es OS the Ladies' Social Union of the
First Presbyterian church of this city,
will be held Friday evening, October

The entertainment of the Weller
Trio, consisting of Beatrice Weller,
Lois Dyson and Ralph Leo, was en
thusiastically received by a well-filled
house. Miss Weller is a well known
lecturer and crayon artist Miss Dy
son is a master of the violin and Mr.
Leo possesses a baritone voice of rich
quality. The program was varied and
exceedingly interesting. Miss Dyson's
technique was wonderful and she prov
ed an unqualified favorite with her
audience, encore after encore being
demanded. Mr. Leo proved a great
success, his voice being a baritone of
rare sympathy. Miss Weller's lecture
was on the little things of life, and
she aptly illustrated the events that
happen to all, by portraying verbally
and with her crayon the "Life of Wil
lie Smith," from the go-cart age to
the "living-happy-ever-after." Each
new thing brought before the audience
by the trio was hailed with a burst
of applause. All in all the initial num
ber of the lecture course was a tre
mendous success. Port Townsend

cess of the trio.—Yakima Morning

"Way Down East"
The membeis* of the cast in "Way
Down East", the home talent play
which is to be presented at the Opera
House on Tuesday evening, October
19th, under the auspices of the Cos
mos Club are rehearsing under the
capable direction of Mr. and Mrs. Har
ry Choate.
The members of the Club will be
out selling exchange tickets the last
of this week, these tickets to be ex
changed at Carlson Bros. Drug Store
on Saturday, the 16th.
It is not necessary to go into de
tail, describing the play, as "Way
Down East" speaks for itself. It is an
old rural drama with a nice vein of
comedy running thru it, and is a play
that amateurs are able to present in
a good manner. The tickets will be
50 cents for any seat on the lower
floor. The first four rows upstairs,
and the box seats will sell for 35 cents
and the remainder of the room in the
balcony will be 25 cents.
"Get Together" Club.
About one hundred and twenty-five
farmers responded to the invitation
issued by the business men of Echo,
to attend a smoker and social enter
tainment at the Opera House on
Thursday evening of. last week, and
to all appearances both guests and en
tertainers enjoyed the occasion im
mensely. The "get-together" spirit
was the object that suggested the
meet, with a "Farmers' and Mer
chants' Club" to be organized later,
in view. This is an important move,
and every community should encour
age a club of this kind. In organiza
tion there is strength and the need of
proper organization is felt in all com
munities many times a year.—Echo
Enterprise.
Boy Shoots Eagle.
While driving along- the Minnesota
river bottoms Sunday, Ashley Church
ill of Lac qui Parle shot an eagle.
The bullet struck the bird's wing and
wounded it so it could not fly. Mr.
Churchill threw a horse blanket over
it and took it home with him. The
bird has a gray head and is large,
measuring over 6 feet from the tip of
one wing to the other. Its talons are
large and horny. It is very fierce
and would put up a hard fight if it
were not caged in a crating. Mr.
Churchill lias not decided what he
will do with it. This is the first eagle
seen in this section for years and is
quite a curiosity.—Dawson Sentinel.

ONLY ONE
The Record In Willmar Is a Unique
One.
If the reader has a "bad back" or
any kidney ills and is looking for an
effective kidney medicine, better de
pend on the remedy endorsed by peo
ple you know. Doan's Kidney Pills
have given great satisfaction in such
cases. Willmar citizens testify to
this. Here is a case of it:
Mrs. Peter Olson, 126 Benson Ave.
E., Willmar, says: "One in our home
had such a bad back that it would
just give out at times. The weakness
and pain across the back made it hard
to do anything and colds always made
the trouble worse. Kidney weakness
also caused lots of annoyance. Fail
ing to find help, the patient was cer
tainly glad when Doan's Kidney Pills
were found to be the medicine need
ed. It wasn't long before the back
was strengthened and the kidneys
made normal."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy-—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Olson recommends. Foster

