Miss Celia Spooner says she is by name but not by nature . Nevertheless she sat in a car on Lake Michi- gan beach down in Muskegon all last Saturday night , because they were stormbound . Just because she at- tended a sunday school class in the Nazarene church it grew to large proportions . But a certain prominent man's 12 year old daughter desired to come into the class and Celia the Tammany tiger , Celia the control- ler of the young people's machine said to the minister : ' If you put that girl in our class I will leave and break up the class . ' So Celia left and took all the girls with .

Don Wilson has come to Mears to be station master and Mrs. Wilson is tacking down her carpets in the Frankfenton house and will uphold the social dignity of the station agent's wife according to standards set up and established by Mrs. C. B. Tucker . And Faith Wilson , their dear little daughter 11 years old , has her cuteness emphasized by the uncovered pinkness of her knees . And so the Wilsons always have Faith in Mears . She makes you think of Verla Sayers . Entered as second - class mail matter August 8th , 1914 at the post- office Mears , Michigan under Act March 3 , 1879 ,

Alberta Nelson was gone to town and her mother was gone to coulier's when Peter Nelson put a stick of pine wood in the stove and forgot to turn the damper . Then the sparks rained down on the sun - baked shingles and the smoke choked Peter Nelson when he ran up the little ladder with a bucket of water . So Alberta Nelson's cabin in Weare burned utterly even to the ground . And now if you want to see how cute she looks since she bobbed her hair and joined the flappers you must follow the winding river - bank road northeast of Hasley's mill pond till you come to the last cabin before Gooseneck Alley and there you will find Alberta making new blue dresses with red roses and green cord sashes and getting her house ready for parties , and oh isn't life wonderful ?

PALMITER'S PERISCOPE

The P. M. brakeman was enjoying a little nap be- tween stations . The salesman from a Wisconsin cheese factory opened his sample case , stuck his fin- ger into some over - ripe limburger and applied it to the lip of the sleeping brakeman . A little later the brakeman yawned a bit and stretched out his arms , and without opening his eyes yelled loudly : " The next station is Montague ! "
