Series of Concerts Will Be Civ
en- by Louis Elbel, Through
The Courtesy of the Starr
Piano Company.

While only partial reports were
made to the Richmond Art association

building. they were sufficient to show
that the Richmond exhibit this year
would be by far the best that has ever
been held in the city. Quality has
been the one predominating thought by
the chairmen of the different commit.
tees. Perhaps some of the exhibits
will not be as large as they were last
year. but they will be much finer in all
respects.

Piano company. a series of four con-
certs will be given by Louis Elbel. the
great pianist. in conjunction with the
regular exhibit These will be in the
nature of lectures on the development
of music and will be illustrated by Sc
lections on the piano. The lectures
will be a rare treat to the music low
ers of Richmond and many hundred
tickets are expected to be sold on the
stItHSln cI THIS one event. Inc Iec~
lures will be given four nights in sue
cession. The association voted to ac-
cept the offer of the Starr company
with thanks. The musical feature of
the local exhibit proves a great draw
ing card each year and the feature this
year is expected to be better than ever
before
Especial emphasis was laid upon the
opening night 1t was explained that
all ticket holders could attend on that
night. Purchase of ticket admits
one as member to the association for
one year.
Opens on June II.
The exhibit will open Tuesday nfgfr,
June II. and an especial effort will be
made this year to make the event an
educational one. The Misses Locke

understand what art is. This is
new feature and it is hoped to interest
the children of the city In art to
greater extent than ever before
More pains will be taken this year
than ever, in hanging the pictures.

USING RURAL MAIL
BOXES IN WRONG WAY
Merchants Lay Themselves
Liable by So Doing.
WARNED BY POSTMASTER.

Rural mail boxes throughout the
county have been utilized by various
merchants of Richmond as receptacles
for advertising material in the way of
bills and posters. These have not
been sent through the mails With the
proper postage and for each box in
which advertising matter is placed a
case can be made against the distribu-
tor. The fine for each offense is $40.
Postmaster Spekenhier has warned
the merchants against the use OF the
mail boxes in this manner as the rural
boxes are subject to the same strict
regulations as are the city mail boxes.
The merchants it is said have violat-
ed the postal laws simply through ig-
norance of them.

that your wife does not ever intend to
live with you. Get wise"

teacher and was dated Boston Il read
in part;
'If you care anything about the
reputation Of your institution, you win

''SUGARED LEMONS"
IN KANSAS

Certain rich young men in Atchison
are known by the girls as "sugared
lemons" says the Atchison Globe. The
girls say they are sticks of the choicest
rank, but that with their coating Of
money they are fairly palatable. AS
a matter of fact. the girls do not know
whether or not they are very palatable
because these young men with money
keep very much to themselves. This
is written in defense of the young men
with money and sent in by a young
man who has considerable. There is
no reason why a man with money
should be more Of q stick than young
fellow without money, but some Of the
girls think so. The men don't 1t is
very evident why the girls consider
them in such light. An irresponsible
young man who has looks but no
money, health but no wealth, a loose
tongue but no prospects and a winning
way but no speaking acquaintance
with the bank teller, can make the girls
think he is such a dear He can sit
up and talk about love by the hour He
can sit up and tell his love that her
memory is with him every moment,
night she walks with him in his
dreams. Perhaps he has cultivated
his natural gift OF CAB. He can talk
about love and spoon little, but he
can't talk about marriage. He can
go his limit in one evening.
But the stick with money can't act
that way. He has 20 20 slow. He
would like to sit up and rant about love
but he knows that If he did some
smart young girl would scream "Tm
engagedr' and he would be up against
it for life. So when he calls upon the
girl he spends most of the evening
talking with pa about the bank trouble
the crops. the bridge situation and
everything else except love and ro-
nance. He would like to marry, but
now that he has money he doesn't
want to make a mistake. OF course a
girl will Be nice to him and he has no
chance to study her true disposition
One Of the richest young men in town
recently remarked, Il would get mar
