PLEASANT SOCIAL HOUR AT
METHODIST PARSONAGE
About forty members and invited
j guests of the adult Bible class of
*he Methodist church met last even-
ing to spend a social hour at the
residence of Rev. and Mrs. Perry.
A short business session was held
first at which Miss Alice Lee pre-
sided. After this the class gave the'
remainder of the evening to social
[pleasure. Some select /music was
rendered Mrs. W. W. Webster’s
songs being particularly enjoyed.
Delightful refreshments of ice
cream and cake were served.
All united in the hope that this
gathering might be only the begin-
|
ning of the enjoyment of a fuller
social life in the church.
A Correction.
The Herald was in error in re-
porting that Judge Ira Webster
would assist in the defense in the
contested election cases which were
to have been called in the district
court yesterday. Judge Webster is
not employed by either side in these1
cases.

: SAD JOURNEY TO
OLD HOME IN NORTH
"
Sorrowful indeed is the bereave*
| ment of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Lowe
who left on he afternoon train yes-
terday taking the remains of their
baby boy Harold for interment at
their former home Newcastle Ind. j
This was the second child they had
lost within two days 'heir little
daughter Helen aged three years1
| having died Tuesday. The body of •
|this little one was sent Wednesday
to Newcastle the parents being un-
able to accompany the body on ac- j
count of the illness of their young-'
cst child. Tropical dysentery was
the cause of death in both eases.
Mr. and Mr*. Lowe had been liv-
ing at Little Indiana until about six
months ago. when they moved to a
farm near this city. They had
raised a very profitable rrop of cab-
bage this spring. They were Just
preparing to start with their three
little ones for a visit to their old
home in Indiana when the two
youngest were taken ill. Thev were
brought to the Valley hospital here
but it was too late to save them.

What Became of the Boots?
The other day little Philip wanted
a pair of rubber boots. Papa tried
to reason him out of it but the
youngster persisted in his demand.
I Finally papa told him a little story
—one he had read in the newspaper.
The boy was all attention and the
story proceeded:
“A little hoy in Baltimore had
been given a pair of rubber boots by
his father. He waded in the water
with them — water ran over th< tops
of the boots—the boy took cold-
mother put feet in not water gr“w
worse—doc tor came- -little boy died
—undertaker funeral.”
The small boy listened attentively
to the end of the story and the father
was congratulating himself on the
Impression he had made when with
a long breath Philip asked:
“What did they do with the
boots?”—From Norman E Mack s
National Monthly.
