A Gratifying Statement. Net Assets, $5, 962.37.
We call theattentioa of the stockholders t) the folio .vim sat
isfactory statement of the financial condition of the association.
A few years ago a large debt was contracted to buy the gronnds,
build the Amphitheater, water works and other improvements.
but by careful economy, and what
ment, nearly all this debt has been paid off and the balance due
will soon be liquidated.
We would like to have all the
holders in the Reunion Association. The shares are only one
dollar each and are worth today from $3 to $3. It is provided in
our charter that when the old Union soldiers are gone the pro
perty shall revert to tue sons of Veterans, and our boys should
all have an interest in Camp Logan.
Our Reunion grows larger year by year and Camp Logan i
every year becoming more valuable. The city and surrouudinf
country is growing rapidly, and the land is worth to-day almost
three times the price we paid for it. We will soon be out ol
debt and leave our children a valuable property and something
theyvwill be proud of.
Call on the Secretary, C. W. Daniels, and take a few sharer
of stock for your children. Every dollar received is spent foi
your comfort. Every stockholder has a voice in the manage
ment. Read our financial statement below:

Bushels of Spectacles.
About s year ago Rev. John W.
Chapman, the church's missionary at
Anvik, Alaska, called attention to the
Good use to which spectacles and eye
glasses, whose owners had no further
use for them, could be put Is helping
to improve and prolong the eyesight
of some of the Indian people along the
Yukon. He remarked In a semi-humorous
vein that he "could use about a
peck of spectacles.' That his appeal
went home to many is evidenced by a
communication Just received from Mr.
Chapman, announcing that up to June
26 three and a half bushels of specta
cles hsd reached Anvik from 153
frleuds. It Is probsbie thst for the
present at least the population of An

A College Love Affair.
BY B. 7. XKOMXS.
All the travel he had Indulged In,
all ths hard work, all the business,
absorption snd worry, sll ths great
affairs of life which hsd occupied his
time during the strenuous years fol
lowing his graduation from college,
had not erased from hla mind and
heart the memory of dainty care-free
Laura Tolman, his old sweetheart of
the college days.
He hsd suspected this before he re
turned to the old scenes; now that
he was here the conviction csms to
him with crushing force. Every
shaded walk, every leafy retreat,
every part of the old college build-,
lngs snd the campus seemed to be,
alive with her presence. As he
walked the old familiar paths he!
seemed to hear the mualc of her girl-,
lsh voice snd to catch the very aroma
of her sweet presence.
With s gross he admitted It he
hsd failed utterly In the task he hsd
set himself out to perform. He had
gone away that day when her en
gageroent to Bently was snnounced
determined to forget her. The strug
gle thst afternoon had been a hard
one, snd many times he hsd thought
of the river as the most peaceful
hsven he could find. Finally his
pride had triumphed, and, set
ting his teeth with that peculiar grit
ty motion the fellows on the grid
Iron knew so well, he had said to
himself:
"Claude Belknap, brace up. Where
Is the spirit of your forebears. Are
you to let a chit of a girl ruin your
life especially a girl who throws you
over for s fellow who is only after
her money?"
And so he had gone bravely swsy
with s song on his lips, but wltn
gloom in his heart He bad worked
hard, snd not without success. The
very whole-hesrtedness with which he
threw himself Into his work snd
which wss born of his desire to so
occupy himself thst he would forget
the laughing face snd saucy eyes of
his college sweetheart drove him on
to success. He had taken up s stren
uous profession, snd it had carried
him to many climes and into much
danger.
In the stress snd heat of the bat
tle with fortune he had flattered him-
belt that the old wound had healed,
and finding himself In the near vicin
Ity of the old college town, he had
rashly decided to revisit the old
scenes. Then like the rush of the tide
came the realization that he ever
would love the sweetheart of his
youth, wherever she was snd what
ever her condition or relationship.
The realisation frightened him when
the thought flashed across his mind
that she was the wife of another,
Heartsick with his own reflections.
he sought to escape them by calling
on Miss Carrie Sample, who still
lived In the -town, snd who hsd been
s great chum in the old days. He
was given so warm a welcome ss to
make him forget for the moment the
bitter pain in his heart The conver
sation naturally reverted to the old
college days and the old boys and
girls. Belknap had been abroad so
long snd so occupied with business
that he bad lost track of them to
considerable extent but Miss Sam
ple, having lived sll tbe years under
the very esves of the old college, and
being a gossipy piece, knew where
nearly all the old classmates were,
who they married, how they were
prospering, and all the other details
which so delight the feminine heart.
The conversation was animated and
extended, and Belknap for the time
being forgot hla heartache under the
magic of this clever snd friendly lit
tle woman. .
It wss when she dragged forth
from a sacred drawer a bundle of old
class pnotogrspns snd tnat he was
most painfully recalled to his great
sorrow.
"Oh, but do you remember this pic
nic we hsd," she exclaimed, shoving
a photograph in front of his very
nose.
Did he remember? The blood
rushed back into his heart st the
memory unUl he thought he would
faint It was a snapshot of s group
st s picnic. Ths girls adorned with
the boys' hats, snd the boys wearing
the feminine millinery. It wss just
outside sa spple orchard surrounded
by a high stone fence, over which but
kt a perilous height hung a bough
of luscious fruit In the very cen
ter of ths picture was Belknap, and
perched audaciously upon his shoul
der wss Laura Tolman, supported by
his strong snd steady arm picking
the apples snd throwing them down
to the laughing comrades below. Did
he remember that picnic? It was the
dsy when, maddened by the contact
with her dainty .self,' he had poured
forth his love snd then, frightened st
his own audacity, had stammered and
failed to ask the vital question.
Ths photograph brought back all
ths memories of the afternoon, and
aroused all his latent passion. As he
gased at it he felt the full tide of his
passion sweep through him until It
seemed that he must burst
Miss Sample chattered on.
We all thought you were awfully
sweet, on Laura Tolmaa,' she said.
-Really, we did. Ia fact, the whole
class thought it was a match, and
was all fixed ap. It was perfectly par
alysing when, after commencement
yos pi unfed Into business, and she
got engaged to that Bently fellow."
To cant always Judge about
these college affairs," he replied, with
at Has assumption of Indifference. "By
th way, whatever became of Miss
Tolmaa or Mrs. Bently 7"
rch, dear, didnt yos heeuT aha re-
gSsd, with a shriek of Isug&ter.
