he merry Widow"

An exchange gives the following di
rections for making the merry Wild
ow," that, which seems to be all the
rage in head gear this year. Weduote
this for the benefit of the ladies-men
please do not read:
The Merry Widow hats for ladies are
the rage all over the country. The
Webster City Qowa) Freeman gives
the following directions for making
them:
'"Take one cart wheel. Superimpose
on the hub one wire waste paper bas-
ket. Stitch on cover of white fishing
net over green mosquito bar from your
last seasons camping outfit. Around
this crown bank few sunhowers and
daisies, brown roses and cerese and
crimson chrysanthemums, a bunch of
tall grass, a spray of lavender hlacs,
alice blue hyacinths, stalk of holly
hooks, purple and varigated petunias,
pink yerbena and candy tuft intersper-
ed with the blue and brown forget-me-
nots. Next take ffty-three yards of
lavender colored ribbon edged with
cerese, and, construct number Of
loops for either side of the front of the
hat, extending from the center of the
front of the crown to either outer edge
of the brim, using as braces or stiffen-
ing long strips of bamboo. In the
center of this dainty bow place the
garden gate, the latest fad in Merry
Widow buckle. Should the ribbon not
be forthcoming two canoe paddles Sc
cured by the above mentioned buckle
and appropriately tinted will serve
satisfactory. A golf stick, a garden
rake and flag pole will give jaunty
effect as hat pins. These are only a
few hints in regard to the material for
the home manufacture of the popular
Merry Widow hat. Any changes may
be made or fixtures added to suit the
maker, for anything is in style if the
size is maintained.

Pays Taxes on Corn for Eleven Years

Among the personal effects that An
ton Kinder will hand in to the assessor
this year is 1000 bushels of corn crib
bed by him in 1896 and upon which he
has paid taxes regularly for eleven
years. Mr.. Kinder always carries
over certain amount of old corn as a
reserve to be drawn upon in case of
crop failure, and as this portion Of his
1896 crop was put into a good crib
where it was difficult to get at he has
carried it over instead of portion of
any more recent crops. The corn is
as bright and firm as ever, evidently
good for any number of years yet.
Mr.. Kinder is one of the big farmers
in this community. He raises several
thousand bushels of corn every year
and has on hand enough of last years
crop to carry him through next year
even though there should be an entire
failure. -Esbon Times.

The Yocemento Road.

1t is understood that representative
of the railroad was here this week look
ing over the new mill work of Yost,
the paving of the railroad crossings
and the question of a direct roao to
Yocemento.
His idea is to have the road go west
TO the bridge, across track and along
south side as now, then cross the track
again and along the north side direct
to the new town, the Yocemento peo-
pie agreeing to bridge the creek from
their mill to town. He will recommend
that the company allow the county the
free use of the 100 feet until such time
as the company may need it, the coun-
ty to have their road-overseer of that
district keep the weeds down and road
In condition and private individuals to
put up two-wire fence along the out
side of the roadway without expense to
the railroad
This is all anybody can ask and it
protects the railroad, lets the county
have good road and the adjoining
farms good fence to build to.
To the people of Hays this road is a
very important matter and should be
acted on at once. The mill will be in
operation within a month and employ
many laboring men who will live in
that town, but who will often come to
Hays for their main trading. 1t will
also employ many superintendents and
professional men at high salaries. These
men and their families will want to
live in Hays, with its schools, churches
and society and go back and forth to
their work each day. Mr.. Baker, the
general superintendent, has already
rented the Sweeney house on Gospel
Hill for his family and is getting a
runabout auto to go to his work The
others will do the same and we should
have the best road possible between
the two towns, so they will locate here
instead of building out there. Our
business men and citizens generally
shonld therefore do all they can to
quickly open a good. direct road be-
tween the two towns. 1t is not senti-
ment but purely matter of business
for this town.

What. Do the Stripes Stand For?

