PoTATO HILL NOTES.



Marsh. Edison says he has no patience
with those people who say they can't
think up suitable Christmas present to
give q friend. There is plenty to give,
Marsh. says; the real Christmas problem
is, "What can l get him for ten or fif-
teen cents that will look good enough,
and satisfy them?"
1--WE like her." the boys and men in
| the George Hart family say of woman
relative who lately came to visit them,
because she doesn't kiss u.s." There
is an oldfashioned type of woman who
thinks she must kiss everybody.
| Mrs. Emma Starting, who has been
visiting her sister, Mrs LATE Yount, has
tried three times to return to her home
in Missouri and missed the train every
time. The men in the Yount family are
an easy-going lot, and Potato Hill people
| are greatly amused because they can't
even catch train. Mrs. Startling is now
in the depot, and patiently waiting until
her train goes; she is so mad that she
won't even let the Younts send in her
meals from Potato Hill.
A Potato Hill woman lately went to
see sister who was ill in neighborlng
State, and, when she got there at 7
O'Clock in the morning, there was so
much to do that the Potato Hill woman
Jumped to strengthen things out, and
didn't get her hat off until noon.
John Harris wife went to town the
ot bar dow p'cIocly in tho morning
and didn't get home until nearly sun
down. A neighbor who went over to
Johns about noon, found him cooking
dinner, and abusing the women.
There are two maid N ladies living in
this vicinity who are free to do as they
please, and they have what every woman
thinks is the greatest thing in the world:
An Independent Income. They could
have married dozen times, it is posi-
lively known that one of them carried
i at least three men along awhile, and
dropped them one by one when urged to
marry. They .don't want TO get married,
and are better off than married women;
they make trips together, have little to
do, ard are really the envy OF every
woman for miles around. Therefore
when d married WOMAN expresses pily
for them, because Of Loneliness, it Is
fine thing to hear them express in
dignation. The woman who pitied them
last is married to little old stick who
tried his best to marry one of the ancient
maidens.
A story was lately told of an Atchison
girl who is thirty-three years old. and
never had her hands in dishwater She
never made bed, swept room, or DID
any other kind of homework. The girl
gave as an excuse that her mother would
never let her do anything; that she
didn't want her to soil her pretty white
hands. And you should hear the Potato
Hill women sputter when they hear the
story. They don't believe it; they say
the girl has pretty white hands because
she refused to soil them, in spite OF
seedlings from her mother.

THE CELLO.

Among my friends count cello,
A dear old plaintive. soulful fellow,
Who bends his neck close to my ear,
And whispers secrets sweet and clear
In measures soft and mellow.
And when at the fall of night
His sweet companionship invite,
He snuqgles closely by my knee,
And purrs and sings in sympathy
He reads my thoughts Alright.
For should dream of love, his deep
Toned, throbbing strings the gamut sweep
Of old, sweet mem'ries fond and true,
OF bowers rare and skies of blue,
That Loves dear secrets keep.
And if perchance martial rage
Has seized me that may assuage,
Only as he with vibrant strings
In march and triumph booms and sings
Until turn the page.
Should on Sorrows ocean drift
First slowly, faster. then 80 swift
He gathers up the moods feel,
And winds them hack on life's vast reel
With all the tangles rift.
