Long to be Remembered.

The sons, daughters, grand.
children, and invited guests Of
Mrs. Elizabeth Carnell, of Dott,
will not soon forget the Christ.
mas day just past. For years 1T
has been the custom of the family
to gather at the old homestead
one day in each year, and Christ.
mas day was chosen for this
year. OF course, the dinner was
one OF the main features of the
occasion, and 1t was truly a credit
to the culinary skill of MRS. Car
nell and her daughters. Turkey,
with all the concomitants, chick.
ell, and all that goes to make up q
most excellent Christmas dinner,
was served. The decorations of
the parlor and dining room we're
all in keeping with the day and
the beautiful tree, standing In
one corner of the parlor was sim.
ply a delight to the little children.
Numerous gifts we're gwen and
received, and as we saw the gifts
presented to our hostess-among
them a reclining Morris chair, a
black dress pattern, a beautiful
set of furs including a fur hood,
hand painted china and Japanese
ware and innumerable smaller
gifts, we thought that, that lady
could not question the devotion
Of her children.
Those present to enjoy the day were
James r. Sharpe, wife (Laura) and
four chiIdren-Thurman, Verde, Ada
and Stanley; Jas. A. Truax, wife
I (Mollie) and daughters, Floye and
Madeline; John Hess, wife (Florence)
and daughter, Thelma; John Carnell
and wife; VIM. Carnell wife and chill
dren, Pearl, Hazel, Della, Frank and
Blanche; Bert Carnell, Miss Maye
Carnell, granddaughter and our
enterprising merchant Samuel M.
Carnell. The friends invited were
Mrs. Maria Spencer, Rev. Jesse
Kaufman wife and little daughter
Alberta; D. Garland, wife and son
Maoshall; Milton B. Hill, wife and
daughters, Kittie and Vivian; Misses
Belle Mellott and Mamie Spencer,
Roy Rice Of Union and Nathan Truax
of Pleasnt Ridge.
A GUEST.

WHY HE WAS BAsHFuL.
Asked Questions About Topeka That
Were Not TactfuI.

A Hutchinson girl declares this
story to be true. She was visiting at
q small Kansas town recently, and
while there her hostess gave a party
In her honor, and invited the pick of
the whole countryside. Among the
guests was boy who had been to To-
peka. so she had heard.
She had some acquaintance in To
peka and tried to draw him out, in
quiring: How did you like Topeka7"
The young fellow blushed and
looked down before he murmured:
"Oh, pretty we'll"
do you know many people there?"
she continued, trying to get him In
tercsted. and attributing his reticence
to bashfulness.
why, not many" he said, tugging
ut his collar, as II It we're strangling
him.
II suppose you went to the park
while you were thereT" she asked.
NO" he replied. II did not attend
any OF the affairs at the park.
She talked about other things. and
later. when an opportunity came.

General Cooperation Among Farmers
Needed to Secure Results.
One thing needed in the country is
more general cooperation among
farmers to accomplish results which
cannot be done single-handed. Every
farmer in the country would approve
OF good roads. especially at this sea.
son OF the year, when there is no bot
tom In some localities. But compare.
lively few farmers are willing to dig
down In their pockets and pull up the
necessary cash with which to pay for
these good roads. There Is a unani.
nous howl for hard roads, but no
funds are available with which to
build them. Owners In the big cities
have to pay for the pavement in front
OF their property, even though they
have no vehicles Of any sort to wear
them out. Farmers, of course, are not
willing to stand a similar expense,
but 1t does seem that some system of
local taxation could be devised that
would be fair and just to all. Cost
Of material Is not great, but hauling
and putting 1t down properly is the
sticker. The cost Of transportation
has been figured out as follows:
BY sea freights, one-tenth Of one
cent per ton per mile.
BY railroads, one cent per ton per
mile.
BY good roads, seven cents per ton
per mile.
BY ordinary country roads. rs cents
per ton per mile.
Ninety per cent. Of every load by
steamship, railroad or express must
be carried by wagon or truck over q
highway. 1t costs the farmers of the
United States nearly three times more
than those Of Europe to market an
equal tonnage OF farm products.

The Ladies' World.

The Ladies World for January
starts of with an excellent table
of contents and the promise of
another very interesting year.
The remarkable articles on The
Day of the Boy, which have been
running for a few months, are
brought to an end with one on
The Work Of the Y. M. 9. A a
really wonderful work of saving
goes on quietly, perslstently and
effectively under the wise guild
ance of the managers of these
institutions. Such articles as
these are we'll worth while. Flor
ence Morse Klngsley's story OF
Francesca moves rapidly, and
brings the family to the gate of
the new world, where the new
home Is to be made. The plot
thlckens and there is hint of
tragedy in the future chapters.
We are sorry to part with A Mel
ody In Silver, which is one Of the
prettiest novelettes we have read
for long time, but the ending
was very satisfactory. The short
fiction is good, particularly the

can boy Pedro, and ClaraMorrls' 8
