Another Filenrimase
The pilgrims (B and L, wended

riving at their destination at 9:30
in time for Sunday school at the first
M. E. church where they enjoyed a
most interesting half hour by listen
ing to a lecture on the temple build
ing by Solomon, and the present con
dition of the temple site; having
traveled there for several months,
rnd having photographs of the place,
the lecturer gave us first hand in
formation, such as we never had be
fore. Then followed the preaching ser
vice, which was a sure uplifting and
inspiring hour. The question asked
in Job 11:7 was answered in the
nagative, for the present, but we
selia 11 know hereafter, "who it is to
trust and obey." The afternoon was
ppent at Arbor Jodge, which is
worth anyone's time to go and see.
Arriving at home by the way of
I'nion. Weeping Water and Manley,
we felt tired but were repaid for the
trip.
Have Fine Time in Chicago
One fine summer's morning late in
the year of 2719 B. C, two dashing
young bucks, being full of vigor and
vim as well as pre-war stuff, let their
minds drift to thoughts of women
and wine. On the slow evening
freight they took their journey to
the fair city of Chicago where they
arrived a few hours later. Here Ed
ward Brainbridge and Carl. Spend
danz decided to disquise themselves
as young flappers and enter the young
womens seminary of that place. Due
to their natural grace and pose it was
no difficulty at all to pass as girls
at the school where they were read
ily accepted. Very luckily they were
allowed to room together. They were
very popular among the co-eds and
by virtue of their popularity and ir
resistible charm and beauty they were
always called upon to settle disputes
which arose among the young ladies.
Also tliey were very popular among
the young men who called at the
place and much in demand for danc
ing, canoeing, motoring etc., and
created much jealousy among the
other damsels. One day as Carl was
out canoeing with a handsome young
man whom he had come to love, a
storm arose and upset their sturdy
craft when they were several miles
off shore. Carl upon seeing lhat ihs
suitor was drowning arose to the oc
crsion end, kicking off his petticoats
seized ths young man by the hair and
started for the shore. Great was his
surprise when, the hair cane lccse
