A Birthday Surprise,

1t was spontaneous in it's appearance,
and thus II happened that when the Rev.
Mr.. Ulrich, Of the German Lutheran
church, was working in his study last
night, he was suddenly surprised by a
large number of ladies and gentlemen of
his congregation numbering some seventy
or more who began to take possession of
him, his home and all available outdoor
space. In little or no time torches illum-
mated the place, under the mulberry
trees tables were set and loaded with
goodies and refreshments for the inner
man. 1t being the occasion of the reverend
gentleman's birthday anniversary. Seri-
Gus, SeriO comic and other recitations and
pleasantries succeeded In short order. max
ing the evening pleasant one long to be
remembered
