At first some of the fire boys kicked on getting white uniform trousers, but when they were told that the black stripe would show that they bad on their pants the objection blew away.

This puzzling proposition is keeping the loafers busy just now: A man owed another man a dollar, and all he had was seventy-five cents. So he went to a pawnbroker and pawned the seventy-five cents for fifty cents, and then he met a friend and sold him the pawn ticket calling for seventy five cents for fifty cents.

Troxel, of Neodesha, was in Buffalo Saturday in the interest of the Forest Oil company, or, more specifically speaking, to surrender a lease to Mrs. Henry Pearmain. It seems that Mrs. Pear-main claims a rental on the land because the oil company neither drilled a well nor surrendered the lease prior to the time designated in the lease for its forfeiture. It has been claimed that unless the lease is surrendered before any rental comes due, the land owner, upon which an oil company has a lease to prospect for oil or gas, can then collect a year's rental.

J. W. Davis, cf Rest, held to this theory and collected 220 rental before he would accept the lease, and some oth ers have done the same. Mrs. Pear- main now claims two year's rental.

Mr. TroxeI had a witness with him, and although the lease was not ac cepted he left it on the premises. The case will probably be settled in court. Advocate. It is not often that a physician recommends a patent medicine; when he does, you may know it is a good one.

We wonder did it pay. The researches of the classics class revealed the fact that the term "bachelor" is derived from a word meaning "stick." How extremely applicable! -Yesterday morning while the tru ants were receiving a private lecture in the classroom those who did not "indulge" celebrated by a protracted song service.

While discussing "ways and means" for obtaining some new books for the school one pupil asked the teacher if he "couldn't run his face" again for them. "Variety is the spice of life," therefore the middles think that they deserve a change of scene, as well as the other classes, and decidedly object to being cheated out of the classroom. By some supernatural agency the high school motto, "Better wear out than rust out," which has adorned the wall for years, has been changed to "Better tear out than bust out." This seems to be the prevailing sentiment. What is the matter with that teacher's voice? One girl says she can't study because he talks so loudly, and another pupil, with vivid descrip tive powers, said be talked in a "smiling tone." How is the poor fellow to strike a happy medium?

M. Hopkins, and Helen Q. Blakeslee, eldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. T.

Blakeslee, were united in marriage Wednesday evening, the 23d, at the home of the bride's parents in Neodesha, Rev. M. D. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian church at that town, solemnizing the nuptials. The relatives of the two families especially interested, a few couples of married friends, also a limited number of young friends of the couple, comprised the guests and witnesses of the auspicious event.

The Blakeslee home was duly illumined and tastefully adorned for the occasion, and the repast which shortly followed the wedding ceremony was not lacking in any feature. The new couple went to Mo. Pacific depot at 11:30 p. being accompanied to the station by all the younger people of the wedding party, and departed for Kansas City, intending to be gone a few days. Upon their return they will move into a cozy cottage, furnished and ready for them.

Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins are strictly a Wilson-co. pair. He was born on Fall river, just below the Oxbow bend, in 1872, and she in Neodesha city in 1876.

They are believed to be fortunately mated, and they seemed happy but earnestly sincere when responding to the solemn unifying questions. Mr. Hopkins is an unassuming but resolute and self-reliant man, whose merit is in performing, being faithful to duty and honest in his dealings; he will be true and devoted to her whom he has won. The bride, graceful of figure, fair in feature, modest but self-possessed in demeanor, comely, genteel, pure and womanly, will prove a sensible, loyal and affectionate wife. They have the genuine good wishes of all their friends.
