Mrs. Freeman was convicted on confession in the federal court at Wichita, several months ago. She was released on bond, but forfeited the bond and disappeared.

Mrs. Roy Russell accompanied at the piano. The wedding occurred on the 36th wedding anniversary of the bride's parents, this fact bringing an added touch of interest to the occasion.

Some years rgo a troopsh4p was making its way across the Pacific, bound for the Philippines, carrying a squadron of the Ninth cavalry (colored). The ship arrived at the 180th meridian on Saturday evening, and there was no Sunday that week, the calendar skipping from Saturday to Monday. The colored soldiers were much puzzled by this remarkable occurrence, and many discussions arose among them as to the explanation. A wise old sergeant sitting on deck smoking his pipe, was listening to a group of disputants discussing the question from every angle.

Finally he could stand it no longer, and spoke up: "If yuh higgahs '11 shut up fo' a minute, and quit 'splayin' yo ignan'ce, I'll 'splain de mattah to yuh, so's even yuh can und'stan' it."

"If they could they wouldn't be angels very long," was the grim reply. "But did you ever preach that they could?" "Not that I remember of.

Heaven is a leng way off, deacon." "My wife kinder believed that after -he got to heaven she could see what 'vas takin' place down here." The parson was silent. "She wanted me to promise not to marry again in case she died, because if she looked down and saw me with a second wife it would make her feel bad." "If anything could make the angels feel bad in heaven, it would not be heaven, would It?" "By George, parson, it wouldn't! Martha was mistaken about it.

"Yes, I kinder promised, but it was because I did not want her to feel bad as an angel.

"Yes, kinder." "Thrown out any hints yet?" "A dozen, I guess." "You may find that she made fi promise to her dying husband." "Jewhittaker! I'll see about that the first thing!" It was a new scare for the deacon, and he made the two blocks to the widow's house on the trot. He found her in the garden coaxing the pea vines to climb their best, and he didn't wait a minute before asking: "Widder Stevens, did your husband to go to heaven when "he Mftd?"

His aunt, who lives with him, tells a laughable story, illustrating his calmness of manner and love of method. Not long ago his aunt tip-toed into his room on the second floor some time after midnight, and told him she thought there were burglars in the house.

The doctor attired himself in his dressing robe and went downstairs. In the rear hall he encountered a tough-looking man trying to open a door that led into the back yard. The burglar had successfully unlocked the door and was pulling at it with all his strength. The doctor, seeing the robber's predicament, called to him: "It doesn't open that way. you idiot! It slides back!" CARY CIRCLE ENTERTAINS That appreciation from the official board of the Christian church brings joy and gladness to the Journal.

So many people think newspapers don't need any encouragement, sympathy or thanks. A newspaper is supposed to go right along doing its best for the community, nad as a general thing its efforts to do good are taken as a matter of course. But newspapers are considerably human. They like to be patted on the back once in a while, just like folks. Argentine Peach Tree3.

Belle Plaine News. King Baggot In Rural Drama. "The Silent Valley," a two-reel feature recently released, and featuring King Baggot in a role ultra-rural, proved such a success and so diverting that the company has decided to release several other film dramas, disclosing Mr. Baggot in the rough and ready. "The Mill Stream," a two-reel feature, will be the next along this line.

Most of the sitMngs for it were laid at Smithtown, Long island, where Mr. Baggot, with his company, has been motoring every sunny day. It is a gripping drama of the elemental, showing this actor in a role of original qualities. Charles Lessey is the director of the piece. Not What He Meant.
