CONGRATULATIONS, LADIES OF THE W. A. C.
There took place in Seward last evening an affair
which proves concisively that life is exactly what we make
it. We have reference to the chicken dinner given by the
ladies of the Seward Athletic Club, hostesses to over 225
people at one of the finest community dinners ever pre
sented locally. And on top of that they furnished a pro
gram which not only brought out unrevealed sources of
talent but pleased the attendance wonderfully.
And it also proves, more strongly than ever that we
can't get along without the ladies, for immediate finances
were needed by the club, with which to carry through the
coming winter's program.
The ladies raised a large portion of it last night.
We would like to see a flock of men endeavor to put a
dinner over on such short notice as these ladies did.
Not a chance in the world, brother!
We believe somewhat in Doc Osier’s theory as applied
to automobiles. At any convenient time after their 50
thousandth mile they ought to be put out of their misery.
Pedestrains may well be further dismayed by the an
nouncement that the new model flivver can make 55 miles
an hour.
Commander Byrd’s ability to navigate in a fog sug
gests that he should be employed to pilot a ship of state
now and then.
THE EARLY BIRD AND THE WORM
The Gateway bunch were about the first ones on deck
at the chicken feed last night and by the time they got
through there was little left for the remainder of the
crowTd.
Wealth in this world is just so much baggage to be
taken care of but a cultivated brain is easy to carry and
is a never-failing source of profit and pleasure.
Gratitude is a debt which all men owe and which few
pay cheerfully.
There is no victory so cheap and so complete as for
giveness.

AT DINNED AFFAIR
LAST NIGHT, SIC.
Real entertainment marked the
program at the W. A. C. chicken din
ner last evening in the S. A. C. hall
and talent, unsuspected, was seen and
heard. The numbers were numerous
and varied. Probably the most out
standing was the number of Mr. Har
rison on the one string violin, assist
ed by Mrs. Schmitt at the piano. It
is known Mr. Harrison has an iron
bound contract to appear on the Pan
tages vaudeville circuit at anytime he
desires to accept, and it was fully
demonstrated by the classical selec
tions he rendered last night that he
is an artist. The instrument fairly
throbbed with the beautiful tones.
Another greatly appreciated num
ber was the excellent piano solos by
| Mrs. Groth among which Avere a few
of her own composition. She was
very gracious with her encores.
The Scottish singing and dialogue
by Mr. Groth was also rendered with
skill and several encores were neces
sary before the crowd would permit
him to retire.
“I killed that man,” by “Gimpy”
Harris, a recitation, wTas put over in a
highly laudable manner, so much so
that the handsome young man, with
the stentorian voice, wras requested
to perform again. This chap, a mem
ber of the quartermasters department
promises to be a valuable adjunct to
the life of the town in affairs plan
ned for this coming winter.
The readings and re-citations by
Mrs. Hatten, of the Jesse Lee Home,
were very appropriate. Her versatali
ty, especially to those wrho had not
had the pleasure of hearing her be
fore, was surprising.
The recitation by Wayne Galloway,
must have been good, but from
wrhere the writer, sat not a word
could be heard. The applause, how
ever, signalled the fact his stunt was
pleasing.
i _ _ .
inis man uen mgn was a scream
on his French harp (a mouth organ)
and performed with great skill on the
! difficult instrument. All kids can tes
tify to the fact it takes real talent
land years of constant practice before
jthe stage of perfection is reached,
or such as High plays with ease. He
received so much applause that count
was lost of the number of encores he
came through with. His costume was
also a knockout.
The assembly could have listened
all evening to Mr. Sampson, on the
violin, and Miss Elsie Leslie, at the
piano. Sampson swings a mean bow,
with an easy natural movement, get
ting real snappy music out of his in
trument. The folks sure would have
liked to have heard many more num
bers.
The wind-up -was a humorous im
prompt four act sketch entitled "Ten
pesky redskins bite the dust”. P. C.
Me Mullen was the director; the cast
was made up from* high school stu
dents. J. P. Hannon was the stage
manager, electrician and prop boy,
combined. Mrs. Hannon, the heroine,
Urie, "the poor hound” and the hero,
Francis Leslie, also “grandma”, put
over their stuff in great style. The
Gateway does not know whom to cred
it the clever idea but have suspicions.
It acted as an invigorating tonic wind
ing up the happy evening just right.
The Masons will have their regular
meeting tonight. It is announced
work in the 3rd degree will be in
order.
