Prof. Ford is in receipt of an invita-
ton to attend the graduating exercis-
eso the Chanute High school. The
invitations, as usual, were printed
away from home which leads US to be-
lieve that Chanute business houses are
not popular with these young people
We presume that should any of those
concerned conclude to seek employ
ment, they will apply in Chicago or
Philadelphia.
Everybody whistles Dear Little
Poster Maid" the latest fad in the
song line, and if you wish to be up to
date, this is the song to whistle, sing
and play. The verses witten by Will

subject quite novel. Hugh T. Hart
has welded to them a pretty plaintive
melody, with waltz refrain. You can
secure this song Of the publishers, Hart
& Whitlock, 1909 West 18th St., Kan
sas City, Mo-, at special price of 25
cents a copy.

Several of the oil wells in the Neode'
sha field are getting too full for COM
fort and are running over periodically
Besides the one mentioned in this col
umn last Friday as flowing over &C
barrels in one day and night, two 9th
ers not mile from town have almost
equalled the record. The wells were
all pumped down before being shut
down to await the completion of the
refinery and the readiness with which
they refill, and that from only the
first sand proves to some extent the
capacity of the Neodesha field. While
at it we may as well tell the whole
truth about the two or the three wells
referred to, and that is, they have not
vet been shot.-Neodesha Derrick.
OF all the great equestrian perform
ances of the circus world is none more
strange or attractive than the perfec'
thy trained equestrian lion to be seen
with the Walter L. Main Enormous
R. R. Shows, 3-Ring Circus, 5-Conti'
nent Menagerie, Roman Hippodrome
and trained wild beast shows, This
remarkable animal which few years
ago roamed, king Of an African forest
is now seen at every performance Of
the Walter L. Main shows, riding a
bareback horse with all the ease, grace
and agility of champion human
equestrian. There is no act or part OF
any act, performed by our champion
bareback biped artists which this in
telligent quadruped does not dupli'
cate, and many things in which he ex'
cells the gentlemanly artists Of the big
show. The big show exhibits here on
May 18th, and everyone should see the
only horse riding lion performer.
