THE COTERIE’S GUEST DAY.
St. Valentine day and guest
day were intertwined into a most
charming afternoon Thursday
when Mrs. W. A. Billingsley
threw open her hospitable home
to the members of the Musical
Coterie that they might invite
their friends to enjoy a well ren
dered program. The cold weather
did not chill the interest of the
many invited guests who re
sponded most heartily.
The hostess spared no care in
arranging for the comfort of the
large crowd present. TheKnabe
was placed at the folding doors
-of the front parlor and chairs
so arranged that all present faced
the performers.
A beautifully arranged table
was presided over by Misses Lucy
Brandenburg, Carrie Stevens^ and
Noreene Kinman, who served
hot chocolate, tea, sand tarts
and wafers, adding a most en
joyable feature.
The regular order of business
was suspended with exception of
roll call, to which all members
responded with most beautifully
chosen quotations appropriate to
the day. In fact, the reporter
n04ds must reach for his inkhorn
and quill and reach still further
intb the sea of thought richly
studded with tempting superla
tives to do, justice to this, suc.r
cessfui -afternoon of music and^j
social pleasures, at which time-;

afternoon in her accustomed
genial manner, two invited
guests, Mesdames C. H. Wilmans
and B. M. Crow, sharing in the
pleasures that invitations to the
home of the hostess mean.
The refreshments were most
delicious and consisted of chicken
salad, crackers, deviled crabs,
pickles, cake, sultana roll, coffee
and cheese.
SHERLOCK HOLMES AGAIN.
A New Series of Detective Sto
ries in the Kansas City Star.
Conan Doyle’s detective sto
ries, with the marvelous Sher
lock Holmes as their hero, have
achieved the greatest success of
recent years. Appreciating this
fact, the publisher of Collier’s
Weekly, New York, induced Mr.
Doyle to write a final series of
the great detective’s adventures.
Repeated refusals were followed
by increased inducements, and
finally Mr. Doyle agreed to write
thirteen stories for $45,000, or
about 60 cents a word. The en
tire correspondence was by ca
ble.
The amount paid by Collier’s is
the largest ever paid for such
work and does not include the
right to publish the stories in
book form. By special arrange
ment with Collier’s these famous
stories? are beincr printed in the
Kansas City Star, one story each
week, beginning in the daily
edition of Saturday, February 11,
and in the weekly Wednesday,
February 15.
None of the present popular
features of the Star will be cut
down or omitted to make room
for this remarkable set of stories.
Practically the contents of a $1.50
book will be added to the con
tents of the Star in three months
without any increase of the sub
scription price, 10 cents a week
for the daily Star, (morning,
evening and Sunday, 13 complete
papers a week) and 25 cents a
year for the weekly Star.

Heart
Weakness.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure has
made many hearts well after
they have been pronounced
hopeless. It has completely
cured thousands, and will al
most invariably cure or benefit
every case of heart disease.
Short breath, pain around
heart, palpitation, fluttering,
dizzy, fainting and smothering
spells should not be neglected.
Take Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
and see how quick you will
be relieved. ’
It cannot make a new heart,
but will restore a sick one by
strengthening the heart nerves
and muscles, relieving the
unnatural strain, and restoring
its vitality.
"I had a very bad case of heart
trouble. For six months I could not
work. Last July I was plowing corn
and feeling bad all day; in the after
noon In plowing one row I had to lay
down, or fall down, three times. My
heart throbbed as though it would
burst through, and I had difficulty in
getting my breath. I purchased a
bottle of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure, and
before I had used half of it I could
lay down and sleep all night. Previ
ously 1 had to get up from five to ten
times a night. I have taken several
bottles, and my heart is as regular as
clock work. X feel like a new man,
and can work considerable for an old
man, 84% years old.”
H. D. McGILL, Frost, Ohio.
