A THROUGH TICKET
Via
Chicago, Milwauke & St, Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-bttying
there.
By buying over the G. M. & St. P«. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive—-the most powerful in.all the
world— and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.
For tickets, berth reservations and other parti
culars consult your nearest Steamship Agent.

That Hallowe'en Dance
1 At Kagle Hall on Hallowe'en
| From nine till half-past one,
A dance of ghosts there’ll be
Who back to earth have come,
By Invitation of the Witch,
For one night in the year;
Again to walk for mortal man
Who for them show no fear.
We wish all to attend this dance,
And meet these spectres face to
face.
And ghostly garments you will wear
Such as sheet a"*! pillow case.
And join us in our revelries
And form a fitting scene,
A spectral party, gay but weird.
To celebrate this Hallowe'en.
