,-fp' Vf ~w" 1 &'w- 8 n. Girls of the Sixties. The latest assembling of the "Girls, of the Sixties" was at Spectacle lake, the hostess being Mrs. S. Petterson. sr. The ladies were transported to and fro by auto mobile and the fiist paity to start out met with disaster through a flat tire at some distance from town. While they were deliberating dele gation No. 2 appeared and, seeing their plight generously offered to return to town for help. This they did, but as the assistance procured was not at once available, they con ceived the idea of getting some fun out of the mishap. So returning speedily to the scene of the stalled travelers they tossed them some candy and peanuts for a consoler and, without vouchsafing any information as to prospective help, continued on their way with the cheerful reminder that the "last shall be first," etc. All eventually reached their desti nation, however, and were royally entertained at "The Camp." A rustic affair, everything as far as possible in the way of refresh ments was furnished from the "farm" garden, and the table deco rations were in keeping as well. The centerpiece, a basket filled with ferns, fruits and flowers, rested upon ribbons of glossy corn leaves which radiated from the center, and with these were grouped sprays of Sep tember's flower, the sunny golden rod. Pretty egg-shaped gourds formed the place-cards, and these, it vvas suggested by the man of the party, the "girls" should be com pelled to eat. He did not insist upon this, however, when he dis covered the "card" which had been prepared for himself to be a good sized summer squash. Bell peppers made graceful little salad dishes, and among other products of the garden and orchard were musk melons, watermelons, apples and luscious strawberries, these last an unexpected delicacy in a Minnesota September. After the repast all adjourned to the living room to enjoy the com fort of an open lire which blazed and crackled under the manipulations of "mine host." and the moonlight drive to the various homes by auto train completed a most enjoyable oc casion. Not SuffragettesJust Hikers. At noon jesterday many Princeton people weie of opinion that an ad vance guaid of the noble army of suffragettes had invaded the town, and the writer hereof, observing five sturdy females with knapsacks, rifles, etc., immediately proceeded to get under cover. He suspected that they were genuine militants, and was uncertain whether the knapsacks which they carried on their shoulders contained nitro glycerine bombs or other weapons of extermination. It was later as certained, however, that the ladies were merelv performing a little pe destrian featthat they were on their way from St. Paul to Onamia on a "pleasuie'' trip and had selected the tramping method because of its invigorating properties. They started from St. Paul on Tuesday morning and left Prince ton after dinner yesterday, but they did not cover the whole of the dis tance between St. Paul and Prince ton on foot. When near Zimmer man, as luck would have it, Swan Petterson ho\e in sight with only himself aboard his motor car. Notic ing the good-looking young ladies tiamping along in the dust, he stopped his machine and invited them to enter. His invitation was unhesitatingly accepted. Swan is one ot the most obliging men in the countrj, especiallj when it comes to assisting good-looking ladies. The oun ladies' names are Misses G. and M. Ferrey, H. K. Carling, M. Reiff and M. Sherman. The Union hopes they may enjoy their rustication. The Automobile You Are Looking For. The automobile that has been looked for by prospective buyers for many years has arriveda car com bining simplicity, strength, speed, comfort and a reasonable price is represented in the Metz. It is a car with a wheel base of 100 inches strong, easily understood engine and controlment, classy lines and a speed absolutely under the control of the driver up to 60 miles per hour. No complicated gears to wear out or break at the expense of the driver or owner. Simply a low-priced friction clutch given by a band costing $1.50 to replace after it has become worn, and which will last for 5,000 miles before it needs re placing, and can be changed by an ameteur without extra cost in 30 minutes. The car can climb any hill that a $5,000 car can. Speed, strength, comfort. This is the Metz. That this is not hot air or imagina tion is amply proved by an inspec tion of the car or by its record, which can be learned from the public press or inquiry from those who own one. In 1911 the Metz, in a reliabil ity run from New York to Florida, went through with a perfect core, competing with cars that cost from V4 ^'Jhr-^AASiL1 ^i^S^^i ^^^."Q^r^w^^ "*fm j*|*PiPP3iPP|? five to ten times as much. At the recent Glidden tour, which went from Minneapolis to Glacier Park, a distance of 1,300 miles, and was daily reported by the city dailies, the only two cars which completed the run with a perfect score and no black marks recorded against them were two Metz cars. Can proof be stronger? These aie not claims that cannot be amply proven. Then the price, $475the price of a good horse, buggy and harness.

Hence He Was Pleased to Have His Judgment Confirmed. A Kansas man, who had played the role of the henpecked husband for a number of years, one day met an ageut who was selling a boob. The book agent dilated at length on the beauty and literary merit of the book, but the Kansas man told him he wasn't pre pared to buy. "But," he said, "there is a woman who lives in the house next to the corner In the next block who I'm satisfied wants that book and wants it bad." The agent hastened to the bouse end managed somehow to get inside the door. In about a minute he came out on the run and in a wild jump from the porch missed all the front steps and lit on the sidewalk running. The hen pecked husband had been an in terested spectator from the outside. When he saw the Kansas man, the agent stopped and with some heat said: "Say, that woman you recommended me to is the worst wildcat I ever saw." "Sure about that, are you?" said the Kansas man. "Sure? Well I should say I am sure," said the agent as he rubbed the place on bis head that had been hit with the broomstick. "Sort of glad to hear you say so, said the Kansas man. "After twenty-five years* experience with her I'd about come to that conclusion myself, but 1 didn't want to be hasty about formin' an opinion till I had the judgment of some unprejudiced witness."Kansas City Journal. REGAINING CASTE. 'Ordeals Natives of India Will Face to Be Cleansed. It is astonishing the belief natives in southern India have in their "caste" and what they will do to regain it if lost A certain day in the year is set aside for the ceremony of regaining "caste." An inclosure about twenty feet square is fenced off, and in this logs of wood are burnt, the ashes of which are kept red hot by continual fanning. Those going through the ceremony have to wash themselves in the river about a mile away: then, with strings of flowers hanging round their necks, they run to the inclosure. By the time they reach it the red hot ashes have been raked all over the floor and the idol of whatever caste they belong to has been placed on a platform at one end. In rush the "casteless," barefooted, without the slightest hesitation, and dance round and round on the red hot ashes until they drop from exhaustion and are dragged out by their friends. Before going through this painful cere mony of regaining "aste a man is first supposed to fast for at least three days.Pearson's Weekly. The Hanging Judge. When Lord Norbury. "the hanging judge." as he was called in Ireland, was sentencing a man to death for stealing a watch he said: "My good fellow, you made a grasp at time and caught eternity." Nothing seemed to please Lord Nor bury more than the continual up"oar in court created by his puns "What is your occupation, my honest man?" be asked a witness "Please, your lordship. I keep a racket court." "So do I," said the judge. When Lord Norbury was being bur ied the grave was so deep that the ropes by which the undertaker was let ting down the coffin didn't reach to the bottom. The coffin was left hanging midway while somebody went for new ropes. "Aye." cried one in the crowd, "give him rope enough: don't stint him. He was the boy that never grudged rope to a poor body Remarkable Dogs. A German cobbler and his wife had two dogs, a St Bernard six months old and a fox terrier three years old. A friend calling one day said to the cob bler, "Those are two fine dogs you have." "Yes." replied the cobbler, "und de funny part of it is dat de biggest dog is de littlest one." His wife then spoke up and ex plained: "You must mine husband egscuse. He sbpeaks not very good English He means the oldest dog is de youngest one."Chicago Record-Herald. Fielding's Turning Point. England's censorship of the drama caused Fielding to turn from play writing to novel writing.
