The Valentine party r.iven at Ma sonio hall last Friday night by several laides of this oity, was voted to be tbe most pleasant f unotiou of tbe kind that has ocourred this season. Tbe hall was appropriately decorated in festoons of hearts, wbioh draped ceiling and walls. Tbe young people to tbe number of about one hundred, were met and wel comed by the reoeption committee and when seated were treated to musio fur bished by the Pinkerton orchestra, composed of two young ladies and two young gentlemen. After the musio, oards in the shape of hearts were distributed, out in tbe oenter, eaoh part bearing the half of a sentimental quotation. When matched these indioated partners for the eve ning, the first lady matching her half with that of a gentleman, receiving a handsome valentine as a prize. Miss Katie Maloney was the successful con testant in this case. An instrumental duet by Misses Delia Danner and Irene Dudley was next on the program aid then followed a "Musioal Reverie." The reverie was read, in whioh occurred, many titles of popular and familiar songs, the musio being played instead of tbe words being read. Paper and penoils bad been distributed and eaoh guest was required to write titles of sougs be reoognized, Miss Maloney again winning in this contest, the prize be ing a beautiful heart shaped box filled with bonDons. The guests if ere then entertained with a song sung by four young gentle men, Maunoe Hill, Clarenoe Brotber ton, Hugh Lieuallen and Walter Judy, who responded to a hearty enoore. Miss Prootor, a young l&dy gneet of tbe Misses MoEwen, from Pendleton Academy, favored the oompany with a reoitation, and then followed tbe arohery contest. A large heart shaped target was ereoted at one end of tbe hall, ar ranged in significant colors. Eaoh guest was allowed a shot with the bow and nrrow, and tbe color bit in dicated tbe good or bad fortune of the bowman. Ray Hansell proved bis prowess with oupid's weapon by bit ting nearest the center of the target, and was also awarded a luscious box I of bonbons. Musio followed, rendered by tbe Johnson orobestra, and lunoh was then served, sandwiches, cake and ooooa being the refreshments. After lunoh all enjoyed old fashion ed games, and tbe evening's pleasure was olosed with another selection by tbe Pinkerton orobestra. Wood Causes a Crush.

Tbe colonel, always on the half shell, stopped his team on a M&ia street crossing. Of course there" was instantly a congestion of teams and pe destrians, and in the attendant mael strom of confusion, the urbane Weston pencil shover seeing be was tbe center pieoe of tbe crowd, lifted tbe best bat be ever wore and ws about to thank everybody for the mark of recognition given him, when he was brought to earth by tbe thunderous roar of "move on."
