The . high school auditorium as filled that night almost as well as It had been the night before, when the first production was given. To a large' number ot those who attended on either Thursday or Fri day evening, "Mr. Bob" was perhap. a good deal of a revelation, giving to the member, of the caste an op portunity for the display of talen' whose presence had been unexpected And, to say the least for them, the young people took full advantage of the opportunity preaonted. There was quite a pleasant llttlr story to "Mr. Bob." "Bob" waa tho nlcknamo Mis. Katherine Rogeni had for her friend, Marlon Bryant. Miss Rogers and her cousin, Phlllr Royston, were living with their aunt; Miss Rebecca Luke, 'ml Royston had taken It for granle.1 that "Bob" Was his fair cousin's suitor. Robert Brown was the clerk of a law firm and had In his trust a missing will : which Miss ltebecca Luke wanted ivciy much to find. Miss Rogers war (expecting her friend. Mr. Bob, to ar rive for a visit; Royston w antic ipatlng the arrival of his college !chum,'and Miss Luke had an an pulntnmnt with n Mr. Ilrown, an 'architect, who.' was to -build her a room for her cats, which were a hobby with her. This gave - grea' possibilities fur a oilx'up all around 'and that Is precisely what happened When Brown, the. law clerk. arriveC to hand over the missing will, Jcuklns.

John S. Jenkins, of Baker, were visitors if La Grande the latter part of the week, on a somewhat belated honcv moon. Mr. Jenkins, who returned fionl the- service about ten day. ago and hi. bride, are highly eluted,over the surprise to which they have treated their Baker fi lends, and which the Baker Democrat of Friday morn ing lust tells about as follows: Distinctly the brightest and most notable social event of the season oe curred -last evening at the home ot Mrs. Hnttic Olsen, when her daughter, Klsie ; Marie, one of , Paker a mos' charming and talented young women, was announced as tho bride of Sgt. John E. Jenkins, one of Baker's rising young business men, who returned home last Thursday from military rvice in France with the CM Coas Artillery corps. The bride', home was beautifully decorated in pink and white, and tht wedding presents were profuse and elaborate as well as beautiful and use ful. Only the relatives of the bride and groom, including Mr.. A. L. Robbins of Portland, sister of the bride, and r few intimate friends were present. An elegant wedding supner was served when the young married cou ple supposedly returned from the parsonage. During the supper the happy groom was called upon by the guests to give a toast to the bride, and being a gift ed public speaker, Stvgennt Jenkins responded with alacrity, but ver briefly when he said t "My dear people, I raise my glass and drink a toast to my bride of 20 months. We were married at Port Townsend, Wa.h., July 27. 1917. shortly before 1 sailed for Franca, by the Rev. Walter ' Bishop Bell, and I now submit our wedding certificate for your "inspection." Needless to say, relatives and friends were for a moment speechless with surprise, and then pandemonium reigned supreme while the guests and equally surprised relatives of ' the bride and groom showered them with congratulations and called them "Voting renegades," "sneaks," and other mock reproachful epithets pro vokert by "camouflage'.' that has re maiiu-d the well-guarded secret of Mr ano .Mrs, jcnicins inr xnese man;- months.
