One Familv,s Fatalities.

Garnett. July 23.-The little 4-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Strong got hold
of some carbolc acid and drank it, from
the effects of which he died the following
day. There seems to be a strange fatality
following the children of this family.
About ten years ago one of the boys was
run over by the cars in this city and
both legs were cut off, from which death
resulted. Four or five years ago little
daughter drank some carbolic acid and
died from its effects, and now the third
child is taken in the same way as the
little girl

We imagine that when man has
been to war, and returns home safely,
the temptation to lie is as great as
after a fishing trip.
At this time of the year don't visit
people. They are probably waiting
their turn with towel and soap for the
bath tub, and don't want to lose their
place in the line.
With sending money for ice to his
relatives in the war, and money for
blankets to his relatives in Colorado,

We have got even with Colorado for
drawing so many people there: Fritz
Acknowledgment goes there this week,
and Colorado people Will go crazy
learning how to spell his name.
We have noticed that if the croquet
ground is hidden behind thick shrub
not so inclined to think that playing
the game on Sunday adds to helPs pop
ulatiOn.
1t is unfortunately true that a girl
will look bored when her father takes
her to a dollar show, and laugh every
minute when a young thing in high
collar and pants takes her to a ten cent
entertainment.
The women who hold themselves bet
ter than other women because of their
fine clothes, should be compelled to go
in swimming with other women not so
we'll dressed. Going swimming with
nothing on is a great leVeler.
