bury, Brandon, Whiting and Hubbaidton were
represented The grove had been previously
arranged by skillful hands with tables, seats
and a speakers stand, and with its cool, re-
freshing shade and soft carpet Of pine needles
was delightful. Had the tables feeling, they
would have groaned beneath the burden Of
good things for the refreshment Of the inner
man, which the ladies of the burg know well
how to prepare. The cool spring water sea-
soned with lemon made a delightful drink.

gram had been prepared which was finely rem
dered. The Misses Katherine Griswold and
Lena Frost, assisted by Howard Atwood and
hudson Stevens with Miss Edith Gibson as
organist, sang national airs and patriotic
songs, with a response from the iron throat Of

oring to make its voice echo from the distant
hills Next came the ride on Crystal lake to
the delight of both young and old until night

that she will take the lead among

ing America to coaling station on

1t is argued in Spain, contrary to
the fact, that Germany's commercial
interests in the Philippines are so
important as to justify her in inter
fering with the American plans at
Manila.