How many of our readers can tell US
what the stripes on the barber pole sig
Nifty? You see the pole with its stripes
and you know there is barber shop
back of the pole, but here the know
lege of the average person ceases. In
the early days BARRIERS did the bleeding
for the community and surgeons were
not as plentiful as now. The first thing
thought necessary, way down to the
time of George Washington's death,
was that any patient should be bled.
Tap him, and take a few ounces of
blood from him, no matter how weak
he might be. When Washington was
at the last gasp, the fools bled him.
Well, the red stripes on a barber pole
mean the red ribbon bandages that bar
bers bound over the wounds caused by
bleeding people. That's all. When
they got through with plethoric man,
of full habit and had tapped him like a
hard maple tree in February, he was
patched up and bandaged till his arms,
legs and. trunk looked like much-gar-
tered leg.

Hrrest Booze" AGENTS.

The following may occur in Hays
some day. An exchange says: son
Tuesday James Fluker, a travelling
salesman of the Royal Brewing Com
pany of Kansas City, Mo-, was arrest
ed and fined $500 and given sentence
of thirty days in jail for soliciting or
ders in Junction City. He was after
wards released upon the payment OF
the fine and costs, and an agreement
being made by the attorney of the
company, and also a number of pro-
mises which were made with regard to
keeping out of the state in the future.
Kansas will have to deal severely with
these agents if her cities and towns
are to be kept clear of them.

Normal Defeats swe6es 2 TO o.

The Bethany College baseball team,
Lindsborg, was defeated here by the
Normal 20 in fast and closely con-
tested game of base ball Wednesday
afternoon. They were scheduled to
play two games, one on Tuesday after
noon and the other on Wednesday but
the heavy rain Monday and Tuesday
prevented the playing of the first
game and necessitated the making of a
new diamond on the grass for Wednes-
days game.
The game was very interesting for
the spectators as but three safe hits
were made and the only errors made
were three by the visitors. Bear, the
slant artist for the Normal, did great
pitching and the Swedes secured only
one safe hit. Seven strike outs were
credited to Bear against two by Lin
coin, the Swede pitcher. The latter
did good work in the box although his
pitching did not equal that of Bear; the
teachers secured two safe hits off him,
one two bagger by Goetz. Two or
three star plays were made by the
home boys-one put out at second
base, when Claude Bice caught a fly
foul and threw it to the center fielder
who snapped it to Vernon Bice at Sec
ond and the latter tabled Thorsten-
berg who was trying to steal third on
supposed overthrow; a tumble and
quick recovery by Bear was another
play by the locals which was accorded
considerable applause. Only two of
the visiting team succeeded in reaching
the initial sack, Webb and Thorsten-
burg, and none of them reached third.
The two scores credited to the Normal
were made by Rutherford in the 4th
inning and Goetz in the 5th inning.
The Normal did not take their last in
ming. The following is the lineup:

p1obably an EnsIishMan.

A young man was out driving the
other evening with his best girl, the
conversation turned to fortune-telling,
he asked her if she believed in palmis-
try, she looked up demurely natively
said: "Well, 1 don't know but think
l could fortell more pleasure if | saw
the lines in one of your hands" The
young man was slow to comprehend
her meaning and sat with bowed head
and wrinkled brow until at least two
miles had been travelled when great
light broke upon him and an expansive
smile illuminated his features. He
took the lines in one hand and grasped
the situation.

The BASKETBALL GAME.

Tuesday evening in order to help out
the Normal Athletic Association, the
Bethany boys agreed to play basket
ball game with the Normal. Neither
team had played any basket ball for
couple of months and the fans really
expected slow game. AS far as the
visitors were concerned, however, they
were disappointed, for the Swedes put
up a clean game of basket ball that
was not only fast but scientific. Beth
any's two forwards. Runbeck and
Thorstenberg are cracks at locating
the basket, while the Normal goalers
were very inaccurate. The locals were
out-played at every point as the score,
49-23, would indicate. Lincoln UNI
pired and Prof. Kent refereed the
game. The attendance was fair.
