The children and grandchildren of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Sans met at the de-
lightful parental home. last Sunday and
had very pleasant family reunion, and
as the gathering was in honor of Mrs.
Sans birthday anniversary, thought it
would be quite as enjoyable and more
impressive to take her by surprise, a
thing she thought they were hardly
competent to do, but they did it all the
same. While she and Mr.. Sans we're at
Sunday school and church, studying the
lesson of the prodigal son and listening
she little dreamed that her own quiet
home, 80 recently left without an uccu.
pant was literally filled with her own
retrning prodigals, but, there was no
famine in the land from whence they
came Each family had killed the fatted
hen and brought baskets filed with
something better than husks. When
the services at the church were ended,
and Mrs. Sans and her husband, who
was feigning the innocence of a lamb re.
turned to their home, she was greatly
surprised to find table spread with all
the delicacies of the season, and the
house filled with her loving offspring,
but her surprise soon gave place to feel
ing of delight on being so kindly re.
membered by those she loved. All the
family were present, except Edward and
wife, whose home7is in the east.

our people, among whom he is 30 popu.
lar as teacher.
