COnjugal Felicity.

A New England farmer, noted for
his uncomfortable temper, attended
a religious revival in the neighbor-
hood and became converted.
A month later he was holding
forth to n number of friends and
relatives gathered at the Thanks
giving dinner table, on the subject
OF religious principles, his entire
change of character, and his kind
and forbearing disposition. Finally,
growing enthusiastic in his descrip-
tim, he called on his wife to up
hold his assertions.
Jane" he shouted, you haven't
had an unkind word or deed from
me since J. got converted-now
have you?"
There was a dead silence: then
came in meek, yet reminding tones
from the other end of the table:
Jerome, Jerome, you've forgot
the time you bit me-"

Some Poetry

(On the Past and Present.
Ma mem'ry takes me back
To many year ago;
DE land on which use TO dwell.
To-day / hardly know
When Mass and Missus use to live
On dat yonder hill,
cut wood round dat very place,
Me and Ike, same as Bill.
Now ev'ry stump is cleared away,
De big log house is moved;
You can mount de train on dat very
spot
And go to wher you choose.

On dis ere little place,
But mighty men shore must abeen

Could make such fine ole place,

De new half IL go to fame,

BarnweIl County Man Says They

Barnwell, Jan. G.-John G. Hogg,
OF Blackville, thinks that he has
solved what shas been one of the
costliest problems that has con-
fropted automobile users since the
automobile first came into general
nse. namely the problem of tires.
He was in. town on Monday and
during the course of conversation
told what he has done to keep his
own tire expense down. When two
OF his tires wore out he made 9TH
ers of wood, which fit as snugly in

matte kind. They are made in sec

Good Fellows Work
To Be Permanent
Need Is for Prompt Contribu,
tons Now for Christmas
Treat for Children.

That the Good Fellows work in
Chanute should be made permanent
was the decision of the committee
this morning in connection with
their discussion of the plans for
acting as Santa Claus to the poor
children of Chanute. The Big
Brothers who pay 81 at this time
will meet in January to elect per
manent officers. The ladies who
help will become honorary members
of the organization.
The committee is satisfied that at
least $3.50 will be needed to carry
out their plans adequately as the
number of children to be helped
will far exceed the original estimate.
Mrs. Morehart will ask two other
ladies to act with her and together
with one of the men on the COM
mittee will make the purchases. 1t
is planned to purchase a doll for
each girl on the list and ask some
of the young ladies of Chanute to
dress the dolls as their contribution
for the poor girls. The committee
expects further to buy a pair of
stockings for each child in which
the gifts and candy will be placed
Christmas eve. These will be dis
tributed so that the children can
have the pleasure of delving into
the stockings for their treats on
Christmas morning.
