FROM HSLEEPY HOLLOW"

Editor GLOBE -REPUBLICAN: 1t has
somehow often occurred to me that I
ought to write up this part of our county
little if you will allow me space in your
valued paper First, we have just now, a
real creek, one with running water in it,
some places five feet deep with frogs and
bushes and it may be. fish too. The rain
Saturday night week ago which seemed
to be much needed, measured an inch and
a half. Up the creek there must have
been more, as the creek did not raise un-
til Sunday evening Rain was favorable
to our crops through all of May, as we
had rain every week am quitting to three
inches in all; the first two weeks in June
an inch and eighth. Our crops are
doing well. Wheat promises much more
than it did the last of April. The wheat
cutting is about over. Mr. Walters and
Mr.. Bell have bound theirs. Mr. Adams
and Mr.. Perry did not begin cutting until
late Guess they little like our
heading implies, sleepy. Corn and
kaffir corn now promises a full crop. By
the way, we are eating own raising
of potatoes, and all garden truck looks
well. We will soon have cabbage and
beans with roasting ears in sight, beet
pickles already here, and cucumbers
coming l forgot TO mention turnips as
they are already getting old.
Our Sunday school work Is not tagging
although it might be better. We had
rousing children s meeting at Concord the
first Sunday in June that astonished the
natives We held Sunday school con-
vention also at Concord the 29th that was
more than some of them could stand, at
least many that we expected did not get
there, especially the Sunday school north
of Concord. However we had a good
time and the house was crowded, and
there was some dinner left. But you
ought to have seen Mr.Wakeman eat,you
would have thought he was hearty
enough.
Cattle and grass are doing just fine and
you ought to see the calves, they are a
fine lot generally.
Come out, Mr.. Editor, come out and
see us and bring your wife along if you
have any, and see US, and our part of the
country, and take dinner with us and go
to Sunday school in the country. We
will do you good and send you back re-
Joicing.
Now if the waste basket don't get this
we may come to see you again in the
future. A SLEEPY ONE

AMONG RAILROADS
AND RAILROAD MEN.

Conductor Mclaughlin, of the Santa
Fe so one of the men about town- says
went into feed store the other morning,
and seeing a bunch of certain crop ly-
ing there tied up nicely, asked the pro-
prietor, ssWhere did that grow? Fright
here in Dodge City, ssWhy, it's as tall
as I am. Mac is 5ft. Sin--Then the
proprietor was gone to serve custimer,
and Conductor Mclaughlin took his train
to Newton and it was soon made rumor
that alfalfa in Dodge was 3 feet and s
inches high, but some of the victims of
this rumor, being from Missouri. had to
be shown. so they came up to Dodge to
see this great sight. and Mac. eagerly
steered them around to Mfller's and
triumphantly asked. ssWhere's that
bunch of alfalfa 1 measured in here last
Monday morning?" ssAlfalfa!'' shouted
Miller. ayes, nearly six feetI Lay
right herei" ssWhy, Mac, that's sweet
clover! Thought you knew. Here it is-''
How Mclaughlin ever settled with his
Newton doubters-the joints being closed
remains dead secret
The Santa Fe is putting in new scales
at the freight house here. The old scales
were too short for the forty foot cars in
use now by the road.
Train 81 ran into the engine of 81 at
Coolidge last Saturday doing considerable
damage to the engines. Fireman Bates
who runs from Dodge City to La Junta
and was on 81, jumped and had one knee
badly hurt. The other members of the
two crews were uninjured.
1t is rumored that a change will be
made at the division offices here soon
which will effect one of the trainmasters.
Nothing definite has been announced as
yet regarding the change.
Conductor W. r. Mcneil and engineer
L. D. Reynolds took stock train of four
teen cars through from Dodge City to
Newton in six hours and thirty minutes,
Monday, going oyer the main line.
This is almost equalling the passenger
runs.

FOURTH OF JULY
FORT DODGE.

The old veterans aud their wives and
chIIdren-those who had any-had a
glorious fourth. L don't mean that they
got glorious on stimulating beverages, for
every body was sober, but they were in a
most joyful mood and why not? They
had free speech, free music and a free
fght-just for fun. They got together
like old chums or as though they We're
all one family, only they didn't quarrel.
The officers of the Home acted nice
and did all they could to make things
pleasant and enjoyable and mingled with
the crowd just as though they were Que
of as. 1 havn't heard any kicking only
from those who ate too much Ice cream
of which there was abundance.
Thirty-two cakes We're given away
after everybody filled up. Rev.
Upton make a talk, off hand. Every
thing went off hand, nothing cut and
dried but free and easy all around OF
course there was singing and shouting
like there always is at a reunion and
patriotic cries filled the new meeting
house and rang out among the trees.
Well. we just had a good time and
there was manifested an earnest desire
for the 4th of July to come again right
away. RICHARD COLLINS.

