Tom -Neal in the Mail and Breeze. Two boys traveling along the road noticed a nickle. Both jumped for it and each one claimed that he had seen it first. In about a minute both the boys were red hot and a scrap was on in the course of which they bloodied each other's noses and tore each other's clothes. When they had fought until they were tuckered out another boy happened along and asked what the row was about.

Each one told his story and both appealed to the third boy to settle the dispute. And the third boy, who was a smooth youth, who will make a politician in the future, asked to see the nickle. And when he had it in his hand, he said to one of the boys: "Which would you rather, that that feller should have this nickel or me, providin' of course that you couldn't get it yourself?" And the boy being hot at the boy who had bloodied his nose, said, "You, of course." The the smooth lad said to the other of the scrappers, "Do you want that other feller to have this nickle?" And the boy who had lost some hair in the contest and had a long scratch on his face said, no, of course he didn't it want the other boy to have the money and that he didn't intend let him have it, either. Then the smooth boy said, "Well, of course this ain't nuthin' to me, but you see how it is. If I give this nickle to either of you, the other feller will be hot and want to whip me.

There is only one thing Lean see for me to do." And with that he shoved the nickle down into his jeans and went whistling on on his way. Moral: It generally pays to settle your quarrels among yourselves. There was once a young fellow who was the only boy in the family. If the boy had been one of a family with half a dozen boys in it, he would no doubt have maintained a fair batting average, and would haye been known as a pretty good sort of a boy, but it was his misfortune that he had no brothers and also that he had a mother who was long on affection, but just a tritie shy on common sense along certain lines. For instance she was of the opinion that her son Algernon Henri was altogether the best thing in the boy lite saat there was in that part of the state.

She could see no spots on Algernon either mentally or physically; in other words, as the boy in the next block declared, she considered Algernon as a genuine Lulu. Whatever Algernon wanted he had to have, no matter how it might discommode the rest of the family. His mother and three sisters were his servants and when Algernon said for them to go they went. Algernon's paternal ancestor was a person of a good deal of horse sense, but then he was busy at his store and let his wife manage things around the house. He observed once in a while that his son had a tendency to want to run things and thought some time when he was not busy he would call the young man down a story or two, but business was rushing and he neglected to do it.

In this way it came about that came to think that he was by all odds the warmest number in his county ol' cougressional district, and that about all the people around where he was were made for, was to wait on him. At last the time came when Algernon had to be sent away to college. His mother wept quite a good deal when she bade her son good-bye, but then she was reconciled by the thought that he would be certain to be the bright particular star of the institution when he entered. She knew of course that there couldn't be any other boys there as amart as her Algie and that thought was great comfort to her. She anticipated the pleasure she would have in telling the women of her club how Algie was leading his class and how all the professors doted on him and predicted for him a brilliant future.

Algernon wos largely of the same opinion as his mother until he got to the college and entered as a freshman and then somehow or other things did a not seem to come his way just as much as he had anticipated. Nobody seemed inclined to pet him a little bit, but on the contrary there seemed to be several scholars there who were determined to make things uncomfortable for Algernon. They all seemed to get onto the boy and for a time they did not do athing to him. They made him get up in the middle of the night and dance barefooted for the amusement of the gang. They also induced him to go away into the deep woods where the mosquitoes were thick and hold a sack and candle while they professed to him that they were going out 0 0 0 00 00 00 00 te drive in tne snipe.

And afterward Algernon walked four miles back to town, part of the way being through a swamp where the mud and water was up to his waist. And when Algernon made a roar about it he was greeted with equine laughter and life became to him very much of a burden. Neither did the professors write letters telling how brilliant a lad Algernon was, on the contrary, he ranked down near the foot of his classand pulled through on final examination by the skin of his teeth. When Algernon came home tospend the summer vacation it was observed by those who knew him that he lacked a great deal of being as fresh as he was when he left the parental roof. It is a mighty good thing sometimes for a young fellow to get out where he will learn that he is not nearly as many as his fond mother had led him to suppose he was.

