The Yale expositor., 1905-02-17

quickly thrown open and everyone told
to enjoy themselves. After a short
social session the floor was cleared and
the younger members pressed the gen.
ial violinist, John Jurden, into service,
who furnished dance music that every
one enjoyed. We speak from exper-
fence when we say that as entertainers
John Carney and his estimable wife
are gilt edge and we trust they may
both live long to welcome their friends.
Friday evening bevy of young and
old in response to invitations extended
moved to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Deering and helped them well
come home their daughter Mamie who
was some time ago married to Mr.
McCabe, of Detroit. Games, dancing,
ETC., was INDUCED in by the guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. McCabe occupied the
position of honor and received the
warm congratulations of their friends.
At an early hour Saturday morning the
reception broke up, all voting the eVe-
ming an enjoyable one.
Early Monday morning Paddy Bren-
mans corner wore an animated look re-
sembling in many ways corps of Rus
sian infantry after Jap dash, in fact
there was such gaudy co-mingling of
blue and red that they say "Bashful
Mikes" nerve gave way and he tainted.
They were going home from the party
at Carney's, and when in front of Ken
dall's the team took q hand and in
turning the corner they also turned
the box. o, the anguish, it was awful,
she cried in accents loud; 30 take me
home to my fathers house, and blind
fold that there crowd" OF course
there was no damage done.
Talking about sleigh loads and their
funny antics reminds us strongly of
story that drifts down from Yale, end
ing three miles north Of Emmett. The
plans were laid in Yale to surprise
newly married couple west of Brock
way. and "A double boxed bob was Sc
cured, into which piled strange mix
ture. Drug clerks, kitchen mechanics,
''angels'-both of the wireless and the
good old standard kind-canners, coun-
ter jumpers, sweet girls to-be graduates
and, in TACT, they even had a devil"
but lacked first class compass adjust
er, as incidents of the journey reYealed
When the conveyance crossed the
Brockway bridge is where the compass
went wrong, for instead of turning
west they went straight south, pulling
up at the State road before they knew
where they were at. Here his satanic
majesty dismounted but soon discover
ed that he was in the wrong pew, and
directed that the back track be taken,
all reaching Yale at two O'Clock next
morning after most enjoyable dance ?
The fallacy of the practice OF letting
children play with matches, pipes, ETC.,
was we'll illustrated at happy farm
home lust north and east of town the
other evening, when the largest (and
he's no pennyweight) in the house lay
down with pipe in hand, for his after
noon siesta, and hereby hangs a tale.
Now, whether Chet fell asleep or not
is a question in the face of the strong
circumstantial evidence in support of
the theory, yet the fact remains
that all at once the couch "was mass
of roaring flames and beneath the ele-
ments waxed tiercely," and the tug of
war began. Those who saw it say the
gait was something awful. That the
way that couch was charged reminded
them more of the siege of Troy, or DIR.
Pollock when speeding his Oldsmo bile
on a summers evening. Why, in less
than ten seconds said couch was on the
road and the hero was taking stock !
of damages which he has inyentoried
as follows:--l couch valued at-leave
that to the girls; blisters, j ?-P /!
AS the blisters cover both hands he
finds it hard matter to estimate dam
ages, and who can blame him?
