A new story about the gas business
is going around. 1t is claimed that
the gas even if cheaper than coal is
more expensive Ill the long run. The
reason of this is that people lie in bed
later mornings and the bill tor bed
clothes is increasing rapidly. More
over, the fear of having To wade out in
the SLOW to gather kindling, cut wood
and dig coal out of the snow, no
| longer being an iminent evil, the men
stay around the house on cold or
stormy days and wear out carpets,
chairs and trousers seats. There may
| be something in this but no one has
deserted gas for wood so far.
During the storm Monday morning a
young man with head down was MAX
ing SOW Roadway as he went north
against the storm. Con Null was GO
ing south braced back and be saw
the youth, but no thought of pity on
tered his manly bosom. In tIOnt of
the lum Or yard they met and as the
youth fulfilled CONS expectations and
ran bis head plump into CONS annex,
Con- could not help but laugh. That
| i'll timed hilarity sent the youth back
ward as though shot out of cannon
and he lit some twenty feet down the
street. Or course Con apOlOgiZed aud
the youth will not prosecute, but il
was a dirty Irish trick.

manager for the Standard Oil Comp

1t is nearly seven years since Mr..
Arnett took charge of the Standard
interests here and the fact that he
has held the place so long is the best
evidence of the skill and energy and
integrity with which he has handled
the business. 1t was a small matter
to begin with, but it now amounts to

The anniversary tea given at the
home of Mrs. A. j. Fulton last night
by the Ladies Missionary Society was
splendid success. The tables were
crowded during the evening and
everyone found an abundance of food
to his liking. The tea began at 5
o'clock so that business men could
participate and q large mum Der did
so. The receipts were something
over $18, very excellent showing.
No attempt was made to keep the
crowd and they departed early to
other attractions. A loving letter
was received from Rev. Clark, the
Presbyterian minister who helped
organive the society, also an excel
lent picture of him which will be kept
by the society.
The remains of James McCaDn who
died Thursday, were taken to Hum

tanning about twenty vehicles. They
started from here at IL o'clock and
arrived in Humboldt at 1:S0. A pro-
cessiOn from the church met the
hearse near town and escorted 1t to
the church where FIR. Weikman
conducted funeral services, The
crowd in attendance was very large,
people coming from all over the coun-
ty to pay their respects to the de-

tributes were offered and the services
were conducted in an impressive
manner.
