Another law that seems to have
become a dead letter is the one re-

There is something about the
appearance of the principal streets
of Medicine Lodge that increases
our faith in the efficacy of a ''goed
roads movement"
We observe that at a recent meet

thems. The account does not state
whether the tender was accepted
or rejected.
The Kiowa Journal has a picture
of a street scene in Kiowa during

that city: We fear no contradic-
i tion in saying that the scene was
not that bad.

We pass the Stubbs- Topeka
Club "scrap" with the simple re-
mark that if the Club is too wick

table.
bod CASTOR says that when a
thing isn't very good to eat, they
call it "delicacy." That explains

wise temperate in their habits and
sane in other matters, will persist
in eating chile.

good air every time tha..' hear Ct a
case Of headache somewhere in the
state, is growing less.

ladies-married ladies-recently
entered a cafe in this city anc
munched peanuts. They neglected
to take the hulls with them upor
leaving and the charming one be
hind the counter relieved herself o
a few extemporaneous remarks afte
the leaving. Our sympathy is de
cidedly with the one who had t.
remove the hulls. We think it i
up to four husbands of this tow
to discipline their wives.
