A night or two ago a well-to-do Chi
cago citizen, who lives on the West

marriage by giving a fancy-dress ball at
his house. While the festivities were in

day as Mr.. F. J. McClinchey was walking
along Main street he was accosted famil-

name. AS they moved down the street,
meeting many acquaintance Of Mr.. Nc

Billings News: M. S. Kettenring wants
US to correct false impression which
he says is being generally circulated con-
corning the real estate transaction sup
posed to have taken place between Baby
Kettenring, Jr., and the Billings Town
Co. Soon after the opening OF Billings
we announced through the News the ad-
vent of the aforesaid Baby Kettenring in
to the prosperous city OF Billings, and
inasmuch as no other baby had thus far
shown its faith in our city by adopting
this as its home, we complimented him
on his good business judgment and sug-
gested that the Town company give him
a corner lot. Mr.. Kettenring says they
have utterly failed to act upon our good
advice-that they have not even bought
him bicycle suit, and he wants the mis-
taken impression corrected.

Cushing Herald: Miss Mae Hopkins is
having little trouble with the parents
of one of her pupils near Plumb. A
boy named Fitzwater had been very
troublesome. Miss Hopkins whipped and
expelled him from school. He was Ia
ken back under the promise OF good be-
havlor, but his conduct was such that
Miss Hopkins was compelled to chastise
him severely. The father of the boy has
had the teacher arrested before Squire
Eaton. The entire school board and dis
trict are in sympathy with Miss Hop
kins, and undoubtedly the boy deserved
the thrashing he got.
