LET'S SMILE A BIT

A certain teacher i'm one of our dis
trict schools. to prevent hardness
made it known that she would kiss the
first arrival each morning. The next
morning at five o'clock number of
young men were seen resting on the
school fence. and by s 80 all the small
boys and two directors were in evil
dence. The young teacher was just IS
and pretty as a picture.
Willie and Jack. two youngsters
were having an argument.
"Aw." said Willie. You're afraid to
fight: that's all the trouble
Nav I'm not" said Jack" but if
fight Mall lick me.

When Miss Kate R. Swineford.
a resident of Drewry's Bluff. Va.
was sixteen years old, she became
possessed with an idea that fathers
were not receiving a square deal
And so thoroughly did she believe
il it that she went alone to the
Governor of Virginia and laid her
plea before him. He accepted it
AMI set aside the second Sunday
in Tune to be celebrated as Fathers
Day. Since then several States of
the Union have -llken the matter
up, and it bids fair to become
national event, all because Of little
girl who stuck to her idea.

KATHERINE NEWS

Sam Brethour spent Xmas in King man with his family, and reports a fine time.
 Mrs. Kilker and family arrived here from Los Angeles to join Tom Kilker, the general superintendent of the Adams Mining Go. They arrived just in time to join in the Xmas fes- tivities of Katherine.
 Al Lambert has received his com- mission as Postmaster of Katherine. A regular Post Office has been one of the really needed additions to this town.
 The community of Katherine got to- gether and gave freely for wonder ful Xmas tree for the entire com munity front he Frisco Mine to Tri- state. Everyone was invited, and most everyone came. All the kiddies were remembered by Santa Claus, and besides that the Stray Elks of King man sent out present for each child, carefully selected and beautifully wrapped, and these were added to those brought out by Santa Claus. The ladies of the entire district came out to the school house on Saturday morning and changed that building from plain board house into a bower of beauty, and the scene at night, when the room and tree was all lighted up, was one that will be re- membered for many years to come by those fortunate enough to be pres ent. After a short, we'll rendered pro- gram by the entire Katherine School, old Santa appeared on the scene, and gave out the presents, taking them from the tree and handing them out with his own hands. He then an nounced that he had to go on to other places, and after a rendition of the hymn, Silent Night", by the school, in which the entire audience joined, everyone adjourned to Reilly's store which had been prepared for a dance, and there spent the rest of the even ing in dancing.
 It is quite commentary upon the growth of the camp to know that just one year ago only three or four persons were here for Xmas, while this year there are several hundreds in the camp.
