MV LADY'S LID.
My scat!
Where did she get that hat?
"Who ever did
Invent a lady's lid
Like that?
Who had the nerve to roll it out
And stretch it more and more,
From centrcpleco to rim, until
It spreads from shore to shore,
And likewise lifts Its summit up,
On birds' and other wings,
Above the earth until it scrapes
The clouds and other things?
Who added to the wondrous width
Of brim, so that the space
Could easily accommodate
An automobllo race?
Say, who done that?
Who built her hat?
Who made it something never seen
On earth or in the sky,
A flat of wide extended plain,
A mountain towering high?
Cut wider doors for her to get
Inside of any place.
And put the celling on the roof
To give her nodding space.
Push up the clouds to let her stand
Erect upon the ground,
And shovo the wide horizon bark
To let her turn around.
Oh, weirdly, witching woozy hat
That flattens out and towers
Who ever saw a thing like that
A pancake piled with flowers?
A hat contagious spreading? Yes,
That names the Merry WId.;
And she who falls to catch it should
Slip out and change her lid.
Geo whiz!
What a wonder woman Is!
And my scat!
"Where DID she get that hat?

evil.
Kiss a bride right after the cere
mony, and before the newly male
husband has a chance to do so, and
you will have excellent luck thruout
the year.
Should a bride perchance see a cof
fin while being driven to the mil
way station prior to her departure
upon her wedding tour, she should
order the driver to turn back and
start over again, or elso she will
surely meet with bad luck.
The A. N. W. Club met with Miss
Susie Eickworth In South Marshfleld
Thursday afternoon. The afternoon
Prof. Todd Composes Air For
Francis E. Clark's Excel
lent Poem.
Marshfleld is a musical city, and
has more than the share which falls
to the lot of cities of her class, of
musical nrtists of real talent. Homes,
churches and public assemblies tes
tify to this and the successful organ
ization of a permanent chorus of fifty
voices, now rapidly being increased to
the hundred which will sing "The
Messiah" in the near future, is a trib
ute to her musical spirit. That oc
casion will be the musical event of
the season.
Professor Todd is a musical in
structor and director of experience as
well as a training genius. He Is also
a composer, whose productions arc
regarded as of very high merit. True
artist that he is, the artistic features
of beautiful Coos Bay, furnished the

were participated in from afar and
served chiefly to turn tho tide of con
versation into tho channels of con
nublal bliss. There are more or less
woll founded rumor that at least one
more of tho Mlllicoma's bachelor
brigade will soon follow Anson Rog
ers into tho rapidly increasing class
of Leap Year Benedicts.
And speaking of brides and Bene
dicts rovlves tho many quaint and
curious superstitions and charms that
cling to bridal lore. Hero arc a few
of them:
If you wish to be lucky you must
according to an old adage, wear
"something old and something new,
something borrowed and something
bluo."
According to another old rhyme in
tho choice of tho day for tho wed
ding, you find tho following supersti
tions are still frequently believed:
"Monday for health,
Tuesday for wealth,
Wednesday tho best day of all!
Thursday for crosses
Saturday no luck at ail,"
Instances are known, however,
where brides who have chosen a day
in dollanco of tho old rhymo have
beon very prosperous and happy.
Tho month of May used to bo con
sidered a very unlucky month in
which to bo married, but many per
sons nowadays put asldo the old
superstition and prefer to bo married
in this beautiful month of spring.
Another old snylng la:
"Who changes naiiio and not the
lotter, marries for worso and not for
better."
You should not try on tho entire
bridal costumo, veil and all, beforo
you dress for tho altar.
If however, you shed a fow tears
on your wedding day it will signify
happiness.
Tho old saying, "throo times n
bridesmaid, never a bride." has prov
en so frequently to bo falso that fow
portions nowadays stop to consider it.
That tho bridesmaid who Is so for
tunate as to catch tho bride's bou
quet when she tosses It among her
bridesmaids beforo going away will
bo tho first one to be married is a
superstition fondly hold by all.
A bride w ho finds a spider on her
wedding dress may consider herself
blessed.
The bride who dreams of falrl-is
tho night before her maniago will bo
thrleo blessed.

One of tho most enjoyable social
events of the season on Coos Bay
was the celebration of the Sfith an
niversary of Odd Fellowship by Sun
set Lodge No. lol, at the lodge's hall
last evening. More than 150 ladles
and gentlemen were present. For
mality was dispensed with as much
as possible, enabling everyone to en
joy themselves as their moods di
rected.
One of the features of the inform
al program was the singing lead by
Ed. Anderson's choir and which was
participated in by many of the
guests. Following this, there were
some pleasing numbers and sketches
by Frank R. Bridges and wife.
The celebration concluded with
one of the best banquets that has
ever been served on Coos Bay. A
Hagermoister had charge of the ban
quet and Its preparation, and was
the recipient of many compliments
for his work.
The general committee in charge
of the celebration was composed of
D. L. Rood, R. D. Hazen and Altus
Kingston. The principal officers of
Sunset Lodge are: N. G., R. D. Ha
zen; V. G., A. W. Neal; Sec. L. Lan
do; treas. John F. Hall.
The anniversary of Odd Fellow
ship really falls on April 2Gth, but
as this will be Sunday, It was de
cided to have the local celebration
last evening.

:iuU m tho younger iot. Curdt'nntl
in Los Angeles when he nicked un
nnd rpjul the poem "Coos Bay," cir
culated by the Chamber of Com
merce, l'rotessor Todd says that
poem attracted his attention and
can (l ,nm to think that if so many
good things could Inspire such a
piece, Coos Bay was worth looking
up. Since coming here he has been
more and more impressed with the
sources of the poetic inspiration
which produced tho poem and has
felt that the words should be set to
music. He has, therefore, composed
an air which he had adapted to Mr.
Clark's poem, arranging the eight
verses in two parts, and designing
the production for public occasions.
He has dedicated the whole, with the
permission of the author of the
poem, to the public schools of Coos
Bay, and intends to give it for the
first time, as the closing number of
the program on the evening when
the Messiali is sung. Coos Bay has the
proud distinction of having a high
class hymn of Its own, a distinction
which no other city In America can
claim.
The poem "Coos 3ay" has been
widely commented on and is con
sidered by critics as one of the most
artistic of the class called "Poems of
Place." It presents with remarkable
condensation the most striking feat
ures of the bay and is likely to be re
membered as long as the city stands.
ine lol lowing lines present the pic
ture vividly:
"Thy fairly Inlets sweep,
Venltlan channels deep,
Where happy toilers reap,
Coos Bay,
And to the city's side
Thy magic launches glide
Along the peaceful tide,
Coos Bay."
Even tlie advent of Admiral Evans'
fleet into the Pacific was anticipated
in the lines:
"The Golden Fleece has passed,
Into that Ocean vast,
Which on thy shores is cast
Coos Bay,
And conflict here has whirled
The navies of tho world
Witli banners all unfurled
Coos Bay."
But the real patriotic sentiment
and flash-light view are in the last
two verses:
"Great ships by storm distressed
On Ocean's troubled breast
Find In thy Haven rest,
Coos Bay,
And with a royal grace
Thy loving arms embrace
A world's great market place
Coos Bay.
"All nations of the earth
Shall glorify thy birth
And testify thy worth
Coos Bay.
All tides shall turn to thee
Wealth shall thy tribute bo
Queen of the Sunset sea
Coos Bay."
Those who have heard Professor
Todd's music say it is splendidly
adapted to the words of the poem.
Nothing, but the undeveloped great
ness of the bay and city could so
glorify Coos Bay In poetry and song.
