40 years of some members of the family.

Miltimore family, their home being in
Chicago, III. August 2Oth being the
29th wedding anniversary of the worthy
host and hostess, very pleasant day OF
"reminiscences of old times and friends,
were INDUCED in. One of the pleasing in
cdents of the reunion was mule ride,
by % of the party, to West Con.
cord where a day of social festivities
were had at the fine home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bazin. The pair of mules that car
ried this party, by the way, were very
fine large pair, and cost Mr.. Tatro a cool
$1,000 down in old Kentucky. The fes-
tivities closed with an old-fashioned
dance at which all the members of the
family took a part, the eldest Of the
party being over 60 years-having passed
DR.. Osler's age limit-but no one would
think of chloroform who saw him that
night. The music for this old-t time dance
was furnished by some of the members OF
the family-several being expert must
clans. One brother was absent from the
