A CENTURY AGO.

One hundred years ago the Sicil-
ians inhabiting the villages in the vi
cinity of Mount Etna, and who al
the time were probably preparing foi
the joyous Christmas celebrations,
were thrown into a panic by seeing
signs of renewal of activity in the
historic volcano. Great clouds of
steam and smoke arose from the
summit, while streams Of lava began
to roll down the sides of the noun
tain. Fortunately, however, the
eruption did not prove to be SO disas-
trous as others in the history of this
famous volcano, which the ancients
called the pillar Of heaven, and where
the tabled FORCES of Cyclops were
supposed TO be located. Eruptions OF
Mount Etna were recorded long be-
fore the Christian era and have con-
tinued at intervals ever since. One
Of the most violent occurred in the
twelfth century, when $4,000 persons
persisted.

Woman In Buggy.

The man in tho motor car reached
the foot Of long hill that was not
easy TO climb. He started up at a
merry clip, for he had already in
creased the speed of his machine to
take the incline with a rush. Half
way up the hill shabby, dilapidate1

pants apparently oblivious of the
chugging monster approaching sc
swiftly from the rear. "Honk'

short and sharp and angry was the
tone of the horn this time. The oc.
cupants of the buggy could not be
seen, but they were evidently deter

The road was narrow. No time
was to be lost. Once more the au-
tomobile snorted. 'Honkl Honk

Mad through and through, the mo-
torist slowed his machine down, and
as he carefully wormed his way
around the shabby buggy, he said
"I'll bet anything a woman is driv-
ing that outftp Sure enough, a
hard-featured dame was sitting in
the buggy, holding the reins, and by
her side were two children. In her
flashing eyes there was a look which
seemed to say; "Run me down, if

NOT THE KIND He WANTED
Governor Probably Meant Well, but
Sam Was Not Highly EIated
at the GifN

A trio Of southerners was dining
at the Raleigh. They we're Governor
elect Henry G. Stuart of Virginia,
Major Hemphill Of South Carolina
and Ed Smith of Texas. Whenever
SO many southerners get together
there are sure to be some good sto-
ries told. One of them recited an
anecdote Of Governor Mann, chief
executive Of the Old Dominion.
Governor Mann was driving
through the streets of Richmond
one afternoon not so long ago." he
said. cit is the governors custom
to ride in an old-fashioned carriage
driven by a typical southern Sene-
gambian, with whom the governor is
pleased to converse as he rides. The
wind whistled through the curtains
of the carriage, causing the governor
to snuggle down under the robes,
while the driver shivered and his
teeth chartered. The vehicle drew
up in front of one of Richmond's
prominent hotels and Governor
Mann alighted. He glanced at his
negro driver, and observing the fell
low shivering, said: You are cold,
Sam; you need little something to
keep you from getting SICK
"Thank you, boss replied the
negro. Z is cold,' and as the COVER
nor disappeared into the portals of
the hotel Sam had a mental picture
of big drink or rye or gin.
Governor Mann reappeared and
handed him a package. Here, SAM
he said, take this and you will not
get cold

sules. Washington Post.

Meet a Success

The race meet held last week at
the fair grounds brought the best
class of horses, both runner and
harness, ever seen IN Liberal.

from the rain of the week before
was gotten into fair condition for
Thursdays races which started
promptly at 9 p. 10. with the first
heat of the one e-halfmile harness
race. This heat was won by the
black PAGER Jack Rambler owned

Meade; Second, Link H. driven
by O. A. Moon; third Ernestine
driven and owned by j. +. Funk;
fourth Siblo bay trotter driven
and owned by A. X. Langstaff of
Dodge City. The subsequent heats
of this race resulted in the judges
giving first money to Jack RAM

business with those in the grand

The rain Thursday night came
very nearly putting an end to the
meeting as it was evident that the
track could not be gotten into con-
dition for the harness race and
it was impossible to postpone it on
account of the next day being

to go ahead with the running
program, which was done. The

New Bank Opens

For several months there has
been rumors that Liberal was "
haYe a third bank and now the re-
ports are verified. Next Saturday
the reception day Will be given
from Two o'clock until six in the
afternoon. Every visitor (and
everybody is lnvited,) will be
given u carnation. The ladies
will be presented with a flower by
a good looking man and some of
the BEAUTIFUL young ladies oft het
city will pin the flower on the coat
lapeIs of the gentlemen who visit
the building that day.
For several weeks the carpen-
ters and workmen have been busy
setting the Italian marble fixtures
and putting down the sexanguIar
tile floor, and fixing the fumed oak
woodwork in place. The building
in which the post Office once was
located is no longer suggestive of
the place once used as dispensary
of Uncle Sans business. Every
thing is now ready for the regular
transaction of business which will
be begun in few days after the
formal opening on Saturday.
The new Institution has been
given the name OF The Peoples
State Bank and all the stockhoId-
ers are resident people most of
whom have made their accumul-
ations in this part of the state.
The stockholders number about
twenty-five of which number seven
are directors and are; A. E. Blake,
Paul w. Light, II. A. Teagarden,
j. N. Evans, VIM. Lampe, Frank
G. Boles, Ezra ShOrb. The officers
are; President, A. r.. Blake, Vice
President, Paul w. Light, Cashier
j. G. Hess, of Alva, Oklahoma,
Assistant Cashiers, T. A. Teagar-
den and j. N. Evans.
Mr.. Hess and his wife came

will all agree that the new insti-

THE FIRST DISTILLERY
ERECTED IN KENTUCKY

I The farm of Stephen A. Richie,
along the Beech Fork river, is con-
sidered historic ground in Kentucky,
for here in the early days of the CEN
fury was erected the first sour mash
distillery known in this country. 1t
was built and the first whiskey was
made in it by John Richie, Scotch
man, who died in Nelson county in
1912, at a nadvanced age.
Richie was one of the pioneers of
the State. an Indian fighter. and an
original occupant of Inns fort. He
was the first man to leave the fort
and build an independent building.
The house is about two miles from
the spot where Inns fort stood,
and about 200 yards from the house
are the ruins of the distillery. The
distilery was eighteen feet square.
