BOYS ORGANIZE UNIQUE CLUB
They Thought They Would Follow
Example of Their Elders
Methods Entirely Original.

Boys are initiative creatures. They
like to do what they see their elders
doing and sometimes they improve on
the example set them. A club woman
tells story of how her small nephew
and his friends caught the organiza-
ton fever and got up club of their
own. The methods of the Junior Ath-
letic club were entirely original. It's
business seemed to consist principally
of electing and expelling members,
the same member being taken in and
put out again several times a week.
What did you do at your meeting?"
the aunt inquired one day.

why, you elected officers last
week"
Yes, but they didn't act good, so
we thought we'd 'lect some. new ones.

"A what? Do you mean honorary?'
Yes, | guess that's it. He has to
pay dues, but he doesn't have to come
unless he can" This implied merely
that Tom was exempt from being
seized by the neck and brought into
the meeting without his own volition.
And, you see, he's got to be honor.

A Biq Bonfire.

One of the largest bonfires the
world ever saw was kindled about
forty years ago on the Malvern hills
In Great Britain. 1t was seen at a
distance Of sixty or seventy miles.
The materials employed made a stack
thirty feet high and thirty feet square.
There were used in building this pile
$50 fagots, twelve poplar trees. two
tons of coal, five cords of wood, four
loads of hoop poles, two loads OF
furze, two barrels of tar, twelve empty
tar barrels and barrel of naphtha.
This mass Of infammable material
was piled on hilltop 1000 feet high.
There have been much larger fires
IN nearly every large city, but this
holds the record for fun fires"

Shawnee, OKLA, April 21.-John
Rodgers, who furnished Fred S. Cold
well, state enforcement officer under
former Governor Haskell, with the
first information which led to the in
dictment of several prominent county
officers, including district judge, and
who was the states star witness at
the trials, has been found guilty in the
county court of violation of the state
prohibition law and sentenced to pay
"a fine of $500 and serve sixty days on
the county roads.
It is said some of Rodgers former
friends were active in his prosecution,
as they resented his action in blow
