Oscar and little Bert.
When baby George just four years
old, left this old world of ours,
He left his little mother bowed down
in grief and sorrow.
She never forgot her little boy; he
. is her baby still;
Her husband she buriejl beside him,
there upon the hill.
How happy she will be when this
life's troubles are o'er,
And she will meet her dear ones on
the other shore.
Jacob found his mate, Mary John
son, he claimed
Always gave him love and kindness
while with him she remained;
But one pad day the angels came
and bore her away
Her sister came and helped care for
her boys, so they say.
She was so devoted to every little
tot,
That , Jacob soon found out he loved
her too, a lot."
So after much persuasion on Jacob's
active part,
Ke won this lovely lady, the queen
of his heart.
Eight fine boys she reared to' man
hood Which only a fond, kind, loving
mother could.
Joe, Andy, Ed, Jim, 'Harry, Fred,
George and Dan
They love her most devotedly,, as
only Just, true men can.
There was another boy, Sammy, I've
been told;
Who, when just a little boy, passed
into the heavenly fold.
Phillip went a-courting, as all boys
are apt to do;
She went fo her home in Heaven,'
where everything is bright.
She is not dead her memory still
lives in our hearts today; ;
Our darling, happy Susie, who al-
ways had kind words to say.
Now Mollie said to mother Mary, "To
make me happy be.
I'll follow the path of matrimony;" j
And so you'll soon see
She selected the nicest- little fellow j
as ever could be found;
To my mind he is as fine a man ds
ever walked around. j
I might as well tell you, his name
is Billy Wheeler. j
Pearl. Albert, Percy, Betty and Joe
were their children's names; ;
Billy walked ten thousand miles when
they were babes, he claimed."
But it made a man of him; he became
a politician great;
And Mollie loved her Billy, she feels
it is her fate.
Lizzie, dashing Lizzie, says, "I won't
be left out;
I'll have a man by sun down," just
watch what I'm about."
Walter Vallery was so charmed by
this handsome little miss,
That before any one knew it, he bad
planted a kiss
Upon her lips, and she became his
happy little bride;
And to this duy she is still by his
side.
Six children came. Frank, Dula, Glen,
Lela, the little pet,
Charley and Marjory, thr youngest
of the set.
Lina was the last giri left and to
herself she said,
"I'll not be an old maid!" And she
married young instead.
Olin Cole was her choice, and a
happy home she had.
The children came, two fine girls and
four sturdy lads;
Earl, Olive, Carl, Hoy, Sherman and
Opal the youngest of the six,
Formed a merry group when the par
ents and children mix.
John, the oldest of the four younger
set
Keep an eye on him and see what
he'll do next;
He ventured abroad in this great,
big wide world
First thing you knew he too had a
girl.
He chose the girl of his heart, her
name is Mollie Beines;
The whole family was so pleased,
for she was just fine.
Five children came to this happy
world,
Only one boy, and four little girls;
Marie, James, Luella, Gladys and
little Lorine
A liner group of children are scarce
ly ever seen.
Charley was a jolly lad; Of years he
was quite young,
When he went' a-courting, just for
a little fun.
But the first thing we knew, he was
head and heels in love
With the very best of girls; we all
loved Lillie Doud.
He led her to the alter, and she be
came his bride;
We congratulated Charles for he had
won the country pride.
Two little tots, Frank and Nell, came
with them to roam
When little Nell was but a babe, her
mother went to her heavenly
home. ,
Charley has a big heart and was
surely blessed.
For he won another queen, who la
bored and cared for the rest.
Her name is Minnie Dreamer, and I
tell you, she's no fake;
Although her name was Dreamer,
she is surely wide awake.
A little dark eyed baby came to them
one day;
Raymond said. "If you'll not object,
I think I'll stay."
Will, he had his jailing;' Of school
teachers he was most fond;
So he went to school many j-ears;
In the meantime he said, "I'll
look around!"
There was one who came to teach
at the little red brick
He fell so deeply in love, it nearly
made him sick.
Lenora Perry, a very pretty name,
I'll claim;
But Will said, "She's worth more
than all her pretty name;"
And to. his great surprise, she prom
ised to be his wife
He has never regretted it all the
rest of his life.
Orest, Wilma, Clarice and LeRoy
complete his happy home;
Where they are so contented, and
scarcely care to roam.
Joe, the joker, of this glorious, happy
crowd.
Said boys, "I'll tell you a joke if
you don't laugh too loud, ,
I'm going to get married; she
teaches piano for fun;
I'll tell you her name. It is little
Mabel Young."
Nita and Francis, a little girl and
boy,
Came to bless this home, much to
their parents' joy.
This coijjpletes the scene of the Cook
family and grandchildren too;
I'll not start in with the great
great grands, or I'll never get
