Avery avenue, were given surprise
party Thursday evening in honor of
the twenty-third anniversary Of their
wedding Twenty couples were pres
ent, including Mrs. Wheeler's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Wild, and sister
Mrs. Merrill.-Det. Tribune.

but few days since Mrs. Wheeler

here with Mr.. and Mrs. Wild.
The concert given by the Crawling
Cornet Band was a success unsteady
and financially. A large and appre-
ciative audience listened to pro-
gram which in itself was sufficient
evidence of the wonderful progress
which they have made, and it was
rendered In manner that would
have been creditable to a band Of
greater age than our own. The
writer has heard bands In many
cities and considers their work equal
to that of the average band after
years Of training.
The entertainment in the lecture
course by Fred Emerson Brooks. last
Friday evening, was we'll attended,
and thoroughly enjoyed by all, as
attested by the undivided attention
of the audience. Mr.. Brooks, known
as the California Poet, recites his
own verse, with dnely modulated
voice and magnetic delivery, chang
ing from grave to gay, and carrying
his hearers with him In every mood.
In dialect aud as an impersobater,
he is well nigh perfect, and the re-
peated encores held hin, for over
two hours. The two closing poems,
@The Miracle Of Canaan" and @Pick-
ett's Charge at Gettysburg" seemed
better than the first, though adverse
criticism could not attach to any.

Our Grayling Band boys on Wed
nesday of last week again gave US an
exhibition of what they can do In the
way of making music, and l was
very much pleased TO notice decided
gain Ia their work. One who Is n.y.
percritical could without doubt flnd
mistakes they made; but when we
understand that the boys are new to
the business and have had only about
five months OF training, It Is difficult
to understand how they could do
much better than they did.

the balance of their lnstrumen tation
and especially the very good work
