Stole Reputation.

1t was the latter crowd. according
to Mr.. Coats. who stole from him
his greatest asset in life-his repu-
tation as an engineer. They set out
C. get" the man who had spoiled
their plans and placed their fellow
sChemers behind the steel bars.
These men worked quietly, but ef-
fectively.
Results were certain,
Mr.. Coats completed his Grand
Rapids contract but when he sought
to get work in other cities he found
that his services were no longer in
demand The old graft system had
no place in it for the honest man.
Several times ne came near landing
large contracts only to have them
given someone else at the last min
ute
Gradually he understood!
That was years ago. but the man
who had been big enough to go TO
the public and expose those who
sought to loot the public treasury,
was up against a system which had
no mercy
There was no place open for him.
Gradually he gave up the uneven
fight. Ten years ago he returned TO
Grand Rapids and spent much time
in that city. The fact that he had
protected the interests Of the tax
payers. he discovered. had not made
him the friends he expected.
There was no welcome extended .
the engineer who had uncovered the
steal"
Friendless and almost penniless,
Mr.. Coats came 10 Kalamazoo four
years ago He was discouraged.
Nearly every day he visited the
newspaper offices Of this city-the
men on duty there found that he
was a bright. gentlemanly old fell
low whose hobby was water works
systems.
They learned upon investigation
that he had installed the water
works plants at Kalamazoo. Ypsil-
anti, and a number of other cities
THE boys at the desks humOred
him and he wrote many entertaining
articles regarding this city in the
early days.

Graft Woven Into story.

when at the zenith OF MS career
when he drew a princely salary for
expert advice-often as high as
$4,000 a mOnth-he took the con-
tract to install a system of water
works at Grand Rapids That was
during the days when graft was the
luminary around which all city gov
ernments rotated
Mr.. Coats entered into the new
work with his usual zeal. He worked
hard night and day arranging the
details OF the big job which he con-
sidered would further increase his
fame.
Then one day he learned that
there was TO be a money consider
alton" for those in charge Of the
work. The politicians who had made
new water works system a POSSIBLE
ity had something else in mind be-
side the work-there was the itching
palm, the greed for wealth.
Mr. Coats heard the proposition.
he revOlted. He went TO the people
with his story. it was investigated
and as a result the Grand Rapids
water steal found its way into the
court records and some of the men
behind the plan found their way to
prison. But all those concerned in
the steal" were not caught. There
were those smooth enough 10 cover

P. A. Notes

Last Friday evening the Senior class
gave the annual Halloween masquerade
at Academy Hall. The hall was decorat-
ed in Halloween style and many spooky
corners enclosed witches, who foretold
the future. fish ponds, from which one
could fish all sorts of wonderful things at
an expense of only one cent, and booth
where delicious candy could be pur-
chased. The stage was converted into
dangerous chamber of mystery and hor.
rors and whatsoever entered therein took
their life in their hand. Many thought
less Adventures patronized these fea-
lures. In this weird crowd were all
sorts of people-some came over from
Japan and China, quaint Holland was
represented, convict escaped from Sing
Sing to make merry with some pretty
maidens from Morrisvile, few brave
soldiers enlisted in the throDg, Dinah and
'Rastus came up from Charleston with
their master and mistress, queer little
ellis and fairies flew in from iairyland, a
skeleton wondered aimlessly around,
clever clowns from every circus in the
country did their funny and were quelled
by stern policemen. In case of accident,
Red Cross nurse was at service and
graceful gypsies made you forget your
troubles. Two very distinguished gen.
tlenen from Fifth Avenue added style to
the occasion. Ghosts met you every
where.
Two prizes were offered, to the boy
and girl who best carried out their cos
tunes. Miss Lefa Nay, VIII was pol
ished gentleman from the old South, was
awarded one of these prizes and Gerald
Fay. pig-tailed Chinaman, the other.
The P. A. orchestra furnished music for
part of the numbers and the victrola
was used for dance music.
Probably the best part OF the enter
tainment Of the evening was farce en-
titled THE Ghost of Jerry Bender,
which was presented by Messrs. Warren,
Ellis, Silloway, ODER, Fairbanks, Mont
gomery and Cram of the Senior class.
This farce was played in true ghostly
fashion and much credit is due the fell
lows who took part in it. Many towns
people were at the hall to see this part of
the program.
Wednesday morning Mr.. Farman, the
blind chaplain of the Vermont Senate,
gave lecture to the P. A. students in
Academy Hall. This talk, based upon
the subject of blindness, proved most
and all those who heard Mr..
Farman most certainly appreciate his
wonderful ability. He demonstrated
reading by the blind and told much OF
the thoughts and feelings of himself and
those who are afflicted as he is.
Mr.. Reynolds visited P. A. Thursday
morning and gave short talk at the
chapel hour.
The girls basket ball team is being or
ganized and preparations are in progress
for Coney Island to be given by the
girls in the local gymnasium. This en-
tertainment is sure to be good and the
club is striving for originality in the
stunt. All kinds of unique side shows,
novelties and strange creatures will be
on exhibition. Details of this exposition
will be announced later.

comet pursued by chain-light-

as vanilla mousse and he is as
blue-blooded as the kings of
