THE END OF THE VoYAGE.-A wo-
man who has Just crossed to Europe for
the first time writes home of the
pleasant pomp and ceremony with
which the end of the voyage is cele-
brated on the last night out.
'It seem," she says, THAT it is al
ways customary, on the German line,
at least. and probably on all, to have
an especially elaborate dinner just be-
fore arriving in Southampton, which is
called the Captains dinner. Every
one is supposed to order wine and
drink to the health of our Captain,
while he responds, toasting the health
and safe journeyings of his passengers.
When we came to the table, we found
it decorated with most elaborate cakes
four stories high, with little American
and German flags stuck on all sides,
and little paper ornaments-truly
German. We went through a most
elaborate menu, and when we
came to the dessert, the wait
ers suddenly disappeared, the music
stopped, and the lights went out. A
hush and sense of expectancy fell upon
the company. Suddenly the music
started lively march, the doors open
ed, and the walters appeared, bearing
trays. On each was round globe of
rice paper, with light inside, and
around this sat small japanese figures
made of ice cream, each holding in his
arms little umbrella of light colored
paper. The room was perfectly dark,
and the effect as the walters marched
around and around, forming different
figures and bearing their illuminated
burdens, was novel aud intere sting.
Everybody clapped and cheered. Then
the lights were turned on, and we ate
the ice cream men and kept the UNI
brellas as souvelirs. 1t was Captains
dinner. though without a captain, for
we chauced to be passing at the time
through very dangerous place, and
he could not leave his post on the
bridge. ."-NeU York Times.

CLAFLIN,

From the Leader
Wheat sold for IS cents here one
day this week.
Ground squirrels have played havoc
with the corn in some localities.
G. A. Plasket is the happy father of a
girl baby, born yesterday morning, May
goth.
H. Burmeister left for Texas this
week. where heswill be employed by the
Hodge company in selling and putting
up the "Hojge Pony Header" which
Mr.. Burmeister invented and sold to
that company last year.
The rain yesterday was a fine one
and will be great benefit to all crops.
The ground was soaked several inches.
OF course, if it had come a month
earlier the wheat harvest would have
been much greater, but as it is there
will be some wheat in the country.
One of our young men who attended
the Junior League meeting at church
the other evening was handed a slip on
which was. inscribed rs Mat. IS" and
was requested to read the verse. When

cents" He hasn't been to church
since.

ELLINWOOD.

From the Advocate.
Ellinwood pays her teachers higher
wages than any other town in the coun-
ty.
Rev. w. F. Lipphart baptized twelve
persons in c. A. Willm's fish pond last
Sunday.
The happy people are those who
have facilities for irrigating from one to
FIVE acres.
Any man who owns Ellinwood pro-
perty has a good investment and he
needn't be afraid of it.
ssYoung folks begin nowadays where
old folks leave off, said the Ellinwood
street urchin as he picked up the stub
of half smoked cigar and pulled away
at it.
Not more than enough wheat can be
raised in Barton county this year than
will be demanded for seed and bread
and it will take very favorable condl-
tons to make even that much now.
People have lived through much
worse years in Kansas than this will
be, when they had not half the money,
they have now. They should remem-
Der this and govern themselves accord
ingly.
Miss Irma Cole, we'll known to most
of the people of Ellinwood, and at the
time of her residence here. one of the
handsomest ladies of the city, was mar
ried last week to a Mr.. Brown of Pu-
eblo, Col.
c. Kattenhorn of the south side got
mixed up IN runaway one day last
week and was quite seriously injured.
When found he was in an unconscious
condition and has been complaining of
pains in the back part of his head
since.

The recent rain was much needed
for the corn and wheat. Oats will be
an utter failure.
The dance Friday night was a grand
success, and everyone seemed to have
a merry good time.
We do not hear people saying any
thing about irrigation. We guess it is
all defunct. Hope not.
Prayer meeting was not very we'll at
tended on account of the dust raging;
weather gets fobby once in a while.
Our time was so limited that we were

HOISINGTON.

The clouds this year are as deceptive
as the average Kansas drug store.
Hoisington will stoop to steal a game
of ball if she can't get 1t any other way.
The creamery is doing better than it
has ever done and will be one of the
chief trade drawing Institutions III Hois-

$500 pounds of milk daily.
Abram Roger was brought before
Justice Lyle on complaint of Joseph
Graft for whipping Christina Graft.
Defendent was placed under 5000 bonds
to appear for trial next Tuesday. 1t
seems to be the outgrowth of a feud
that has existed between the families
for some time.
The ball game Saturday between
Hoisington and Olmitz was a rather
rocky affair from every point of view.
A miserable game was played, although
the game was for $40 a side, There
was great amount of kicking done and
the game finally given to Hoisington
by one score, although many who wit
messed the game, as well as some of the
players, say the game was unfairly
taken.
We notice that number of the Bend
papers make the mistake of associating

and was run IN, with the Hoisington

The growth Of public libraries in the
United States Is one Of the remarkable
features Of our system Of progress.
There are nearly 5000 Of them; and a
recent writer points out the significant
fact that with the single exception Of
the county, there is not q single civil
division Of our government that has
not adopted this form Of educational
service. The Nation, the States, the
cities and towns have libraries for gen.
eral use, and the work Of the librarian
has become a regular profession, with
requirements Of systematic study and
training.

A cry Of despair has gone up from

that was to bring suit against the pub
