The Teachei's association met at Rod Cloud last Satuidny. There wero but few in attendance, though they had an interesting session, and adjourned to meet at Guide Rock on tho second Saturday in May. Miss Bvn King's essay on "Wbat Teacheis and Patents Should Read" was good On last Sattuday night Dr. Hiliz and wife gave a spiritual seanco at the court house Nutnal Telephone Meeting. Monday evening a mass meeting of citizens was held at tho court house to discuss ways and means to polo mid wire the city in order to connect with the Farmers' Mutual Telephone com pany which havo alrsady boon run in to tho city. Dr Creighton acted as chairman of the meeting and George Nowhouso as secretaiy. Representatives of the Funnel's Mutual wero present, and ex plained the proposition of that com puny. Tho Fai meib' Mutual wants the merchants mil others in the city to take stock in their company al$30 per share. K'icli share entitles tho holder to one phono and connections with tho main lino to tho centra1. Hy puichas ing stock in the coinp-iny each share holder will own his own phone and tho connections tunning to the company line of poles. Any damage to the phone or connections with the main line is to be repaired at the expense of the owner f tho stock, while the company will bear the expense of it purs on the company line. The ililliciilty of seeming enough -nli-cribeis to the phones in the resi dence ilisti let is where ".( o hi'ch occurs. Many people who want to use the iiiralphom do not care, or are tluati cially unable, to put up the i'M for the first cost of the pilot o connection..,. If an airangeiin 1U can be made wheie by piivate tesulences may he givi n telephone service at a nominal rental tin re is no doubt that the .scheme will bo a success-, as tho nierclnnts and nrofessional men aie willing and even anxious to get connections with the rural lines. Tlio merchants, however, do not want to go into tho scheme unless they can grit as good servico to the private residences in tho city as they now have. The expense of maintnining both tho Hell ami mutual telephones is a little more than they cue to bear, and un less tho nun it'll can make some arrange ment for tenting phonos to those who wish to place them in piivmo resi dences, it is unlikely that the mer chants will take stock in tho mutual concern. A committee, consisting of Dr Cieighton, F. W. Cowden and C J I'intt, was appointed to confer with a Cyclones and Webster comity. Don't you realize it pays and let me know when it expires.

The committee representing the mutual people will present the conclusions of their con ference with the merchants' committee to a meeting of tho Farmer's Mutual company to be held Satuiday, nt which time an arrangement will probably be mado for connection with tho liladen rural line.

Every woman Is afraid that her dog will cat up all the other dogs. Thoso who like a thing rarely tnko tho pains to say so. But tho kickers aro active. When a woman admits that her child has a disposition like its father this is an admission on her part that tho child is not perfect. "In reporting tho birth of tho third baby in a family," said tho chief to u cub today, "cut out all reforenco to a proud father. Also tho word 'bounc ing.' " When some men say u show is rotten thoy use the word with particular ef fectiveness; thoy make you think not of rotten apples, but of rotten eggs. Hero is a moan way to get oven with a bachelor who has injured you.: Wait till ho is dead, and send a lloral pillow bearing tho word "Father" to his fu neral.

Horton is ahead on tho princess question. It is said that two members of tho royal family live in Horton who wero clothed and fed by tho neighbors all winter, but who still show- by their manners that thoy aro princesses. Somehow wo aro never impressed with tho stranger in town of whom it is said "he comes of u well known southern family." No southern family is well known this far north outside of one or two oloctod to high olllco. We object to tho fashion mngazines have of printing u picturo of mi aged woman in connection with a poem To Helen," "To Mary," etc. adding that tho poem was dedicated to hor as a girl, when tho distinguished poot wroto it.
