Col. Leeper in Trouble.

Col Graves Leeper has every wom-
an in town angry with him. He looks
lonesome these days. 1t happened
this way. Just as the month of March
was getting ready to erase itself from
the calendar, the weather came direct
from the Arctic regions. There was
frost in the air as it swept down the
street, and Col. Leeper in his anger
and at an unguarded moment made
the remark that March weather was
just like a woman, that it changed
nineteen times day, no one can
forecast in the morning what the eve
ming will bring Just so with the
woman. You may leave her happy in
the morning, find her sick at noon,
and go back to dinner in the evening
and find her so enraged that she will
kick you from the door
A company of ladies heard the re-
mark. They resented the charge with
broom and poker, and after terroriz-
ing him until he could not apologize
they told every other woman of what
Col. Leeper said, and none of them
will speak to him now.

TRADE WITH
THE MAN WHO
ADVER T|SES
SUCH is THE SERMON PREACHED
BY CARTER COUNTY'S MOST
LIBERAL CITIZEN. is REGULAR
CONTRIBUTOR.

Out at Woodford in this county lives
a man vino believes in practical chart
ty and is a regular contributor to all
worthy institutions. When the Evan
geline home was founded in this city,
he became interested and notified
those in charge that they might con
slider him worth one dollar per week
toward its maintenance. The BeneVo-
lent Society was likewise remembered
with the same amount and when the
idea for a free charity ward in the
proposed addition to the Hardy sani-
tarium was propounded, he was the
very first to enroll his name for an
other dollar. Every week his contri-
buttons are accompanied with an in
teresting letter, this letter usually
contains a good sermon, and is eager
ly looked for by the officers of the
various associations who are bene-
ficiaries of his bounty.
This week accompanying his con
tribution was sermon on efficien-
cy and preparedness, the text being
an editorial which appeared in this
paper some days ago, alluding to an
old gentleman who had embellished
upon the windshield of his livery
auto the legend, Rearing to 60" and
who was apparently getting the livery
business from Ringing to the oil
fields because he was advertising that
he had the goods to deliver.
Following this text he writes as
neat sermon on advertising as one
could hope to read from the pen of an
advertising expert, and closes his ar
gument by saying that the business
that does not use advertising space
in the papers in this city will never
get business from himself or friends
if he can prevent it. His theory is
that if business is really worth
| while, it will let the world know the
| fact If they do not proclaim the
| merits of their wares through the me
dium of the press, he says that they
have something to conceal and viii
bear close scrutiny in a business
| transaction.
This man is well provided witt
worldly goods and he has a heart big
enough to want the unfortunate tC
share it with him. He is highly re
spected by his friends and neighbors
who never fail to sound his praise
whenever his name is mentioned. i
would be well had Carter county more
like him.

BUYS FROM PEDDLER 90
AND GETS "STUNG"

A lady telephoEed to this office this
morning, stating that she had made
the purchase of alleged linen goods
from peddler at a bargain" said
bargain consisting of the original
purchase and whole raft of other
goods thrown in for good measure.
The price was paid and the peddler
faded into the dim and hazy distance,
while she proceeded to make closer
examination Of her prize. Under the
bright light the linen" proved to be
very inferior article of cotton that
could be purchased at any of the
local stores for much less than she
paid for it,
The good lady was informed over
the wire that about the safest plan
is for her to pass up the peddlers,
and trade with local merchants where
recourse could be had if the trans
action was not strictly according TO
the ethics of merchandising.

of the robbery of bank at Sedan,
Kansas, which happened % years
ago, and says it is known positively
now that Henry Starr was one OF
