her brother committed suicide, her father drowned himself, and her mother has to wash for a living. I would almost be tempted to do so myself under the circurnstances. More startling news. Two young men scientists, namely, Professors Richard Hurst and Paul Montgomery have discovered a new substance in the region of the sun. It is thought that the substance will be named in their honor. At present it is called Hurst-Gomeryf' Iieres the best yet. It saysg Lester Snyder,a pronnnent young'farnr er of this vicnnty, has for the third thne entered into the IIoly I3onds of Matrimony. Well, well, I suppose Margaret Dock and Thelma Taggart proved to be too much for him. Iloxv astonishing, I can hardly beheve niy oxvn eyes, but yet the paper tells it in plain black and white. It reads: Mrs. Helen Rendel, formerly Miss Helen Hurst, of this city has applied for a divorce from her husband, VValter Rendel, with whom she was united in marriage on June 6, 1926. She alleges cruel and inhuman treatment, failure to provide and desertion. She further alleges that oftentimes in a fit of rage, he would come at her with a stick of stove wood, threatening to hit her. Mrs. Rendel is asking the cus- tody of their six children, and 310,000 alimony. I can scarcely reahze that NNQdter could have niade such a change, be- cause I remember how devoted they always seemed to each other, while they were still in school together, What do you know? Ross Griffith has gone out of the barber business, and is now out on the farm engaged in feeding razor-back hogs. How interesting, the circus is coming to town. It mentions the fattest woman in the world. Can it be? Yes it is, the same Ruth Stoffer that graduated n11926. It says that she has gained 4 pounds every day untH she now weighs 420 pounds. My, my, she could scarcely be recognized as the same girl. More good news. The paper says that Robert Bowman and Alvia Greer are much interested in the farm extension work, and that they are now locat- ed on a farm near the city, engaged in raising umbrellas. Iiomfvery unfortunate! 'Phe paper says that NHctor Fouts,fan1ousjig- dancer, is suffering from a sprained ankle as a result of his dancing the other night. Mr. Fouts was unable to tell exactly how it happened, but the spec- tators thought that he got up a little extra speed and as a result got his feet tangled,xvhich caused hinito faH violently to the Hoor. 'The audience xvas quite alarmed at the time, but was soon relieved from all suspense, when the physician said that the accident was nothing serious. It is thought that Mr. Fouts will be able to resume his dancing within a few days. This certainly is wonderful, all the seniors of 1926 are mentioned in the paper. It is better than gold to know what they are all doing. Can it be so late? The striking of the clock, caused me to realizeithe fact that I had sat up much later than I had intended. So with my mind fuH of1Heasant1nenunies,I redred to dreani once agaui of happy school days. -Ruth Miller Turnipseed.
