THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who suddenly found that her Sun
day night date had been walked off
with while she .trustfully waited for 1t
to appear. Meanwhile she got a new
lesson in the shrewdness of women in
general, especially where a man is
concerned. The story goes that she
had made an arrangement with a
handsome army man to take her to
a little party Sunday evening, and he
was to call at her place for her after
the party Sunday afternoon; the man

tanned by the Rota club women. At
the club party he was kept pretty
busy by some of the entertaining
women who seemed to find him very
good company. One woman in partic-
ular occupied a flushed share of the
gallant lions time. The girl with
whom he had the evenings engage
ment was busy doing some of the
| Martha" duties of kitchen and dining
room, but saw him long enough to be
assured that as soon as he could go to
his hotel for a few minutes, he would
| call for her.
After waiting nearly an hour, she
heard the telephone, and at other end
| of the wire a sweet feminine voice
which informed her that charming
soldier was on the front porch of the
house, asking for her. She went on
| to say that the dear lad had called up
to find out where he could find her
that is. the young woman with whom
he had the appointment. He had
been at the house, but had forgotten
the way. Then she continued with
her story that she had given him the
directions-so many blocks south, and
So many west-and 10! he had shown
up at her own home, in spite of the
| explicit directions, and altho the two
| places were not in the same part of
town at all. Meanwhile. she said, the
girl who had enjoyed his society SO
much in the afternoon had seen him
coming, and had come over at once
to visit him a little more And
wouldn't she who had the date in the
| first place just come there where she
was to see him, or wouldn't she please
say what to do about it.
| Well, the girl who had spent most
of the evening waiting around for the
recreant man of arms and missed the
party because he failed to keep his
appointment. agreed readily enough.

to the brains of women who, when
they want a date bad enough, can

| A strange graduate had his place
on the platform when the eighth
grade at Clay had their finishing ex-

and the finishing grade teacher men,
toned him in their address, stating

| school since he started, and held the
! record on attendance. His name is

dogs, elongated life a dachshund
The dog had come to the school and
| adopted it outright. All efforts to
run him off were unavailing, because
he always came back, played with the
| children during intermissions and laid
| under the desks of his favorites dur
ing school hours. The dog catcher
had been summoned, but at the crit

had quietly dropped him out of a win

| the boys had taken him home and

back to school Finally. he was ac-

monopolized by Marys lamb. On
graduating day, wien all the visitors

were on hand to hear the orations of
