LAST BOON RELIC GONE.
Shipe Will Mourn When He Hears
the NeWs.


The last public monument above
ground (the gas wells are under
ground) to the late lamented boom
succumbed to the south wind Friday
and fell to earth. 1t was the flag pole
which used to support a huge banner
over Second street telling Of the great
ness present and prospective Of the
Abilene Land Co. M. M. Shipe, J.
5 Kelley and c. G. Hawk were the
trinity in charge Of the company and
the sign. the pole and the circulars
sent out were about the only tangible
evidence Of the concerns exist
ence when the end came. The
sign was taken down and finally
two years ago the pole itself was re-
moved to the open space north Of the
Pacific tack on Broadway. Here It
bore the signal service flags until
even that luxury petered out and
since then 1t has been kind of a
whited sepulcher to make the old-tim-
ers feel bad. This morning one guy
wire broke and the wind did the rest.
The pole ought to be made up into
canes and same presented to the
eX-members Of the board Of trade, for
there won't be another pole like that,
nor another boom. Peace be to the
ashes of both

All Saw Uncle Tom. y

The opera house was filed for the
first time this season last night and IL
was all to see "Uncle Toms Cabin"
The troupe had enough people to
bankrupt a circus and the astonish-
Ing part OF it was that most OF them
had nothing to do. 1t was a good
show though and highly clevating to
the church people who attended. Not
for long time before has there been
a skirt dancer here who could put one
foot directly over her head while the
other rested on the floor. 1t took .
great moral drama like Uncle Tom to
produce that. II as large audiences
would turn out to see really good
companies what a show town this
would be.

About Lady Godiva.

The Columbian club will be inter
ested in this bit Of information from
the Topeka Mall
At its regular meeting the Column
bian club Of Abilene, composed OF
ladies and gentlemen will discuss the
tabled ride Of Lady Godiva. 1t strikes
us that Lady Godiva and her ride
through the streets Of Coventry, clad
only in smile and her floating hair,
compose subject which would have
to be approached with great deal Of
iinesse to avoid all the attributes OF
indelicacy. According to the story,
Leoiric, the husband Of Godiva, i'm
posed some heavy exactions upon the
town Of Coventry while he was doing
business in the vicinity as an earl.
This was in the 1O4O and at that period
earls had things pretty much their
own way in England. The lady en-
treated her husband to spare the
town, and at last he consented upon
the condition that she ride naked
through the streets in daylight. OF
course, he made the proposition as a
bluff, but when she calledt him he
would not weaken. On the day set
for the ride Earl Loeiric ordered all
the people to keep within their house
and not look out. This order was
obeyed except by one tailor who has
passed into history as "Peeping Tom
Of Coventry" He peeped out from
behind curtain when the lady rode
by without clothes enough on to tlag
a hand-car, and, as a consequence,
was stricken blind in both eyes. 1t
has always been conviction with us
that Tom deserved his fate. Under
the circumstances he might have been
justified in CHANGING one eye, but
some men are so greedy and hogglsh
that they are never satisfied with a
reasonable amount Of fun, and for
such the truly virtuous can have no
sympathy.
The Mail means well but Is away off
this matter. The Columbian club is
composed exclusively Of ladies. We
guess 1t can discuss what 1t wants to.
No men are allowed to peep at their
meetings either
