Feared a Sextette.

Two ladies who had known each

street. Both of them were married
to musicians. The one, a bride of a

Oiling a Kansas Road.

Some time ago a mile of country
road south of the city was oiled under
the direction of the Sedan CONNER
cial Club. Fifty dollars was paid for
this and it was all raised by public
subscription. The oil had to be
hauled so far that the cost of hauling
was almost equal to the price of the
oil. Nevertheless, the total cost OF
dragging the road and soaking it in
oil was only $50. The road was oiled
in May and is yet in almost as good
condition as it was when finished. 1t
is well rounded up with good drain
age and the oil had made it solid,
something like asphalt pavement.
The road is the talk of the farmers.

Johnson, a Swedish woman, forty

treatment for a fully developed case
Of hookworm. In the past year Miss

Doubt has been expressed among
physicians whetherthe hookworm was
ever found in the Northern States
where conditions are not favorable to
the disease. The discovery of this
case leads local physicians to believe,
however, that other cases may exist
in New England, which have passed
hitherto as anemia or intestinal af-
