into service. The home proper was at
Buckeye and where the cuisine was
prepared and the people fed. Of

effort was put forward for the comfort
and amusement of the strangers. As

comfort for sleep. Supper, the first

Dreamer and Son of Neptune and a
fine conclave was in attendance. Mon

the day was passed most happily ana
with great enthusiasm. Everything
that could be done in the way OF cour-
