RANDOM SHOTS
According to the ails, ve lrnrn that
this lis rot only "Hattcry Inspection
Week," hut that rival manufacturers
me trying to make it "Cnrbon, Ink
nn! Typewriter Kihbon Week." All of
which leads us reluctantly very re
luctantly to conclude that for sonic
body this is "Liars' W eek."
Everybody knows, of course, that
this is "City Manager Week."
People do make the funniest mis
takes. Several very religious church
members crowded to the Imperial la?t
Thursday evening under the impres
sion that "Passion" was u picture, of
the Obcrammcrgau Passin play.
Either our typewriter is on the blink
or the intelllfent op. hi'd a brainstorm
last week. The very l-st "Shot" we
had the one about Judge. Tash and
the garbage co' lector was hopelessly
ma.ipled and ruined. We wrote is
"pprbape incinerator" and, aided abet
ted by the proofreader, it was made to
appear "inconerator." Whatn'eH is an
"inconerator?" The force had two
chances and it scored an error each
time.
One cannot drown h's sorrow in the
kind of liquor they peddle these days.
Poctor Slaarle is authority for this
one: George Uurke spent a night in a
hotel at Bridgeport last week, anil
was moaning ovpi- the bed that was
furnished him. "The mattress was so
thin," George said, "that when I got
up in the morning 1 looked just like
a waffle."
And that's not all he said about the
place. "They charged me $3 for the
room," he went on. "Do you know,
if I had given them $3 for all th stuff
there was in it, they would still owe
me money."
One merchant who sells shoes in
Alliance was gloating over the fact
that mighty few customers ever get
nway from him. "I take their shoes
off as soon as they come in," he said.
Women are mighty unreasonable,
sometimes. Mrs. Lucy Eckstein of
New York, who chews tobacco and
smokes heavy cigars, is suing her hus
band for divorce becau.-e he won't
agree to (uit cigarettes if she will
iigree to ijuit tobacco.
The only reason we never smoked
cigarettes is because we really like
tobacco.
"I'd certainly like to stop and talk
over the 'lection wif you, boss," said
a colored man to one of the candidates
Tuesday, "but you see, thpy (lore left
two gallons of whisky out at my hoiv-e,
r.nd I want to get my share before it's
all pone."
We finally heard how it was that
Cal's face got all mussed up a couple
of months ago, but hanged if we
haven't forgotten it. Oh, well it's
all healed up now, anyway.
They got the laugh on Bill Harper
at the roof garden the other ni'rht.
when he announced that the saxophon
ist would favor the audience with a
trombone solo. You know, Bill the
trombone is the instrument that the
player seems to swallow every now
and then during the performance.
Today's Bent S'ory
George, who sells cigars to us when
we go in intending to read a story in
a late magazine to see whether we
want to buy it George told us a story
the other day. It seems (he related)

AT THE CHURCHES
BAPTIST. ( HI lit H
Ten more additions Sunday, eipht
by b'Jptism and two by letter. ' Two
more letters came into the pastor's
hand to be presented to the church
Sun'day, thus the good work goes on,
making fifty-five to date in the three
months of our stay hero, one awaits
b iptism yet. Many more are consid
ering coming into the church real soon.
Several more would have come iijfo
the church Sunday but for sickness.
The perennial revival seems to have
come to stay. Let u thank God for
all of these blessings. Over two hun
dred stayed for dinner Sunday at the
church and many were there for sup
per, r.l'ogether it was a great day for
us. The year's report showed some
very interesting facts, one of v. hich
was that more money was ' ra'sed
through the regular channels the la.-t
(U li ter than the preceding three ;uar
ters. To the missions the church had
contrlbu'ed almost six hundred dollars.
It wa- decided th;t the church wo'dd
take over the monthly paper, the Alli
ance Baptist, as soon as we enn make
arrangement. Thus this he'pful pas
tor's assistant then wou'd become a
part of the regular budget of the
church. An unusually large number
of men were in the evening congre
gat'on that filled the house this is a
good sign. Hereafter all evening serv
ices Will begin a half hour later. The
pastor has decided to haptize only
once a month after this, so that he can
meet the people after the evening
serv:ce.. Let is make the prayer,
meeting a good one this week. Re
member we have roll call' Wednesday.

On April 19, the young people of the

The purchase of the meat depart

week by L. E. Bliss and E. K. Jones
has given rise to the question in .some
ouarters as to whether the entire

Mr. Hirst disposed of only the meat
department and is still on haml at the
regular place of business to take care
of his customers. The meat market
has been moved one door away.

