August 9, 1900.--Our genial friend, ex-host of the Crozier House, G. T. Hatten, is better situated than some of his friends are, in that he has birthday presents to purchase only once a year, for Mrs. Hatten's birthday anniversary and that of their son, Merle, come at the same time, August 7th. In celebration of this, about thirty-five of Merle's young friends gathered at the Hatten home and spent such an evening Tuesday night as will be remembered for a long time. It was the 14th anniversary of Merle's birthday. Refreshments, ice cream, cake etc., were served; the young people engaged in such innocent games and pastimes as cause time to fly rapidly away. A fine magic lantern was operated to the intense delight of all. In fact all had such a good time that, boy like, each wished that Merle might have a birthday every week.
