A   SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR CLARE'S POPULAR
HOTEL.   THE "BUILDING TO BE ENLARGED IN THE SPRING.
Artistically Printed Menu for Christmas Guests.
modem hotel has brought a large
trade., So much is this true that the
diningroom is often crowded and the
bedroom capacity overtaxed. In view
of the increasing business, it has been
decided to 'enlarge the hotel next
spring, The jog on the north side of
the building will be filled in with a two
story addition, which will be extended
north as a short wing, replacing the
present laundry and giving about 1200
square feet of additional ground surface. The diningroom will then be
made ten feet wider, taking in a part
of the present kitchen. Other adjustments in keeping with the enlarged
I
capacity of the house will also be
made, and the Hotel Calkins will continue to sustain its reputation as one
of Central Michigan's leading hotels.

We desire to express our warm appreciation of all the kindness of
friesnds and neighbors, especially Mr.
and Mrs. Crossen, Mr. and Mrs. L.

loved wife and daughter,

numerous traveling men who Come to
Clare as a junction point', can but/

over which Miss Sophia Stoll has so
long successfully presided that she is
now regarded as one of the family,
the well heated, ventilated and lighted
bedrooms and the obliging ways of
Landlord- Calkins with' his genial
humor as well as the kindly courtesy
of his right hand'man, chief clerk
Horace Joiner, and the air of orderly

AN UNINVITED GUEST.
Mr. and Mrs. C.  W. Perry's Unknown Intruder Steals a Valuable Overcoat.
All unwittingly last Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Perry entertained some unknown guest who rewarded their unintended hospitality
by appropriating to himself a $30 overcoat as he quietly stole out in tlie
early hours of the morning.
As is their custom, Mr. and Mrs. Perry went to the Hotel Callrns last Saturday eveningfor supper, leaving their
bed had been occupied, but no farther
trace of the intruder was found.
The hall in the Perry residence is
lighted with electric lights and it is
possible that someone in a half drunken stupor wandered to the 'door, opened it, stumbled up the stairs and
into the first bed room. The clothes
of the bed were turned back from the
foot, and the man had evidently undressed and slept under the bed clpthes
with his head at the foot, not using
the pillows. The closet in the room,
f.ull of garments, was untouched. Mr.
and Mrs. Perry's room adjoined this
guest chamber with closets between

around the house from G:30 to 8:00
when entrance must have been made.
This incident occurred on the
second anniversary of a somewhat
similar one when late at night after
having closed his store on Saturday
two years ago, E. H. Waller found an
uninvited guest enjoying the warmth
of his sitting room, right across the
street from the Perry residence but in
that case the intruder did not stay
over night.