THORNTON COOKE FRED D. CARMAN Third Team Wins. Saturday afternoon the Parkerville boys came over in their little red striped suits to show our boys how to play ball. The third nine had seen the first nine play the day before and wanted to redeem base ball in Herington. The fun began and the way the boys crossed home plate was enough to make a person give a good yell for once.

The score kept climbing up until at the end of the game Herington had 20 and Parkerville 15. Here is the way they did: Herington 0 5 6 0 6 2 1 20 Parkerville 8410000 1 1-15 And these are the ones who did it: HERINGTON PARKERVILLE McDonald Houston Miller Dilley Cooke Stage Williams Garnes Calkins H.

M. White, treasurer of the State Sunday School association, shows up remarkably well for Dickinson county.

No other county in the state gave as much except Shawnee, including Topeka. Douglas county gives only $60, Saline $50 and this is the top notch of the richest counties in the state.

Dickinson deserves much praise for the excellent work and liberal contributions. It also deserves commendation for having one of the most thorough Sunday School organizations in the Reflector. Suicide at Chapman. Dispatch from Chapman to the Re- flector: A terrible event occurred Friday ternoon at the farm home of M. D.

Thisler, five miles southeast of this place, when his wife took her own life using a shotgun to end her earthly existance. Mr. Thistler went to the field at 1 o'clock Friday, leaving his wife alone in the house. At 5 o'clock he returned, putting out his team and finding no trace of his wife went to their bedroom. There a fearful sight met his gaze.

His wife's dead body lay on the floor, the walls and floor bespattered with blood and a shotgun on the floor. The indications were that Mrs. Thisler had tied the trigger of the loaded gun to the bedpost with a cord, then lying on the floor, pulled the gun toward her discharging it, the load taking effect in the upper part of her head and tearing it away. Death had come several hours before. No reason is known for the fearful deed.

"The deceased was of a pleasant, jolly disposition and not the least inclined toward melancholy. She had shown no indications of mental trouble and so far as known now left no explanation of the cause of suicide. Her maiden name was Edwards and she was a sister of Mrs. C. A.

Sherer, Mrs. S. Hassler and Mrs. John Murphy. She was highly esteemed and her death is a great shock to the community.

She was aged about 45 year. Score 5 to 2. Herington went to Marion last Friday to play ball. From the account of the game we don't believe they played much ball. They got there alright and the game started off, but the boys were up in the air somewhere and Marion won the game in the first inning by running in three tallies.

After that Calkins settled down and allowed only two more men to cross the rubber for Marion, one in the third and one in the sixth. Herington did not see home plate till the game was drawing to a close, when they tried to make a Garrison finish but all they could do was to get one each in the sixth and seventh. During the game Calkins gavel only one base on balls, and struck out a number of the batters. Morton, Marion's third baseman, was again a little too strong throwing to first. Ross Beam went down and umpired for the game.

About twenty-five went along to bring the boys home. Score by innings: Herington 000001100-2 Marion 30100100 -5 HERINGTON MARION Calkins Maltby Ashley B. Riddle J. Huey H. Riddle Cooke Corby R.

In response to a general invitation from Neighbor Robert Telfer, V. C. of Camp No. 8,139, M. W.

about thirty "neighbors" with their wives, daughters and best girls met at the beautiful home of Neighbor Telfer, day afternoon, June 15, to have an old fashioned good time. The afternoon was spent in social chats, and in games of croquet and quoit. At 5 o'clock a foot-race was called off. Neighbors Rhodes, Mathewson, Engle and Jacobs entered the race which resulted in a close shave between Rhodes and Jacobs, with Jacobs in the lead. Supper was served from 6:20 to 8 o'clock.

After supper a tug-of war resulted in a well earned victory for the married men over the single men. At this juncture all assembled upon the lawn where seats had been provided and Neighbor Tefler introduced Neighbor Jacobs, master of ceremony, and requested a few remarks. After a few brief remarks by Neighbor Jacobs a volunteer program was rendered, which lasted for two hours and consisted of songs, recitations, declamations, instrumental music, and addresses by several Neighbors, the last being Neighbor Tefler. In appreciation of the hospitality shown by Neighbor Tefler, all the Neighbors present joined in greeting him with the "Woodman Honors," and then retired, feeling that they had been royally entertained.
