music. On stormy nights you can always
see a. light in this house. People who
know of his popularity say that it is due

1t would take a charge of dynamite to
demolish the trees around the High school
and Fourth Ward school buildings now.
Four or five years ago it was the foremost
duty of the Superintendent and all the
teachers to keep the boys from swinging
around them and pulling them up by the
roots,
IL may not be generally known that a
young Wichita grocer invented these tin
water-troughs for keeping vegetables
fresh, that are now so generally used by
grocers. Not, however, until after his had
been initiated, did he think of getting a
patent. and general use then made it i'm
possible. He lost money by it, undoubt-
eddy.
We have all heard of the good little boy
who preserves all his Christmas presents.
The head of his drum is not broken the
first day; his tin-hOrn remains unTented;
his train of cars unsmaShed; he never is
sick from overeating candy. This child Is
the one that parents quote most often TO
their boys. though they themselves have
never seen him. Strange enough, he prob
ably does not exist.
At the home of Mrs c. A Goodyear, 225
North Wichita street, a select party of
friends were entertained Thursday even

of Kansas City, WHO'S visiting in this city.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.

the home of her parents at No. 1915 North
Mead avenue, and took full possession.
The party consisted of seventeen couples,
and they spent very pleasant time at

new to the young hostess, but she was
equal to the occasion.

There is a family in town which is made
up of four old maid sisters and brother
who is a widower The brothers wife has
been dead fifteen years and his constancy
has been the never-ending theme of his ad-
miring sisters. But the other day he broke
the news to them that he was to take
a new wife, and they have renOunced all
faith in any man. Very foolishly he
asked permission to bring his bride to his
old home and was granted it.

spent very pleasantly in conversation and
