Wescott "Victim" of Gentle Conspiracy Last Evening at ''Sunnyside." From Wednesdays Daily. Since the organization of the Young Men's Bible class of the Methodist church sixteen years ago, E. H. Wescott has officiated as the teacher and to the members of his class he has been both a leader in the class work and a close and high ly esteemed friend and comrade, and to the members of the class and the teachers the meetings have been fill ed with pleasure as well as inspira tional thought. Last evening being the regular meeting of the class. Mr. Wescott re paired to the church building at 7:30 to assist in the "sing" and the regu lar meeting and was rather surpris ed to find but one or two of the young men in attendance and these seemed rather in favor of calling the meeting off and going on back'liome. After some discussion it was decided that the class members must have decided to seek a cooler spot and Mr. and Mrs. Wescott, the latter being the musical director of the class, de cided to go on home. On drawing near "Sunnyside," Mr. Wescott noticed several cars in the vicinity of the house but was as sured that tho neighbors were hav ing guests and it was not until he started to enter the home that he was "wise" to the plans of the mem bers of his family and friend3 as the jolly crowd rushed forth and gave him a hearty greeting and more than carried out their plans of a surprise. The evening was spent on the lawn of the home which was most attractive after the heat of the day an dMr. Wescott, whose birthday was being observed, was the center of attraction from the crowd of young men, some thirty in number. A poll of the crowd developed the fact that the aggregate weight of the class was 4,500 pounds and the ag gregate age of the "bunch" as 91fr years, so the Y. M. B. C. is some large and healthy organization. To add to the enjoyment of the crowd Miss Edith Mays of Wahoo, a guest of Rev. and Mrs. Pfoutz, gave two most charming vocal numbers while Mrs. Wescott at the strenuous urging of the class also gave two of her always delightful selections, the guest of honor presiding at the piano. Refreshments of rich, red. Juicy watermelons was served during the evening and the members did -their full justice to the treat prepared by. the family. During the remainder of the even ing the time was spent in social con versation and the singing of a num ber of the old familiar songs and last but by no means least, at the home going hour the guest of honor was given a thorough roughing so that he would appreciate the passing of his birthday.
