Mr.. Allin's life, and several met there
for the purpose of performing the OPP

animation it was decided not to remove
the leg az present, but the foot was split
open and an effort will be made to drain
the snakes poison out in that way, and
if it is successful Mr.. Allin's leg will
not have to be amputated. His friends
hope that his recovery will be sure and

PORTLAND EDITOR SAW
EVELYN NESBIT ACT

Edter Fred Mauren or Portland
went TO Grand Rapids to see Evelyn
Nesbit in vaudeville last week and
gives expression to his thoughts of
her in this way:
The Review editor was one of a
number OF Portland people who were
at the Empress theatre in Grand
Rapids Tuesday afternoon and among
the attractions was Evelyn Nesbit,
former wife of Harry Thaw, who does
a little song and dance stunt with
young man in dress suit, whose
name appears on the program as
Jack Crawford. We are quite convin-
ced now that Harry X. was crazy at
the time he shot Stanford White, for
Evelyn does not impress us as worth
the waste OF gunpowder, and spending
years in prison and the family fortune
for firing ii. She is no handsomer
and no more graceful than hundreds
of other girls who are following the
vaudeville circuit and except for the
fact that she was at one time the
most widely advertised woman in the
United States she would scarcely
prove a drawing card.

tends two broad ribbons. ON one of
them are the words Sons of Veterans

bordered with heavy gold fringe and
heavy gold twining cord loops from
the head of the staff coming almost TO
the other end. The stars are worked
on the blue field in the finest silk
floss. and the work was all done by
hand. With the flag was given
handsome patent leather stirrup.
The presentation was made for
Major Chase by Matt Kohn. In pre-
senting the beautiful flag Mr.. Kohn
said
Commander and Comrades of the
Sons Of Veterans:
"Our G.. a. l.. Post are glad indeed
that we have a Camp and Tent of
the Sons and Daughters of Veterans
with numbers 25 and of all the cities
of the whole State of Michigan.
You have conferred an honor upon
us as well as yourselves by thus tax
ing an early initiation in the great
work of National Patriotism.
You named your Camp after our
Commander without his knowledge
and in his absence and he esteems
it a pleasure and a privilege as an
evidence of his appreciation to present
TO you to-day this United States Army
Regulation Flag.
Our commander, Major Frank r.
Chase hopes to see this flag carried
by your Camp at every State Encamp-
ment of the G.. A. r.. w. r. G. and
Sons and Daughters of Veterans. as
for mutual benefit and assistance they
all meet at the same time and place.
This year they meet at Kalamazoo

"Should the time ever come when
our National honor is asailed we
know that you, Sons of Veterans, will
carry our flag to victory with the
same spirit and self-sacriicing devo-
ton that your fathers carried il from
1861 to 1865.
God bless and keep you from ever
being called TO Arms
Following the presentation the
Sons of Veterans extended thanks to
Major Chase and then gave three
cheers for him. They then laid aside
their former flag and substituted the
new one which was carried in the
parade Of the day 1t will always be
cherished by the members OF the
camp and treasured through the COM
ing years
