February seems to have been the
month OF birthdays. February ~, 100
years ago. Longfellow was born.
Twenty years later James Bale opened
his eyes on England's isle, where he
grew to manhood and married. He
came to Michigan aud to Paw Paw with
his bride. he has lived among us, met
his victories and defeats in manly way
and come down to his 80th birthday
still young.
On that day few friends gathered
with his relatives at his home to do him
honor and offer their congratulations.
The frosts of years had whitened the
hair of many of the friends, but summer
was 10 their hearts. Jokes and jollity
went round until all were invited to the
dining room and seated-25 in number
around a beautifully decorated table.
Smilax and potted plants were used,
but the centerpiece, par excellence, was
the birthday cake, lovely to the eye and
the palate. Justice was done to a fine
dinner nicely served. after which selec.
tons were given from Longfellow' &
poems. differences and inspirations were
drawn from the lives OF the two good
men, whose lives have made glad SC
many.
Letters OF regret were read from some
| who could DOT be with the family that
day, and fine tribute was paid to the
strong influence OF good man by Mr.

cut much ice in New York.
In the much advertised Thaw
trial the jury failed to render a
verdict, seven holding out for
murder and five being in favor
of acquittal on the ground of in.
sanity. And this, too, in a case
where the family are not only promi'

dollars. Had the murder taken
place in South Carolina it is
doubtful if Thaw would have
even gone to jail.
