Miss Iodoform can make the finest I

on the onion odors.
a Family Reunion After Death.
An incident occurred in the Hay
Press office last week which mortified
US much. In writing OF the death of
Gene Graves, our pioneer tanner, we
closed the obituary by saying that he
had gone to meet his fathers, and so
headlined the article. Our foreman.
who didn't like Graves. had the audac-
ity TO lift out our heading and insert
one of his own, TO our own and the
family's distress. For the heading:
Gone to Meet His Fathers" he sub
stituted: "A Family Reunion in HELL
An Old Settler Didn't Settle.
GIL Fish was elected president of
the Old Settlers society at the yearly
meeting held in the opera house Thurs
day afternoon. Gil IS an old settler
all right, all right, judging from the
way he pays his debts. He has owed
US two years for job printing bin of
So, which is getting to be an eyesore
on our books. We wish Gil would set
tie it. The Old Settlers society should
bar or expel members who don't settle
old bills.
An UnNvise Confession.
Pete Pogue made a fool of himself
during his wife's absence In England.
and a bigger fool Of himself when she
returned recently. He voluntarily con
fessed to her that while she was away
he had firted with Miss Carrie Kut-
shot. the gifted soprano of the Zion
church choir, of which Mrs. Pogue Is
member. OF course there was q
scene, in fact, several of them. 1t was
with difficulty that Pete restrained his
wife from hurrying out and clawing
Miss Kutshot.
Pete might have saved himself the
trouble of informing his wife about
the Irritation with Miss Kutshot. The
members of the choir would have told
her quick enough.
Odd Loss of Subscribers.
The Hay Press lost four subscribers
in an odd way lately. Two months ago
we thought it would be a good piece OF
news and enterprise to print the adj
dresses of Hopkins and Pembroke peo-
pie who had moved west. AS we eX-
pected it was interesting Information
to home readers, especially so to the
creditors of the distant Hay Press
subscribers. who deluged them will
duns. AS a result one Nebraska, one
Iowa and two Kansas subscribers stop
ped the paper. and the end, we fear
is not yet
King Lear Lost I'm Shuttle.
The Uplift club listened to a thought
full paper on King Lear's insanity by
our intellectual townswoman, Mrs
Anse Slocum, Wednesday afternoon. =
discussion followed the reading of thu
paper. King Lear was sidetrackeC
early in the game by members whC
were more interested in discussing TIT
insanity phases of the Thaw trial.
The Uplift club will be addressed a
its next meeting by Miss Corneiia Bay
rum, president of the state womani
suffrage society.
Miss Bayrum affects masculine attire
She wears a mans hat and a JACKIE
that partakes of a Tuxedo coat and tn
sleeveless vest worn by Spanish women
Her hair is close cut, almost cropped
The wife of the Hay Press edito
thinks that Miss Bayrum is all RICH
in her makeup. We don't. If suf
fering women expect to get their politi
cal rights the concessions must com
from men, and men don't like wome
suffrage champions that wear male at
tire and have their hair cropped Xix
