George Pilaster, a farmer who has
been on the Howe ranch In Logan

French leave of numerous creditors
about a week ago, managing before
he left to embroil a number of said
debitors in replevin suits and raising
"lied ' generally. He had the habit
of trading and selling mortgaged

Another Stroke of Paralysis
The distressing news came to Mrs.

Annie Hinsdale, who is at Excelsior
Springs. Mo., suffered another stroke
of paralysis Monday morning. A con
sultation of physicians gave a verdict
that the chances were about even as
to her recov* ry. and at most three or
four days would determine. Certain
blood vessels in the brain broke and
her death or recovery rests with the
healing of tiiose vessels. From the
time of ahe stroke she lias been con
tinuously sleeping except at short
intervals, recognizes those about her
but has lost the power of speech.
Her children are all at her bedside.

woods. She is tired and sleepy and
and sits down to rest and falls
asleep and is found and taken care of
by the Brow nies and Fairies, but the
girls do not know this, and while
they are looking for Leda they dis
cover a shoe. left by the Brownies,
and thinking it is a Brownie's shoe
they feel sure that they are near. As
they continue their search the Fairy
Princess enters and will show you
the following people who dwell in
Fairyland—Billy Big-Eye, Tommy
Long-Wing, and Little Wee-Wees. A
little Brownie who enters and finds
Leda fast asleep, as does also the
Fairy Queen, leaves a letter from the
Brownies, which the girls find, and
while they are complying with the
terms and conditions laid down bv
the letter, the Brownies all appear
on the stage, bringing Leda with
them and tell the girls where they
found her. after which all characters
assemble for the closing chorus.

beautifying the schoolroom. A small
admission fee of 16c will be charged.
We publish the program next week.

Pleasant Social Affair
Tuesday evening when Earl Harper
came home for supper, he was com
pletely surprised to find the parlor
occupied by his classmates, teachers
and a few other friends. He was so
surprised, that it was some time
before he realized that he was not
“only dreamin’, but he was fully
w akened by the time the delicious
four-course dinner was served, for
we noticed that he, as well- as the
guests, did ample justice to the
repast. After dinner the evening
was spent In various amusements.
An impromptu program was given,
consisting of several musical selec
tions ana readings. The affair was
in honor of Earl’s sixteenth birthday,
and he received many presents, among
which was a beautiful signet ring
from his most intimate friend, Clark
Reynolds. Mrs. Harper is to be con
gratulated as a hostess, as the affair
was a complete success, aed we wish
Earl many more happy birthdays.
The affair was gotten up by Rev. and
Mrs. Harper, assisted by Mr. Clark
Reynolds._ _ _ %•
