The Medford meeting was led by Al vin Wheeler and the one at Ashland by A. S. Mack.

The scripture lesson was a part of St. Paul's advice to Timothy, the latter being trained by the former to get into the game of Christianity. Many striking comparisons were made be tween Christian living and the varl- Saving Suggestions: In formulating a saving plan it helps Home when concrete methods are suggested.

Mr. Mack is one H of Med ford's best football players j and feelingly recalled the pleasure and pain of meeting the Ashland H team.

Mrs. Mack came up H from Medford with her husband and 8 during their stay in Ashland they U were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. C. A. M alone. Bachelor (Tub Surprised. A "stag" party was called for the Wimer Cove Apple House, Tuesday evening, to organize a bachelors' club or take some other action whereby further depletion of the ranks of the Young Men's Social and Improvement Club by the acts of Dan Cupid might be prevented, the recent loss of Claude Coon and H. G. But terfield by ma-riage having caused considerable consternation among the remaining members, the only comforting fact being that leap year ; will soon be a thing of the past. the boys were discovered holding hitrh linka nnd pn lovtncr thorn col vac ,FtrtW n - after the manner of mere men. The arrival of the female contingent caused great confusion among the would-be foes of matrimony, who abandoned the idea of a bacnelors' club with considerable relief and joyfully and hilariously proceeded to entertain the fair guests. There were games, stunts and all kinds of "cuttin' up," the slogan being, "Let joy be unconfined." In the absence of a chaperon everybody had so much fun they nearly died a-laffin. There was a sound of revelry by night, including carnival horns and college yells, while quantities of sweet cider and apples were con sumed, also several delicious cakes. Those present were: Misses Ber- nice and Wilma Charter and Theresa Branch; Messrs. Homer Elhart, John Rigg, Clayton Borror, Clinton Wright, Edw. Hadfield, Will Moor, E. O. Smith, J. B. Hunter, O. H. and G. H. Barnhill. Councilman Convicted. Responding to the kind invitation of Rev. Mr. Chisholm, of the Presby terian church, about a score of mem bers of that affiliation, including in vited friends, were guests of the manse last Tuesday evening, where they found in the person of the local pastor one of the most genial and hospitable of hosts. The meeting was for men only, among those present being Messrs. Calkins, Brower, Geo. Irwin, C. B. and H. R. Lamkin, Mayor Neil, McCoy, Sr., Werth, Smith, Tiffany, Grubb, Schofield, Wick, Schneider, Frank Murphy, Day, Allman and F. H. Johnson.' This masculine element was on frivolity bent, and in addition to games of various kinds, a mock trial was the chief event on the calendar, Councilman Irwin having been duly indicted for driving his auto at an excessive speed. Mayor Neil presid ed over the court, C. B. Lamkin act ing as prosecuting attorney. The defendant secured the services of Judge Calkins by hypothecating his car and family residence on Helman street to meet the exactions of a modest retaining fee. Dr. Brower preserved decorum as sheriff, while Dr.' Johnson served as clerk, and in the absence of the official reporter, Day kept the record. After lengthy arguments pro and con mostly con McCoy, Sr., and Schneider were excused from the Jury for cause, the former on account of being from Missouri, especially near the vicin ity of St. Joe, while the latter was beyond the pale and panel due to the fact that he was a German and a democrat, to all of which proceedings exceptions were taken. The jury as finally secured consisted of Werth, Schofield, Tiffany, Allman, Smith and Grubb. Werth served as fore man, and although a German, he produced affidavits that he had been acclimated. Contrary to all prece dent, the defendant was not allowed to plead, the judge ruling arbitrarily on all points of the case, both legal and unlawful. The testimony in gen eral was conflicting, the preponder ance going to show that Irwin was running his car at a speed not to ex ceed one mile in six hours instead of sixty miles in one hour. An old discarded steam gauge without even a dial was also Introduced as mute evidence in behalf of the defendant, he having improvised the fixture as a speedometer, thus perfecting the record, which only applied to a sin gle count of joy riding over the paved districts (see Breeze et al. vs. pedM Lasting Until Saturday Evening, Full Moon in November, 1912 Iron-Clad 25c Hose for ladies and children, three pairs 65c, five pairs $1.00.

Ashland Trading Company Warring Destruction Co., 32 Ashland, 4961). In view of much conflicting testimony, Calkins moved to strike, whereupon opposing counsel nearly came to blows, and a rough house was only averted by the interposition of an apathetic sheriff whose actions throughout the entire trial were on the bias. The argument of Prosecut ing Attorney Lamkin was a bitter and excoriating denunciation of de fendant, in spite of which the jury found Mr. Irwin not guilty. The judge, however, set aside the verdict, and summarily sentenced Irwin to serve six additional months on fhe city council, without benefit of clergy, although Rev. Mr. Chisholm offered his kind services in the dire extremity. This trial has developed much acrimony, most of it through jeal ousy of owners of rival cars, who as witnesses made some most astound ing charges and counter charges re garding merits of their respective machines. Singular as it may ap pear, a cat, an elephant, and a blind pig figured in this celebrated trial, as accessories either before or after the fact. As a test case the verdict will be carried higher up in order to settle for all time whether the evi dence submitted regarding the ele phant was relevant or irrelevant, it being taken for granted that under the circumstances it could not possi by have been irreverent. The end is not yet, ror in the round-up incident, to dispersal of guests at the midnight hour, there occurred a mysterious change of hats, with the result that probably another trial will be had in order to determine the rightful ownership of the mixed-up headgear.
