Jack Horner,. Pie.

The pie of the modern Jacky Horner
is literary one At a recent party
given to a bride the feature of the even.
ing was literary plum pudding. The
hostess, dressed in quaint costume,
carried around large silver dish filed
with sawdust apparently, although
each guest was invited to mutilate
Jack Horner and stick in his or her
thumb to pull out plum The plums
were real sugar plums, wrapped in It's
sue paper, blue for the ladies and pink
for the gentlemen; but with each plum
was wrapped a couplet or single line
from some author. which was matched
by line or couplet rhyming with it
and wrapped in some other plum
Partners were determined by finding
the one whose line or couplet rhymed
with your own. The result was very
amusing. Lines from Tennyson or
Browning or Emerson were made to
rhyme with others from Mother Goose

,ent promises are fulfilled in

If present promises are fulfilled in
another year one of the most pict-
uresque valleys in Kansas will be dis
figured by the black tops of hundreds
of greasy derricks, which have already
begun to stick their heads above the
foliage of the timber along the two
rivers. From Little Bear mound. the
highest land in Wilson county, near
Neodesha, one can see derricks here
and there in every direction marring
the beauty of landscape unequaled.
There is tradition that Little Bear,
the brave chief of the Osages, went
into Neodesha one day twenty years
ago and ate of dried apples so greedily
that he swelled up and died when he
drank water afterward. At any rate
Little Bear died and his braves carried
him to the summit of the mound. placed
his body in sitting posture with his
face to the setting sun, and then piled
stones around it. Some men in Neo-
desha, who were then young, are said
to have Little Bears bones to-day. A
sumac bush grows on his grave and liz
ards and tarantulas crawl under the
stones where his bones ought to be.
