ana MISS GuSSle LucluS OF bismarck,
two pretty and popular milliners, are
in the city inspecting spring styles.
Heard Editor Byers was in st. Louis.
Don't see his name OF the club register.
Getting rather short of stationery.
Hope all the editors won't donate at
the same time.
Conductor Geo. H. Kelly, n of the
Oldest, conductors on the Iron Noun
tain, is becoming quite a promoter.
George has a mine neal Cripple Creek,
Colo, which contains one of the heav-
lest and richest veins ever struck in
low grade ore, and averages from
three to one thousand dollars per ton.
A mill will be running in the next few
weeks, and prospects are bright for
big returns.
The following account of Prince
Henry's visit was received by the club
too late for publication in last weeks
issue: Prince Henry arrived over the
Vandalia Monday morning promptly
at Z o'clock. The Prince wore the
uniform of an admiral of the German
navy and a fatigued look. The Kais-
er's brother appeared as though weary
of being s'receptionized," or else was
just recovering from a bad case of
katzenjammer. Barney Frauenthal
did excellent work as interpreter be-
tween the Prince and Mayor Wells.
and received from the hands of his
royal highness the decoration known
as the ''double eagle" In fact, the
Prince complained of seeing every
thing double, probably due to the fact
that a Kentuckey colonel presented
him with a gallon of a~pple-jack when
his royal highness passed through the
blue grass region. One objection the
club has to the Prince-he smokes
cigarettes. If he intends to get out
his naturalization papers and run for
the House of Delegates, he will have
to cut them out. Tom Kinney came
very near being defeated because he is
addicted to the use of same, and this
being true, sthe boys wouldn't do a
thing to a foreigner if they knew he
carried a package of Sweet Caporals
in his pocket. When the Prince
reached Forest Park and saw where
the trees had been chopped down, he
wanted to know if it was a new farm,
and if the committee thought the far
mer would get in a crop this coming
spring. He also wished to know if the
settlers were ever troubled by the
maraudlng redskins, but was informed
that all the Indians were corralled on
their Chestnut street reservation, and
that there had not been an uprising
since the last city election. Henry
was delighted with his visit. He par
ticularly complimented the city upon
its grade of water and said it was a
thing with some body to it. His royal
highness was shocked, however, to
learn that a man was struck by a fem
der on the day of his arrival and was
not instantly killed. and stated that
such laundering executions would not
be permitted in Germany, where the
obsolete method of the ak and block
are still in vogue. The boys have
been ''hoching" everything in COM
memoration of the royal visitor, and
Fred Smith has just received two dol
lars on his watch, a present from G.
Hy. Brown in exchange for 1000 tags
off of star tobacco. Aufweidersein,
Heinrich! Don't forget the big show
in 1908.
Our friend Thos. d. O'Hara-a great
nephew of the immortal Theodore the
author of 1.-The Bivouac of the Dead
has been accused of writing a SON
net which appeared in the last issue OF
the Columbus, KY, Critic, entitled
Don't Cry, or Who Stole Elhel's Rub
bers.n When Editor Walker ran his
eyes over the blankety blank verse
according to Toms v~ersion-he pied
his whole form and then locked up the
printing Office and took a trip to Bel
mont. Mr.. Walker received a postal
from Tom containing this brief but
appropriate advice: Don't Cry" We
