Shakespeare. Owing to the absence of Vir ginia Southern , who is still washing her feet in the Pacific ocean, the horse editor has been placed in charge of her depart ment for this week. Being somewhat ignorant ef the pre vailing pastime in . the social woild, he started out the first oi the week to call upon the ladies who trot in her best society with Iris nose for news accompanying'. Unfortunately, he found none of them at home. That is, drum- ine on the front door failed to get a response and he tried sev eral back doors with the same re sult. Peculiar too. but as he stepped upon the porches, cur tains and blinds were pulled down. At one place he distinct ly heard one lady say in a stage whisper, "who is the female?" Not being a female, he was much encouraged but the alarm at the door was unanswered. At these places where the cur tains were not pulled - down soon enough, he discovered that ki monas are the prevailing style. At the back doors, observation leads him to declare that the us ual spring cleaning has been delayed. MISS LONG AND Ml. SHORT WED The marriage of Miss Lettie Long and Mr. Siddie Short took place at high five, Rev. S. Pious Podd officiating. -Miss Fanny Farr was bridesmaid and Mr. Clarence Close best man. The bride's father gave her away. He said it 'was the proudest mo ment of his life and one he had looked forward to with much joy for twenty-four years or since his daughter was eighteen. The bride was gowned in a crape de cinnamon colored fluffed cro chet cotton creation and over her shoulders was flung an American flag. Owing to the non-arrival of the bridesmaid's wardrobe, she was not dressed at all. The groom wore the us ual sign of mourning and walked bravely to the altar. The bride has been a member of our younger set for the past twenty six years, and once took lessons on the mandolin. The groom has a local reputation as he has always insisted upon looking at three of a kind when he held two pair. The happy couple de parted for East Independence on a motorcycle and as soon as they get back will be at home if the groom succeeds in renting u house and the number of pres ents received mukes it possible. was printed these words, "Vo to it" and they responded most promiscuously. After the re freshments, so charmingly serv ed, the guests hurriedly departed as it was supper time and they were all hungry. ' CLIirULLT ENTERTAINS Mrs. Jackson Wad Highjinks entertained in a moet excruciat ing manner Sunday night. There were forty invited guests present and six came that were not invited, Ihe kitchen was sweetly smothered with oak leaves and lettuce so arranged that the words, "Ce mor.de est plein de fous" were formed. The bed in the front room was covered with the quests' hats, otherwise there were no decora tions. Each guest was request ed to write a poem about th rose. Miss Tillie Toddle was warded the prize, a delicious baby cap all latticed in pink cheesi cloth. Miss Toddle' po em was as follows: A lovely rose I'll place m Upon some man's breast, Then he will induce me, To share his little nest. Courses at the dinner were dispensed with and the twenty seven salads were placed upon the table all at or,e time. . Every fusil was given a card on which REVIVAL MEETING HITTING THE HIGH PLACES The musical feature of the week was the recital by Miss Caroline Evangeline Scream, pu pil of Prof. Philander Z. Long hair. Miss -Screnm's voice is full of beauty and Independence will hear much of her whether it desirea to do so or not. Every number was encored, a number of Miss Scream's relatives thoughtfully seeing to that. There was one unfortunate oc curance during the evening. While Miss Scream w as puling along"smoothly in the upper ops. she unconsciously commenced to soar higher' and higher and be fore her instructor could draw her attention, she had passed high C and was singing eight octaves above any music that was ever written. Prof. Long hair was fearful lest she had strained her voice, but he tried htr out after the program was completed and 8he was still in tune.

Well we're liere at your irty, Mr. Suiarty, and you'll live to w lili that you had never started ou this lino of yellow Journal vandalism. Who owns this miserable rag?"

It had conducted n hearing before the mayor and recommended that the city establish a tuberculosis sanatorium. The men swung away to the door, und lirand dodged Into an adjoining office.
