Beware Ye lola Dancers 4!

A horrible example of the dancing
habit has again appeared. An ex-
change says:
1.-The story is told that a dignified
and portly Judge down at Winfield
attended ball, wearing a pair of ex-
tremely tight fitting trousers. During
the evening he was Mortified to find
that thread had broken in one of
the seams, producing a bad rip. He
beckoned to his wife and told her of
his predicament. She secured a need
lie and thread and they entered an
ante-room at one side of the hall.
Just as the Judge had removed his
trousers two ladies' we're heard coming
toward the same room. The Judge
looked around for place to hide
His wife saw door looking appar-
emily into II closet, Opening it she
thrust her husband through and bolt

meet the ladies, but at the same time
there came terrible humping on the
door and voice roared: open the

Ninety Days of Unbroken Rest.

John Craigmyle, the Miss ourian
who is too weary to work and support
his wife and children, had hearing in
Justice Potter's court last Friday
Craigmyle said that he dearly loved
to work but that he is not we'll and
unable to perform m2nual labor. DR..
Hirsch was appealed to and made an
examination of him. He found man
of average health and strength and at
the end of his testimony declared that
there was no evidence that Craigmyle
couldn't do lots of hard work. Then
the Judge gave him ninety days in the
county Jail where he can rest and re-
cover from that tired feeling.
In the meantime kind neighbors
have taken charge of the family. a.
H Brown has fixed up an unused
chicken house and 10y donations from
one place and another it has been
made comfortable, more so than the
tent in which they were formerly

Freight Yards Crowded

Superintendent Webb of the Mis-
souri, Pacific was here again Friday
to try and find out why it is that one
switch engine cannot do all the work
required here. He and the conduct
ors of the dayland night crews talked
it over and Mr.. Webb felt quEe posi-
tive that one engine can do the work,
in spite of the fact that at present there
is iamb in the yards and one of the
local freights puts in couple of hours
daily helping fix matters. The truth
of the matter is that there ismore work
here than one engine can do and it is
going to grow heavier next spring 49,

IFrom The Indianapolis Sentinel
A good story of General Harrison is
one that ne used to relate as a joke
on himself. which occurred while he
was ia the senate.
General Harrison. with a few friends
was hunting in the northern part of
the state. and stopped with an old
farmer. who. while he paid a great
deal Of attention TO the future presi-
dent and well known statesman. seem
ed to regard him in the light of pure
democracy as a mere equal. and for
whom General Harrison showed the
greatest friendship
The farmer. as it happened. had for
some time been engaged IN a cOntro-
Nersy with q neighb1r in regard to
dog. whose sheep killing propensities
had often caused the old man con-
siderable worry. and the animals de-
predations at last brought his owner
into a lawsuit. The trial was sent
down for a hearing while General
Harrison was in the neigh borhood. and
the farmer. understanding that his
visitor was considered one of the best
lawyers in the country. begged him to
take I'D the case General Harrison
consented and drove over TO the near
est town the next day with the farmer
His eloquence caught the jury. which
returned a verdict in favor of the far
mer without leaving the courtroom
The farmer was greatly pleased at the
result Of the suit
7 thought you was a pretty good dog
lawyer he kept repea ting to General
Harrison all the way back to the farm.
and il ever that dog gets me into
trouble again I'm going to send for

General Harrison enjoyed the Incl
dent immensely and never tired of
telling the story
