Cove Boy Distinguishes Himself
Floyd Antler, who recently entered
the Washington School of Veterinary
Surgery at Pullman, Wash., in the
mid-semester examination in anatomy
i of VinlH. spmired first dace. It is
customary in this school to reward the
student who earns for himself any
marked distinction. In this instance
the recipient was given his choice of
"three down" or 'five in the air" to
be awarded by the professor in
charge. Floyd with his mind on
nM,innt.ics. ehose the "three down."
He was then called before the class
and commanded to humble himself on
"all fours". The professor then pro
ceeded to administer "three down" in
the form of three sharp blows with!
tne enouider blade of a horse, on that
particular spot where a lazy man
first wears out his trousers.
Last Thursday evening in the par
lors of the M. E. church a reception
was tendered Rev. Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Pratt and family, formerly of On
tario, but later assigned to this
pastorate. The address of welcome
was made by A. A. Antler in his
unique and characteristic style, to
which a heartv response was made
by the pastor.
The church was pleased to notice
in attendance members from every ;
evangelical church in Cove. The '
Ladies' Aid produced the surprise of
the evening by presenting to the
trustees of the church a warranty
deed to the parsonage lot., they hav
ing paid off the indebtedness of
same. '
The disposition of the cancelled
note was aext considered. By un
animous vote it was decided to burn
it in the presence of all. Mrs. M. J.
Duffy, who for six years so capably
filled the office of President of the
Ladies' Aid, was selected to apply the
match. As the flames of the now
worthless paper shot skyward the
strains of the Doxology, rendered by
the choir, ascended to the throne of
Heaven.
The good-will spirit and the tidings
of great joy upon which the mind of
man and woman had been feasting
the whole evening prepared them for
the refreshing of the inner man which
was soon accomplished by cakes,
salads, cocoa and coffee, after which
each wended his way homeward leei
ing it was good to have been pres
ent. '
Cove for the first time is engaged
in preparing for a community Christ
mas tree to be held Saturday even
ing at 7:30 at the Cove opera house.

usual decorations, varied by the il
lumination of colored electric lights.

The manager of the moving picture
show, F. C. Weskil, has accommo
dated the community by the use of
the opera house for that evening and
will distribute his pictures free at in
tervals during the program.

being shown.

Chesterfields satisfy they let you

They began treating me, and almost

I now weigh three pounds more than

They furnish me with sputum cups,

They gave mo a nice cotton mattress

New York and Its Cats.
New York, Dec. 22. (United
Press) New York is all fussed. up
again over its cats. It becomes so at
least once every year whenever the
days for the show of these animals
comes around. Most of the time cats
are simply cats, and have to do their
exercising during the night for com
plete safety, but now and again men
and women put them in cages at one
of the great exhibition places in the
metropolis, and figuratively throw
boquets at them. This is what is go
ing on at the annual cat show just
now. It is said to be the best one
New York has ever had, and if valua
tions of individual cats can be taken
as a criterion, it certainly is so. Hard
as it is to imagine, kittens are at a
premium. More of the finest type of
cats are demanded than the market
can supply. Prices of four figures
for little animals are by no means
rare, and one cat whose fur was not
improved, it is claimed, by the serv
ices of a beauty doctor, has been the
subject of a litigation in one of the
higher courts. It is to be recorded
that white cats are very much In
vogue, just now, and red cats are
coming into favor. It should be ex
plained that what is officially named
as a red cat, is not really of that
color, but merely has a pink tinge in
its fur that is very hard to produce.
The best part about the petting and
pampering of cats is perhaps that
they are not spoiled by the process,
and that even their dignity is not
ruffled by fussing.

"What do you consider the most de
spicable creature In the world?" he
asked by way of uncorking a little con
versation.
"The man who knows ho can't dance,
but won't admit It," she retorted,
glancing at her pumps, which showed
evidence of frequent contact with bin
oxfords. Buffalo Kxprpsn.
Hat Checking in New York.
New York, Dec. 22. (United
Press) lLo, the poor hat check boy is
again the subject of severe criti
cisms. Some unkind man has calcu
lated that a five dollar hat when left;
at restaurants in the ordinary course
of a rather frivolous New York ex
istence, costs fifteen dollars in tri
bute to the cloak room before the un
necessary brushing wears it out. He
has his quarrel with the hat check
boy, but the latter correctly re
sponds that he is merely the paid em
ployee of the coat room concession
holder. This last-named person is
quick to respond that the price ha
pays for the privilege of putting hats
on pegs and taking them off again
is very high, and that there is noth
ing in the nature of his work to clas
sify it under the head of a philanthro
phy. The way the great public looks
at the matter is this, that if people
want to be gay and buy superfluous
meals at unseemly hours they should
pay becomingly for each step of their
gaiety, even unto the hat check boy,
but that when one buys necessary
food it should not be demanded even
to hint that they pay many inci
dental charges. The one person who
really benefits by the New York res
taurant hat check system is the wait
er, for the last impression of resent
ment that a diner has after spending1
twice as much for an evening meal
as he intended, is visited on the hat
check boy, and the waiter's tip is forgotten.
