SURPRISE GIVEN
GUY SINSEL

a very beautifully appointed and
successful surprise party was given
Guy r. Sinsel, the genial host at the
Traders, by Mrs. Sinsel Saturday
night in celebration of the thirty
seventh anniversary of his birth
day.
Mrs. Sinsel had arranged with the
members of Uniform Rank No. II,
of Grafton, of which Mr.. Sinsel is
member, to be present. Nineteen
members in Pythian uniform came
up on the evening train and were
shown the sin@hts Of the city by DIR.
Holden until the supper hour passed
at the hotel, and then they filed into
the dining room and stationed
themselves Just inside the door. Mr..
Sinsel had been detained in another
part of the hotel by the ladies until
all the arrangements could be per-
fected and then he was induced to
90 into the hallway to show some
friends his Pythian uniform, of
which he is quite proud. As he
stood in front of the dining room
door the latter was suddenly thrown
open and he was amazed to behold
the visiting knights saluting him.
So surprised was he that it was
some time before he recovered him
self sufficiently to return the salute.
He saws he never was so surprised in
his life and he certainly did look
and act it.
