The ladies' trophy in the progressive euchre was carried off by Mrs. George Kidnie and the gentlemen's award by Mr. John Sullivan, teacher of the Parker school, who assisted in providing music for the dancing. The undesired participants in the evening's affairs were a number of honey bees, that as the evening advan- ed and the hall became warmer were more and more familiar, stinging a few of the guests as a friendly ges- ture. During the summer the Wes found their way into the partition of the hall, where they built themselves winter quarters, from which the heat and light attracted them. Now the brethren must find a way to get rid of them, and possibly se- cure a quantity of honey at the same time.—Arthur Enterprise-News. Motor vehicles are the greatest cause of accidental death.
