munity, and when a man gets to
be such strong partisan that he
will stretch the truth a long way
in order to assist friend and by so
doing injure every other business,
then it is time that a commission
be appointed to examine in to his
mental condition and ascertain
whether he ought to be let run at
large on account of the danger other
peoples property might be in while
he is at liberty. Now to clinch the
lie in this report we will just add
that this party never removed one

Carrie B. Cox, teacher in the high
room Of the Isabel school, went to
Wichita Friday to consult a
specialist. She returned Saturday
we'll satisfied with her trip and
with the hope to be able to teach
out the term.
Our remark last week in regard
to the Bank of Commerce failure
might be construed into a renec-
tion on the stability of the Citizens
Bank of Medicine Lodge. This
was not our intent and in view Of
the magnificent showing made by
this institution in its last state
ment would be wholly without
foundation.
One day last week a young man
in Wichita phoned to a young lady
near Nashville that he would be
down on the noon train but when
he arrived he was amazed to learn
that he had talked to the wrong
party and the lady whom he longed
for lived near Zenda, the ladies hav.
ing the same name. The last seen
of the gentleman he had hired a
rig and was on his way to Zenda.
Here's hoping that he found her.

Origin of the Christmas Stocking.

From Italy comes the legend from which we are supposed to get the time honored custom of hanging up the Christmas stocking. Good old St. Nich- olas of Padua used ,J throw long knit ted purses tied at both ends into the open windows of the very poor people, and these purses were of yarn and not unlike a footless stocking. Finally 1t became the custom of the people to hang these empty receptacles out of their windows on the night before Christmas so that St. Nicholas would put a gift into them as he passed by. By and by, when the coin of the realm became scarce, toys were put in for the children and useful presents for grown people. In the north country, where 1t was rather chilly at Christmas time, the purses were hung on the mantel- piece, and 1t was believed that the good old saint would come down the chimney and fill them. When these purses went out of fashion, stockings were substituted and have been used ever since,

The sIeaninu Rabx,s "smiIe."

It is interesting to see how old is the maternal delusion about the smiling of babies in their sleep. All children asleep are taken with a catching of the corners of the mouth, which is as un- like as possible to the real smile-the humorous and delightful little silent sketch of a laugh, appearing first at any age between a fortnight and a month. Yet human sentimentality has insisted on calling the sleeping gri- mace, due to fiatulence, smile, and even a smile caused by dreams of an gels. And St. Monica must have been as unintelligent on this point as any other matron, for St. Augustine, reviewing in his Confessions" the growth of his own mind, mentions that he had been told of the coming of ln- fantile smiles, having appeared pre- viously in sleep" Thackeray echoes St. Monica, for he shows us Amelia sitting by her child, "who was smiling in his sleep" No baby ever smiled in his sleep yet or Is ever likely to do so.
