the auspices of the Busy Bees. The
hall was tastefuily and appropriately
decorated, and the tables fairly groaned
under the weight of a regular old-fash-

tions and vocal and instrumental music
was carried out. All parts were nicely
taken and well received by the large
audience. Throughout the evening the

allied, making the affair a financial
success also.

which caused it to plunge violently and
drag its companion and wagon into
water 20 feet deep. Saville sprang from
the wagon to free the team, when either
the plunging horses or something else,
whath cannot remember, struck him
