extraordinary family, told like a

was George Du Maurier, author Of
"Trilby'' and Peter Ibbetson;" his

"A couple of the boys we're all wet
last week and that's literal trans
1ation of just what happened. The
lads who took an unheralded
ducking into the spring-cold water
Of Birch Lake were Larry and Jim
Cooper and the Cooper dog. 1t
seemed that the dog was the whole
trouble. It was a duck boat they
were ducked out Of curiously
enough, and the boat was being
towed behind a launch. It was
steam boat around the bend and
the boat lurched nearly tossing the
pup into the drink. Jim made a
heroic dive to rescue the dog, and
over went the boat taking the
boys for a spill fully dressed. They
were dressed for a picnic.

OF course there Is q point

I'm getting at, and I've based
my observations over several

but these youngsters coming
up are the interest getters.
You can see how futile it is when

just as great, for there are tennis
