of the Epworth League of the First

last evening to attend the convention
at Gary. They took the interurban at

miles of Gary. they were stranded for
almost an hour, and then told that they
would have to remain there longer for
repairs to the car. They started out to
walk and reached Gary at $3.50, too
late for the exercises. On the return
home they met with the same difficulty,
and 1t was an early hour this morning
when they reached home none the
worse for the experience. The young
