Surprised John Borntrager On His Thirty-Third Birthday.

John Borntrager was 33 years of age Sunday and his good wife planned and executed a very complete surprise on him. She had invited a large number of friends to take dinner .at the house and had sent John to town to bring her sister and a young lady friend home for dinner. While he was* gone the guests arrived, put their buggies back cf the barn and carHed big baskets into the house. Just as John drove up in front of the house his wife called him to answer the telephone and he tied the horses and went to the house running right into a whole house full of good natured neighbors and friends. John was soon over the embarrassment and helped make the day a pleasant one and all did their share toward diminishing the large quantity of good things with which the tables groaned.
