The happiest social event that East Lincoln ever participated in occured at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mowan, 3227 Fair street, Monday night. It was the golden wedding of this happy old couple. Mr. Mowan was an old Eoldier and is an active member of the G. A. R.; he is a member of the Masonic fraternity and 'the Salem Evangelical church. Their friends about one hundred were present, but their home is especially ad apted for the gathering of a large num ber, and the guests had a delightful time never to be forgotten. The feast was princely for this wedding occasion, and a jollier crowd never gathered in East Lincoln. J. S. Gabel was toast master. Music and witticism, eloqnence and fun, feasting and congratulation was the order of the evening. Rev. J. G. Schwab was spokesman for the soldiers and citizens, and P.O. Richards on be half of the Masonic fraternity. Their remarks were heartily cheered and thoroughly enjoyed, after which Mr. Gabel delivered the presents to Annie Darnall and Stanley Gabel who presented them to Mr. and Mrs. Mowan. Thomas Darnall had learned the place of marriage and something concerning their hv.s and read the following poem: And we now feel that we have found our rating place at Iaat la our little Evangelical church we've found a pleasant home And so we said, if it pleases God, well never from it roam Until at last we're called to go and walk the streets of gold, And then we'll find a better home and never more grow old. Fifty years have passed and gone, it was in 1848. way back in Portage county in old Ohio state. We don't forget the time and place; though many years were spent It was back in old Ohio in the little town of Kent. It was then in life we started with courage brave and bold But fifty years lure passed away and we are growing old. It is with joy we still recall the pleasant days we spent Our wedding day and honeymoon in the little town of Kent; But fife has cares as well as charms for those who make the race And we have wandered up and down and moved from place to place. We left Otto, to our friends the good bye word we told But that was fifty years ago and we are growing old. But in every place in every state we ne'er yet found a spot But what we found the kindest friends where e'er we cast our lot. We moved to Pennsylvania where fife had many a charm And then We moved to Michigan and lived upon a farm; And then again we made a change and so the farm was sold But that was years and years ago and we are growing old. Then the cruel war came on from sixty to sixty-five When a million men for their country, gave up their home and fife. Yes, now we well remember It was ."ird to say good bye, But rather than lose our country we said we'd rather die. The tears, the trials, the hardships, we leave them all untold, It seems so many years ago, and we are growing old. But when the storm of war had passed, four million souls made free, We left our home and friends again and went to Tennessee; Six pleasant years in the sunny south and then r? north to stay And found a pleasant home again in northern Iowa. Then in Ohio five years we lived but if like the stone that rolled We grew no moss, life had its joys, while we were growing old. Since to Nebraska we have moved ten years and more have passed And to our brethren on the square we want a parting word, We want to meet you all up there where no farewell k heard. The fifty years that we have passed our hearts have been made glad, So many pleasant meetings'with the brethren we have had. So when on earth we say good bye and our lips are pale and cold, We hope to meet you all up there, where well nevermore grow old. The presents were beautiful and cost ly.

Contagious. It was on a crowded suburban car out of Washington, one day last summer, that a middle aged woman, carrying a fretful baby, was forced to squeeze her seirinto a small space left vacant beside a dapper youth of possibly twenty years. His countenance had all the expression of his immaculate white suit, except for a look of disgust which he assumed as the baby, in its restlessness, would touch him with foot or hand. Finally he turn ed toward the woman, and inquired, in a tone quite audible to those near him, "Ah, beg pawdon, madam, but has this child anything ah contagious?" The nurse was a motherly-looking wo man. Glancing compassionately at him through her gold-rimmed spectacles, she remarked, meditatively. "Well, now, I don't know, young man; but ah it might be to you. She's teething!" After this, for the few moments before he left the car, the yoang man's face was a study in expression.

X '" f hour on the "Water Problem of Nebras" ka." The room was darkened by opaque curtains and the lecturer threw the il lustrations of the effects of the action of water as shown in caves, geysers, cata racts and canons upon a screen. These were rapidly followed by slides showing methods of irrigation in Europe and Ne braska, maps showing the character of the soil in eastern, south eastern, north ern and western Nebraska, charts show ing the supply of surface water in the state, and others showing the artesian districts. She then showed slides of some original windmills invented and in use by Nebraska farmers and the arti ficial reservoirs in the state. Mrs. Bar bour's exposition was without notes and extremely clear and interesting. In the way of university extension the wives of members of the faculty are laying this community under many obligations. The Friends in Council of Tecumseh met March 23 with Mrs Edith Chamber lain. The topic for the day was Kinder garten, its origin and progress in America. Each member responded to roll call by quotations from prominent kindergarten workers. After the regular business was dispos ed of, Mrs. Brundage gave an interesting historical sketch of the origin of kinder gartensintheU. S., the work done in Ohio by Miss Frankenberg, how Froe bel's theories were communicated to her and the value of the system. Mrs. Chamberlain gave a sketch of the life of Mre. Edward Everett Hale and how she aided in spreading the kinder garten work in America. Mrs. Tracy then told the work of Elisebeth Palmer Peabody; how she first became interested in Froebel's plans, and how she aided in filling America The child study department of the Lincoln Woman's club devoted the ses sion or Saturday to the study of the diseases of children. Dr. Wolfe opened the subject in a practical and very helpful talk on home treatment during the ordinary diseases of children. The club feels decidedly indebted to Dr. Wolfe for the practical helpfulness of her suggestions. Miss Gallagher opened the discussion giving special attention to the precautions pro per in cases of contagious diseases. Mrs. Able read a paper on the Diseases of the Digestive Tract. Mrs. Martin opened the discussion following this phase of the subject. Mrs. Morning talked in a very interesting and helpful way on the Diseases of the Respiratory Organs, and MrsNeal led in the bright discussion following. Altogether the meeting was one which mothers and teachers both found thoroughly practical. with them. Mrs. Howorth's subject was the lesson on the little child; she spoke of the progress of the child; how the future of the race lies hid in him and how the child is daily forcing man to do right. Mrs. Lee Chamberlain's subject was too much claimed for the kinder garten; she showed clearly that the kindergarten child needs the same care f ul watch by the mother that any other child needs; that the training of the child cannot be left entirely with an ex pert with whom only a few hours a cay are spent; that the name kindergarten cannot stamp the child with morality; that the need is co operation of parents and teacher, that the responsibility be felt alike by both. Mrs. . I Shaw's subject was strength ening in childhood the moral will; she showed how necessary it is to teach the child self control, to give firmness to the will, quicken it. make it strong, pure and enduring. Then followed the gen eral discussion in which all joined giving personal experience and observation; the social hour and refreshments were en joyed. Next meeting will be with Mrs. Bennett.
