"Don't you sup pose she knows?" asked the Pink Phlox. "Perhaps he guesses, but still we mustn't say a word," said the Myrtle. And then a lit tle girl named Melly walked by and on down the garden. "You see," the Myrtle continued, "it is fun to make believe everything is going to be a re at surprise. "She Decorates." Melly probably has a very good idea that she will have a birthday cake and a wreath, and flowers about the table, but still we like to all whisper and have secrets and pretend every thing will be a great surprise, and Melly likes it, too, that way. "I heard Melly's mother talking about it the other day," the Myrtle said. "Melly calls her mother 'Dolly,' you know. For a long time I thought it was her name, but it seems it isn't. It is a pet name Melly has for her mother because her mother is so small and dainty and pretty, like a lovely dolly, you see." 'I see," said Pink Phlox, nodding Its lovely head. "Molly's mother said that she had never missed a year in coming to this myrtle bed for us so she could make a wreath for Melly's cake. She picks marigolds, too, and that gives a lot of color to the wreath, for they do look like flowers of gold! "Then she decorates the birthday table with us and with you, lovely Pink Phlox, and Melly's auntie works tard, too, picking flowers, and everything. "When the morning of the birthday comes there are flowers around Melly's place at the breakfast table. Then there are flowers around her place at the lunch table, and flowers around her place at the supper table. "At about eleven o'clock in the morn ing the birthday table is put on the back porch, decorated with all of us from the garden. "For years and years they've used my family for the wreath. That is such an honor." "And we nave always come out Just in time for her birthday," said the Pink Phlox. "We liked to be called Melly's birthday flowers." "Oh," said the Myrtle, "there is such excitement. Melly is told to keep out of the way and she Is glad to do that, for she likes to have everything seem like an enormous surprise. "They will ring the bell for the birthday table at a few minutes be fore eleven tomorrow and then Melly will come along and will follow the procession." "Procession?" Phlox. "Certainly," said the Myrtle. "They will all form a procession, and the Dolly mother will lead it, ringing a bell, then will follow auntie, and Melly will take hold of her brother's arm and he will show her, with much bow ing and smiling, to her place. "Her chair will be decorated with flowers. You will see, Pink Phlox You will be there, too. "Then there will be the cake with the candles, and there will be poems. Oh, yes, every one will write a poem for Melly, and they will say much the same as they have every year, but that won't make it any less wonderful! "All of Melly's family will dress In old clothes, and they'll all be wearing lots and lots of smiles. You know there are some people who can't scare up more than one smile? You've seen them, Pink Phlox, with their little tiny smiles, oh, such stingy smiles I "But Melly's family have lots of smiles! The smiles will all be there tomorrow. "And there will be speeches, and presents, and the sponge cake, upon which the candles will be standing will be so proud, that it will get fine and light as a sponge cake should be. "But oh, while Melly loves her birthday. I don't believe she loves It much more than the flowers and myrtle of the garden. They simply love add ing then* beauty and sweetness in honor of Melly. Hush! We're off for the wreath now!" asked the Pink "Her Place." So 'Twas. "George Washington was the brav est man in the world," remarked the freshman to the sophomore. "He was never licked In his life."

Gluth home. r"J /liSsi There are two things that most people think they can do without any experience or preparation whatever: write a play, or write a song lyric. For some reason^ these things are considered easy to do, all history to the contrary, not withstanding. I mentioned this singular delusion to Neville Flee son, who is one of the most suc cessful lyric writers in the coun try today. "Sure, they think it is easy!" he said. "But you will notice that those who think writing songs is easy are those "Who never suc ceed." "How did you get into the game?" I asked. NEVILLE FLEESON Before he could answer, there were two calls on the telephone. Albert Von Tilzer came into the room, impelled by an inspiration, and a musical comedy prima donna appeared suddenly on the scene, and sang a number for our edification, Fleeson playing her accompaniment. After the excite ment subjfjded and we were alone again, nitjta. turned to me. "Where «fre we in our pow wow?" he asked. "That prima donna set my mind adrift," I confessed. "But, tell me, were you born writing lyrics?" "Hardly," answered Fleeson. "I was my class poet in high school, though. Long before that, how ever, I had picked out tunes on the family piano. Indeed, I wrote music first, but got away from it somehow." Then Fleeson sketched his ca reer rapidly. He was born ia Pittsburgh, Pa. His verses began attracting attention and money when he was a mere lad. A job as lyric writer Was offered him by Will Rossiter, of Chicago. He accepted. The craze for ball room dancing came along soon after and lured Fleeson into the ranks of professional dancers. He was having a lot of fun and being paid well for it. But meeting Florence Holbrook, the well-known vaude ville artist, again changed his MRS. SUGGETT MUST RETURN U. S. COURT COMMISSIONER ORDERS EXTRADITION OF CANADIAN. WAS ARRESTED AT SLEEPY EYE RECENTLY FOR A SERIOUS CRIME. Mrs. C. L. Suggett of Mirror, Alberta, Canada, who was arrested at Sleepy Eye some weeks ago, at the instance of Provincial Detective J. O. Scott of Red Deer in the same province, on the charge of having furnished instruments and drugs to women and girls of her home town for the purpose of committing crimes against nature, must return to Canada and face the charge of murder in one instance. The crime with which she is charged, that of furnishing the means to perform the criminal opera tion complained of, is of itself suf ficiently serious to be punished by life imprisonment in Canada, regardless of whether death of the victim ensues or not." 3! Extradition Granted. It will be remembered as stated in the Review at the time, that Mrs. Suggett was arrested at the home of a friend in Sleepy Eye, where she and her five-year-old son had ostensibly been visiting. Detective Scott claim ed that she was a fugitive from justice, having left Canada just before being indicted by a grand jury there, and he had documentary evidence to sub stantiate his statements. Subsequent ly, a hearing was held before United States Court Commissioner Howard S. Abbott at Minneapolis, ollbwing Mrs. Suggett's arrest on a Federal warrant, charging her with being a fugitive from justice. The matter was postponed until Monday of this week, when the request for extradition was granted and Commissioner Abbott ordered her Htw TTBn RogJWl, yew Uhn, Minn., TTiUpfWliT July 13, 1921, NevUteFleeson On Lyric Writing ,*«Hu'?P course* She persuaded!

