Herbert Grosvenor's Esoapades.

AS will be remembered by RECORD
l.. Grosvenor, left home early last
winter, taking with him money which
he had stolen from his mother Officers
were put on the case, Herbert was
traced to Lakeview and brought back to
this place. At that time Mrs Grosvenor
was very harshly censured and blamed
for the boys actions. Herbert has,
since his return, apparently done better
He has delivered his papers promptly,
and, indeed, was doing so well, that our
citizens, Gas well as his mother,) We're
inclined 10 overlook his escapade. A
little more than week ago, he disap
peared again. This time, too, his moth
er has been charged with being the di
rect cause of his leaving home. Subse
quent events have proved that the boy
is a thorough rascal, and should be
placed in some institution where his
thieving propensities can be curbed. a
letter has been received by Mrs. Gros-
venor, written by Herbert to his brother
younger than himself) in Lakeview, i'll
which he says he has lain awake nights
plotting how to rob his mother, advising
his brother to steal money, come to
Alma, and go away with him. The let
ter shows cunning and plotting worthy
of the most hardened and abandoned
criminal. Mrs. Grosvenor has possibly,
hay, probably-erred in her discipline,
conscientious, and did her duty as best
she knew.

The Sophomores

The sophomore class gave its annual
exhibition in the college chapel Tuesday
evening. The program consisted of nine
orations and essays, interspersed with
music. The exhibition was Of uniform
excellence, and showed admirable self
control and absence of sensationalism
The orations and essays were all in good
taste, and some of them exhibited real
merit in composition and delivery.
Frances Dustin Adams spoke Of "Our
National Monuments" and showed an
appreciation of the grandeur and large
ness of her subject Birdsey S. Bates on
"The Palace of the Doges" evidenced real
descriptive powers. Paul Hale Bruske
on Unsuccessful Attempts at Coloniza-
ton" inserted some humorous touches
among his descriptive sketches. James
Irving Crane on THE Trend" mani
ifested a good deal OF sympathy for his
difficult subject. Sherman LandOn Di-
vine on woman i'll the History OF
France spoke with an earnestness that
commanded close attention. Edwin Glib
son Frye's manner III speaking on 'Is
War Justifable:" was pleasing and
frank. Maurice Grigsby combated "Viv'
isection' with the aid of some realistic
sketches of scenes in medical schools
Miss Mertha Peters awakened probably
most response from the audience with
her sketch of that gentle and lovable
poet, Eugene Field. John Bartlett Ste
vens received n good deal Of attention on
account Of the variety of information
which he had collected concerning 1.-THE

of the same musicalness and evenness OF

A Notable Gathering,

a notable gathering Of pioneer women
occurred Tuesday afternoon at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Derwin Ely. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ely are soon to leave for Petoskey,
where they will in future reside. About
forty of the lady friends of Mrs. Ely
planned a surprise on her, and it was
carried out to perfection. Each guest
brought well-filled basket and a sump-
tuous dinner was served; and lingering
around the table "reminiscences of "Auld
Lang Syne" were exchanged. Much of
pathos was mingled with the conversa-
ton, for ties strengthened by an ac-
quaintance of many years are soon TO be
severed, and tears and smiles were inter
mingled as hostess and guests recounted
incidents of the years that are gone. Be-
for the company dispersed Mrs. Ely was
given another surprise, when Prof. r. G..
Ely, who had been asked for this pur-
pose, presented her, in the name of her
friends, pair of gold-bowed spectacles
and a well-filled purse, and the depths
of her nature were stirred. when one of
the guests, in saying goodbye" left in
her hand bill of no small denomina-
ton.
The combined ages of those present
was | ,090 years, the Oldest person being
13 years old, and the youngest 81 years.
