vice for the past decade or two.
We’ve named him (the boy of
course) William - expect to call him
Bill, or Billy. He will not be a coun

great ball player, and we have hopes
of him being in one of the major

west end and they with a few local
democrats and the delegation from
Stella and Shubert, made up the
thirty odd in attendance.
R- A. Clark of Stella was made
chairman-—and there was an under
current visible which showed plainly
that it didn't suit some of the dem
ocratic bosses to see Ralph there.
The following delegates were sel
ected to go to the state convention
at Lincoln Tuesday: R. A. Clark, G.
R. Hall, 11. S. Lord, Henry Gerdes, E.

Don’t Worry.
To the Tribune:
The Journal, after commenting on
the outcome of the Hiawatha Chau
tauqua, expresses a doubt about the
financial success of the Falls City
Chautauqua because of lack of greater
•publicity” in the Journal.
Perhaps the Journal doesn't know
that $250.00 lias been spent for “prin
ter’s ink” already. Perhaps the Jour
nal doesn't know that the receipts
for the first half of the Falls City
Chautauqua equaled the total receipts
of the Hiawatha Chautauqua. And,
perhaps the Journal doesn't know that
the expense of the Falls City Chau
tauqua is $1,000 greater than that of
Hiawatha. “All's well that ends well,’
so don't worry dear Journal—more
people are killed by worry than by
work.

A Midsummer
Day s Dream
With a swish and a dash and a
double-width smile, the Typewriter
Lady burst into the office.
“O, girls, hello—I mean—good—
morning — I'm — talking—about! Let
me get my things off. There, that’s
better. Now, guess what I’ve done!”
And the Typewriter Lady beamed
about her.
“Got married.”
“Got a raise.”
“Got a bargain hat.”
“No, you silly children. Something
much better. I’ve been offered a house
in the country for the summer.” And
the T. L seated herself triumphantly
and played a barcarolle on her ma
chine, with variations.
“There's’ ’a’ lady at our boarding
house who owns this lovely old place
in the country. The people she routs
it to are going abroad f( r t lie sum
mer and my sister and I are to have
it free for the whole season, just for
taking care of it.
“We’re just waiting for salary day,
so we can buy the few things we’ll
need for it. You see it isn’t quite
completely furnished—that is, we’ll
need a few porch chairs and some
extra table linen, and some bath fix
tures. The bath fixtures are my idea.
I always did have a perfect craze for
bath fixtures.
»ou can ail come ana spend week
ends. Why, I can hardly wait for the
first of the month to buy my com
mutation ticket. And, say, I under
stand there's a summer school out
there for young men! Aha, I thought
that’d bring out a few sparkles in
dicating interest. I think it’s sort of a
preparatory school where they get
them ready for college—and you know
boys that are being prepared for col
lege usually have fathers who aren’t
exactly what you’d call poor. Oh, I
have a perfectly glorious summer
planned.”
"I say, Hortense,” chimed in the One
Practical Girl, “have you been out to
see the place?”
“Not yet. iWe're going Saturday
afternoon, so as to be there when they
deliver the porch chairs and the linen
and the bathroom accessories.”
The One Practical Girl smiled in
scrutably. “Once upon a time,” said
she, “I bought a suit through seeing
it illustrated in the back of a maga
zine. It was a perfectly grand suit—In
the picture. My wash-lady is wearing
it. Every time I see it on her I have
pangs of conscience to think how I
made a fellow creature a victim to
something I wouldn’t tolerate myself.
She has never reproached me in
words. She Just persistently wears
the suit—the inoral of this tale being
that you never can tell until you see
things.” And the One Practical. Girl
went on sharpening her lead pencil.
On Monday morning the Typewriter
Lady’s desk remained closed. The
girls had been breathlessly awaiting
her account of the country paradise,
of how the porch looked garnished
with its new chairs, of the splendor
of the nickel soap dish, the towel
racks, the dollar-twenty-nlne-reduced
from-one-fifty-shower bath, and all the
rest that was to bring summer refresh
ment to the city-worn office ladies.
I
At noon came Hortense, wearing the
blank expression of a magician whose
| trick has gone awry—who has failed
J to make the rabbits come out of the
hat—and who dreads the jeers of the
audience. One could see with half an
eye that the tears were being held
back with a mighty effort. The One
Practical Girl slipped her arm swiftly
around her shoulder.
“Don't you care, Hortense, I bet I *
know just exactly what’s happened,
Didn’t I buy that suit out of the
magazine? But, I say, don’t you cara
You can make up what you're out of
pocket by having ten-cent lunches,
same as I did for a couple of months,
and you’ll feel all the better for it,
I-”
“It isn’t the money,” wailed the
downcast one, “half so much as it is
the meanness of that woman mis
representing things to me like that. I
remember her distinctly mentioning
‘the tub.’ The tub! It makes me rage
when I think of it! Imagine the pic
ture of my nickel plated soap rack at
tached to the side of a disintegrating
wooden washtub, and my perfectly
grand patent nozzle shower bath
hooked on to the branch of a tree
somewhere, rigged up over the
tub-”
“Hortense!!!”
“In a tent, In a tent, of course!
There wasn't any bathroom* And the
porch chairs! Oh, girls, it makes me
weep to think of my beautiful porch
chairs sitting out in the middle of
the dusty road, being run over every
minute by automobiles! They’d have
to sit there, you see, for there wasn't
any porch! And the front door opened
right on to the road. And as for table
linen! What would be the use of|
table linen if you had to eat canned
rood all the time? You could just
make a picnic of it and have it out
In the woods, or anywhere, for all*
they had was a coal stove to cook on, I
and I’d rather go without eating than
to have to make fires and things every
night when I get home. And the pre-!
paratory school? Oh, girls, oh, girls!,
I hope none of you have really set
your hearts on that part of It! Tha
preparatory school is for boys under
fifteen. Pass the smelling salts!
‘T’v’e’ ’been the whole morning go
ing the rounds of the stores trying
to make them take back the bath
fixtures and the porch chairs and tha
table linen. But all I ask now is to be
allowed to stay in town all summer,
close to an electric light, the boarding
house table and a bath tub!"
SURPRISERS SURPRISED.
Perpetrators of Surprise Did Not
Find Their Victim.
Special from Stella.
Monday was John Tolly's birthday
and his relatives planned a surprise
for him. They all went to his home
in the forenoon to take dinner, but
to their surprise he was in Falls City

The family had a fine time together
however.
Dr. Greene has been making regu
lar trips to Salem the past few days
to attend Hollis Stouffer, who became
overheated last week and has been

getting better.—Salem Index.
