The curious things which oc.ue In

an account Of woman who was
guilty of SO infamous proceeding as

sistant was In the act Of showing her
some dress stuffs. accompanying the
exhibition with the usual eloquence of
these individuals.
The second related the acuteness Of
two tranps who conceived the idea of
going to a fancy dress ball in their
ordinary attire. AS may be imagined,
they devoted the best part Of their
time to a serious inroad on the re-
sources Of the supper room, much to
the amusement Of the whole party.

guests who had been invited to the
entertainment and who. having made
themselves up with exceptional skill

adopted. One hundred and fifty or
more Of the townspeople, young and
old, gave willing contributions. An ar

The modern reporter hanks back to
the reign Of Queen Anne and to the
unknown scribe who attempted to tell
the public the secrets Of her parlia-

to itself. In 1928 an order was passed
that 1t Is an indignity to and breach

with his heels and dealt the boy kick
on the head which stretched him on
the ground. where he lay rubbing his
woolly pate on the spot where the kick
had been received.
"Is he hurt? Is he hurt?" cried the

mules heels, shouted out:

Benton and Barton.

In the Thirty Years In the United

ton. Missouri's famous United States
senator, there is scant mention of Ben
tons colleague from Missouri. David
Barton. The only place in which his
name occurs is where Senator Benton
gives the roll call Of the senate. and
Barton's name Of course is therein
contained. Benton undertook to pun
ish Barton by ignoring him and thus
relegate the first United States sena-
tor from Missouri to oblivion. Barton
had brought about Benton's election to
the senate. Barton was first named by
the legislature. and there was long
contention as to the second senator
ship. Finally Barton's friendship for
Benton brought about Benton's cleo
ton. Later the two quarreled over the
appointment Of an Indian agent in the
far west and drifted further and fur

The first necessity Of rational street

rsame tree, no matter how extensive
the lines; there are added strength
and dignity with each successive mile.

sstraight lines of planting should be of
&naoe kind only. The continuity serves

"SYI Is about as cheerful as driving
