Surprised Victor Yeoman.

When a man's wife sets out to put up a surprise on her husband she usually succeeds and Mrs. Vlc’or Yeoman turned that sort of a trick on her husband Wednesday. It was Vic’s 39th birthday and when a fellow gets that far along in life that a birthday is apt to slip by unnoticed except for tbe active recollection of a man’s wife. Vic had no thought of taking the day off for a celebration, but was peacefully pursuing life’s problem on the Union township farm. And his wife was scheming a coup that would assemble about forty friends and neighbors to the bouse to help him celebrate tbe anniversary of his birth. And It worked like a charm, and Vlc recovered from the astonishment soon enough to assure all the guests that he was glad they had come, and every one had a fine time.
