Do not use piano ''polishes" peddled or
recommended by any one. An authority
says a man must work at least year or
two to learn the business of polishing, so
do not think that woman can learn in
TWO minutes by reading some directions
from a bottles label. If one cannot af-
ford to have it polished by professional,
it can be washed with wet "chamois, !"
and when dry rubbed well with an old
piece of cotton flannel. Put on no grease
Use the 'chamois" for nothing else, and
only wash the piano occasionally.

The musical and literary entertainment
Wednesday evening at Plymouth church
was a success. a good audience rewarded
the efforts of the young ladies of the Sun
day school classes, by whom the affair was
managed. Each number elected applause.
The recitation by little Josie Daratt con-
vulsed the audience with laughter, and as
her diminutiye figure appeared on the
stage in response to the encore, every one
was pleased. Miss Mabel Millison re-
sponded to an encore, as did also the
Misses Gertie and Mile Hays. whose
duet was praiseworthy. Everybody en-
Joyed with the whistling solo, by Miss
Hall, while the recitations by Nellie and
Maggie Dorsey were interesting mo
Sects in Heaven" was we'll rendered by
Miss Anna Boyd, and Miss English gave
very appropriate recitation in pleasing
manner. The instrumental solo by Miss
Flora Caswell was well received. A very
interesting and novel feature of the enter
tainment, was the music furnished by the
string quartett-Mrs. Steffee and the
Misses Gatewood, Craig and Baker. The
graceful manipulations of the violins and
bass viol as well as the harmony produced,
were highly enjoyed:
Fl. S. McMichael called the Young Peo-
pies Literary society TO order last Friday
evening, at the First Baptist church. A
very large and enthusiastic audience was
present. This society has made remark
able progress and already ranks among
the foremost literary clubs in southern
Kansas. and it will soon have to move into
other quarters in order to accommodate
the large audiences. Resolved, That
women should be granted the right of
suffrage, was discussed on the affirmative
by Mrs. II. w. Shaffer and Attorney T.
+. McMechan, and on the negative by At
torney j. +. Adams. Both the decision OF
the house and judges was given in favor of
the affirmative Miss Chloe Brown deliv-
cred a very pleasing recitation which won
loud applause. The society paper was
edited by L. J. Irwin, and contained many
spicy items Prof r. L. knight also
favored the audience with a short talk on
parliamentary lay. On the whole the meet
ing was grand success. as every meeting
is becoming to be. Attorney 7. +. MIC
Mechan was elected president for the en-
suing term and Miss Pool treasury. Owing
to the Southwestern Teachers convention
assembling here, the next meeting of the
society will be held on Saturday evening,
Nov. 29, instead of the regular evening.
The question for discussion that evening
is: Resolved, The the right of suffrage be
granted to those only who are able to
read and write. Able speakers have been
selected for each side and an interesting
and profitable discussion may be expected.
Mrs. p. V. Healy will read one of her orig
inal poems entitled Back East" and Mrs
Sandafeur will favor the society with one
of her popular recitations. All that are
interested in social and literary culture are
invited to attend these meetings.