Von Tilzer. of the fam* ous song-writing family, saw the vaudeville a/rt, "The Vocal Ver dict," which was the work of Neville Fleeson, and suggested to the author that they form a writ ing partnership. The pact was made, and Von Tilzer and Fleeson turned out such successes as "One For All and All For One," (writ ten for the Stage Women's War Relief and now the official song of the Actor's Equity), "Somewhere, Someone Is Waiting For Me," "Say It With Flowers," "Waters of Venice," "111 Be With You In Apple Blossom Time," and the music and lyrics of "Honey Girl/* the musical comedy sensation* At this point of OUT talk Al. Von Tilzer once more dashed into the room. He heard us mention! "Honey Girl." "Be sure to put In your article that Mr. Fleeson has the faculty of writing lyrics that mean some thing to the plot of the play and which carry the story along," he interjected, "That Is what lyrics should do and that is what few lyric writers do," Al. Von Tilzer had popped out of the room before I could reply* I turned to Fleeson questioningly., "Yes, I always try to tell a story in my lines, or put some sort of a punch in them," he said* "Just words without meaning many lyrics have Utile sense—*make me mad. I also try to visualize the song and singer together. And when called upon to write special stuff, I study the personality of the artist and endeavor to A certain type of song will surRt certain type of performer better than another, you know, and I make it my job to fit the words of. the song to the singer." "Sort of temperamental diag-t1 nosis!" I ventured to a at sounds difficult!" "Rather," agreed Fleesoa, Twit' I know something still more diffi cult." A humorous light shone in his eyes.

