WHEN THEY WENT BACK HOME
Humorist Records Some Surprises
That Attended tho Occasion OF
Popular Celebration.

During recent Old Home Week in
an upstate village the following
neutrality-suspicious." were
in attendance:
John Wilson Clarke, who was al
ways too lazy to do the chores, came
up from New York in his big seven
passenger car. On account of press
ing work he could stay but a few
hours.
Ex.Gov. silby Kirkwood, who was
naturally thick-headed and half-baked
n his youth, stopped over in his pri-
vate car to see his old home.
DR.. Willis G. Dyer, one of the best
known surgeons in the country, called
the town fool when boy, dropped In
and left enough money for a town
library.
Miss Caroline Jensen Atwood, too
stupid to learn in the old red school
house, now a popular authoress and
playwright visited her relatives.
Charlie Druke, the spendthrift, shut
up his Wall street Office long enough
to attend.
One Of the most noticeable features
Of the whole celebration was the alb
sence of the men and women who
gave much promise of originality and
worth during their youth.
Lack of memory In their old age &C.
counts for the fact that not one of the
old fogies present ever said anything
but good of ANYBODY. including the
successful boys present.-Don. Cam
