Hoisinqton,

MISS Fannle Degen lelt Tor han-
sas City Monday night to look up
suitable quarters for the family who
will move there the last of this
month. Mr.. Degen will spend the
greater part of his time at Hosing-
ton looking after his business but Mr.
Degen and the children will make
their home at Kansas City where
they will have good advantages In the
way of schooling. We regret to see
this estimable family leave Hoising-
ton but trust they will enjoy their
new home in Kansas City. Mr.. Deg
en- has lived in Hoisington since the
early history of the town and his
home has been the scene of many
social functions and will be missed
in the future.
/ Quite a crowd collected at the
home of G. w. Heltemes Monday ev-
ening to see a Night Blooming Ger
Gus. This is quite a rare flower
and not much is known about them
except by botanists. The flower
comes from a stem that grows off
the side Of one Of the large leaves
and opens only once year and then
at night between the hours of 5 and
IL o'clock. The plant owned by Mr..
Heltemes is a fine specimen and the
flower was a beautiful one.
1t was put in alcohol and Is now
on exhibition at Farnsworth's.
W. W. Truxal, two sons and one
daughter left Monday night for a
visit with relatives in Ohio, Illinois
and Pennsylvania.
The Is month old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Waller Boyd, southwest Of town
has been quite sick but is improving
Chas. Vancil, city bill potser Of
Great Bend was here last week dis.
tributing literature and while ramb
ling around town, counted the hous
les and found total of 4O2 resi-
Idences and SO business houses. Ot
the above total 200 were on the
east side of main street and 270 on
the west side. He found rs vacant
houses but of those were under con
struction which only left II and
no doubt the greater part of them
were rented and being moved into.
The little son of Mr.. and Mrs
Clyde Allen broke his arm again
Sunday. DR.. Koch set the injured
limb.
W. S. Vincent raised a fine crop
of pears on the lots north of his liv.
cry barn this year. It seems as II
any kind of fruit can be raised in
Barton county if given the proper
care.
Hamlin, the little son of M. and
Mrs. Mandy Keener had one of his
hands badly lacerated at the home
of his uncle, Dan Keener Monday
evening, by getting mixed up with
belt and pulley.
Sam Shattuck left Friday night
for an extended visit with relatives
in Ohio. He will attend a meeting
of his regiment while there and ex.
poets to have some good times with
his old comrades.
We understand that the Modern
Woodmen of American have given up
the Log Rolling that was to have
been held here August 2S or rather
the camp clerk, ]. P. Walker did as
he could not get the members to help
him out with the entertainment
This will be great disappointment
as the Log Rolling was already very
well advertised and Hoisington would
have seen a big crowd.

The first time we were ever in

the barber, simply because We kick

he was paid the Is cents, he offered

Small Bet NobIy Paid.

Lord Falmouth-who bred horses,

trainer that paragon, John Scott-never
bet but once He had a promising
filly, Queen Bertha. and she was the
favorite for the Oaks in 1862. She had
apparently fallen Off In condition, and
her owner put no confidence in her.
Falmouth was inclined to scratch her,
when Mrs. Scott, John SCOTS wife,
spoke up for her favorite. 4'I'll lay
your lordship sixpence she wins" said
MrsssScott. laughing. For once Lord
Falmouth broke his rule never to bet
and exclaimed, "Done, Mrs. Scottg'
So Queen Bertha, with Tom Aldcroft
up, appeared at the post and, thanks
to the brilliant riding Of her jockey,
beat Marigold by short head for the
first place. Lord Falmouth paid his
bet to Mrs. Scott In noble fashion. He
procured brand new sIxpence from
the bank. had it set round with dia-
monds and mounted as brooch and
in that form presented 1t to the comely
mistress of Whitehall.

Hocus Pocus and That Sort Of Thing

catching them as they returned. Soon
his hands were motionless. but the
balls kept ascending and, SO far as /
know. are ascending still. They did
not return. Were they dematerialized

Is my opinion. During my stay in

mountain a genuine psychic and seer.
He was truly venerable mystic. In a

a similar manner. This was genuine

TWO BOYS TRY TO FIX WELL AND
ARE AsPHYxIATED BY
FOUL GAS.

Maddox, N. D., June s.-Herman
and George Piechler were suffocated
by foul gas in a welll near this town.
In the absence of their father, who
had ordered them to get windlass
ready to clean the well, they decided
a windlass was unnecessary and start
ed to work to clean the well, using
only a rope. Herman, aged Is years
sent George, aged IL, down into the
well to get some debris. George
found conditions lnfavorable for work
after being down only few minutes.
He called upon Herman to pull him
up. Herman proceeded to pull on
the rope and had George about half
way UP, when he lost his hold and
fell back into the well. Herman
became excited and went down the
rope in desperate effort to rescue
George. George was dead and Her.
man was nearly SO when they were
found. Herman died soon after.

like a girl his father used to tell about
in Ireland.
This girl was the daughter Of a
poor man, and every week or so she
used to come to the village rectory
with q pheasant or a hare to sell. The
price she asked was low, and for a
time the pastor bought Of her. Then,
somehow, his suspicious were aroused.
The next time the girl called he said

Tt is good, fresh game you bring,
my dear, and your price Is always rea-

pheasants and hares honestlyY

IAN Odd Place Of Worship.

Burma can show the Oldest place of
worship to be found anywhere in the
world. Some miles out Of Moulmein,
In the middle Of great plain, stands
lone rock so peculiar In form as
never to be forgotten after once seen.
Ages ago the caves which honeycomb
this fortress were transformed from
the habitats Of bats and wild animals
into places of devotion. Thousands OF
images Of Buddha are carved on the
walls, and in every chamber bronze,
stone or wooden gods are standing, sit
ting or reclining in endless silence. 1t
Is computed that many millions of feet
have pressed the earthen floors Of these
sacred caverns. Boston Transcript.
