One Of the most charming affairs
Of recent years. and a happy reminder
Of other days, was the New Years eve
party given Saturday evening by Ex-
Governor and Mrs. Edward Curtis
Smith at their palatial home seven
Acres to about 100 friends. The fea-
ture OF the evening was the song re-
cital by Frederick w. Bancroft OF
Montpelier. the program including
some Is of the old time English, Irish
and Scotch songs and ballads, delight
fully portrayed and received with every
evidence OF hearty appreciation by the
select audience. Dancing followed un-

on New Years night. The facts az nearly
as they can be learned are that MIR.
Sweeney returned home Sunday night and
went to the kitchen to get a glass of wa
ter. This he had evidently done and
while turning off the faucet with one
hand and the electric light with the other,
he formed a complete circuit and received
the full charge of about 900 volts, which
came from the crossing OF the high pow
er transmission wires, with the stem
down line, which latter supplies the house
with lighting current. The fall Of tho
body was heard and when discovered,
Doctors Davidson and Morton were hur-
riedly summoned, and although they
worked faithfully over the body for an
hour and a half, exhausting every rem
edy and esource known to the pro-
~fession, recuscitation was impossible, and
from all indications the unfortunate man
was killed instantly. Inc heavy aleet and
rain storm OF the day had badly disar-
ranged the wires about town in general,
and IL Is supposed that the crossing Of
electric transmission and high powered
wires was the direct cause of the falil-
ity. Edward u. Sweeney was the son Of
the late John c. and Julia Sweeney and

Kansas Hiking Clubs on Long Trudge

country is something to think about.
The business men organize a walk
ing club, the Peripatetic club or the
Weston Wabblers or something like
that. and select a captain. 1t is the
captains business to pick out the road
over which the hike will be made on
Sunday morning and notify his COM
pany. Another Of his duties is to have
a conference with Mrs. Jones or Mrs.
Smith or Mrs. Brown, who happens
to live five or six miles out on the
road selected, and arrange with her
to have ready a steaming hot break
fast of fried chicken. brown gravy,
biscuits and alfalfa honey at seven
o'clock Usually the price for such q
Sunday morning breakfast out in the
country is so cents a plate.
During the last summer the farm
ers' wives who have prepared these
feasts for the mixers have been astir
early. They watch down the road for
the column of walkers to come over
the hill. and then they take the bis
cults and fried chicken out OF the
oven. The table is always set when
the men arrive. and It is the evidence
of every Kansas woman who has en-
tertained the mixers that they are
hearty eaters.

Western Cities Are to Have Pennies

q ALT LAKE CITY, Utah.-After
, years OF turning up noses at cheap
people Of the east who would need
such a small coin as a penny In do
ing their daily business. there a
been developed a real call in the west
for these same coins. 1t is largely
due to the feeling of the housewives
that much money could be saved in
their buying at the shops and In other
ways If they had the small pieces OF
money. A movement has been put
under way for the banks to import
the coins, and some of the shops are
already advertising wares for sums
that change into pennies.
When an inquiry was recently made
into this subject by persons interested
II was found that less than 10000
pennies were in Salt Lake City. Many
of them were held by the banks. which
said they had difficulty in disposing OF
them. AS In other cities in the west,
the nickel had been the small coin

Moving Picture Shows Grip Chicago

n HICAGO.-The moving picture show
u is putting baseball far in the shade
in its bid for popularity. In Chicago
there are four persons who attend
moving picture shows for every one
that attends a baseball game Moving
picture fang are becoming more and
more numerous, and their patronage
is becoming so popular that the pro-
prietors are giving more than 80 per
cent. more pictures for a nickel than
they did a year ago. The records OF
the moving picture bureau Of the po-
lice department in charge Of Sergt-
jeremiah 'O'Connor show that there
are SIS shows In Chicago. Besides
these. all of the large yaude ville
houses are running moving pictures,
and the craze has reached such pro-
portions that the centrally located the
aters even are presenting pictures be-
tween the acts.
The first moving-picture shows were
established in 1908. The first neigh
borhood theaters were located In re-
modelled store buildings. The public
took to them quickly and they grew in
number rapidly. All were not success
full. principally because every Tom,
Dick and Harry who had a few dol
lars to invest bought a moving picture
machine. rented a place and made a
bid for patronage.

NEW YORK.-Why are there 30
IN many fat women" A man rushing
upon his doom asked this question.
He spoke OF the increasing prevalence
Of large feminine persons, not with
admiration. but with profound dismay.
why are there SO many fat women"
he reiterated. II have watched the
passing throng in several cities and
while one fat man was passing | have
counted not fewer than four fat WON
en-. This ratio has held true when
wei and wherever ] have had occa-
sion TO take observations.
These m are, for the most
part. between t~hirty-fve and ffty-five
years old. They either waddIe ponder
ously or propeI themselves forward
with not the slightest ~perceptible
freedom of motion, looking the while
like statues moving on rollers. The
alarming c~orpulence OF u middle
aged women is getting serious. They
seem to be fattening for a slumber-
GUS old age.
"If one looks about in New York
theaters and restaurants the concIu-
sion that the New York women seen
there are about twenty pounds over
weight looms large and inevitable.

r OPEKA, Kan.-If walking is good
j exercise for the city man on Sum-
day, why is it not good for him on any
other day of the week? That is a
question which not less than twenty
hiking clubs are considering in as
many Kansas towns. Golf and auto
MODELLING are threatened by this new
system of exercise. Edward Payson
Weston when he walked through Kan
sas a year or more ago started the
idea of hiking clubs among the bust
ness men of the towns and cities. In
forty or fifty towns clubs were formed
to go on walks on Sunday morning
Sunday was chosen because 1t was the
only day the business men could de-
vote to exercise. Now they are plan
ming in several towns to make two or
three hikes each week. An early
morning walk and a fried chicken
breakfast FIVE or six miles out in the

Those handled by experienced show
men prospered. A moving-picture in
spection bureau was established, and
after the usual red tape and delay It
got down to working order. The Chi
cage bureau has been so well handled
at all times that 1t is acknowledged
to be the best in the United States.
Seventy thousand feet Of films are
inspected every week by the bureau.
The seven police officers in charge
are responsible for the supervision
and censorship of all the theaters in
the city, their inspections extending to-
both sides OF the footlights. Souvenir
postal cards offered for sale in Chi
cage also are under their inspection.
From two to ten sets OF pictures
are rejected each week. "Cutouts" are
ordered In perhaps an average OF a
dozen sets of films each week. The
police censors order cut every scene
which II enacted within their sight
would be prohibited by law II pre-
scented in reality.
