P. Jos. Stelpfiug returned home ON
Wednesday from Milwaukee from a
very enjoyable visit among relatives
and friends. This was his first visit
there in five years and the relatives
were surprised to see him as ne had
not notified them Of his intended visit.
He thought to surprise his brother,
Henry, first and got off the train at
the Layton Park station and made a
bee line for Henry's home, intending
to walk right IN on Henry, but the
surprise was the other way. Henry's
wife surprised Joe at the door. Wis
iting around among numerous other
relatives during the five days in the
city, he did not get much rest day or
night. Entertainments kept him
busy and with nothing to drink but
ginger ale. After drinking few
glasses of the ale he soon found that
he was drinking ginger ale highballs
quite famous iii Milwaukee. His rel
atives were delighted to see him and
they made his visit a pleasant one,
not soon to be forgotten. He arrived
home via Chicago, and is resting ZIP
and puzzling his head how to make a
ginger ale highball (Tell Joseph
the principal part is to get the main
component.-Operator)
