Will Ilitchcock and wife were out from town Sunday. • Henry and Mary Bartels were visit, ors at the McKathnie home, Sunday. James Golder was out from town Sunday and went to Butte the follow ing day. Mrs. Coburn and Jessie spent a pleasant afternoon at John Damero's Tuesday. Edith Jeppeson is down from Car lock for a short stay with her grand parents. Ben Reiser and Lucy West took supper at Mrs. F. Coburn’s Saturday evening. Dan Coburn returned to Laurel the last of the week, with a bunch of cattle, he purchased while here. Roy Parshall went to Butte Mon day for corn. Ray Coburn also went to Butte the same day for the same pur pose. Everything is lively around about Phoenix this summer. Ball games and dances are the leading amuse ments. The dance at the hall Saturday evening was enjoyed by all present. We hope to have many more such, in the near future. Jean and Theda Golder went to Butte Monday. The girls have spent the greater part of the summer here, and will be missed very much. Emma Bartels, accompanied by Mrs. Bishop.came over from Gross one day last week, and were visitors at Ben Kinney’s until the following afternoon. Otto Nilson and family, Wilber Kirkland, Roy Parshai, Jean and Theda Golder, Mrs. Coburn Ralph and Jessie were pleasantly entertained at Mr. Keeler’s Sunday. B. F. Stockwell accompanied by Vere Staniford came over from Butte one day last week. Mr. Stockwell drove to Atkinson the following day. His daughter, Mrs. Ray Coburn, went with him. The Phoenix ball boys present quite a striking appearence in their nobby suits of red and white. They are right there when it comes to a game to, at least Honey Creek and Sand Creek think so, judging from the dates they have set to play ball, and so far have failed to put in an appear ance. We hope they may in the near future recover from this scare of theirs, and come and let us see how well they can play. STUART John Mains has gone to Cincin nati, O., to contract for the man ufacture of the buggy double tree support, which was invented and patented by Frank Butterfield, and in which Mr. Mains has bought an interest.

The cream shipments for July 190(5 amounted to 241 cans, for July 1907, 521 cans, showing an increase of about thirty-four per cent which shows the interest taken in the dairy business in this section of the country. Jacob Roche went to O'Neill Tues day to meet with the county board as supervisor of the Seventh district, to which place he was recently appoint ed to till the vacancy caused by the resignation of B. E. Sturdevant. Mrs. Peter Greeley left for Omaha, Monday morning, to consult with surgeons in regard to an operation which will in all probability be neces sary for her restoration to health. She was accompanied by Mrs. Arleigh Moore. Dr. Douglas informs us that Olara Kirkland, who was badly burned last week by the explosion of a kerosene can while lighting a lire in the stove, is convalescing and no serious results are anticipated. It was only by a miracle that her life and home were saved. It should be a warning to all to stop the practice of starting tires with material of an explosive nature. —The Graphic SOME FAMOUS BENEFITS. Th* On* For Grimaldi, In 1828, Long Remained a Record. It was as far back as 1068, according to Samuel Pepys, that one Knlpp came to him about the “woman’s day” at the playhouse, which he was expected to patronize in order to increase the profits. Perhaps the first organized benefit for a particular favorite, however, wns that given to Mrs. Barry in 1687. On such occasions it wns customary to charge for admission to the stage, which in consequence often became so thronged that when a player to whom the distinction wns accorded had to make his appearance before the foot lights to take up his part in the piece it had not Infrequently to be stopped for several minutes while the attend ants forced a passage for the unfor tunate actor through the throng of his admirers. Thus on the occasion of Quin's ben efit at Covent Garden, in 1753, the old actor, who was incumbered with the heavy dress of Falstaff, was several minutes before he could pass on to the stage on account of the crowds that were assembled in the wings. Perhaps one of the saddest of the many benefits which have been cole brated at Drury Bane was that given on June 27, 1828, for Grimaldi, the greatest clown the stage has known, when the heartbroken old man was wheeled on to the stage hi an arm chair and hopelessly broke down in his endeavor to sing his once famous ditty, "Hot Codllns.” The old man’s memory had completely forsaken him. On that occasion a sum of £1,700 was realized, which for many years remain ed a record.—St. James’ Gazette. A YANKEE RETORT. Information For a Seaman on an Eng lish Man-of-war. Just after the war of 1778 an Amer ican frigate visited England. Her crew of gallant tars had been princi pally recruited from the fisheries, and some of them, it is to be acknowledged, did not compare favorably in appear ance with the spick and span, Jaunty English naval seamen, for the former were of all shapes and sizes, from the tall, round shouldered, long armed Cape Coder down to the short, wiry members of the ship’s company who hailed from various parts farther south. One day the captain of the American ship paid a visit to the commander of a British man-o’-war at anchor in the same harbor. The cockswain of the gig was a great, lanky seaman, whose backbone was so rounded as to form a veritable lump. While the boat rested at the gangway of the visited vessel the English sailors gathered in the open ports and “took stock” in a rather disdainful fashion of the occupants of the gig. At last the seaman of the man-o’-war called down to the cock swain: “ ’Elio, there, Yankee! I say, what’s that bloomin’ ’ump you have on your back?” The American sailor looked up and called back quick ns a shot, “That’s Bunker Hill!”—Los Angeles Times. Tampering With the Truth. A schoolteacher trying to explain to his class the meaning of the word “conceited” said: “Suppose I would go around saying, ‘Look how good I am to my class,’ or bragging about how much I know or how good looking I am—what would you say I was?” “A liar,” Instantly responded his class—Judge’s Library. Not a Mourning Suit. Brown—I just met White a few min utes ago on his way downtown to re cover his son’s body. Green—You don’t tell me! Was his son drowned? Brown—Oh, no. But his father said he needed a new suit of clothes.

In Frederic Ix>'lee's “Women of the Second Empire” the author tells a sen sational story of Empress Eugenie of France. It concerns ft pressing polit ical matter, ono of church and state. Because the empress felt strongly on It the emperor feared lest she should endeavor to Influence the deliberations of the cabinet council by appearing In person. Accordingly be gave orders that the meeting should be kept secret from her. M. Lollee says: “But the matter so carefully concealed was al ready known to her, and, acting on the first impulse of her fiery Spanish tem perament, boiling over with anger, she flow rather than walked to the oouncll chamber. A sentry had been placed at the door with orders to allow no ono to pass. Ho opposed the entrance of the Impetuous sovereign. “‘I wish to enter. Stand back!* sho cried angrily. Finding himself In a horrible quandary between the orders he had received and his fear of hurting his empress, the guardsman, between his gallantry to her sex and ills fidelity to the word of command, fell at the feet of Eugenio with Ills bayonet laid across the doorway. “ ‘Your majesty,’ he said, ‘no one may pass, by order of the .emperor.’ “ ‘We shall see,’ replied Eugenie, and without more ado she leaped over
