And this is just what hap-ened to fifteen of Bronson 's popular young ladies on Tuesday evening, when arrayed in little girl's costumes and carry-ingtheir favorite dollies assembled at the home of Mrs. W.

W. Patterson, turning back-, ward the pages of time to taste again of childhood pleasures. To make the affair more real, each guest was called upon to some experience of their young days, some of them proving very interesting. Next fol lowed a procession of objects, representing nursery jingles and famous men. Then an oratorical contest, several of the recitals rivaling the speeches of the great Demosthenes.

Apricot ice cream and cake were served, which just suited the little girls appetites to a dot. Mrs. Frank Meyer won the prize for being the best little girl, Mrs. Joe Wolf received contest glories and Miss Esther Campbell took the oratorical prize. As usual the little girls forgot how long their mother told them to stay and so remained untill a late hour.

The guest list consisted of: Mesdames Frank Meyer, Joe Wolf and Oscar Howell and Misses Lizzie and Carrie Meyer, Uhlma Goodno, Esther Campbell, Nannie Anderson, Reta Shank, Mabel Holeman, Lutie Moss, Beulah McCarty, Mary Camac, Lola Mattox, Maude Baldwin, and. Beryl Dewey of Ft. Scott. "MUndB." 4It Pays t6 AdvertiBe" You never heard that before did you? Well, Dr. Howell made that very orginial remark on the street to the reporter the other day in' orde ring out a little stray ad that proclaimed in the Pilot's columns that a small black pig liad been lost.

"Yes, we got him, said the doc tor, "before the paper came out the second time." "Did you forget to order the ad out, then?" ventured the news gatherer. i.u cine. we iouna it paid to let-it run. You see we lost but one pig, but every man who found a stray pig brot him to our sty and dumped him in. We have four pigs now.

I guess that is all the swine we want, so take'er out." r-'-; PRONSON MARKET REPORT. -Corrected Thursday Evening.

Who ever brircs "Visiting Friends An innocent little item appeared in the personal column of the Pilot' last that Ruby Leek was in Ft. Scott visiting friends. Weil, that might have been so alright but mcidently Mr.

Chris Pritchett was there also, and with Miss Ruby went before the Probate Judge and the two were made one. Mr. Pritchett is a sober and industrious young man and well worthy of the admirable lady of. his choice. They will make their home on the farm east of town where Chris has heretofore undergone the lonely ordeal of batching.

Happiness be their lot. Preparing Strong Program President Wm Ireland was in Ft. Scott Sunday presiding at a meeting of the executive board of the Bourbon County Sunday School Association. At this meeting a strong program was arranged for the convention to be held here Thursday and Friday, September 14 and 15. Upon this program some of the state workers have a place as well as some of our strong Bourbon county talent.

A half hour's musical, provided principally by Bronson talent, will precede each evening program. The complete program is expected to be out the last of this week. "Who wants to Takea Ride?" asks the Erie Record in a headline over the following bit of news: "What do you. think of a man who invests seven or eight hundred dollars in a riding vehicle and then way down in his neart nopes tnat ne will never take a ride inside the same? That's what Judge O. Denius, Erie's enterprising and courte ous undertaker, has gone and done.

The judge a new hearse the latter part of last weeic ana sne is a beauty, even if the judge, and others as well, do not care about taking a ride inside the same for years and years HIS WIFE'S VERDICT. Mr. Sldener had made his first public speech. His subject was gooi-r the Iniquities of industrial economy OTtiV Yia Vi n-rrA Tito tiAQfmant li I hafifl adequate. He was not sure.

He waited for his wife's verdict, but she was strangely silent. She had listened to him from the gallery of the town hair, and he had half expected her to meet him at the door afterward, and to say, as soon as they were out of hearing: "Oh, it were half way home and she had said nothing of the kind. he began awkwardly, when he could bear it no longer, "what did you think of my speech?" "What you said was all right' she answered, with guarded enthusiasm. "But it seemed to me that you didn't make the most of your opportunities." "Opportunities?" repeated Mr; Side ner. "What do you mean, Effle?" "Why," Mrs.

Sldener replied, "you had ever so 'many chances to sit down before you did."

R.

Lunceford and son, Elmo, and family joined the company a part of the time, making a grand total of thirty one picknickers. Our host, Mr. Luriceford's hospitality knew no bounds. The coolness of the weather was scarcely noticable and the bunch paddled about in the twater every day, the nineteen youngsters being thus, as it were in a vestibule to heaven. About a ton of grub was con sumed.

Not One accident or ill- ness occured aud even the older ones have been feeling like colts ever since. Quite a lot of fine fish were caught. More Routes to Change Postmaster Ross has been go ing over the rural routes this' week, accompaning Theo Hammons on route three Monday, with a view to making some changes necessitated by the neglect of the roads thereon.
