U. W., twill hold a meeting February 12th to discuss tho disposition of tho property which tho lodge has accumulated during its long period of existence.

Thl3 moans that tho narking between the sidewalk and curbing would bo widen ed five feet on each side of tho street Some who havo put In curbing object to this on the ground that the old curbing would need bo torn out and replaced with now'. This expense however, would not bo as great as tho additional flvo feot of paving should tho street not be narrowed.

Phono Tho Tribune. Keith Theatre Every Monday and Thursday WAJiULiU i n . Jonny Wright was. botwecn Uie nges of sixteen and twenty, tho hollo of tho village. Whon Jduny was ulnotoon thoro woro oven ohancos hotwoon Arthur Perry and Ilorhort Angell. Among tlio laggards Kd Do Forest's show seamed tho poorest. Now, Jonny Wright's bunch was con sidered tho liveliest that had over bcoir known at nuntorvTllo. Thoy woro constantly playing pranks on ono an other, nnd never was thoro a ouso wherein tho powon victimized failed to tnko his or her medlclno good liatured ly. Then, too. thoro wero driving, Ash ing and swimming parties In summer and skating and coasting parties in winter. Ono day when they wero together nt tholr headquarters, which was Jenny Wright's home, ono of tho boys com plained that thoro was, as ho express ed It. "nothing doing," which meant that amusements wero lacking. Ono of tho girls proposed that thoy got up a mock elopement. Tlio Idea caught at once, and different plans ot procecduro wero suggested. Of courso Jonny must bo tho feminine part of thoelopo meut. That went without saying. But who was to bo tho mascullno part , of it? Naturally at this point thoro camo a halt. None of tho girls cared to noml nato a fellow to elope with Jenny. No fellow would nominate himself nnd cer tainly wouldn't nomlnato any ono else. Jenny, ot course, was not In a position to choose. What made tho matter of more Import wns that Arthur Perry and Herbert Angell wero pressing each other In a mad eliaso for her favor, which was supposed eventually to mean her hand. When It looked ns If tho mnttcr would have to bo dropped for want ot a selection of an doping groom Arthur Perry, who felt moro conlldcnco in hla chances for being chosen to bo eventu ally Jenny's real husband, suggested that Jenny herself mnko tho choice, but that it be kept a secret between hor and tho fellow sho choso till tho elopement had taken plnco. Sho was to notify tho party of her cholco, nnd ho wns to run nway w'lth her exactly on the stroke of 0 pf tho town clock. At 10 tho bridal party wns to meet at Ganger's, a hotel nnd roadhouso nt Hil ton, flvo miles distant, whero they would all congratulate tho bridal cou ple nml then sit down to a supper. The suggestion wns at onco ndopted by all tho party except Jennjj, who was finally won over. It was not consid ered certain thnt sho would select the man sho would chooso for a husband, but It was supposed that sho would. Snngcr was -notified to havo a suppor ready at half past 10 for a party ol twelve on tho evening appointed fot tho eloponiont. The girls very nearly woro out Jenny, each ono tensing hot to glvo her tho namo of the prospec tive groom. Jenny proved to bo ada mant ami kept her secret. Among the boys n pool wns mado as to who would bo chosen, with Arthur Perry favorite, nerbert Angell next, and n fellow named Jcmlgan received odds as dnrk horse. There wero a fow othet scattering bots on various fellows Johnny Stcvona would havo nothing to do with tho pool on tho ground that it wns a blind game. "No fellow," ho said, "can over form,nn intelligent opln ' ion ns to what a girl is going to do." Tho elopement wns held up for a week by tho weather, which was stormy, and this tended to Increase tho Interest In tho prank to tho boiling point. Even tho girls got to betting candy and flowers and gloves. Jenny said sho couldn't sco why thcro was so much excitement about a matter that was all for fun, btlt her words had no effect to still tho babel. Tho night of tho elopement havlug arrived, tho wedding guests assembled nt tho house of one of tho girls, white a motorcar stood at tho door. Since it was desirable that tho groom should not bo known before reaching Sanger's. It had been arranged that tho girls should go together, tho boys separate ly and each ono by himself. At half pust 0 tho girls boarded tho car which was driven by Miss Checsmnn, Its owner, and set out for tho rendezvous. On reaching Sanger's they found all tho boys there, nnd whllo tho girls Wero being handed out of tho car by them up camo tho runaways. The mascullno part of tho couplo was not Perry or Angell or Jerulgnn, but a horso darker than tho last named and ono who had not been suspected of having any chnnco whatever, llo was. Edward Do Forest. - v, Ho handed Jenny out of tho car with tho bearing of ono who had not been selected to enrry out a bit of fun, but with an air of proprietorship. When all had alighted and gone Into tho ho tel drawing room tho boys and girls ndvanced to congratulate the couplo. Do Forest raised a hand, and there was a pause. i "Girls and follows." he said, "1 havo a surprise for you. Thcro has been uo elopement. Jenny and I havo been engaged for some time, and wlh her and my parents' consent we wero mar ried at her homo nt 0 o'clock this evening. Wo aro ready to accept your congratulations as a real brldo and groom." Tho two favorites in the raco wilted. Tho others with great gusto began the pump hapdlc uct, Perry nnd Angell finally falling Into line. Then camo tho merriest suppor that over occurred nt Sanger's.
