SPRING CHICKENS ON
MENU FOR THE GUESTS
Hearty Welcome Was Given
the SeIf-exiIed Hoosiers by
the Host and Newton Coun-
ty's Population.

Brook, Ind, June 25.-Great corn
weather prevailed in the George AIDE
belt of Indiana today, but all the suns
that ever blazed on the Sahara could
not have kept the Indiana Society of
Chicago, that noble body of Just
across the line" Hooslers away from
frolics of the Shicago Hoosiers in exile
Hazeldon, two miles east of Brook.
Today was set aside for the summer
frolis of the Chicago Hoosiers in exile
and George AIDE asked them to Hazel
den. They accepted the invite with
rediness that made the farmer-play-
wright look with eyes of pity on his
hen house. He saw the finish of the
inhabitants thereof
At II o'clock this morning there
pulled into the little station at Brook
special train loaded to the hat racks
with happy singing Hoosiers come
back to their native heath for a day
OF frivolity and food. Brook and it's
u,
AIDE, was there with bells on for the
Homecoming. Automobiles and carry
alls from every town and farm for
miles around had been drafted by host
Ade to carry his guests to Hazelden.
$50 Fried Spring Chickens.
Hereabouts everybody does every
thing George AIDE asks them to, for
they like the sunny son who has tack
fame on local geography. When
George says he needs help, Brook and
the fold around get ready to work.
And they worked with a vim today.
George got home from New York only
yesterday, and there was much to be
done to make the big party a success.
So all Newton county got busy. The
ladies' aid society of the Methodist
church at Kentland, hurried over and
fried four hundred and fifty regular
Indiana springers, and when they
were all fried they presented a sight
that would have made southern COL
ored camp meeting commit larceny.
While the women were frying chick.
ems the men oiled up their automi-
biles and spattered axle grease on their
carryalls. The Hoosier Chicagoans,
five hundred strong, tumbled into the
arms of Brook and Brooks George.
1t was welcome with a ring in it.
The whole train load was piled into
the conveyances and hustled the two
miles to Hazelden.
Picturesque Scene on the Lawn.
When the cars swung into the drive
ways of the beautiful home of Hoosier-
dom's hail fellow a cheer from the
guests could not have been restrained
with threats OF dynamite. High in the
trees there floated Old Glory, and dot
ting the broad lawns were tents and
tables galore, all indicating that there
was to be something doing at Hazel
den. Judge Henry Vinton. of LaFay-
cite, had hung the flag and acted as
general superintendent of construction
all around the place. George has a way
of depending on his judicial friend
from Lafayette when there is work to
be done. The judge bossed the hands.
Therefore. the flags and the pictures
queness of the lawns.
y
One contained souvenir cards of Haz-
eled. The Chicagoans have asked
George for a souvenir card tent. There
were tents for sideshows, shooting gal
leries, refreshments and primping. and
it was all free "doins." They even had
dressing tent for the fellows who
brought their bathing suits for a swim
in the Hazelden pool. an inviting con-
crete plunge that is filled with spring
water heated to a pleasant tempera-
ture.
- "And AIDE Is a Bachelor"
Over in the grove was dancing pa
vilion erected by Mr.. Ade for this oc-
casion. The lawns and the gardens
were in the pink of condition, and the
invading Hoosiers and accompanying 2
dispensers of adjectives-the women
made the rounds of the place before
pausing to begin on the fun of the
day.
"And just to think" the fair invad-
ers of Hazelden would say, George
Ade is bachelor"
wouldn't this just be lovely for
some nice girl?'
81 wonder why he never married.
Miller's Band. of Chicago. came down
with the invading party, and soon had
a flood of jubilant melody on tap in
front of Hazelden house At the same
time George Ade and John T. Nc
Cuteheon, president OF the society,
got busy shaking hands and introduc-
ing folk who hadn't met There were
many stick-to-the-old-home Hoosiers
present to meet the exiles. and Ade and
McCutcheon did the Introductory hon
