There was man in our town,
the people called him dumb. He
owned store, dry goods store,
to which but few would come
He had no faith in printers ink
he wouldn't advertise, and every
one classed him with the "slow
and sleepy guys But once he
thought he'd change his tack.
He went and bought some space
and started in to advertise the
goods kept at his place. In just
a week all things had changed
the folks came on the jump. For
10, they found he wasn't dumb.
He'd simply been a chump.-Ex.

Hon. G. w. Bellany Of FL Reno,
is in the city, looking after busi-

quite property owner in our
city and is thinking of investing
several thousand dollars more in
the near future. Our CONNER
cial club should assist him in this
enterprise. He don't ask any do
nation, but we should encourage
everyone who is willing to in
vest here, and show that we ap-
preciate it. The Topeka and FL
Reno Telephone Co. has given
our city splendid service, both
day and night, a service equal
to that of any city. 1t has been
a loosing proposition and our
citizens should patronize the Co.
by putting in phones in their
residences and places of business.
Much discussion has been
aroused at different times among
scientific men, the medical facul-

existence. Stranger things have
happened in the realms of science
and while the tale is an improb-
ability yet the medicine might be
possibility. Be that as it may
the delineation of the dual role,
by Mr.. Hartigan, is considered a

him it is not an imitation of some
one else-it is his own creation.
His superiority in the character
of Hyde is conceded by every
body. His realistic and fearful
intensity, his artistic work and
dramatic power have full scope
in the strange role. He holds his
audience-seems to sway them at
his will, in fact it is claimed that
like the great French actor, Tai
ma, he hypnotizes the people who
are watching him.

DINNERS TO BUSINESS MEN.
Heads Of Departments Remembered
in This Way by EMPLOYERS,


Twenty years ago the president OF
big company, the owner of big
business or industry, would as soon
have thought of asking his subordi-'
nate heads of departments to spend
the summer at his country home as
of giving them a formal dinner once
or twice year. Now the formal
dinner-givins practice is SO common
that it is almost taken for granted.
The big corporations of the country
give annual dinners to heads of de-
partments which cost thousands Of
dollars. Even mercantile firms, small
in comparison, are in the habit of
meeting their chief employees around
the dining board
There are several reasons for this
interesting development. In the first
place, Americans are learning to en-
joy the formal dinner, with it's elab-
crate menu its wine and its speeches.
Then the capitalist has come more
and more to realize how much of his
success is due to his heads of depart.
ments Oftentimes he gives them an
interest in the concern or corporation,
and Immediately they begin to. work
for the concern as well as the com
pany. Anything that will bind them
closer to the employers interests is
not overlooked, and a dinner once in
a while is one of these.

1t se'u- strange that the use OF
forks began only with our easily re-

to the Fifteenth Century they were

that era 1t was considered bad form
and ministers contended that to use
them vas to insult God. What were
our fingers for? In Thomas Coryates'
"Crudiuez." published originally in
1908. is his;
Il observed a custom in all those

the laws of good manners, in so much
that Tor his error he shall be at the
least hrOwbeaten. if not reprehended in
words. This form of breeding. | under
stand. is generally used in all places
OF Italy, their forks being for the most
part made of iron, steele and some of
silver, but these are used only by gen
tlemen. The reason for this curiosity
Is because the Italian cannot by any
means endure to have his meat touch
ed with fingers, seeing that all mems
fingers are not alike clean"
Not until the middle of the Seven
teenth Century did England's nobility
begin the use of forks, but they came
into use slowly, and even in the early
part Of the Eighteenth Century gentle
men Who travelled carried knife and
fork, because the inns were not likely
to have them. About 1915 forks be-
came quito common in Europe and
soon became to be considered general