SOCIETY
Miss Helen Hewitt, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James H. Hewitt of this city,
who has just simed a contract for a
twenty-two weeks' tour of Australia
with the company of Annette Kel'ci
man, is now in the city visiting her
parents. Siie will leave April 'JO for
San Francisco. Sunday's Slate Jour
nal contained the following account of
the eccentric dancing staged by Miss
Hewitt and her d.incing partner, MisF
Eleanor- Frampton:
"If you are tad, slender and lithe,
and a talented dancer, w'.iat spot would
you select for the everci c of your pro
tess'on? Would you ever think of
going to a big island w:y oil" in tbe
south seas, which is always associated
with shc?p raising and kangaroo.:?
This is jut what two Nebraska girls,
Mis Eleanor Frampton o,' Lincoln and
Miss Helen liewiit of Alliance, have
elected to do. They have ca.-t their
fortunes with the Annette Kellerman
vaudeville - how for twenty-t o weeks,
by a definite contract, at'il Mr. Sulli
van, manager of the romps ny, has an
option on their time after hit, and
their passports were made to Include
South Africa and a nu'.nher of such
fascinating place.".
"Nor is it luck that usher, I n this
wonderful adventure, as Mis Frrmp
ton is inclined to consider the oppor
tunity. It came as a Jesuit of real,
hone.-t nur t and terplelioi can ability.
The young ladles had been studying in
a profess. onal class in I os Angeles,
and were offered the management of a
dancing act at a theatre.
I " 'But we thought that if we were
good enough to manage an act we
ought to be able to manage one of our
own just as well,' explained Miss
Frampton.
"So, they produced an eccentric
dancing net of their own and played
at one of tbe best ami most exclusive
motion picture theaters in San Fran
cisco, the California. The California
has a wonderful symphony orchestra
of fifty pieces, and the management
makes a specialty of the- artistic ele
ment in amusements. The two Ne
braska representatives, put on the only
vaudeville acts there, and their season,
in January, was extremely successful.
"Whi'e they were 'playing around in
San Francisco,' deciding what to do
next, Mr. Sullivan sent word to Miss
Frampton and Miss Hewitt, through
one of the" booking agencies in the city,
saying that he desired an interview
with then in regard to work with his
company. Mr. Sullivan always goes
through all the preliminaries with
prospective additions to their number.
then Miss Kellerman, bis Wile, insists
ton giving the final word before en
' gagaing any one, and e: p cially the
ladies, because they must absolutely
rb? to her liking.
j "And even she is consumed with
'vanity. For she was impressed by
S Miss Framp'.o'i and Miss Hewitt es
pecially because of their quality and
'quantify of height, which would be
: that much more help in making her
'appear shorter than she really is, for
. her toe dancing act. Miss Kellerman is
I not one who could easily be consid
i ered very Short, yet that is an accom
plishment she seems to yearn for.
"So when this famous woman sails
1 for Australin, May 3, with a show
' company of between twenty and thirty
members, Miss Frampton ami Miss
Hewitt are booked as the eccentric
; dancers of the troup. The-'r act is
.partly the same which they presented
i at the Californian this winter and the
' remainder they have arranged especi
I ally for the tour. One number is a
I puppet dJnce, so arranged that they
seem to be jerked and pulled r.buut
; by attached wires to their wrists and
j ankles.
"All their dances feature the un
: usual and novel, and are cleverly cos
tumed. The outlay of the entire per
sonnel of the company is elaborate
tnd expensive. Miss Kellerman is of
course the star performer, and besides
her eternal (living act has added toe
dancing and slack wire walking to her
spectacular performances. All the
other numbers in the show will be
used to fill in the intervals between her
appearances.
"Miss Frampton does not know just
who or what else is included in the
bill, because it all happened so sud
denly' that after they got their pass
ports there was just time to fly home
and say hello and goodby to friends
and relatives. The girls returned home
last week and wiil leave again on
April 24.
"Rehearsals will take place on the
vessel on the way across to Australia.
The ship will stop at Honolulu, and
Miss Frampton hopes the stop will be
for a long enough time to give them
a chance to see something of the island
and 'learn a fow real H iwaiian wig
gles.' The troup is scheduled to per
form in Sidney for e'ght weeks, r.rd
the rest of thi contracted time will
be spent in touring the Hand.
"Mi Frampton Mated r.-'thcr dubi
ously tli.-'t -be didn't know where the
would g-st in all those weeks, beciui. e
she think- tbre are nlv two citiis
of nny si7 there, at lea't those ire

if they will act for the wiUerno-f es
and whatever they might find in such
places.
