When Ed Healy returned from the cat
tlemen's convention at Oklahoma City. he
said the next convention could have been
brought here If Wichita had made an
effort to secure it
And then that reminded A B. Moore OF
an incident that occurred during the cat
tlemen's convention IN this city year
ago. He said there was jolly crowd
here from Woodward They were down
in the city Aking in the sights of the
town and saying many kind words for
Wichita. The jolly woodwardites separ-
ated into two crowds and after time
met on Douglas avenue. The leader OF
one squad walked up to the leader OF the
other and said: Bill, what time Is 1t!
Bill pulled his watch from his pocket
and casting a side glance at IL said:
Why. J-Jack. IL ish six clock. Jack
appeared TO be bewildered and he wanted
more information. He again addressed Bill

ey Horizontal Circus Act.

There was a tragical scene at recent
skating festival on the Little Arkansas
river. 1t wasn't during this last cold spell.
but the one before 1t when the ice was
not frozen so solid A crowd OF young
men and women were enjoying them
selves Harry Hazleton was one Of the
number and was accompanied by q young
lady As this couple skated up TO
doubtful looking place. the young lady
asked her escort 10 go and try the place
to see if ii was safe. He skated brzvely
up to the place and II gave way. He went
in I'D to his neck. 1t was pitiful- Every
time he tried TO climb out onto the ice II
broke and he got wet little higher up
each attempt. The girl. IN the mean
time, stood paralyzed with fear for
moment and then she gave vent to her
fears. The boys who were in the vfcin-
ity responded calamity to the call. Three
Law down on the ice and endeavored to
get the nearly frozen form out but TO no
use. The girl was getting panicky about
this time. 1t is thought that the pictures
of the man frozen in the cake of ice came
up in her memory. So another triplet OF
bows was brought forward and the circus
act done in horizintal position The six
stretched out in a line. each one hold OF
the next ones feet. The boy at the hole
in the ice used his hands for tonss and
the human string was pulled by the end
man. Hazelton was dragged out and he
was a very dreary picture but IL wasn't
that which made the big salty drops roll
down the young lady's cheeks

Woman VS., WidoWer.

In travelling there are many queer
things to be met with as is attested by
a Wichita woman who recently made a
tour OF the south. She tells the follow
ing incident:
AT birmingham, a very pretty woman
of about forty years OF age got on the
train. She. my husband and myself were
the only persons in the sleeper and SO II
was not strange that this woman should
seek a companion in me. We had not
been talking long together when big tears
came to her blue eyes and she told me all
her troubles.
She said that she was leaving her hus-
band at Birmingham and was going TO
her brother at Jacksonville. Florida. She
had married widower who had seven
children but she did not learn that he
had children until after the ceremony.
He would allow his daughters who were
grown up TO be impudent to her and she
says he treated her like a dog under his
feet She said he had cholled her. Well.
I would not have stood it.. replied | TO
her. I would kill man who attempted
70 choke me- Her answer tickled me.
She said: I would have but he had hid

ham but that she was Aing to send
some one back To kidnap him when she
got well. The, poor thing, She may be
dead by now. She had been driven from
her bed with a severe case of pneumonia.
THAT night. you should have seen the
porter. The woman evidently took some
stimuiants. for she seemed TO be dissi-
pated- Anyway. that night you could
hear her in her delirium above the roar
Of the train. The porter was in an awful
stew Of fear. He didn't know but what
any moment he would have a corpse on
his hands
