Gathering At Linscott Home

AT the Miles L1nScOtt nome near
! Elliott, Sunday, Oct. 10, were eel
ebrated the birthdays of Miles Lin
scott and Mary Newburn. About
SO of the neighbors and relatives
were present, bringing baskets OF
dinner, which the women of that
community know so well how to
fill. Mrs. Oliver Miller baked the
birthday cake, which was white and
decorated with pink candles. At the
last of the dinner the candles were
lighted and Mary and Miles were to
blow them out. But Miles with one
terrific Whit had all SO of them
| out before he could be helped. They
failed to surprise their host-sO he
said. He had unmistakable signs
the day before. He was requested
to cut an oversupply of stove wood
on Saturday, and vigilance was ex-
ercised to see that he got his whis-
kers driven back out of sight. That
Miles was not completely surprised
did not dim his enjoyment, and he
tried to make everybody else happy.
While the women were clearing the
table, he entertained the men by
reciting some of his excellent poetry
which he had composed on special
occasions in times past. In the af-
ternoon when the women's conver-
sation lulled as it does once in
great while, he sang songs to enter
tain them-one of which had 80
verses
