BIRTHDAY cELERRATIoN.

here was Something; DOING in
Delaware1 THURSDAY of last week
When thes members OF the st. Paul
Lutheran church gathered to cele-
brate the thirty-eighth birthday Of
their pastor, Rev. H. j. Kettler. The
event was complete surprise, to.
the pastor and his family who had
beer kept in ignorance of the fact
that a birthday party was contem-
plated. So well had the members
guarded their secret that the minis
ter was unaware Of their plans until
almost all OF the guests had arrived
at the parsonage. Taking advantage
OF the pastors temp po.rary absence
from the parsonage, practically the
whole congregation took possession
of the premises unbeknown to him.
When the latter returned at noon
his attention was attracted by a num-
ber of obiles, lined up in front
OF the parsonage. Arriving at the
parsonage, he was amazed to find
the members Of almost his entire
flock assembled there, who greeted
him with birthday fluctuations. Be
sides an appropriate present, a purse
Of $25 was handed to the pastor by
Mr.. VIM. Maurer, who accompani-
ed this act by a few well chosen
remarks which the minister respond
et: with a short address to the COM
pany by congratulating the congrega
ton on their success in guarding
their secret to surprise him and by
expressing his thanks for the pres
ents handed to him as a token of
esteem. u f5. &! +
After partaking Of bountiful dim
ner, served by the ladies of the cen
gregation in the spacious parsonage,
a dinner such as the coed ladies of
the Delaware congregation alone
can serve the afternoon was spent
by the company in pleasant inter-
course and various amusements. All
went home in most happy frame
of mind after their afternoons enjoy
ment. x. x.

ATTRACTIVE STORE FRONTS.
The new and modern store fronts
installed by e. M. Hughes and W. Z.
drew are certainly a credit sto the
two business men who have shown
the enterprise to make these improve
ments. The windows afford the most
convenient and conspicuous places
for the display Of goods. Not only
does 1t afford an excellent opportu-
nifty to display goods, but adds ma.
terially to the attractiveness OF the
business district OF the city Visitors
from a distance are frequently heard
to REMARK about the notable change
in appearance Of Manchester's busi-
ness houses. Messrs. Hughes and
Drew are to be complimented upon
the part they have taken In beautify-
