complimentary notice: The entertain

Hale, of Hays, was of very high class.

and entertainer of rare ability.
The audience was delighted. Every

viii find an enthusiastic reception.
A number of the ladies of the city
complain that whenever they have occa-
sion to go into the waiting room at the

smoke should be gentlemen enough to
leave their cigars and pipes out of
doors. Of course, when Hays gets that
new depot that was promised about two
years ago, then things will be different.
There will be a waiting room exclusive
ly for the ladies. Just wait. The
present generation viii probably have
gone hence but their heirs can enioy the
new depot with its luxurious appoint
ment.
