surprise on his wife last Saturday
evening, it being their thirteenth wed
ding anniversary. Having sent her to
town on an errand, the table was set
for an elaborate ten-course dinner at
which covers were laid for seven. The
guests were concealed up stairs and
at a given signal took their places at
the table. Mrs. Mahammitt noticed
that one guest had not arrived and
asked who it was. Just then a “Mrs.
Jones” was announced. This proved
to be Mrs. Anna Bums, of Jackson,
Mich., Mrs. Mahammitt’s sister, who
had come for the occasion.
