morning hours as the gay cavaliers and
their pretty partners whirled through the
giddy maze of the twaltz or tripped the
light fantastic In the less intricate quad

That Hundred Dollar Bet.
A funny thing happened within the city
limits some little time ago In which some
prominent citizens were concerned. The
story has Just leaked out and Is as fol-
lows: The son OF q well.Kncwn citizen
boug hit some land and shortly after 1t
came into his possession the fence which
separated 1t from the estate OF his neigh.
Dor blew down. 1t remained down some
time and the neighbor got the impression
into his head that the old gentleman
owned the land. He went to'him and re-
ouested him to rebuild his half OF the
fence, which request was, OF course, re-
fused. Mr.. Neighbor insisted and hot
words followed, W hich resulted In a bet
OF s1O0 being posted. When the aggrieved
neighbor went to take legal steps towards
having the fence erected he found out
who the owner was and was much chag'
rined. The stakeholder returned the
money to each OF the betters.
