and literary treat at any future date.
—At the home of Mr. W. J. Law
rence, Monday evening was given a
delightful lawn social by the Misses
to their many friends and
associates of Laporte. Large lights,
flowers and evergreen decorations
added beauty and art to the green
lawn, which was graced with wick
er chairs and seats. Although oblig
ed to resort to the parlor# of the
house tai-ause of the storm, yet no
pleasure was lost, for humorous
games, guessing contests, jokes, mu
sic and songs kept a continual and
hearty laughter, known only to a
jolly concourse of young people,

The Philadelphia Inquirer of Mon
day published a two column cut of
Miss Ina Osier showing her in ' .ie
act of holding a fugitave priso .er
captive on top of a fence wl re
she caught John Kirk, who "s
--caped from the jail several d ys
ago while plumbers were at work on
the jail and neglected to give it pr..per
care when going out. Miss Osier
seeing the prisoner running from the
jail started in pursuit, caught a firm
hold on him and clung on like a
porous plaster until assistance arriv
ed. Miss Osier is now figuring quite
conspicuously in the press for her
bravery and prints her statement of
the incident as follows:
"I reached the fence just in time
to catch hold of his leg as he was
about to drop down on the opposite
side, and 1 hung onto that leg like
grim death. I knew if my bold
loosenened lie would escape. I was
a little frightened when he threaten
ed to kill me, but I was determined
to hold onto him until help came,
lie reached down several times and
struck me in the face and threatened
to kill me if I did not let go, but I
held fast until assistance came."
Two young ladies who are attend
ing the Summer School were doom
ed to remain in the town of Laporte
over Sunday. <>n Saturday after
noon they saw their landlord start
out equipped with fish pole and
basket and without waiting for an
invitation Misses May and Bessie
took the opportunity togo fishing
and started for the scene of encounter.
They cast their line and sat by the
water's edge waiting long and
patiently. At last a bite came ; it
was a bass and it was pulled out in
triumph. By and by there was a
pull on the other ladies' line, she
hauled it up, and horror of horrors,
there was a cat fish. Then a lively
scene took place. Both were afraid
to take it from the hook. At length
the last mentioned lady summoned
courage, wrapped .her hand iu the
folds of her skirt and removed Mr.
Cat Fish. After debating long and
earnestly on what to do with it they
finally made a basket of a hanker
chief and entombed the future break
fast therein. After eating heartily
of it they were unable to get to school
early Monday morning. * *
