Miss Mary Spend Pleasant Evening OVER A HUNDRED AT CORNROAST Telegraph Family Has Heaps of Fun Yesterday on Mc Connick's Island The few stars that did their timid best to throw a little IlKht on thlntis lust evening hud lonir since gone to bed behind the clouds when the "lust boot" from McCormlck'i Island slid acrors to tha Udward street landing. And If you had been hanging about any place from which to hear (above the other vocal dlMturbuncvs) what the folks on the crowded boat were saying you'd have heard this one Kriavlnir murmur, reiterated and re reiterated: 'Too bad! Only the weather man failed to operate!" Otherwise the annual "cornroast" of the Telegraph family was a greater success than ordinary. More than a hundred employes of tho Telegraph wore guests of E.

J. Ktackpole, the president, and the party had a real picnic time of It as Ion us the weather behaved. The tables were spread under the trees on the site of tho playground camp. All afternoon the fires burned and the ears of corn roasted under the able direction of Danny" Williams, and two asslHtunts while In an adjoining tent "Jim" Wil son grinned and watched tho colTee boilers while "11111" llrown stood by with ladle and cups to get ready for tne big rush. Sometime before 4 o'clock the first boat landed.

V. Grant Forrer, assist ant park superintendent, was there to help the Telegraph family committee or arrangements while the Rev. E. Snyder, Mrs. Snyder, Mrs.

Forrer and Miss Forrer who had been camping on the Island for a week, had celebrated the arrival or the "Family by decor ating the tables with masses of wild flowers. And from the time the boat touched until the last boatload Ac. parted Superintendent Forer 'and the committeemen hardly stopped for bite to eat. Lots of things might be mentioned of the cornroast. For instance the demise of "Buck" Ewlng's straw is story In Itself; the fact that "Rosie McDonald had enough corn or said he had is another incident worthy of note; "Bob" Bernheisel did some good chaperoning and entertained later at the neither Ogelsby, "Jim" McCullough nor Stelnmctz did more than look their disgust when who started away without an overcoat, held up the last boat to th island while tho wife and himself searched through the garret for Frank's coat.

The only other real thrill that "Jim" McCullough experienced perhaps was on the way home. The "Chief," Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Ogelsby, Mr. Mc Cullough and some others decided to do a little of the roughing It stuff by loafing 'round the log fire after the main party had departed.

They stayed until it rained. And as the single toller at the oars of the little row. boat that carried the later wayfarers home, the Susquehanna's gentle waves lapped playfully over the gunwales. Whereupon "Jim" got his thrill. "Say, Lawrence," he Inquired, "can you handle a boat?" The oarsman doggedly panted away with his half ton load.

He nodded. The Susquehanna slipped a couple of quarts over Jim thwart. 'Taln't so very deep In here, though. Is it?" finally asked Mr. Mc Cullough.

"Eighteen feet some places!" said the oarsman. Thus, the final thrill. MJSS LEADER ARPRESSES THE MISSIONARY SOCIETY A delightful hour was spent at the home of Mrs. C. H.
