Friday of last week DIR. H. r. Layton
received a postal card printed in colors
with the picture of fish suspended by
the side of portly citizen with white
mustach and burnside whiskers large
and flowing and printed under the
picture the following: "This fish weighs
1884 pounds and was caught with rod
and reel off Santa Catalina Islands,"
In the Judges well known writing APP
peared the following: "Dear Doctor.
This is the kind of fish we catch over
here. l caught this, one morning be-
fore breakfast and had my picture
taken with it. Don't you think it is a
good picture of me and the fish? ]. w.
Harvey" The card was dated Avalan,
CAL, May 25th, 1902. We don't wish
to cast any reflection on the Judges
veracity but must say that California
air must have a great effect on the
growth of beard as the Judge didn't

One OF the most pleasant occasions
of the season was the party given by
Mrs. G. w. Medium on Wednesday
evening in honor of Mrs. 81. Y. Os-
borne, of Loyelani, Colorado, who is
a guest at the Meldrum home. at
7:3O the parlors were beautifully
lighted, and having been previously
decorated with the evening colors-

delightful appearance.
The forepart of the evening was
spent in dressing paper dolls. Each
lady did her best to win the prize for
the most handsomely dressed doll;
the prize being awarded Mrs. Tooker.
While awaiting the decision of the
judges, the time was pleasantly spent
in music and drinking punch. The
punch bowl was beautifully decorated
among ferns in the dining room. The
reading of rhymes in answer to the
invitations sent out (which were in
rhyme) afforded great deal of laugh
ter and merriment. Mrs. briggs re-
ceived first prize, in the form of a
beautiful little book OF LongfeIlow's
poems; the second prize had been in
tended for a ''bouby" prize, but as
there'was no poor rhymes, it was de-
cided by the judges to be given as a
second prize which was awarded Mrs.
BiSsell, book of Mother Goose"
rhymes.
The guests were then ushered into
the dining room where a dainty and
elaborate lunch awaited them, which
was served in four courses, as follows:
Oyster Patties, Celery, Pickles
Chicken Croquettcs, Normandy, Salad, Bread,
Butter and Olives.
Pine Apple, Sherbet and Cake.
Cheese Straws and Coffee.
At late hour the guests departed
pronouncing the hostess most charm
ing entertainer. Those present, were:
Mesdames, Lee Ames, W. II. Tooker,

z. McAuIv Dead.

Mr.. r. r. McAuly was born in Vir-
ginia, November 20, 1919, and died at
Sulpher Springs at the age of 50 yrs.
mo. and IS days.
When about ten years old his peo-
pie removed to Indiana and he subse-
Quently lived in Wisconsin, and came
to Kansas about twenty-four years
ago.
In 1851 he was married to Margaret
Cavenee. who survives him. Seven
children were born to them. only one
of which is still liVing-W. E. McAuly
of this county.
The deceased was raised a PreSby-
terrain, though not a member of any

his belief in Jesus Christ, altho' never
made a public profession. During his
last illness he expressed a readiness to
lay down his life, and his confident
hope of meeting his loved ones gone
before.
lie lived a singularly upright life,
His longtime friends and neighbors
testify to his exemplary character; to
his good citizenship; and to his love
and devotion to home and family.
In taking such a citizen from US,
God has not only left a vacant chair
in the home, but the community is
bereft of his influence. And the loss
of such husband, father, friend and
citizen brings sadness to all of our
hearts. We mourn the loss OF his
council, we feel the lack of his inf1u-
ence, we grieve because we miss his
fellowship.
The funeral services were held in
the Presbyterian church, Thursday
afternoon at O'clock. Rev. John H.
Lamb conducted the services assisted
by the Rev. N. Homan, an old neigh
Dor and friend of the deceased. Then
the remains were conveyed to their
last resting place in Fairview GENE
