John Culbert was genuinely sur.
prised Wednesday evening by q COM
pany of friends and neighbors, men,
ners of the Degree Of Honor, inshonor
of his 31st birthday anniversary. he
He was sent down town on an errand
after supper and held captive by a
friend at whose home he supposed
Mrs. Culbert to be, and when the
guests were assembled, that lady tele-
phoned him to come to the friends
home after her at once, by the way Of
their own home, and bring an article
she had forgotten. Suspecting moth
ing, John and his dissimulating friend
at once proceeded to Johns home and
after unlocking the dark house and
entering, his surprise at the sudden
flashing up of the lights to see the
rooms filed with people can better be
imagined than described. The even
Ing was spent in a royal good sociable
time with cards for those inclined,
concluding with supper of a host Of
good things daintily prepared to which
all did full justice. III ust as souventc-
of the evening the guests left with
Mr.. Culbert set OF fine gold cuff but
tons and box of fragrant Havanas,
and all present departed for their
home with the wish that John 8 BIRTH
day might come oftener.
