Her opening selection, "Carmlha

Merry Widow" With stunning cos
tunes and delightful manner, Mile.

ter singer. did not don the kilties which
were promised, but sang her part OF
the program in a very handsome and
effective afternoon costume, Her num-
bers included Bonnie Sweet Bessie"

voice is of wide range, and in the mid
die register is particularly sympa-
thetic, but the lower tones are rather
too harsh and almost masculine.
Miss Helen Byron is announced as

her customary sprightliness and verve,
winning rounds of applause after her
songs. which were "Love." from Ser

the attention of all young men to the
fact that they are welcome at the gen.

and eight years later, when the
country was thrilled by the discov-
cry of gold in California. he was
one of the adventurous spirits who
left Immediately for the west.
With numerous other "49ers''
he sailed from New York City, and
went around Capt Horn in bark
the only motive power of which
was sails. The journey consumed
six months and seven days.
Mr.. McCaughna remained in the
west until 1855, and laid the foun-
dations of competence in the gold
fields. When he returned to the
east he went directly to Burns
township, this county, and there
carved a home for himself out of
the virgin wilderness. On that
farm, one of the finest in the eoun-
ty, he lived for half a century. Af-
ter the death of his devoted wife
four years ago, Mr.. McCaughna
moved to Owosso to spend his last
days with his children here.
OF the seven offspring six still
survive the pioneer: Col George b.
McCaughna and Mrs. Theodore
Euler, of Owosso; John d. Nc
Caughna, who is merchant at
Novesta, Mich; DR.. r. e. Nc
Caughna and Mrs. Peter B. Bilhorn
of Chicago; and Miss Kittie
McCaughna of Los Angeles, Cal. T
Mr.. McCaughna was a promi-
nent mason, and one of the Oldest
masters OF the state, having been as
the head of Byron Lodge. No. so,
forty years ago. He was a member
of Howell Chapter, Royal Arch
Masons. The funeral will be held
under Masonic auspices Friday af-
ternoon at 1:30 from the Euler
residence, Mr.. McCaughna having
made his home there since coming
to Owosso. Rev. C. H. Hanks will
officiate.
Mr.. McCaughna was represen-
tative of the best of his class:
The sturdy pioneers who wrestled
with nature as it had come from
the hand of the Creator; who
fought the wilderness and subdued
it.; who drove out the savage and
the Wild beast and made peaceful
and comfortable homes for their
children and their children's chill
dren.
He was simple, sincere. and hons
est in his dealings \with men;
shrewd, honorable and loyal to his
friends. He found the world
good place to live in, to work in
and to strive in; and he and his
type leave the world richer and bet

Horace A. Ellis of Shiawassee Town
ship, Has Narrow Escape From
Serious Injury.

Horace A. Ellis, we'll known farm
or living in Shiawassee township, had a
narrow escape from serious injury
Monday. Monday afternoon Mr.. Ellis
started to this city with load of logs.
AS he turned from his farm yard into
the highway in front of the house, the
load of logs slowed around suddenly
and he was thrown off striking upon
his head and shoulders. Partially
stunned by the force of the fall, he got
up only to fall unconscious across the
sleighs.
Luckily for him his wife happened to
he looking out of the window and saw
him lying there senseless. He revived
Immediately, but was compelled to
remain indoors for day or two.
Aside from few bruises and consider
able pain at the first, he apparently
escaped further injury.

Haven't You Felt That Way?

Haven't you often worn goggles of blue
And seeing lifes sham and its shame,
Felt it was all big scramble, and you
Might as well get into the game?
That nothing much matters but big
bunch of cash,
And the man who was good was a jay.
And the whole blooming country was
going to smash;
Haven'tyou, haven't you felt that way
Haven't you felt it was hardly worth
while
To try to live up to your best2
And haven't you smiled cynical smile
And something way down in your
breast
Whispe, ed Life had a prize that was
higher than gold
And sweeter than fame or display?
And the faith that had slipped took a
brand new hold
Haven't you, haven't you felt thatway?
And didn't peace come near that was
far
And urge you to strive toward it still ?
And didn't you turn your face to star,
And didn't you say: II will"
And weren't you stronger, and didn't
you find
The world was better; and didn't it pay
To be brave and patient and CHEEKY and
kind;
Haven't you, haven't You felt thatway2 ?
