It Is the proper thing at the begin
ming of Lent to moralize. 1 cannot
combine duty with pleasure any better
in this respect than by remarking
that now we cannot dance we put an
extraordinary quantity of money into
ladies' luncheons.
How does it strike you TO be told that
one Thousand dollars is not an unusual
sum to be lavished on the flowers at a
simple little feminine gathering?
What can they possibly find TO buy
with it?" asked little mouse from Can
ada as she held up her fur-mittened
hands in innocent surprise at the imfor-
nation
Here is what they did buy with it on
3 recent occasion: Seven tables, each
laid for seven guests, were decked each
with seven satin pals. Each pail was
filed with roses and from It ran q
broad satin ribbon to the middle of the
board. where stood big satin basket
from which Rises and hlacs overaowed.
Lilacs were heaped in every available
spot on the cloth in great clusters.
Yes, ilacs; for already. in the fash
ionable imagination at least, it is
spring, and the May time shows tirnid-

in the shop windows.
At the luncheon aforesaid there were
lavender gowns and punches of
violets on straw bonnets. A costume
which interested every woman who
looked at it WAS made of a male mr.

WICHITA'A GATLIN GOVERNOR.

He who dances must pay the fiddler,
So the story goes,
But now that the racquet dance at Topeka
Is drawing to close,
1t looks Us tho the poor old state
Must go down into her pocket;
Tho she has not danced, she's watched the
farce
With an eye half out of socket.
She sees herself the nations clown,
The toy of mans caprice,
On holding the eyes of the civilized world,
She certainly has Lease;
The streets of Topeka go quite mad
When the Gov. calls out the militia,
The sheriff swears in a thousand men
In case of another issue
Old soldiers grip their rusty guns,
Shifting afar the battle,
Wichita sends her gattling gun,
But somebody steals its CATTLE.
BEHOLD the women and wrought up men!
If 1t makes such rare commOtion
To find who'll make the laws, think
'Twould be first-rate notion
To pass law 'gainst making laws;
1t drains the state to make them,
And officers paid to see them enforced
Wink while people break them"
A moment ago heard some pigs,
Squealing for all that's out.
I've racked my brain, but can't think what
They have TO squeal about.
Perhaps l shouldent have spoken of this,
When the gap up there is healing,
But then higher in Kansas than ever before
Where was the sense in squealing.

on every hand. compelling them to post

times. But here the EAGLE wishes 70
stale that it has been entirely unavoidable
on the part of the club AS the play has
been in readiness for some time. The Sec
retary, Mr.. Sherman Skinner, telegraphed
Saturday night for date, and requested
that they be granted Tuesday evening,
Feb. 81, which in all probability will be
the night when the performance will be
given. An article will appear in Tues
days issue confirming this date, and
should there be any change due notice
will be given to their friends holding
tickets.
We desire to explain to the public the
reasons for the postponement of the play,
as some may not fully realize just what
they have had to contend with. Feb.
was the first date advertised for the pro-
duction of the play, and up to this time
each and every member of the club worked
faithfully day and night, which resulted
toward the last in having the rehearsals
pass off without flaw, and when the day
finally rolled around all preparations were
made and every thing was in readiness.

to be against them, for at l
o'clock p. m. on the day

of the play, Mr.. Eckstein was taken sud-

again put short stop to all plans, and
when company A, Kansas National
guards, marched proudly down the street
on their way to the capital, a hack was
seen slowly following the procession and
when it arrived at the depot it was seen
to be occupied by four members of the

also members of the cast of Merchant of
