The Wyoming Journal is author
ity for the statement that there are
fifty cars loaded with corn standing
on the side tracks at Hale station in
the southern part of Jones county,
and that they have been standing
there for over month. 1t is re-
ported that the corp was consigned
to the Armour Co., Chicago, ILL.,,
and the people are wondering why
those shippers should have the bene-
fit of cars for elevator purposes,
while there is general shortage of
freight cars everywhere.
The Manchester Democrat says
not to throw salt on icy sidewalk as
it tends to spoil the cement. Over
here we don't throw a thing on the
walks but a fat woman or man on
crutches. Ice stays right where it
forms until needed for July lemon
ade; and the travelling public can
USE their airships if they don't like
to dislocate hip on slippery walk.
Snow is generally cleared away at
once by the widow ladies who own
walks, but the majority of us have
a pair of skates along and are not
so greatly Inconvenience. Win

not pay the salary Of the deputy
sheriff as it does the salaries of the
other deputy county officers. The

Mr.. Hogan claims that he employed
Bodenhofer for something like $500
per year. Thereafter the Board o
Supervisors, at the request Of thu
deputy, fixed his salary at 5000 PEI

Ministers have often resorted to
unusual methods in order to arouse
their parishioners, and the advertis-
ing which fills theaters and circus
tents has often been used to adj
vantage. Among the many peculiar
devices used to arouse an interest in
church work the one used by a
Methodist minister at Bluffton, Ind
is not without its unique features.
Discouraged by the lack of interest
in church work in his community,
and having exhausted the usual
means of bringing the unheeding
ones to realization of their duty,
the minister went to the church at
an early hour one Sunday evening
and began to tolling the bell In
,nediately the people gathered to
learn who had passed into the great
beyond. Then the minister remark
ed that while he knew of no one who
had physically died, he knew of a
great many who were morally and
spiritually dead. It was for these
he tolled the bell. A number of
those who had gathered 10 learn the
news admitted that they belonged
to the roster OF the deceased and ex.
pressed desire for resurrection

Easily the most enjoyable feature
of the past theatrical season was the
appearance Of the quaint comedian,
wi b. Patton, Who, with 81 excel-
lent supporting company, gave local
theater goers a treat not foftena lac-
corded them, when he presented That
charming paly, aThe Slow Poke.P
The welcome accorded both star and
play bears out the Statement that
the responsibility for even the con-
firmed theater goer firing Of the
playhouse and seeking their diversion
IN other ways, has not been 50 much
with the public as with the mistak-
en notion of nany managers as to
what the public really wants The
high appreciation shown Mr. Patton
and his beautiful production, his,pro-
nogHeed speeessg in alplay Of kindly
humor and pathos bathat appeals to
ones beater self proevs it. All praise
to Mr.. Patton for demonstrating
that tl4arepis st)l ahl appre tibsi fJr
a portrayal Of chat kind Of social
life whiS th9 sopl and of the
sun, and not Of the drawing room and
the limelight. q
In Mr. 9Pattonis new play, "The
Slow Poker NE has a abeaueiful west
ern play which contains a story Of
the greater heart interest Of the age,
with truest pathos and freshest hue
NOR. He has delineated character,
has analysed motives and emotion
AMI has portrayed life without sim
gle word or action that could even
suggest offense The return engage
ment Of the company in this new play
will beyond doubt prove one Of the
most popular events Of the theatrical
season. The theater will no doubt
be packed on Mr. Patton's return to
this city Thursday evening.
