Michigan naval reserves We're lined up
on Woodward avenue to act as the
governor generals escort on his drive
thru the down town section of the city.
The party Immediately entered car
riages and amid the cheers of thousands
of American citizens the drive was
begun, Hundreds of American and
British flags decorated the buildings
along the route traversed by Lord
Mimic. who was visibly pleased by the
splendid reception given him.
The line of march led to Woodward
and Adams avenue and thence down
Woodward to the Russell house. AT
Grand River and Woodward avenues
the military escort came to company
front and stood at salute as Lord
Mimic drove by reviewing them. The
Fighting First" made a magnificent
appearance in their Khaki uniforms as
ICanada's governor general drove slowly
by them and saluted their torn flag.
The bands played God Save the King
during the review. The officers of the
first infantry We're presented to Lord
Mimic at the Russell house after the
luncheon, their business-lil khaki uni
forms making striking contrast to
the scarlet coats of the escort from the
Twenty first Essex fusileers, which ac-
companied Lord Mimic from Windsor.
1t was nearly $50 o'clock when the
Canadian visitors again drove to the
ferry and boarded the Vita for the re-
turn trip to Canada. Lord Mimic and
Lady Mimic. too, expressed themselves
as very greatly pleased at the warmth
of their reception. which they said
had never been exceeded in Can

FOUGHT IN NleHTeoWNs.
College Girls Resent Intrusion of Male
Students at Nocturnal Festivities.


st. Paul, Mimi, May IA dozen
youths, students of Ha1nline college
Tuesday night engaged in close range
struggle with the co-eds of the insti-
tuition, clad in night gowns, and were
compelled to retreat after they had
been literally smothered in girls and
pushed and pulled about in most
heartless manner by their fair oppo-
nents. With the girls wearing only the
scantiest of apparel, and the boys
decked out in Indian and tramp cos
tunes, the struggle was decidedly in
teresting one.
1t all arose over a nightgown ban
quet. The goods had been planning
for weeks to enjoy themselves in a
novel manner, and elaborate prepare
tons had been made. The dining room
of Ladies hall had been selected as the
scene of the affair, and tables had been
surreptitiously prepared. The great
est secrecy regarding the affair had
been maintained, but in some unac-
countable way it became known about
the institution.
Shortly before midnight the girls in
the scanty costume which had been
agreed on gathered in the lower hall
way of Ladies' hall and when all were
present, marched silently and in body
to the dining room. A sight really
shocking to the hungry co-eds met
their ayes. A dozen young indians

HuGGED THE GHOST.
Attendant at Seance Said the Spirit
Had Substantial Waist.

Indianapolis. Ind, May l4.-Several
spirits had appeared at the seance Civ
en- by Frances Ruddick at her home IN
North Senate avenue Tuesday night
and had given satisfaction. One had
appeared as the wife of one of those
sitting in the mystic circle, and had In
turn been introduced by him to his
daughters. A gas jet, turned low, was
burning dimly in one corner of the
room, and about the room in the neces-
sary circle With hands tightly clasped,
sat twenty or more believers. Around
them fitted the white clad ghostly Wis
itor.
Some of those in the circle shivered,
but one did not. This exception was N.
E. White. of Moran, Ind, who was
present 10 see how the thing worked.
According to his Judgment the ghost
looked sngularly real and earthly.
At last the crucial moment came. The
ghost of the wife retired to the cabi-
net and its place was taken by an al
legged ghost of Mr.. Whites grand
mother. He began to sob violently and
the figure drew near as II to comfort
him. Suddenly he broke from the cir
Gle and caught the ghost about the
waist-a most substantial waist, he
says. He called out for additional
light and the person in his arms be-
seeched, Don't do 1t, don't do it,
There was a scramble to turn on mora
light, and then complete darkness. for
someone had turned the valve key the
wrong way. II seemed at least five
minutes before the light was again
turned on, and meanwhile the myster-
ious figure had wrested itself from Mr..
Whites arms. All was confusion and
the visitors hastily decamped.

from carrying their fun too far Near
ly all animals know when there is any
monkey business afoot.''
This is what Paul Souders thinks
about animal sense. He came down
from Baraboo, Wis, the other day and
told a new yarn about one of the pa
chyderms. Altogether Souders has a
big bunch of the beasts under his eye
and can't see all that goes on; yet he
catches the animals at most of their
tricks. He has Il little trouble occas-
ionally with the other animals as we'll.
and he is a firm believer in the idea
that most brutes are born humorists.
one of the best-natured beasts in
the menagerie played joke on a bro
ther-in law of mine last Sunday that
made me red hot for awhile, but I've
been laughing at the incident ever
since" said Souders last week. My
relative had his best girl with him and
was rugged out in his finest. The ele-
plants had all been fed and dozen or

and ordered her separated from the
rest, which l knew would be heart
breaking for these beasts like to hud-
die together. and when one is taken
away they we'll know it is for punish
ment of some kind.
The hippopotamus doesn't look
much like an animal that can laugh,
but it can. One of my men got funny
with this ugly freak of an animal the
other day, and her ladyship taught him
a lesson he will remember for some
time. Punch is the name of this
beast. and she is very fond of bran

worried Punch by holding big
handful of these balls close to her nose
SO that she could get the SAVIOR and
then jerking the coveted food out of
her reach. Finally the ladyship lay
down in her tank and held her nose
close to the raised flooring at one end
of her cage, and when the keeper held
out the huge bran ball she pretended to
be Indifferent or asleep. The keep then
became careless and rubbed the bail
