her lady friends for ride on the f. J.
& S. r. r. Monday afternoon. We
were dropped off in the woods with
a forest all around us. After de
lightful journey over brush and logs,
across streams and other scenes
one finds IN such places, includ
ing large snake and what fol-
lows such sight among women, we
found our way back to the starting
point with our baskets from which
tho sweet trailing arbutus was peep
ing out. and was pleasantly surprised
by the hostess serving delicious con-
fectiOnery. We arrived home tired
but happy with pleasant memory Of
the day May the twelfth.-One Of the

Porto Rico and Cuba. The program

their habits and their homes. also the
work of the missionary was well
brought out. Mrs. Grigsby gave the
foreign work in a very pleasing talk
in her usual happy strain. Miss
Violet Grigsby and Mrs. Lou Otto
rendered instrumental solos and Mrs
5. A. Bush vocal. Refreshments
served.
Why it is true that suspicion and
some degree of hostility has seemed TO
exist on the part Of the public towards
and railroad manipulation
and management can in part be ex-
planned by reference to one fact re-
vealed through recent official inves-
tigation. 1t cost the Chicago & Great
Western railroad $4,000 mile to
build it's road. yet for that which was
provided by the $4,000. bonds to the
amount Of $4,000 were issued. 1t is
not strange that railroad so capital
lied would find it difficult to pay III
tertst and its ordinary legitimate
expenses. That the same state Of
facts apply to more than one Michigan
makes 1t possible for Michi-
gan people to recognize some railroad
which heretofore may not
have been fully understood.
