KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs BALL

Owing to the very bad weather yester-
day and last evening the attendance at the
anniversary bali of the Knights OF PythiAs,
was not as large as had been anticipated.
The music was furnished by the full
Board Of Trade orchestra in uniform and
was of the best. Mr.. G. w. Efting acted
as prompter There were about sixty
couples who participated in the dancing
Quite number of Sir knights and their
ladies were in attendance from Newton
and Hutchinson.
All who attended had one Of the most
enjoyable evenings in the society calendar
for the season.
The drill given by the uniformed Knights
was exceptionally fine and received the
frequent applause of the oniookers. Some
Of the most intricate figures known TO the
tactics of the X 2. were formed, such as
the Greek cross, diamond, squares, circles.
and many other difficult and intricate
manouvers.
The drill was closed by an exhibition
sword exercise, which was a fine test OF
the proficiency Of the Knights in handling
their chosen weapon. All who were en-
gagged acquitted themselves satisfactorily
to the spectators, who were not slow to
appreciate fine work, and TO bestow mer-
tied applause.
The dancing was resumed and continued
until a late hour, when the company
parted with best wishes for the prolonga-
tion of the order which prompted such
pleasant time

ABOUT A GIRL.

Quite a sensation was created yesterday
afternoon at the depot just rs the Frisco
train was about TO leave for the east, by a
man and woman both trying 10 get pos
session of little girl. The mans name is
Martin and it seems he and his wife had
been divorced some time ago They had a
daughter and the custody Of her was
given to the mother who lives in one Of
the eastern states.
Some months ago the father who works
here requested the little girl, who is about
10 years old, to be allowed TO come and
visit him which request was granted.
After a short time the mother wrote for
the child 10 be sent home but was in
formed by her father that she would not
be sent.
The mother, thereupou, came TO this
place unknown to the little girl or her
father and found where her daughter at
tended school She took hack yesterday
and, going to the school house, asked 10
see the little girl. She took her in the
hack and drove at once 70 the depot
The father was notified and went TO the
station and tried to get possession Of the
child, bat was eluded by the woman, who
with the help of some of the bystanders
got on the train with her daughter and
rolled out for the east.

Then the bleeding trophy is placed in the

Greeting by Smelling.

The respectful greeting of FIJI IS 10 take
and smell the hand OF the superior without
rubbing 1t In the Gambia when the men
salute the women they put the wOman's
hand up to their noses and smell twice at
the back of it. In the Friendly islands
noses are joined, adding the ceremony of
taking the hand of the person 20 whom
civilities are paid and rubbing it with a
degree of force upon the ssluter's own nose
and mouth. The Mariana islanders for
merly smelled at the hands of those TO
whom they wished TO tender homage.
Capt Beechy tells of the Sandwich
islanders: The lips are drawn inward be-
tween the teeth, the nostrils are distended
and the lungs are widely inflated; the face
is then pushed forward, the noses brought
into contact, and the ceremony concludes
with hearty rub. "-Garrick Mallory in

BROKEN Ribs.

MIR. D. L. Shea, who left here few days
ago to assume the duties Of train dis
patcher Of the Frisco at Neodesha, met
with a severe accident at that place yester-
day morning.
From the account given by the trainmen
1t seems that Mr. Shea slipped on the sleet
and fell, aud striking in such a way as to
break several Of his ribs and otherwise
strain and bruise himself
Mr.. Shea's family had not yet left this
place, and he was brought here on the 3:05
Frisco train and taken to his home on
North Emporia avenue, where he is con-
fined to his room from the injuries sus-
tanned.
II was but few days ago that Mr. Shea
parted from the Wichita and Western en-
ployes to accept the position on the Frisco,
the recipient OF handsome present from
them. Too see him brought back so soon
disabled causes the sympathy of his former
associates to 80 out toward him, together
with their best wishes for his speedy re-
cOyery.

A Man Put, Up a Job to Make Every wo-
man in tho Theatre Take on Her Hat
The theatre was crowded The curtain
had Just risen. Jewels flashed, gay plumes
on wondrous headdresses futtered in the
heated air, costly fans waved slowly 70 and
fro, and the fashionable audience turned
its eyes and opera glasses toward the stage
and settled into the hush of expectation
that precedes the opening OF the play,
which the experienced stage manager has
waited considerably for all the late corners
10 be seated before the bell taps for the
curtain to rise.
In a conspicuous location about half way
between the orchestra and the front seats
of the parquet circle were three ladies who
had come in unattended about five minutes
before. They were noticeable for the wide,
faring, outrageous hats they wore. Di-
rectly behind them sat a nervous looking.
despairing man, who was making wild
but frritless efforts 10 see the stage. The
wide hats with their wealth Of tropical
bird foliage hid everything he wanted 10
see fsom his view. In vain be wriggled
and squirmed and cTancd his neck from
side 20 side The hats were too large, too
close together and too richly upholstered.
Apparently unconscious that be was at
tracing the attention Of everyboJ e a his
neighborhood and bringing the ladies' in
front of him into unpleasant prominence,
he persevered till sounds Of in suppressed
laughter were heard on all sides Of him
Then be settled himself back in bis chair
with a weary sigh, but the next moment
took advantage Of a lull in the performance
on the stage TO lean forward and address
one Of the ladies-the one who sat ia the
middle.

They saw the other two ladies take 81 their
hats also, and the example became instant
~ contagious. Ten or dozen other cn0r-
nous hats came OF in the next half min
ute, much 10 the relief Of the sufferers dl-
rectiy behind them Then the star q the
evening stepped on the stage and the alteu-

II is more usual in social notes to put the
address at the head of your note. and the
date at the conclusion. 1t is courteous for
a man writing 10 a woman, whose hus-
band he does not know, to address the let
ter to the husband for" the wife. Do not
use the form Mrs. Smith, care Mr.
Smith" A very convenient and now
quite usual custom is to commence your
note on the fourth page. and continue to

leaves card upon you only, while her

a New Bleaching Agent.

DR. Ludwig Schreiner, of Stuttgart, has
brought forward new bleaching agent
which he calls ozonin. IL is prepared by
dissolviDg - parts of hydrate Of potash in
1861 parts of water, to which 125 parts Of
resin are added after boiling the solution.
To this mixture are added first $50 parts
oil of turpentine, and then 1867 parts per
oxide Of hydrogen. The product thus OBJ
tanned is ozonin, bleaching agent more
powerful than either turpentine or perox-
ide of hydrogen alone. Dr.. SchTeiner
says that solution OF one part OF Ozonia
in !, 0GO parts Of water will form a power
fUl textile bleach, and that the solution
also has disinfecting and sntiseptic proper
ties Of value-Boston Transcript.

Very Old Slang.

4 correspondent writes: You state the
case very mildly as TO the English origin Of
the so called slang phrase, too thip,' which
perhaps isn't slang phrase at all. The
fact is, il Is English from way back In
Smollett's 'Peregrine Pickle the hero in
forms Emilia that he is going abroad. This
brings tears 70 her eyes, but be says they
are caused by the hot tea which she is
pouring. Which leads the author to re
mark that the excuse was too thin to i'm
pose on her lover. The phrase is also found
IN Shakespeare's Henry VIII. act ). scene
