adjoining their lovely residence and
the above date was set for that oc-
casion Early in the morning the
folks from far and near began TO
make their arrival, and by nine
o'clock the spacious grounds were
filed TO their utmost capacity. Each
vehicle was ladened down with every
soon the whole atmosphere was fra
grant with the delicious stew being
made ready in numerous pots, pans,
etc. While the good cooks were pre-
pairing the good things TO eat, those
not engaged otherwise were amusing
themselves in various ways, some
playing croQuet and others outdoor
games too numerous to mention,
while at different intervals delight
full music was dispensed BY Miss Belle
and Louis Edwards. At about 1880
O'Clock the good tidings were con-
veyed TO the happy crowd that din
ner was ready, which signal was
promptly answered by all repairing
to the heavily burdened table, not
forgetting to bring a well sharpened
appetite, and after thanks had been
returned by the Rev. Mr.. DoZier the
good folks began to replenish that
aching void which only such a menu
could satisfy. To enumerate the
good things there We're would con-
sumo too much of your valuable
space, but to say they were there and
to spare would be expressing il very=l
tamely. After dinner was over the |
good folks returned to their various |
amusements until quite the middle |
of the afternoon, when the spacious 7
table was again called into play. |
This time delightful ices were served. /
and from then until the jolly crowd /
began to disperse for their different l
homes watermeIons and cantaloupes |
were ever waiting for those who are /
fond of such fruit. To say the day 4
was most enjoyable one would be /
expressing it feebly. The hospitality /
of Mr.. Storey and his charming wife +
is too we'll known TO need any COM /
ment from the writer, for certainly /
they did their utmost in making the /
day one to be remembered. Not one I
event transpired from babes in arms
to those who have passed the bet
ter part of life could be complained +
of. For surely there there were
those of all ages, sects and creeds.
So after a most delightful day the
crowd reluctantly bid their genial
host and hostess a happy good day.
and many were the expressions that
the time might not be distant when
another such picnic could be en-
joyed. Occasional.

no uncertain tones the imminent danger

passed without dissenting vote. This
city. he said, was the 454th in forty-five
states to adopt these resolutions since
January /. 1905. when he began iectur-

greater navy to maintain peace.
Judge Wilbur was chairman of the
meeting, and after the lecture he was
assisted by Gen. Robert Wankowski
and Gen. Frank c. Prescott In receiving
with Capt. Hobson at the entrance to
the auditorium. Many paused to shake
hands with the lecturer.
Resembles Bryan
Many striking points were brought
out in his discourse by Capt. Hobson,
whose oratorical mannerisms are not
unlike those of the great commoner,
point which he sought to emphasize
throughout the lecture was that
strong navy for the United States did
not mean lf-aggrandizement, but
rather worldwide peace.

for her institutions, but for her life it

When the second letter appeared
Friday II contained a complete descrip-
ton OF the missing boy who had given
his fathers name, said that he lived
in Canton and had been at Battle

consent of Chief Favour to show his
wife and daughter and with the UNI
Outstanding, according to the police,
that he should return the letters this

1t was prepared in six duplicate
copies and Mr.. Walker would add abb
solutely not word to 1t, keeping his
own plans to himself as well. 1t was
learned, however. he proposed making
the northern trip alone and intended
to start on the Owl tonight.
Detective Given Warrant
This morning a detective sent to
secure the two letters failed to get
them. At noon Mr.. Walker was
reached by Chief Favour by telephone,
promised to leave the letters at the
hotel desk and hung up his receiver
hurriedly. Still the letters were not
forthcoming and this afternoon De-
tectlves Shultz and Coping were CIV

At the time of young Walkers dis

ward OF 800 for his son.
In April there was rumor that Mrs.
Walker had received letter from her

JEFF'S LITTLE GAME.

They were telling an interesting little
political story out on the street this
morning in which one Jefferson e.
Brown figures very prominently. Jeff,
it might be stated, was strictly opposed
to the saloon element in all of his deal
ings in the constitutional convention
and saloon men throughout the county
are waiting for jeff with stuffed club.
They promise that what they will do to
him will be plenty and jeff has got
wise TO the fact that the saloon
men are after him. 1t is claimed by
the saloon men that jeff promised them
one thing and then did another, but
whether or not this is true the fact re-
mains that jeff was strictly against
their interests and they propose to do
what they can to him. Now, as to the
story, it is stated that jeff has taken it
upon himself to associate his name
with VIII Wagensel and that he has
gone SO far as to even promise deputy
sheriff job to one man if Wagenseil is
elected. jeff figures that if he could
tie up to Wagenseil he will control the
saloon vote and thus work both ends Of
the ticket WagenseiPs friends, on the
other hand, claim that Will is not tied
up to jeff in any manner and that any
election promises he may make will not
be hOnored by VIII Wagenseil. So
there you are.--Port Huron Daily Her
aid.
The above is not the only promise
jeff has made. Foxey jeff claims to
be reforme- and is opposed to the Re-
publican organization making promises
in advance of election but yet he wants
to win on just such game BE con-
sistent old boy.

CUT TIE CIGARETTE.

The stand taken by large corporations
and business men generally, against
employing men who are addicted to
the cigarette habit is lesson the young
men of the present time should profit
by. The boy who expects to be any
thing of Importance in the world must
eschew offensive, vile smelling cigarette,
for though small M size, it is powerful
in action, and can pull down a young
fellow quicker than anything else he
may trihe with.
1t is a fact that there is no habit more
disgusting or offensive to the average
man than that of smoking cigarettes.
1t marks the young man who INDUCES
i'm it as nothing else will, and he is
avoided and repulsed by decent men
generally. To have it said that a GER.
tain young man is cigarette smoker
places him practically under suspicion,
and it will be difficult work for him to
fight it down Socially, physically and
financially, the cigarette is ruinous, and
there is no wonder that war is being
waged against it. The young man who
is wise will cut it out as its use can
only be source of regret to himself
and his friends
