most interesting facts on the sub
ject, proving that Mrs. Rogers knows
how to handle subject given her
for a paper. Juvenile Courts" was
the topic treated by Mrs. Florence
Wilson and was very instructive and
comprehensive, full of interest, awak-
ening new thoughts on the subject in
the minds of her listeners. These
papers are well worthy of the print.

ments with social hour brought the

Walter w. White of the Herald had
birthday anniversary Friday. He
Though little of the fact, however. He
had had other birthday anniversaries
and nothing out of the ordinary" came
across" so it was not to be expect,
ed that Walter should expect any
thing nor suspect any one, but when
he went to his home for the evening
meal he walked into he midst of a
lively company gathered together in
his name. Nor was that all. Rev
j. NJ. McClelland. pastor OF the First
Methodist Episcopal church, with
which the young man is closely asso'
ciated, made talk befitting the oc'
casion and presented some things
that will bear witness OF the date and
the events of the evening. Ordinar
lily Walter is a pretty fair talker him
sell, but on this occasion, outside OF
u visible attempt to respond, he could
mot make an expression. Then al
turned to and enjoyed a three COURSE
dinner and other features of the even
ing. Mr.. White has frequently beer
concerned in affairs upon others, bu
this Is the first instance where the
others had conspired against him.
