An Accepted Joke.

He knelt at her feet, declaring his pas
sionate love.
For months he had anticipated this mo-
ment with confidence, but now, as he
gazed into her gazellelike eyes, their dis
tant fairness chilled his very soul.
True, too true, had been the taunts and
sneers of his companions! How could he,
poor, unknown and without even the time
honored prospects that belong to all
penniless suitors, ever expect to win the
hand of this accomplished heiress, Cora
line Van Rembrandt?
Could it be as they had saidP That she
but drew him On in order to revel in the
death throes of his tortured love? Nay, by
heaven, it should not bel But stayl She
was about to speak With set face and
clenched hands he awaited his doom.
Mr. QuiIler''-tho silvery accents of her
dulcet tones struck strangely on his ear
''you speak to me of love. Know you not
that love is but q game of chance?"
A metallic CLEAN glittered in his steel
gray eyes as he made his last stand. With
out second hesitation he replied, with
strange emphasis:
1t is true, my darling, but with you
as the stake it is game of fair-o."
A suspense of but breath, and then,
as he wrapped her in his manly arms, the
stiffness of the night heard him murmur,
"And I'm sure winner on the queenP'
Three hours later, as he descended the
marble steps of hcr palatial home and
turned toward his humble garrett, he NUT
tered, And to think that sent that joke
to % different papers and would have sold
it for so cents r'-Truth.

READY TO CONTRIBUTE.
Samuel Sproat VIII Give Money for the
Fall Festival.

81 am ready to head the contribution for
the Festival next fall with good large
sum- said Samuel Sproat of the Model
Supply store to JOURNAL reporter 81
am earnestly in favor of the Festival
and am ready to show that 1 am in a
substantial manner.
The festival will bring business men
here from ali over the state and it means
a great deal to US. There is not a man
in business in Topeka who will not be
benefited by the Festival in direct way.
81 see no reason why something of the
kind will not succeed in Topeka as we'll
as in other cities. There is plenty OF
enterprise here and something of the
kind is required to bring it out. There
is not a single reason why the Festival
should not be a success and am ready to
lend it my support"
