EAST LAKE CHURCH
IS PAPERED FREE
Peculiar Case of Mistaken
Identity Arises
JOKE is ON SOMEBODY
Paper Hangers Sent to Do the Job
Get Into the Wrong Building,
But Go to Work Just
the Same.
JOKE IS ON SOMEBODY

Whether 1t was the hand of Providence
or the irony of fate that papered one
third of the East Lake Baptist church,
is the question that is puzzling the
ladies of that church. For several months
the Pastors Helpers have been raising
money, with which to paper the Baptist
church of East Lake Yesterday after
noon on going to the edihce to a religious
meeting, the ladies were greatly sur
prised to find that a large part of the
church had been papered. Later in the
day it leaked out that it was through
one of these unfortunate mistaken iden-
titles that the ladies are indebted for the
aid they have received in carrying out
their plans for identifying their church.
certain large wall paper firm is now
bewailing the fact that its paper hang
ers could not tell the difference between
d Presbyterian and Baptist church.
Yesterday one of the large paper houses
of Birmingham sent out four paperhang-
ers and the necessary material to re-
paper the East Lake Presbyterian church.
The interior decorators not being familiar
with the location of the churches of East
Lake, pulled their wagon up in front of
the Baptist church and without asking
any questions, unloaded their paper and
paste and at once plunged into the task
of papering the interior of the edifice.
AS is usually the case the workers pur-
sued the work with great speed.a About
noon they woke up to the fact that they
did not have sufficient material to finish
papering the church.
The leader of the paper hangers went
to the nearest telephone and calling up
the manager of his firm said:
81 surely have good joke you. You
came out here and took the measurement
of the Presbyterian church and now the
paper you sent out will only cover about
one-third of the church. Send us just
double the amount we brought out this
morning. Now, l guess that is one on
you."
what do you mean?" asked the man
at the other end of the line. been drink
ing again, or are you trying to spring a
joke? The Presbyterian church is on the
righthand side of Underwood avenue"
my Lord said the paper hanger, 1.-THE
church we have been working in is on the
lefthand side"
II guess you had better come home'
said the boss, and his words at that time
were not intended for the ears of the fair
telephone operator.

American Union of Swedish Singers,

old Freya society, which later became
the Swe dish Glee club, held by many to
be the finest male chorus in the coun-

active in the musical world.
Born in Smaland, Sweden, his birth
place was not far from that of the
famous Christina Nilsson. The two

In 1866, when % years old, he came to
America, settling first in Belle PLANE,
this state. The next year he moved to
Minneapolis. Here he pursued his trade
as stonecutter, devoting his spare time
to music and choral work. The rebuild
ing of Chicago after the big fire Of
1878 attracted him to that city and it
had since been his home.
After following his trade for some
time, he exchanged it for mercantile
occupation, being first engaged in the
clothing business. This gave way later
to laundry, to which was added a
shirt factory. In this venture Mr..
Olson was most successful and altho not
a man of wealth, he was recognized as
a substantial citizen. Probably Mr..
Olson attended as many Scandinavian
sangerfests as any one in the, country

The Need Of Caution.
A year and half ago President Mel
len knew that he must electrify at least
q part Of his system. The New Haven
trains are brought into New York over
some twelve miles of track that are a
part OF the Harlem system, and these
are to be electrified in common with the
electrific alton of the tracks Of the New
York Central for some ten miles north
of the Grand Central Station. Mr.. Mel
len made haste slowly, altho his de-
cision after he had been well informed
came With characteristic swiftness and
emphasis. For many months he, and his