The Directors of the Convention Hall,
Kansas City, Mo-. have inaugurated a
plan for holding Vote Contest the
coming election for governor of Kansas,
in connection with series of popular
entertainments to be given in the Hall
next November. The plan to be follow
ed is similar to that of the Guessing Con-
test on the vote of Ohio which was held
last year. At the close of the previous
contest the Directors found that some
who had made estimates on the vote had
misunderstood the rules and, in order to
remove even a chance for argument
they promptly appropriated $4,000 ad-
ditional and duplicated the list of prizes
which had originally been offered. The
Inducements offered this year are much
greater that those i'll the former contest,
the first prize will be $1O,O instead
Of $4,000, and the other prizes will be
larger in proportion. All prizes will be
in cash, the sum of $4,000 having al
ready been secured to pay the prizes.
The number of prizes has also been in
creased. and there is now 1854 prizes ON
the list. Each purchaser of concert
ticket, the price of which is 25 cents,
will be entitled to record one estimate as
to the number of votes to be cast for gov
ernor of Kansas at the election Novem-
Der 4, 1902. and the one who estimates
the correct vote, or nearest the cor
rect vote, will be paid $4,000 in
cash. To the others who make the best
estimates will be given the remaining
prizes in order. Tue awards are to be
made by impartial committee upon
the official certificate of the Secretary of
State of Kansas. large cash special
prize is offered for the best estimate re-
ceived during the month of July. Per-
sons living outside of Kansas City may
order tickets and record their estimates
by mail, addressing all communications
to Convention Hall, Kansas City. Mo.

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
Some Recent Inventions of the De-
sIEners of Up to Date Apparel
for the Ladies'.

Tafeta is used in some of the new
est boas. One is described as being
made of two stripes, each four yards
long, 12 inches wide and fringed all
than an inch, and is gathered twice
through the middle One strip is black
and one white. and the two are sewed
on a foundation of inch-wide black
taffeta ribbon, 20 inches long. Long
ends are made of accordion plated
white mousseline de sole ruffied with
fnch-wide black Chantilly edge, says
the New York Tribune.
Another charming boa that is not
difficult to make and is extremely
dura BILE is of black taffeta only. 1t
requires a whole breadth 2A yards
long, which is cut in vandyke points
about four inches deep, on both
se1vages- These are bound with mar
row black velvet ribbon, and have
three rows of white velvet baby rib
bon within the binding. The taffeta
is then gathered crosswise to form
series of puffs, which are then tucked
to neckband IS inches long Long
loops of velvet ribbon an inch and a
ering between the puffs and long
ends of velvet ribbon fall from the
fastening of the boa.

Bending does not hurt it in the least.
1t is made with that in view. Velvet

as well for loops and bows.
Taffeta and velvet will be used for

cuffs of black satin.
A pretty revival in bodice styles is

front to the waist line. A strikin e
of this fashion, the yoke edge cut in
large sca1lops and finished with
stitched black panne band. The
middle portion of the yoke where it
heightened to the waist line was
about six inches wide, and the waist
on each side of this was trimmed with
stitched bands of panne applied dag
the skirt was defined by two stitched
bands of black panne.
Il Many of the gowns by fashionable
dressmakers have waists that open in
the back and are perfectly straight in
front, with a point. The skirt in
many instances is put on the belt,

PROPER SHOES FOR COMFORT
Some Points Which Should BE Care.
fully Observed Pur-


An unsightly, clumsy shoe is OF nec-
essarily hygienic one Even the COM
mon-sense shoe is not suita BILE for all
feet. The foot with the Spanish arch
is positively i'll a ease in common
sense shoe. The arch of he foot misses
its support. But there are any NUM-
Der of shoes made upon lasts which fol-
low the natural contour of the sole of
the foot and yet curve to and support
the arch and offer moderate heel,
says the Ledger Monthly.
. Plenty of space should intervene be-
tween the toes and the end of the
shoe. The instep should be held with
gentle pressure, otherwise there
will be too much friction over the toes
md corns, and bunions will be the re-
suit.
, The sole should be broad enough so
that toe overlaps another. If this
has occurred through past errors it
may frequently be remedied by placing
bit of cotton, felt or corn Pla ster
between the toes to aid in Ike eepinS
them in position.
A slender foot is assuredly more at
;tractive than a broad one, but if ma
ture has denied you that gift, she has,
undoubted edly, bestowed another; So,
phi1ospohieatly, fit your broad sole to
your broad foot and revel in the COM
fort of it, rather than try to emulate a
wrinkled and bad tempered in the
fruit1ess effort.
High heels throw the weight of the
body forward and tend to break down
the arch of the foot. They displace the
center of gravity and put pressure
upon bones and Hgaments not con-
structed to bear it.
