Incident ol Every Day Life Which Very Few People Stop to Think About on Accouut of Their Littleness. This paper dues not want to bo otor nally kicking, and has in the past tiled to discourage this trait in others, but tlie oluinctits M'i'iit to bo against our keeping still We like mud and lots of it, as wo remember wo usid to wado In it when a barefoot kid just to see it oo.o up between our toes So wo liuven't any aversion to it and heneu have no peisonal kick coming -Hut tliero are otners. Other people do not like to walk in the mud, and in a matter of business forotirself and those who are in business on the east side of the street, wo wish to register a kick in regard to ladles and others having to wade tluough the mud where the walk Is go no in front of the two vacant lots north of this ollleo. Wo do not wish to lay 11 straw in tho way of a nuw enterprise, but onterpriso or no enter prise, the business men on tho east sido of tho street should not bo com polled to losu business on account of citi.eus not caring to soil their foot, wear by walking through tho mud on rainy days. This condition of affairs islikolyto exist all summer and per haps until fall, and though tho build ing which may go up thero would re p.iy us for all tho inconvonieucn wo have had to put up with, it may not bring us back the patronage which has gone to other channels. The city did tho heroic act after tho lirst kick was made and put down n Miiglo boat d in three lengths, which aio in place when dry but seldom when it rains. Did you over see two persons try to cross at tho same time on h twelve inch plank? It can bo done but it would bo kind of awkward in llio chnnco meeting of two ladles who do not speak as they pass by nod a gentleman and lady. It is a kind of a hug waltz step which can only bo accomplished with much dex terity. This is not a hint to tho boys to stand at tho ond of tho walk until some girl comes along in order to "em brace" tliis golden opportunity. But to resume from our digression. If the simo condition of affairs existed on tho west sido what a roar of indigna tion would go up. Wo haven't any city dads or mayor in business on our sido of tho street, but wo'vo got an in- stitutiou that can "holler" when they give us mud and then try to nib It in. We don't believe it is the city's place to bear tho burden, but it's their place to eoe that tho proper parties look after tho matter. It was good tun tidy wea ther Tuesday to plant trees and from the number that were taken away from tho depot that day it would indicate that tho time is coming when few lots in the city or farms in tho country but what will bo woli supplied, If real mean of a conductor to put a man off a train down by tho coal sheds on a dark and rainy night. Hut tfaeu he shouldn't bo asleep and fail U hear tho brakey call hit homo station. Thon again ho should study tho topography of tho ground and surroundings of his home city and wear an electric 1 ght in his neck-tio. If he uses all these pre cautions ho will not timl all tho mud holes in tho streots and fall off tho side walk so many times. One man who passed through this experience tho first of the week will probably take our advice In tho future, Thero aro other little matters of adrlco we might givo but will not do so at this time. Considerable comment has been made both good and ill of tho article in lait week's paper headed "Gossiping Peo ple." There was a lino of thought in that article as read by credibly disposed people which will work out much good if followed. Take for instance a young lady who ia full of spirit and believes in having a good time. She moots a youug married man with whom sho is acquainted and as thoy pass along the street they engago in some topic of conversation that causes then to soem to bo gay, mirthfui and having a good time. Tho lynx-eyed gossip notices, takes a sniff at tho spring laden air that makes youth smilo, and says to herself, "too familiar."

A once happy homo is blasted and tho doors of "so called" society aro turned against her. When you read this don't say that "feller" who runs the Chief called us old cats, but take a lesson, "fcr some day you may havo children of your own."

Hut let's talk 011 a subject that is new. Lot's talk opera liouso. Let's get down to busi ness. LetN think there is one paper in town which will battle for an enter prise or an uplifting of the community without weighing tho matter to seo if tho golden shoitelB, on account of -what ho says, aro going to co mo to his door or bo turned away. Let's build a play house and build up a town or else seo those of our business men who bellovu in progression go to Oklahoma. On lust week Monday tho Cutlor-llatton Company appeared in the city for a ono wook engagement and on their opening night did not show on account of tho fact as ono of the ladies put it, "there was too much water on tho stage caused by tho downpour of the day before, and as there was no seaside play in their repertoire they were not provided with tho necessary raiment bathing suits." Thoir billing but advance advertising was poor. They wore a nice lot of people. Tho weather waa unfavorable during thoir stay and they had good housoi, staying here un til Thursday morning of this weok This shows conclusively that this city is a good show town. With a nico, neat ground floor opera house it could bo made a bettor one. In ono act of a play last week oue of the actors camo onto tho stage and standing beforo tho scono representing a house, said; "What a nico homo I'vo got, why should I leave it?" The situation was painful and drew tears from the audi ence. How can an actor do justice to himself and the audience when ho has to stand before a pieco of scenory and say such words, when tho pretty homo looks as if a cyclono had struck it and someoue had finished the scone of deso lation by throwing a bucket of buttor milk ever the structure. What realism Is thero when actors havo to put up with such makeshifts? Tho time for school commencement is coming on apaco and tho children who graduato will have to put up with tho inconve- niiMico and stilling heat of tho old opera house. Tho citizens should ac cord to thofc girls and boys a bettor placu in which to hold their giadualing exercises. On Memorial day many noted speakers will bo hero from abroad and a laigo crowd is expoctod to be present fiom different parts of the state Where are you going to give them ontortainment? Tho way outjof theso problems in tho future is to build an opera house or auditorium. "Tho faotthat I am a good musician" said a lady from a country villago, "was tho means of saving my life dur ing tho flood which swept away a great part of our town a few years ago." "How ws that?" naked tho young lady who sang, becoming intensely interest ed all at once. "When the water struck our h uo my husband got on tho fold ing bod and floated down stream tit'til he was rescued " "And what did you do?" "Why, I accompanied him 011 tho piano.' Tho fishing season 1 almost hero and it would probably bo a good plan for some people to uso tho utmost care ln selecting their rods and got one that will boar out thoir stories.
