Fred Funston can boast that at least
one engagement in which he played
leading part was short, sharp and sue
cessful. He became engaged to Miss

wealthy and influential family. She
plays the violin and sings. Fred al
ways was lucky.

note of the fact that John Canrs, w.
d. Rowley, Lewis Deerhske, J. w.
Black, J. II. Williamson and Mel
Riggs have each been presented with
lively girl within the last two or
three days, suggests that these gen.
tlemen might be held responsible for
the late squall, of which we have all
been complaining.

sented their son Julius with very
beautiful gold watch and chain Tues

then for 1t aud they gave 1t to him.

the east, who don't know what an i'm
mense business he is doing out here

new necktie. Joe says he is always
glad to get any old thing for "A present,
but he doesn't like To baye the cashier
squeeze his hand.

2lst Kan, came in Tuesday for Wis.,
IL with his parents and friends. His
furlough gives him until the 10th of
November to report and he will pro-
baby spend most of his time here In
lola. Claude looks as well as when
he left here and has no kick to make
on the way his Uncle Samuel has
treated him. Everybody ls glad to
see him.
The joke is on two or three of the
people who went from here to Omaha
the first of the week. They had
passes over the Santa Fe to Kansas
City and naturally supposed it would
be cheaper to use them and buy their

of buying them here. They found,
however, when they got to Kansas
City, that the rate from there to
Omaha was 500, whereas it was
only s., 80 from lola to Omaha.
