/ The Alliance caucus at Washington has

The hackneyed metaphor designating
the Alliance vote in 80 as an avalanche is
not good. Avalanches as a rule do not
slide back up hill to their old places.
The only statement that ex-senator In
gals has not felt called upon to deny for
some time is the magazine advertisement
which announces Ethel ingalls, as the
daughter of a famous man.
Farmer Smiths boom for governor has

is still alive and fourishing however. and
the temporary suspension of boom talk
for him in the Topeka hotel corridors and

airy.
The third party is held up as farce in

find eight men who said they would only

Buffalo Jones has sold a batch of his

Truth saysi A small herd of ten buffaloes
were landed at Liverpool on Saturday.
They were consigned to Mr.. S. G. Leland,

Haggerston Castle, in Northumberland,
from buffalo farmer in Nebraska Each

1t is cold fact without the least touch
of fiction about it that the friends of a
Wichita man made up purse to send him
to the Kelley institute at Leavenworth.
He took the money and left among the
God-speeds and good wishes of the con-
tributors. Three days afterward news
reached town that he had stopped off at
Topeka, had spent every cent he had and
was in the horrors of bad attack of the
delirium tremens. A second purse has
been made up and he will be accompanied
by trustworthy guard next trip.
Ed Howe, with that humor peculiar to
him, has started the question "What is
LoveY" in Atchison. Love" writes one
woman to him sis smile today, and
tear tomorrow, and the tomorrow is
always longer than today" ANY good
definition of money" writes a man, sis a
good definition of love-" This is love-"
comes to him in a woman's handwriting
and under the words she had drawn the
imprint of a baby's hand. Love-" writes
some one in the angular handwriting of an
old maid, sis sugar-coated pill" Another
letter written in mans rollicking hand
writing, says that 'love is the feeling
man has for woman who believes IN
letting him have his own way.
There is controversy in the newspapers
as to whether the man who took the So 900
from Beale was thief-that is, whether
his act of receiving the cash in exchange

a bottle of beer from raw Englishman
who had set up in the grocery business in
this country. The customer took the beer
and started out with it, then changed his
mind and said he would take pretzels in
stead. He then walked away with the
pretzels, when the groceryman reminded
him that he had not paid for the pretzels
But" argued the man, Il gave you the
beer for the pretzels."
Eyes" said the merchant, "but you
didn't pay for the beer"
''Of course 1 didn't" said the wsg. 81

1t was windy, dusty day and the Eng
lishman, in tow of real estate dealer, was
a pitiable sight. His eyes were full of dust;
his ears ladened and the sand was gritting
on his teeth. He had just returned from
Il squirt after his hat that had sailed off in
a sudden gust. He was mad. 81 do not
like your blasted country" he said.
The Kansas real estate man looked sur
prised.
Il have been here two months"
The real estate man nodded.
Seven weeks of that time, have spent
in chasing my hat"
The real estate man raised his eyebrows.
us it always this way, sir?"
81 don't presume to tell you Englishmen
said the real estate dealer, care
