What would you do if war should be
declared tomorrow with a European
power? Row would it chance your
home life, the lives of your brother
and other relatives? H w would it
effect vnur bn-ine-s connections and
business? What changes would it
make in financial, city, state and na-
tional affairs? It is these interesting
problems which a writer in the De-
cember Cosmopolitan has undertaken
to sketch under the heading of "A
Brief History of O.ir Lite War With
Spain,'' at the -*me time vividly des-
cribed the exciting scenes which
would attend the opening of hostili-

Chandler News: A little over a
year ago J. C. Fletcher and O. B. Kee
with some friends visited an icecream
parlor in Chandler and informed the
proprietor that they had bet the ice
cream and wished to eat it then and
as soon as the bet was decided the
loser would pay the bill. That was
alright and they partook of the cool-
ing refreshments after which the
proprietor ask what the bet was and
when it would he decided. Kee ex-
plained that he had bet that the spire
on the Mtfth'xl -t churcii would fall
south and Fletcher bet it would fall
north and that the bet would be de
decided when the -pire tell. In the
course of time the cyclone came along
and the whole building went north,
and now Fletcher insists that Kee
should hunt up that ice cream man
and pay the b'll.