A SALON
DIALOGUE
By WILLIAM CHANDLER
"What a pity it is," said Betty Cham
berlin to me, "that Harry Ashurst is
going to throw himself away on that
Perkins girl!"
"What's the matter with Ida Per
kins?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing," replied Betty, "only
she's not half good enough for Harry."
"Why don't you interrupt the pro
ceedings?"
"How could I do that?"
"Step in between them."
"You flatterer! One would think to
hear you talk that I could have any
man I want for the asking."
"So you could and not half try."
Betty tried hard to conceal the pleas
ure my appreciation of her powers
gave her, but failed.
"There's one man I couldn't"—
"Who?"
"The first letter of his first name
is J."
"That's because you never tried."
My first name is James.
"Perhaps I will."
"What would poor Harry do In the
meanwhile? He would be swallowed
up by Ida Perkins."
"Oh, that affair could wait"
"When are you going to begin on
me?"
"You? Oh, you can wait too. Good
morning. Come and see me soon. I
have things to tell you."
"Very soon. Goodby!"
This scrap of conversation, which 1
am free to admit was not concentrated
wisdom, occurred at the glove counter
of Jones', where I met Miss Chamber
lin. The next time I saw her was at
Mrs. Winters' salon, so called from the
brilliant dialogues that take place
there. Betty was tied to Ashurst He
was a graduate of a scientific school
and could drown her in a pool of ideas
seven feet deep. I was sandwiched
between two girls directly behind them.
We conversed with one another, but
had our ears open for what Ashurst
and Betty were saying. One of the
girls beside me was Ida Perkins. The
only remark that could be considered
to refer to the couple in front of us
was made by Ida. It was this:
"Why do you bright men get stuck
In the honey of stupid girls?"
"Leave out the 'you,' and I will an
swer the question," I replied.
But she wouldn't and I confess I
would not have been pleased if she
bad. T--"' .• .-•••
Betty made a lodgment with Ash
urst at that salon, and this is the way
she did it
"I have heard, Mr. Ashurst," she was
saying, "that* you are not one of the
kind to feel.certain of anything and
that you never force your opinions on
any one."
"Confound those persons who know
everything!" grunted Ashurst
"So say I-—that is, I mean persons
who don't know as much as other per
sons who know a great deal, but are
not constantly trying,to show it off."
This was a trifle mixed, but Ashurst
didn't seem to mind it
"Some of the women here make me
laugh," Betty went on. "They think
they're quite wise. Don't they tire you,
Mr. Ashurst?"
"I don't know some of them do."
"I heard one of them just now talk
ing about the big European war. She
said the allies had the best generals,
only they had been short of ammuni
tion."
"Which allies?"
"Why, I suppose she meant—is there
more than one ally?"
saw Ida Perkins and Belle Town
send—Belle was the other side of the
sandwich that had me for a middle
look at each other. Fortunately for
Betty a lady passed her, bidding her
good evening, and making a remark
about the weather. So Bet was not
obliged to go any further into the mili
tary problems of the great war. In
deed, it had not been her intention to
do so. She, had become inadvertently
drawn Into It by attempting to hold up

"Are you fond of motoring, Mr.
Ashurst?" was her next remark. "I
don't suppose you are. At least so
busy a man as you is not likely to have
time to enjoy himself."
Ashurst was the scientific adviser of
a gigantic manufacturing corporation.
He looked relieved that Betty should
have spared him the trouble of an
swering the question she had asked
him. Bet has beautiful eyes and
knows that they serve her a better
purpose than her tongue, for unfortu
nately the latter member cannot wag
without drawing on her brain.
"The reason why I asked you if you
were fond of motoring is that I have a
car, and if you could spare me some
afternoon about 4 o'clock"—
"I should be very happy," was the
reply.
"Don't you think an ice would cool
us? These rooms are very warm."
They arose and went elsewhere. Bet
had caught sight of Ida in rather too
close proximity to suit her.
The next time I saw Betty I congrat
ulated her on her engagement to Ash
urst "Didn't I tell you," I said, "that
you could if you tried?"
"What's this I hear about you and
Ida Perkins?" she asked, looking at me
anxiously.
"Oh, we're engaged too."
I have never since regained the place
I occupied in Betty's good graces. I
don't see why: Surely she could not
have Ashurst and me too. Perhaps if
I had married any but the girl she rob
bed of another man she might have re
mained my friend.
PERFUME OF MUSK.
The Odor Is Penetrating Because the
Substance Is Radio-active.
The extraordinarily penetrating pow
er of musk perfume is accounted for
by the fact that it is radio-active. The
United States consul at Chunking,
China, writes that this property causes
the odor to be carried through the air
in a way that would otherwise be im
possible. And he adds that this radio
active property "affects most peculiarly
the natives who carry it If It is held
close to the body for any length of
time it produces sores that are proba
bly similar in character to those caused
by pure radium."
Musk is a secretion of certain glands
or pouches of the male musk deer and
is secreted only during certain seasons
of the year. It is difficult to obtain
pure, and one of the largest French
manufacturers of perfume keeps a rep
resentative at Tachienlu, near the
Tibetan border, for the sole purpose of
buying it v-/ .'••
Three thousand pounds of -musk on
an average are shipped every year
from Chunking, and fully half of this
has passed through Tachienlu, which
is one of the principal musk markets of
the world, though eighteen days' jour
ney from Chunking, the nearest port
The deer, which are seldom more
than three feet long and twenty to
twenty-two Inches tall, are being
slaughtered in such numbers that they
are becoming more and more scarce
and will eventually be extinct
.' That Genius Whistler.
Of Whistler Lady St Heller In
"Memories of Fifty Years" writes
thus: "He was a genius and had all
the defects and qualities of one. To
him everything was a joke, the subject
of a bonmot The lightest and dainti
est of persiflage was what he excelled
in, and one- never had a dull moment
in his company. He was always late
for dinner, arranging the immortal
lock of gray hair In its proper place as
he came into the room, with apologies
and excuses, none of them true, of
which he was perfectly conscious and
also that they were not believed.
Wherever he was there would be a cir
cle listening to him, and his ringing
laugh would be heard all over the
room as he sent his shafts right and
left into the joints of the armor of
those who were attacking him. It was
a great surprise and almost a shock
when he appeared as a benedict"
