POVERTY SOCIAL A GREAT HIT
a Large Attendance and a Roaring
Good Time

The greatest social event OF the
season took place when upwards Oi
two hundred people gathered to-
gather at the Robert COrbett resi-
dence last Friday evening. The
spacious house was filled with people
determined on having a good time.
Mrs. w. Z. Rooney was the inspiring
genius and was assisted by a corps
of efficient helpers. We have been to
before and have witnessed the pain
ful ordeal to which the attendants
were subject trying to amuse them
selves with some game that they did
not understand. The Bethany
Sisters president vowed that such
an experience should not be repeated,
so she planned Poverty Social
The affair was both timely and
seasonable, for the people of Lady
smith are all "poor." 1t was an
easy game to play and the game was
we'll played. Judging from habili-
nents some were poorer than Others
A prize was given to the poorest
man and woman. The lucky persons
were Mr.. Byron Welpton and Mrs
Ben C. Lee.
There was nothing poor about the
arrangements for the entertainment
and comfort of the guests. 1t seems
to he a foregOne conclusion that
whenever anything of this kind
takes place at the Corbett home
things will be "doneup brown" Mr.
and Mrs. Corbett are recognized as
past-masters In the art of entertain
ing They are numbered, not only
Jul OldCo(, OuU luOSC pOpultIl
residents. The impromptu program
added greatly to the JOY OF the
occasion and a dainty lunch was
served in the usual Bethany Sister
way.
Mrs. Welpton and the pastor were
there to add dignity to the occasion
and stayed long enough to prevent
the usual ''social hop" At the
proper time the people hoped home
with countenances bespeaking the
language of their hearts: "That's
right, give us another chance to
relax and we will be on hand"
Following was the program:

ment, which takes place in six weeks
time. We understand they have de-
cided to have no class play, but they
are planning something else which
will prove as good.
Some of the teachers find occasion
to scold lately. That must mean
that the pupils are not keeping up so
we'll in their studies as usual. The
spring weather or the nearing OF the
end of the school year may have some
thing to do withit. The pupils ought
not to take a rest now or they will

through the fence to see if he could
not get some milk for the kittens and
he had not covered half the distance
to the house when black dog as big
as a bear came around the corner and
started for him. He beat the dog to
the wire fence by a rod, but left part
of his wearing apparel impaled on the
sharp barbs. and when we stopped to
get breath a half mile or such mat
ter beyond, Hageman recalled the TACT
that he had dropped the kittens when
the dog started after him. The fate
of the kittens is not known to US and
though we offered to wait while Hage-
man went back after them. he de-
clined. but they were deserted in a
mighty inhospitable community, If our
reception is to be considered.
Last week we were at Abilene in
a special train run by our commercial
club and were royalty entertained, but
when Hageman attempted to stop at
the Pacific hotel, Friday night, the
clerk after carefully measuring the
party with his eye informed him that
the hotel was full. though we noticed
that he took care of two travelling
men who came in while we were talk
ing with him.
"Just before we reached Silver Lake
we came across the hardest looking
tramp that 1 ever saw anywhere, and
again Hageman got US in trouble by
insisting on introducing the entire
party to Mr.. Tramp. He Joined our
party and journeyed with us, sticking
closer than a long-lost brother until
we reached Silver Lake and when we
started for the hotel we couldn't lose
him.
I'VE suggested to him that the par
ty was expected to disband at this
point as far as he was concerned, ana
gave him two bits and suggested that
he could get a good meal at the res
taurant, and 1 suppose that he did.
We thought that we were rid of him
and were commenting on the fact. but
just after we had passed the water
tank he stepped out from a bunch OF
his companions behind a pile of ties
and rejoined the party.
ut was a mean thing to do, for he
was weary and footsore, but we walk
ed away from him and try as he could
he could not keep up with the party.
1 have expected every minute this
morning that he would appear and in
sist on renewing acquaintance, and IL
was all the fault of Hageman.

VOILES IS DROPPED.
Claims That the Charge Against Him
Was Trumpet Up.

game,' which it is claimed was
trumped UP, Detective E 6. Voiles,
the last of the competent detectives
on the Topeka police force, was dis
charged by Chief Eaton last night
The discharge of Voiles has been
expected for some time by those who
understood the inside workings of the
police department. Golf. Pavey and
Belts were discharged early in the
game on the grounds that they were
not in sympathy with the administra-
tion,' and Tim Donovan was crowded
our for the same reason, the admin
istra ton in this instance meaning
nothing but the new chief of police.
Voiles, who was a sergeant, was made
detective, and then his trouble be-
gan. AS a detective, he did all the de-
tective work accomplished after the
change of administration, although he
was handicapped by lack of assist
ance. This brought on flood of petty
jealousy and the discharge is the re-
suit.
Last night Voiles, Hutton, police
man who served under Stahl and was
repIa ced recently, and Keller Chief
Eaton's brother-in-law, recently from
Missouri, were sent out to raid a crap
game. When the officers broke into
the place where the alleged game was
in progress, nothing discriminating was
TO be found Voi1es says that this was
due to the clumsy work of Hutton and
Keller. uniformed patrolmen, who
prowled around the place before at
tempting the raid. They came back
to the station and reported that Voiles
had tipped the game" The game
was in a negro joint, where the net
proceeds would probably amount to a
dollar, and the charge was preposter-
Gus, and would be if made against the
most dishonest man on the force, I'M
der the circumstances.
Since the removal of Donovan,
Pavey and Golf, veteran detectives,
the work of recovering stolen prop
erty has fallen to VoiIes. Within the
last month he has captured Ben But
Ter, the notorious negro burglar, and
recovered a large portion of the goods
Butler had stolen; recovered several
stolen watches, two valuable rings
which were stolen over a year ago, re-
covered a diamond brooch which had
been stolen, beside a lot of other ar
ticles. His ability to capture thieves
and recover the property became
known and losers called for him.
When they called up. other officers
who might answer the telephone were
instructed to say that he was busy,
and recommend one of the other de-
tectives. The refusal of several per-
sons to tell their troubles to any but
Voiles added fuel to the fire of jeal-
Ousy.
