April Fools Day Celebrated by Vari
 ous Franks in Mena.

APih IoOt Ddy SSSiuTdttu Dy dIt-
 ous Franks in Mena.
 Tho April Fools day started off with frost it wasn't cool enough to check the ardor of Mena folks who relish good joke. There were num- erous pranks played of the usual sort, a local druggist adding to the merri- ment by supplying friends with fine chocolates we'll filled with quinine. But one of the best laugh provokers of the day was the dummy telephone at Goss's store. The phone was as deceptive as near beer. It looked all right, rang all right, but it didn't reach the right spot. Business men, workers looking for a job, married men and men about town supplied the victims. The innocents were sum moned into the store on a plea your wife wants to talk to you? "call up the office," or Smith wants to talk to you about that job.' Everybody bit, for nobody ever refused to answer a telephone call, and then ensued per iod of watchful waiting at phone which looked all right, rang all right but which just couldn't make the right connection. After the conspirators, who by the way included one of Mena's best known young ladies, had suppressed their chuckles long enough, they exposed the real telephone and gave the victims chance to grin if he would Most of 'em did, but it is recorded that several prominent and substantial citizens acted as tho there wasn't anything so blamed funny after all.
