Emporia lawyers are fast becoming
race horse men. Ike Lambert may not
own any race animals now, but his
taste for fast horses tends in that
direction. Ditto Ed. Waterbury who
sports stylish turnout which may be
seen on the streets every afternoon.
Ed. looks elegant as he sits bolt up
right behind the little mare
There are no winged insects in
his immediate vicinity then. Those
that would approach him, stop at re-
spectful distance and bow down in
worship. Frank Owens and Bill Ran
dolph are both owners of race horses,
and are very enthusiastic admirers
fast animals. 1t is nip and tuck be
tween them as to which of them can
rattle off the longest pedigree in horse

A man well known about town got a
Jag on few evenings ago, and
while under the influence strolled into
the Free Methodist revival on South
Commercial street. When the contri-
button box was passed around he sat
perfectly still in his seat giving moth
ing. When it had been set down near
the pulpit, the aforesaid man with the
Jag stood up and taking crisp, new
FIVE dollar bill from his pocket folded it
lengthwise and placing it between his
fingers. held it on line with his nose
and straight in front of him. Steady
ing himself in the aisle, and fastening
his eyes on the bill, he marched with
tolerable steadiness straight to the pull
pit, all the while holding the bill at
arms length in front of him. Depos-
iting it in the contribution box, he
turned, and with every eye in the house
fixed on him, marched down the aisle
and out of the church.
