Freeman's home. There are no stores. The drug store spoken of last week is simply a vacant building with the sign "Drug Store" painted on it, wnich seryed that purpose an early day in Dighton, but there is nothing about it that would cause the assembled guests to experience any unnatural feeling as about 125 of them sat down in it to appease the inner man. The drug store acted very nicely all through the dinner hours and during the ball game and, of course, the guests did the same. About as soon as we got there O.

P. Jewett yanked us into the "Drug Store" where two tables were loaded with- with with well, were you at' a big dinner in western Kansas? Then we'll not attempt to describe it, but simply say that it's no news paper lie to say that the women who prepared this dinner, like oth er western Kansas women, do not take a back seat for anybody when it comes to cooking for the occa sion. That chicken oh my and that cake and pie! and any amount of other good things. There was lots of it left after all had eaten like work hnuds, but we had to come away before supper. After dinner the guests were incited into his big white house by Mr.

tree- man, where Mrs. C. J. Van Keuren handled the organ and Mr. M.

M. tosdick the violin, and the music furnished served to further enliven the hearts of all and put them in a proper mood to watch a good ball game. The guests then proceeded to the ball ground and the game started. It was a nice game too, and close, up to the seventh' inning but in this inning the Dighton boys ran in 7 tallies. It was an interest ing game all the way through but the Dighton club was a little too much for Sutton and at the end of the game the score stood 12 to 6.

All enjoyed the day verv much as could be seen by the most casual obseryer and frequent expressions of satisfaction with the program. and the true hospitality of the Sut ton people who managed the enter tainment. NOTES. The wind blew too hard. The Dighton boys made the first tally.

Ike Armantrout made the first home run. Crimby Jewett caught a fly at the proper time. There were holes in every bat the alfalfaites could find. Rov Burt knocked a dandy fly hut there was also a dandy catcher in the field. The umpire has a just right to kick when it's the fashion.

And you can't blame him. Ben Riffss got afraid of the holes in his bat and let the ball hit him on the cheek to make sure of first base. Sutton would have had two more tallies had it not been for Will Fosdick's catching a fly at an op portune time. DECOKATIOS DAY. Siindav afternoon the G.
