fifty persons, including family representa-

The table was beautifully decorated with
eyergreens, an American flag occupying
the centre, on which were inscribed the
date of the aged lady's birth and brief

Mrs. Mcdonald is at present enjoying
good health and gives promise of yet living

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.

An amusing incident is connected
with the bark robbery at Corder
yesterday. Prosecuting Attorney
Lorgan and the well known Alt1rney
W. ID. Ste ele were in the neighbor-
hood Of Corder and were Just driving
into Mt. Leonard when
IA message reached that
point announcing the robbery and
also requesting the authorities at Mt.
Leonard to be on the lookout for two
suspicious looking strangers. Messrs.
Steele and Longan, were strangers
and while not exactly ''suspi-
cious looking" yet the good people
of Mt. Leonard, in their excitement
were not prepared to discriminate and
it was With much difficulty the gen.
tlemen were enabled to explain who
and what they were. Mr.. Steele saws
that he had less trouble in proving
that he was not bank robber than
did The prosecuting attorney as he had
a more innocent and chi'dlike
countenance. The genial attorney
declares, however, that the trouble |
was with Mr.. Steele as it was believed |
he bore more Of a resemblance to
Frank j James than did Mr.. Longan.
Be this as it may the two gen:Iem IN
we're obliged to turn their pockets in
'ide out and show that they contained
nothing of more value than
fine tooth comb and nickle apiece
md at last they were allowed to de-
,art, with their necks safe and their
