Frank Grooms and his sister , i Mis El-ie ? , attended Penbrook S. S. last Sunday. j ! Miss Theodora Tillson spent hoi * vacation week at home , Mi s A.lma taking her back to school j Sunday evening. Theo. Tillson lost six head of cattle in twenty-four hours in the stalks. John Hittle has lost two more. \\r. H. Ryder has also lost two head. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Foster , Mr. and Mrs. Frank Thompson and and family and Mr. and Mrs. G. O. Hancock were visitors outside the district who attended the Christmas festivities given by the Penbrook Sunday school. There has been a ripple of ex citement over the report that Jim- mie Hutchison has the smallpox. Dr. Keyes of Norden was called and pronounced ifc chickenpox. It must be a virulent case as he is reported to be one mass of erup tion. * The Wednesday evening prayer meetings at the Penbrook school house continue to grow in interest. Each brother or sister takes his place in turn as leader. Some late converts , who have not been baptized , are able to lead very acceptably. Henry A. Dowden had the mis fortune" have a nail he was driv ing bounce from the frozen timber and strike him in the eye. He has returned to Blackburn , Mo. , and it is not definitely known if the sight is destroyed or not. He could not take little Goldie Peddi- cord to'her grandmother's in Mo. , as had been planned. / The question before the debating club in the Hutchison district lasjb Friday was : "Resolved that the ftegro has suffered greater cruelty from the white race than the In dian. " Frank Grooms was chosen on the affirmative and posted ac cordingly. Owing to the absence of various speakers , Frank was transferred to the negative side , and won out single handed. Frank must be pretty well informed on the iniquities of the white race against his weaker brothers. "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn. The Christmas entertainment given by the Penbrook Sunday school passed off very happily. The little log school house was profusely decorated with pines. The entire inside of the roof was covered , forming a green arch which showed to good advantage the crimson bells and bright chains and white star , with which the young people beautified the little room. The Christmas tree was loaded with gifts for young and old. It was a season of kindliness and good cheer that will long be remembered. Miss Alma Till- son's recitation of "The Heavenly Guest , " by Tolstoi , received much praise. All the children did well. Special praise is due Messrs. Dick , Delbert and Charles Burdick and Percy Sorby for their faithful work in putting up the evergreens and to C. W. Hamar for contrib uting the trees. EAGLE. W C. T.

One fashionable hotel on Fifth ave * nue refuses to give any receipt for jewelry deposited in its safe or hold itself responsible for a greater amount than $250. Its explanation of this rule is based on an experience which seems excuse enough. Two guests of the hotel kept their valuables arid money In the safe. They left them there when they went abroad , sometimes to stay for six months. Once the wife came back alone and drew out all the monej' and valuables. As she had of ten done so before the clerks gave the box to her as a matter of course. It was not until her husband had return ed and wanted the same valuables that the hotel knew of their divorce. The husband brought suit and recovered all he claimed. Since that result of its confidence In Its guests the hotel has limited its responsibility to $250. New York Sun. A Cholera Belt. "The cholera belt , " said a pale Anglo- Indian , "is uot an imaginary girdle , like your pie belt , but a real girdle , which every foreign resident of India wears day and night. In winter the belt Is made of heavy wool. In the summer it is made of light wool. It is never taken off. Even when you arc sleeping in a temperature of 105 de grees , tossing and moaning and per spiring , despite the punkah that fans you from above , you still keep on your cholera belt , no matter what else you shed. Every Anglo-Indian has a couple of dozen cholera belts. They are said to prevent cholera , and I have no doubt they do so. At any rate , I never heard , of any wearer of a cholera belt whom j * cholera ever seized upon , " 1C ' M ! * nilill . & * O ; uklr "ji Vnlfntio- V Smp l > ran < led braided Mt thigh. f -0fGf3r3ZtfytZFlf' \ Some i Siimc braml ' ( l i rmideil * onrkh tlilgh on left 5 or > houider siniil"rj3 ] | a orthiJiSil V ' as cmtn er bin. and m - < > f 3Cx S me r at- ; tie bran i- d 111 : pec ( either side up ) on left "lue or lilj . p on left jaw and o t shimmer ot ontis QJ QJQ m left hip of horse- on left jaw of horses Neh Stock branded with 7 on left hip ilso same as cut Range between r/ordonand Snake creeks and on rhp Vlobrara river Cody.
