TWENTY-FOUR TODAY

This is Lefty Clark’s birthday. He is twenty-four years of age. How our good looking assistant has succeeded in remaining single until now is more than we can tell. Lefty is some good fellow. He can pitch good ball.«. Knows all of the professional ball players. He can play pool, sometimes, and can write sport stuff like a veteran, and also has the reputation of being a card shark. Everybody loves Lefty and joins the editor in wishihg him a thousand returns of this most pleasant day. Lefty says the day was so beautiful, pleasant and bright in commemoration of his consenting to come to this lowly foot-stool of the Alrtighty almost a fourth of a century ago.

Mrs. Van R. Grant returned from Chicago Monday evening after a visit at the Presbyterian hospital with Mrs. John Eger. Mrs. Eger is reported to be improving rapidly now.
