reception at the home Of Mrs.
Hesser on West Neosho street.

not 50 small, played an important
part; each guest was given a
broken egg shell and directed to
reconstruct therefrorn not an egg
but its ancestor, chicken. l.. l..
Cardin produced not only the
bird but the bill, feet and wings
and carried of the prizewhich
was a cotton rooster. Each lady
had provided an old hat which
the men attempted to retrim in
the latest vogue. Mr.. Gilman
carried off the honors with a
"leghorn" hat festooned with
q baby chicken which hadn't
scratched yet-these over set
with a proud hen. This hat was
very chic.
Sides were chosep and an old
fashioned spelling match held in
which every word was prefixed
with the word eggs, taking the
place of the prefix Eek" Mrs.
McWiliams proved the champion
speller.
Miss Marie Convey favored the
crowd with several vocal selec-
tons after which refreshments
were served which is the main
event at a Methodist gathering.
Prof. Twente introduced the
new preacher who made some
pointed remarks fitting the oc-
casion, and the guests took their
leave. If you are not a member

Escaped the Censor

A team loaded with nails and
other building materials stopped
on the road and the driver asked
q man how he might go to
Hockerville. The man was dumb
founded. He looked at the in
quirer, but never said a word.
The more he thought the more
he felt convinced himself that no
town Of that name existed. He
heldlhis chin in his hand and for
a while was lost in mentally try
ing to locate Hockerville.
Almost at the point of telling
the man that he must have made
a mistake in the name, his face
frightened and a smile came over
it as he recalled the location Of
the town and directed the driver
to it.
AS the informant walked on he
thought how funny it was that
he had found himself in that
predicament. He then bursted
out into laughter, because of the
absurdity of his failure to call
into mind, instantly, the town
which was named after him. He
was Mr.. L. c. Hooker.
