PLEASANT GROVE.

| Special 10 tie Nrios.
Pleasant weather is the order of the
| day
Mr.. Hardwick, pension agent, was
here one day last week in the interest
of Rebecca Hancocks pension.
H. Hancock was over here Sunday on
business.
Calvin E.. Hancock and wife and Mar
tina Quarles were at church at Pleasant
Hill Sunday.
Work is being started on the She'll
mound road this week.
Every body is busy blowing in this
neighborhood preparing for planting
corn.
Mourning Bride thinks she has Hard
scrabble on snag on that question as
to where Job was. Gen. 81 says God
created the heavens and the earth and
all the host Of them so | think Job must
be in that number. Now as to Cain
marrying his sister. 1t is not true, for
it was about $40 years before any girls
were born to Adam. Read Gen. 4:13-17,
and you will find Cain was afraid of
some one killing him and the 25th verse
4 says q son was born which is the third
child that we have any account of, and
this took place about 1870 years after
Cain and Abel were born. Gen. 5: And
the days of Adam after he had begotten
Seth were 800 years, and he begat sons
and daughters Now Mourning Bride
this is beautiful, man marrying wo-
man $50 years before she is born. | am
sorry for Mourning Bride that she made
such blunder as she did. AS | said
before, Cain was afraid some one would
kill him SO the Lord put mark on him
to prevent it, and God told Cain he
would take vengeance ON whosoever
killed him sevenfold, plainly proving
that there was nation OF people over
there in the land of Nod where Cain
found his wife, and it was not his sister
either. Now, Mourning Bride, | will
answer that question who was the faith
err of Zebedee's children by asking you
one. Who was the father of Fl. Han
cocks children? When you answer thai
you will find the answer you ask for.
Now, Mourning Bride, will give you
two puzzles. What river in South
America is the headwaters of two large
rivers, and Where is John, the Reyela
tor, and what became of him? Give
chapter and verse.
Will now tell Dulcinia how many
geese A had. 1t was 80. Looks like
any goose could answer that.

The Santa Fe reading room added
another success to the series Of
delightful entertainments il has
given this season in the appearance
at Commercial College Hall Thurs
day evening Of Lou Bennett. con-
tralto soloist: Sellers Edwards. i'm
personator and reader. and Ger
trude Tracey, pianist. Miss Ben
nett has a rich contralto. whose
pleasing effect is heightened by the
thorough sympathy with which the
singer interprets the song theme.
Miss Tracey. as pianist, delighted
the audience with her playing. the
only regret being that she did not
see fit to respond to encores. Mr..
Edwards was announced AS a jour
nalist who should gossip about
short story writing. but his gossip
differed from much gossip in that il
was not only very entertaining but
very instructive. The two short
readings which he gave were well
chosen and artistically rendered.
Mr.. Edwards work illustrates the
truth Of the saying that "the high
est art is to conceal art" The
audience. which crowded the hall to
the doors. was very reluctant 10
leave at the close of the entertain-
tainment.

his one mate until he or she dies. II

The collector of poll tax and dog
tax is abroad in the land making his
annual rounds. Several Of our
prominent citizens have received
notices during the past week to APP
pear at the city hall at a. m. with
a shovel prepared to work out their
poll tax. but an equal number have
failed to show up with the aforesaid
shovel. probably for the reason that
a good shovel costs more than 81 50.
and for the further reason that it is
money in their pocket to hire some
one TO work out the poll tax. Peo-
pie who indulge in the luxury Of a
dog have also had to dig up one
plunk or suffer the penalty no
more dog. Up in Dakota they have
a queer dog tax law. The law
specifies that dog owners must pay
the assessor when he calls. and il il
is not paid at that time the owner i

sequence there are very few excess

The city council is being criticised
for making an effort to float bond
issue in order TO raise funds to make
necessary repairs on the wate..
plant II is quite true that a bond
issue for this purpose was voted
down by the people at the recent
city election. but it was probably
for the reason that the amount,
81. 1000. was considered excessive.
Many of the present city officials
voted for the $50. .O0O bond issue. or
at least they 50 affirm. and we have
no reason to doubt their veracity.
The city attorney has corresponded
with the Rollins Investment Com
pany. and they have expressed a
willingness to handle bond issue of
$4,000 at par. provided il is author
lied by vote Of the people. but not
otherwise. The water plant must
be repaired. 1t is absolutely i'm
perative. As the city cannot get
along without a water supply. The
city council will have to call a spec
ial election for the purpose of
authorizing . bond issue. or else

FOLK PROVED HIS DEMOCRACY

Topeka, Kan, Aug. s.-Democrats Of
this state are rejoicing that Governor
Folk. Of Missouri, takes a drink on oc-
casions. The question What kind of a
Democrat is Folky' has interested Kan
sans. 1t was not until Friday when several
leading Democrats returned with the Gov
ernor Of Missouri from the Dodge City
reunion that the question was answered.
The bottle had passed around several
times in the smoking room when Senator
Joe Dolley asked Judge Dilard Of Fort
Scott, if Governor Folk drank.
Il don't know" was the answer. ''As a
good Kansas Democrat, / would like to
know. Suppose we ask himY
The other members Of the party agreed
and the Governor. who may be a Presi-
Dental possibility was called to the
smoking room.
Were about 10 take a drink" said
Judge Dillard. the spokesman, "and we
wondered II you drank We have heard so
many conflicting stories that we thought
the best way would be to ask you"
where is the bother asked the Mis-
sourian. Thed rink Of Bourbon whisky he
took was large enough to astonish even a
Kansas Democrat, and he refused chas-
er of water.
Governor Folk is an inveterate smoker
and takes n drink whenever he feels like
it. Often he smokes 2 cigars a day.
