tiOn the recitation of Will Carleton's
poem "The Editors Guests" by Miss
Kittie May Woolley young miss twelve
years of age. The poem was recited i'm
manner that would have done credit
to professional elOcutiOnist and evoked
the hearty applause of all present.
Ex-Secretary of State E. G. d. Holden
responded to the toast Michigan" in his

publican was down for the toast ''Our
Schools and Colleges" He stated that
he had been given the choice of subjects
and had chosen the above because he
knew the least about it and therefore it
would take less time to tell what he did
know. His response was very interest
ing and was listened to attentiyely.
Hon. E. O. Rose, of the PiOneer-Magnet
responded to "WOmen-May she never
be underestimated." Mr.. Rose is evident
ly a ladies man and seemed at home with
the subject.
G. E. Matthews, of the Fremont Indi-
Gator had very elaborate response pre-
pared to the toast "The Newspaper Man
His Ups and Downs" but pleased the
audience better by not using it, but in
stead giving an imprOmptu, in an in
imitable manner, of what, awe should
judge, he had personally experienced
which was amusing as well as interest

some of the responses were dispensed
with. Everybody left the hall in the
happiest mood.
