MEN WON THE SPELLING BEE.
Four of Them Standing When Last
Woman Went Down.
In an old-fashioned spelling bee held at the First Baptist church, Independence, last night, the men beat the women of the congregation. Four of them were standing when the last of the fair sex, who comprised the opposing side, went down to defeat.
One hundred participated in the event, fifty women on one side and fifty men on the other. At first the men went down in an alarming manner, but later they took a brace and finally succeeded in coming out victorious.
