Happy 70 Meet General Gordon.

General Gordon was a strict disci-
Dlinarian, who would never have any
words with a private; and hence
Joke. One day, one Of the One Hun
dred and Seventh New York volun-
teers got ahead of the brigade, when
the general halted him and ordered
him back. The soldier stopped, turned
around, stared at General Gordon, and
replied: Who are your" II am
General Gordon" "Ah, general, / am
very happy to make your aoquaint-
Rnce" was the complacent answer. A
roar Of laughter burst from the gen
erals star.

All Snakes Are Killers.

But all snakes, great and small, are
killers. All of them eat creatures
which they slay. None eat vegetable
food of any kind Nor will they eat
animals which they find dead. That
is one reason, no doubt, why they have
always been Stunned and dreaded by
human beings.

BOUQUETS FOR POLICE FORCE

Chairman Freeman OF the police
committee stated TO the council
Monday night that he believed the
police department was doing good
work. Nation and FisOn also were
gratitied with the activity Of which
they were reading. Johnson's COM
ment was that he never before heard
a police force receive SO many compli-
mepts.
Later in the evening Johnson him
self was made police man plenlpoten-
tiary for the purpose of helping to lid
the town { f dogs that fOuIi,h in the
community with no Indication that a
tax has been paid for them. This super
fluffy of dogs is one of Johnson'S pet
aversions and atout once IN so often
he inquiries to know what is being
done for the eXterminatiOn of un-
tagged Fidos. Upon his suggestion
that the chief of police should cause
dog exodus or collect taxes for more
OF the CANNES, the council passed the
motion of Stewart and Nation that
the mayor appoint some enthusiastic
and worthy citizen TO assist the
police committee in the matter.
Mayor Beach promptly designated
Johnson who responded with neat
speech of acceptance.

PREPARATION FOR
ROAD DRAG EXPERT
Commercial Club Has Invited
Township Officers Of Coun-
ty to Hear King.

The Commercial Club with the
active cooperation of the Good
Roads Commission is making every
preparation to give D. Ward King,
the famous road drag man of Matt
land, Mo-, hearty reception when
he visits Chanute next week on
December IL. Invitations have
been sent to the trustee, clerk and
treasurer of all the townships of
Neosho county to be present to
hear Mr.. Kings lecture on the SUBJ
ject of good roads, and to see any
demonstration which he may wish
make of the working of his road
drag. The farmers are becoming
thoroughly interested in the pro-
posed visit as in increasing measure
they are recognizing the value of
good roads to them in marketing
their crops. Among them are
leaders who in previous years re-
fused the election Of road overseer
but who now realize the possibili-
ties of making such an Office an
honor to themselves and a benefit
to the community.
w. B. Wylie who is manager for
Mr.. Kings trips has not reported
whether an open air meeting will
be desired at which an actual dem
onstratlon of the road drag will be
made or whether Mr.. King will sim
ply lecture and explain methods.
Chairman Nation of the streets and
alleys committee will be prepared
to offer the use of team and drag
if they are desired. The Chanute
Auto club will do all in its power to
make the occasion a success. 1t
has been suggested that township
officers in the eastern part of Will
son county also be invited as they
control territory whose citizens do
much business in Chanute.

STUDENTS MUST USE
REGULAR CROSSINGS
Passing Over Santa Fe Tracks
at Third Street Is
Dangerous.

A renewed effort is to be made TO
discourage high school students
from the west side of the city from
passing over the Santa Fe railroad
tracks except at the Main street and
Seventh street crossings. To avoid
going around a few blocks it has
been the habit of number of stu
dents to cross over from the west
side of the tracks at point which
will bring them to east Third street.
Santa Fe Detective Sam Whitehead
reported to Superintendent J. F.
Hughes Tuesday evening that the
students should be specifically
warned against the habit because of
the danger to which it subjected
them from trains passing in the
railroad yards. He wished speci-
ally to notify the parents OF four
high school girls who within the
last two weeks narrowly escaped
death or at least serious injury.
Because a long string of cars inter
cepted the passage of the girls they
risked passing between two cars by
crouching and passing beneath the
coupling. A switch engine at
that moment struck the south
end of the cars so that the
girls were nearly caught between
them. Officer Whitehead empha-
sized the fact that even an adult is
in danger in crossing the railway
Yards at Third street and that 1t is
especially dangerous for high school
students who are apt to be talking
and giving no heed to passing
switch engines. In case of accl-
dent the Santa Fe could not be held
liable for damages as there is no
public crossing between Main and
Seventh streets. Fully coinciding
with the views of Officer Whitehead
in regard to the danger to students
Superintendent Hughes had the
matter called to their attention al
the high school yesterday.
