Show Masquerade At Preston PRESTON, Idaho, March 15.-A grand character ball was held in the opera house last Wednesday; and the event was a swell affair. Miss Vera Parkinson, representing a Japanese belle, won the lady's prize. Her costume cos-tume was perfect. Mr. Scott, In the employ of the Bell Telephone Co , won the masculine honors. The way he unwound the "kinks" incident to tramp life, of which he was certainly a paragon, caused many to think that he was a genuine specimen of the genus ge-nus "hobo," and the Judges shared this belief. Other characters that came In for unstinted pialse were: Miss Blanche Larsen as a "sister of mercy," Miss Ella Maughan as a "co-ed," Al-labell Al-labell Weaver as "Topsy"- and Stella' Geddes as a gyp9y maid; Lee Brlmhall as a complacent Jew, Jack Petersen as Happy Hooligan, Will Head as a Milwaukee Mil-waukee Dutchman were certainly "it."
