WEE NEE CLUB GIVES
BRILLIANT FUNCTION.
I
DANCED ALL NIGHT TILL BROAD
DAYLIGHT, WENT HOME WITH
THE GIRLS IN THE MORNING.
Friday night the Wee Nee club
gave an Easter dance at the Kel- j
v lahan Hotel, which will go down as
one of the most memorable events in |
the annals of Kingstree society. To
the soul-inspiring strains of a sue-!
cession of waltzes and two-steps
played by the orchestra of the First
^ Artillery band of Charleston, than
wnicn mere isnu ucwlcx m uic uwum,
the hours glided by, no one realizing
how fast, until roseate dawn proclaimed
the new-born day. and even
then it was with lingering regret
that the crowd dispersed.
At 12:30 a. m. dainty refreshments
were served.
Special thanks are due the First
Artillery orchestra for the part they
played in the success of the occasion.
They showed their appreciation of
the hospitality extended them by the
club by continuing to play two and
a half hours longer than their engagement
called for,and they played
as no other band can play, cheerfully
responding to repeated encores.
The following were in attendance:

BOON'S LICK ROAD.
The Famous Highway Was the Father
of the Santa Fe Trail.
The most famous highway in the
central west was the Boon's Lick
road. Surveyed in 1815 from St.
Charles, twenty-five miles west of
St. Louis, to Old Franklin, Mo., 150
miles farther west, it turned immigration
toward central Missouri
and six years later brought Missouri
into the Union as a state.
It was the road that made Missouri,
says the World Today. It
was the father of the Santa Fe
trail, which, extending west from
Old Franklin, brought commerce
and immigration to Kansas, Colorado
and New Mexico. The making
of roads means the building of commonwealths.
The Boon's Lick road

ten example.
In 1804 two sons of Daniel
Boone, the great pioneer of the
west, Daniel and Nathan Boone,
made salt at salt springs found in
central Missouri. The country was
then a wilderness. The Boones and
their companions were the only
white men in the territory west of
St. Charles. They boiled the spring
water in huge iron kettles, and the
crude salt which formed the residue
they floated in hollow logs down the
Missouri river to be sold at the
French village of St. Louis.
Deer had come to the salt springs
to lick the 6alt. The place in western
pioneer slang was a "lick" and
because the Boones there manufactured
salt the locality was named
Boon's Lick. The Boones 6pelled
their name indifferently with op
without the final "e."
"fwo years later a settlement of
English speaking rflen and women
was made near Boon's Lick, and
shortly afterward the town of Old
Franklin, twelve miles distant, upon
the Missouri river, was founded.
Then arose the necessity for a highway
between Old Franklin and St
Louis and St Charles, the large cities
of the new west, each with several
thousand inhabitants. The
Boon's Lick road was the result.
It was not much of a road as
poads go now. It was not macadamized
or paved or graveled. Indeed,
it was little better in its early
days than a mere "trace" or hint of
the road's direction.
The two Boones, with surveying
parties, ran a line that followed the
ridge or watershed between the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
Jhe ? miller streams were forded.
Un tne large rivers were primitive
ferryboats, hollow log canoes locked
together. There were no bridges.
The signposts were the blazes or
marks cut in the forest trees along
the roadway. The road machinery
consisted of a rifle, an ax and a
grubbing hoe.
Waiter's Idiosyncrasy.
"If madame would like 8 special
dish that is especially good I would
recommend venison stew with
noodles/' said the waiter.
Madame said very well, she would
try venison stew with noodles.
"Why," said the man, "you hate
noodles."
"I know," she sighed, "but I
would rather eat something I hate
than to make that waiter hate me.
I expect to eat here again, often.
Maybe*he will wait on me. I can't
afford to make him hate me. But
he would hate me if I should decline
venison stew with noodles.
That is the way of waiters. They
always hate people who refuse dishes
they recommend, and every
chance they get they take revenge."

Statesmen In Their Cups.
The deep drinking which was a
social custom in the time of the
younger Pitt had its influence occasionally
on the minister, whose
habit it was to indulge liberally with
his friends when free from the occupations
of state. An epigram of
the time gave the following dialogue
between Pitt and his colleague
and boon companion, Henry
Dundas, afterward Viscount Melville:
Pitt?I cannot see the speaker,
Hal. Can you?
Dundas?Not see the speaker,
Billy ? I see two! ?"Anecdotal History

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Charleston Child Falls Two Stories

Falling from a second story piazza :

little girls in Charleston.
At any rate, the case is unique in
medical annals,according to the phycian
who attended the little girl after
the fall,
The little girl was playing on the
up-stairs piazza at about 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and it is supposed
that she must have climbed
upon the railing. Suddenly there
was a cry and the horrified mother
saw the body of her little one go
hurtling through the air and strike
the paved ground.
Several people rushed to the scene
of what was thought to be the tragedy,
and they picked up the limp
form of the little girl. The child had
landed on her head, her neck had
been bent, and to the layman's eyes

it appeared tnat sne naa iractureu
her skull. A physician was called
and he responded at once. He
straightenedl.'the little one's spine,
fixed her neck and applied hot bottles
to her body.
Then for about two hours the little
girl was left entirely alone,and no
other methods of treatment were
used. Care and patience were rewarded
when she opened her eyes
and lisped a question. The physician
then left the house, and on his return,
about two hours later, found
the little girl sitting up in bed playing
merrily with her toys and seemingly
none the worse for the accident
with the exception of a few
trivial bruises. A second examination
was made and it is believed that in
spite of the accident the child will
be perfectly normal, both physically
and mentally.?News ? Courier, 1

I A Nursery
Is one of the easiest rooms to make pretty, and one
of the most important.
The dainty whiteness makes for that cleanliness
which is the first and greatest requisite for a. baby's
health. Besides, prettiness is the only lit surrounding
for any child.
You need a chiffonier and bureau in white enamel (perhapa
we can show you how to do over your present pieces) a
good brass or iron crib with sides high enough to keep baby
from falling, a rocking chair, straight back chair and small
table, also in white. These with a pretty rug, dainty wall
paper, and muslin curtains, complete the room.
Be careful to get a STEARNS k FOSTER
mattress, for it is the best. To a child, good sleep
means good health, a sturdy body, a fresh, retentive
mind. Even nervousness is often due to-lack of
-
really sound sleep. Get a STEARNS k FOSTER
for the crib to-day. If after 60 nights' trial you are
not entirely satisfied, we will give you your money Jta
back without a word.?$3.45 to $11.25.
