The Leap Year Party.

The ladies gave their Leap Year
dancing party at Woodman Hall last
Saturday evening. As entertainers
they proved their superiority over the
sterner sex in every way. OF course
their was a good sized crowd in attend
ance, and everybody felt foolish trying
to act unnatural. The boys had to act
very ladylike at all times and any
breach of the rules was punishable by
fine of five cents-and many fines
were paid into the funds of the club.
A fellow never knows how hard it is to
sit down and act Mica until he has to.
The boys we're all very quiet and or
derly-they HAD to be. In fact we
thought at times the floor managers
we're to strict. About the time fellow
the middle of his back to rest here
would come floor manager and make
him straighten up in very uncomfort-
able position and pay the regulation
five cents. We could not so much as
60 to the ante room to smoke. Yet we
can't kick much. While they were
very strict in making us act like perfect
ladies they did the the square thing by
us when IL o'clock came. Dancing
ceased and they selected their partners
and then was brought in one of those
elegant lunches that only good cocks
know how To prepare and here is
where the boys were allowed to act
natural for the first time during the
evening, and they were not SLOW in
taking advantage of the opportunity.
They ate every thing in sight--or
rather ns much as they coud hold
Financially and socially the party
was a success. The ladies made so
much money out of the affair they
promise to give several more dances to
use up the ,urplH, coin.
The ADDITION to the orchestra of Mr..
Hearde, the MINSTREL man, with the
trap drums was u pleasing feature and
was highly appreciated by all.

One of the reforms which Count!
| Treasurer Forbes Robertson ha
| brought into effect In the conduct o
! county affairs is that of advertisini
for bids in redeeming bonds. In fore
ing this change, he met with the OPP
position OF the board OF county audi
tors, hut succeeded. with the aid OF
the press, in carrying his point.
Last winter the board redeemed q
number of county bonds at par. Rob
Crtsoh was aware, from his personal
interest in such matters, that these
bonds were selling below par on ac
count OF the financial stringency. He
discovered that the county could have
MADE d saving of $500 by buying the
bonds in the open market and, in con
sequence, refused to sign the papers
In the deal.
There was hot fight and II was
finally agreed that county bonds would
be redeemed by advertisement here
after at the lowest price obtalnable.
Robertson's record guarantees that,
IL elected county auditor, he will see
that this and other reforms are car
ried into effect.
Both as soldier and as a public
official, Capt George c. Waldo has

week. Waldo was elected county treas
urer TO fill vacancy four years ago,
and served some months in that po-
sition. Since then he has been deputy
county treasurer and has assisted
Forbes Robertson materially In the
latter's admirable administration OF
the Office. AS captain of Company NJ
OF the Thirty-third Michigan, Waldo
