The Howard Mercantile have an immense line of clothing which they can and will sell cheaper than can be bought any where in Elk county.

It is generally impossible to make out tho official postmark, in these days of postal 'reform. There comes to us this week a new Labor reform paper from away off in Ole Virginny, American Hampton, Va. It Is filled clear out to the chases with mighty good reading. It wasn't the substance of what you said as to Sunday papers, Bro. Davis, but the irreverent, undevout way in which you refercd to some of "us holy elect" that lacerated Rev.

Young Ladlea' Leap Year Ball. We said in our last issue we would give a mere extended notice of the Leap Year Ball, given by the young ladies of Howard. Those present frjra a distance. were: Miss Ella Baker of Wichita, Mrs. Gus Baldwin of Valley Center, Kiss Edith Dennis of Grenola, Miss Fannie Cross of Moliuc, and Miss Jennie Murphy of Elk Falls.

We have not space mention Howard's fairest daughters, but they were all thero. It was the most joyous, festive, pleasant, social bop we have had the pleasure of participating in for years. The music was superb, and after each set of the merry dancers, the Howard band, famed for its line music enlivened tho occasion. It was one of the most select parties ever given in Howard, and the remarkably good taste and common sense displayed by tho young people in making no distinction between the industrious good girl and her more favored sister, won. our ndmiration and created a more favorable imprecision with us than anything else coijld have done.

There was no such thing as caste or class on this festive occasion, and the morale was made up of the most worthy," brightest and loveliest daughters of this country, and what seemed strange to us Was the entire absence of the snag-teeth old maids with the dieaway look (chalked for tie occasion), and the false-toothed mother tenderly caring for her Samanthajane for fear she might be led astray by some one not worthy of her poor, young, innocent and artful girl. Tho young lady with the canary or parrot was absent, and the young lady with the gold glasses, poodles or rat terriers, who wero just DE-lightcd with tho dog, be cause he "looked so much like Harry," vaa not thero, The upper crust tho codfish aristocracy whose papa got a start by selling liquor or peddling ta bic linon, were somewhere else. "This class never refer to bow papaw got his start. If we had known of any other entertainment we should have felt certain they were there, as this class are all marriagable if pa and ma don't object, and they wero nc er known to object. When You Size lp Mankind.

1 hen you come to size mankind up in all de detaiU the result am sumtbin' to make you feel said Brother Gardner as the mooting was called to order. In my time I has known a poet whoso varsos brought tears to my eyes an' made de heart bulge out, an' vet dat poet left de snow on his sidewalk fcr de public to wade frew, and sot cross-legged on de street kyar an spit terbackcr all oner de floor I has known a philanthropist to send off his check to an orfan asj lum an' to send coal an' flour to de sarviu but destitoot fain lies, an on dat same (lay day ho would give Lis man twelve cents for a shillin', an' charged do hired gal for breaking a teacup. I has known a statesman whoso in fluence could make or unmake a party whoso speeches war' read and re readwhose dignity in public was dat of an iceberg I has known such a man to climb up on de alley fence an' wrangle wid an ash peddler who has taken two bushels nnd a half of ashes and wanted to pay fur only two bushels. I hev read the writin's of an auth or who seemed to feel a sympathy for the hull world, an' yet I see dat same pusson threaten de arrest of a seven-y'ar ole boy on de street who axed bim for alms. I hev read de writin's of a man who claimed to sit on de pedestal of complacency an' look down upon de turmoils of the world widout a shade of annoyance.

I hev met dat same pusson in do alley at night wid a lighted candle in hand to look for a nickel whicL. his chile lost, an', de way he took on about dat trifle was 'nuf to bust de biler of a twenty-boss power engine. Wc am all hypocrites. We am all two sided. We hev got one face fer de public, an' anodcr fer private life.