For days Barrie had ridden the lovely trail obsessed by a hunger for companionship which he had never heretofore known. Even the gruff, il literate guide, whom he had left far below, would now be welcome. And as Barrie traveled his lonely paths, he wondered If the clue which led him to this desolate spot might not be false after all. In a spirit of enthu siastic confidence he had offered his service in seeking out the supposed defaulter of the bank, in which his own father was president Detectives, It was proven, had been at sea in their suspicions, and Barrie, in a moment of inspiration, had put his finger mentally upon the culprit, and then had offered to take an ad venturous trip to the far mountains, where Glen Gordon was supposed to be hiding. Glen Gordon had served faithfully for many years in the bank where Barrie, under his father, was em ployed. And when Glen Gordon's name was furnishing the sensation of "city dallies, Gordon himself complete ly disappeared. As Barriers father—in a last hope of proving his old employee's honesty —had provided necessary bail, the flight was more distressing. But now Barrie feared that the clue, given by an old servant of the Gordon's, had been misleading, and his own offered tervice useless.' Then, far above in a clearing, the young man beheld a small cabin smoke came from its chimney, and Barrie eagerly pressed his horse for ward. The sight of human habitation was at least comforting. And as he approached, a young woman turned. At sight of her, Barrie's eyes reflected the astonishment of her own. Barrie broke the silence. "Beg par don," he said. "I have traveled far, without finding a resting place. May I rest here? And, perhaps, trespass further upon your hospitality in ask ing for food? A glass of milk or a piece of bread would be gratefully received." When she reappeared at the door of the cabin bearing a light table, Bar rie hastened to relieve her, carrying it at the girl's direction to the shelter of a tree. Sharpness was still in the air, and he would have preferred in doors. But when his enforced hostess rarne presently, she carried a basket of cakes and cracker-sandwiches and a pot of steaming tea. And as she served him, Barrie noted the soft whiteness of her hands. "It is unusually good fortune to en joy the hospitality of one of my own country women in such a desolate place," he said. The girl, with an enigmatical smile, ignored the suggested question. "When you feel refreshed you will kindly ride on your way," she re turned. "I'm afraid," Barrie said decidedly, "that before I do so I must gain that Information for \^hich I came. I am trying to locate a Mr. Glen Gordon, being the bearer of news to his ad vantage." Though the girl's face paled, her blue eyes regarded steadily the self imposed detective. "Mr. Gordon is not here," she "re plied. "You may search the cabin, If you wish. I occupy it alone." Barrie stared, then laughed incredu lously. "Alone in this wilderness?" tie 'ex claimed. "Now, why you do that?" The girl gathered up the tea cups. "I have answered you," she said. "You are the first living person whom I heard speak in two months." Over her shoulder she nodded to him. "Good night," she said mean ingly. &>*!.**?-*"*£• ir •vW^f r"* *i* Barrie did*not search "the cabin but when he was again upon a lower level he lodked up at the house in the clearing, and he saw the girl wave white cloth, giving with it three dis tinct signals. Then Barrie saw a man's tall figure—so the girl had lied, as he suspected. He rode on to intercept the man, and as the man came Barrie recog nlzed the one for whom he sought— Glen Gordon, trapped and frightened. The older man's ghastly face turned crimson as the young one, alighting, clasped his hands as the hands of a friend. "It's all right"—Gordon realized the young man's words at last—"I came to tell^you that we are aware of your innocence. I was lucky enough to hit upon the guilty devil, and he con fessed—Bains, your assistant. But look here, man why did you run away? You must have known that It would come out right?" ?%$$$ Inarticulate, tears rolling down his cheeks, Glen Gordon stood. Then he drew a paper from his pocket and wrote: __ "It was nerve shock lost my power of speech wanted to run away from the papers—the suspicion—everything. And Julie came with me—Juliet, my daughter. She was bound they wouldn't find me to take me back. So Tve camped on the ground, in the thick of the brush. But she said the truth would come out and ft has. Barrie, my boy, come with me up to the cabin—to Julie. We will all go back together." And as Barrie led the old man on toward where a girlish figure waited la the sunlight, he was thinking not of the success of his quest, but of the light that It was his to bring to a ftrPs brave blue eyes.

Mr. and Mrs. William F. Muesing, well-known and respected residents of New Ulm for many years7 were most agreeably and successfully surprised by a large number of relatives and friends at their home on North Franklin street, Thursday evening, the occasion being their 30th wedding anniversary. The evening was most delightfully spent in social conversa tion and a delicious repast was served. Mr. Muesing was born in Stadt hagen, near Krebshagen^ Schaum burg, Lippe-Dettmold, Germany, and left the Fatherland with his parents when less than a year old, observing his first birthday anniversary on board ship enroute here. The family located at Elgin, 111., for one year, then re moving to New Ulm, where they spent about six months before moving onto a farm in Courtland township. The following year Mr. Muesing's fjather acquired a homestead in Nicollet township, near Nicollet village, where the family continued to reside for many years. In 1885, Mr. Muesing entered Dr. Martin Luther College in this city, completing the four-year normal course, whereupon he graduated from that institution in 1889. The follow ing fall he accepted a position as teacher in St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran parochial school here and continued in this capacity for over 2& years. After giving up his profession as an in structor, Mr. Muesing entered the employ of William Ruemke in the latter's grocery store here, which position he retained for six years, until taking up his duties as shipping clerk in the big plant of the Saffert-Gugis berg Cement Construction Co. in this city nearly two years ago. Mrs. Muesing, nee Miss Louise Hain is a native New Ulmite. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Hain. During the cyclone, which devastated New Ulm in July, 1881, nearly 40 years ago, Mr. Hain was carried a distance of about half a mile, being rendered unconscious. After re gaining consciousness late the same evening, he found himself lying on a door from his home, but every other vestige of the house had disappered as if by magic. He finally located the members of his family, consisting of Mrs. Hain and their two daughters, Mrs. Muesing and Mrs. Henry Hell mann, the latter also still a resident of New Ulm. They were -unharmed, having sought refuge in the cellar of the family residence, while Mr. Hain attempted- to hold the door shut. About a year later, Mrs. Muesing, while returning home after having herded cows in the south end of the city, accidentally found an old tobacco bag, containing a number of gold coins. Taking them home, her parents recog nized the bag as one in which they had kept their savings, composed of gold coins. The bag must have fbeen carried away with the house ancfother belongingsof the family. &u F. H.

It's the High Cost of Dying in China A Typical Chinese Monument The Chinese bury their dead on the mountain side where the earth ^^f is dry and there is less danger of floods. The_ monuments are built Sfftf^fl along the highway to inform the f$m?§ public of the great men who have lived and died in the neighboring j^cs villages. A brief history of the dead man serves as an epitaph, and a tortoise or dragon, carved into the stone* symbolizes eternal life. Death is an expensive proposition for the Chinaman. Only the leaders of community life are honored by monuments along the highway.
