A STUPID LOVER.
THE LITTLE SCHOOL MISTRESS AND
HER SIMPLE MINDED LOVER.
A Summer Love story.


School is dismissed said Annie
Mills, and the ten or twelve little coun-
try children that were her charge walk
ed decorously TO the door and then
escaped whooping and jumping into the
open air.
Annie changed as quickly from the
dignifed young teacher to the childish
g4r., and took little mirror out of her
desk and prinked and pulled at her
eprls as the first Joy Of liberty. Then
down to the big beech tree by the brook
to eat it. This was the way her thoughts
were running.
Il wish l knew real hero, one like
happens here Everybody is Just the
same. When I got married, if 1 ever did,
Ia want TO marry some one who was
brave and grand and did something
people. He's very nice, he's so big and
strong and kind, but the thoughts
grew more confused and contradictory
After this you will not be surprised to
learn that VIII Harvey came TO the
beech tree ALMOST as soon as Annie did,
and that she was quite surprised to see
him.
'..Pll give you some of my lunch" she
from the plough who was sacrificing most
of his dinner hour for her society.
Il don't want your lunch, Annie, 1
want you-tnere It's out, you know, I've
been wanting to tell you,'' he reached
timidly to take her hand, but just then
she found it necessary to drop down and
peer anxiously into her basket.
Harvey sat down beside her and
begged her to try to love him: he loved
her so much; he'd be SO good to her; he
didn't want to live if-but she did care
for him little. didn't she? Annie drew
invisible patterns with her finger on the
Old beech roots and kept her eyes on that
important industry,

last N very small voice; then with
ghost of a laugh, yes, do, too; don't

girl, and I don't mean to be a coquette
and a fiirt, but that's just what 1 would
be if 1 behaved the way 1 want to-
With this she flashed on him for an in
slant her beautiful brown eyes; they
were both merry and troubled.
But in the end. at last you'd love me,
too, wouldn't you, Annie?
Il don't know: L don't want to give
you my answer.
But I nave to have an answer" Will
spoke in new tone, his deep voice vi
brating. Il can't go on this way. Annie.
You know today as well as any other
day whether you have just been playing
with me or not. I shan't blame you; l
shan't call you hard names, but 1 must

LINooLN's GINGERBREAD MEN.
Gave Two Out of Three to Boy
Poorer Than Himself.


Poorer Than Himself.
An old southern politician tells the
following: When Lincoln first came to
Washington [ went to see him, so pre-
JUDGED against him beforehand that no
man with less genius could have over
come it. I left the first interview. his
friend. No man ever came under the
charm of Lincoln's personality without
respecting him, and, if permitted, low
ing him. One day, after we had be-
come fairly good friends, L told him of
my early prejudice.
Mr.. Lincoln" said I, "I had heard
every mean thing ABOUT you except
one. I never heard that you were too
fond of the pleasures of life" Mr..
Lincoln sat for moment stroking
his cheek thoughtful1y and then he
drawled out, in his peculiar western
voice:
THAT reminds me of something
boy once said to me when I was about
10 years old. Once in a while my mot h
er used to get some sorghum and some
ginger and mix us UP a batch of Gin
gerbread- 1t wasn't often, and it was
our biggest treat. One day 7 smelled it
and came into the house to get my
share while it was hot I found she
had baked me three gingerbread men.
and 1 took them out under a hickory
tree to eat them. There was family
near US that was a little poorer than
we were, and their boy came along as
I sat down.
Abe he said, edging close, gimme
a man. I gave him one. He crammed
1t into his mouth at two bites, and
looked at me while I bit the legs from
my first one. "Abe.'' he said. "gimme
that othern. I wanted it, but I gave it
to him, and as it followed the first one,
l said: you seem to like ginger
bread?"
abe he said, earnestly, "I don't
s'pose there's anybody on this earth
likes gingerbread as well as do" and.

ing combination lately seen at the races.
Another gown, and which is here shown,
was made of sapphire blue batiste, also
over white silk. a novel feature of this
costume was a narrow apron of un-
bleached linen embroidery in the skirt.
Points of the same ornamented gracefully
the bust of the bodice, which surplced in
to give the waist very small effect.
The sleeves, fullish at the top, grew very
tight at the elbow, where they stopped
and wrapped, and tied about the arm
in a way charming to see. A tiny bonnet
consisting of q crown of blue corn flow
ers was worn with this toilet.
Many of the race gowns seen so far
are of the most delicate summer silks, in
stripes pin checks and shot effects. These
with rich lace applications over back or
a contrasting color are most effective.

WHITE TOILETS.

This season white is much seen at the
French races, and combinations Of black
and white are regarded as extremely ele-
giant. Again a black and white striped
silk will show a color in the trimming,
apple green or violine perhaps under white
guipure or all over linen embroidery. A
charming model gown Of white wool can
vas sent over to an American buyer had

recognized by the novel plating at the
top of the gigot sleeves. Gowns of this
same white canvas and other white frockS
of a loose, grainy weave called granite
cloth, are much worn during the hot
days at Sheepshead Bay, and are very
handsome with plain stitchings. The bod
ice is usually the round baby model so
liked by the French, or perhaps there
are bascues under the inevitable narrow
kid belt, without which no gown seems
entirely perfect nowadays.

stopped suddenly and shut his mouth

Harvey made no answer except to nod
his head. then he got up, stopped over
swiftly and kissed the top of her head
and was gone. Annie with the part of
her hand felt the kissed place meditative-
ly as If she expected to find it changed
by this novel experience: Her face was
very serious. 1t was little lunch she ate
and then she went back to the school
house g quarter of an hour before time
to ring the bell.
The school house was on a hill and it
looked far down a white road that went
on by the field Harvey was blowing and
then up hill again past the house that
was his home. Annie stood in the door
and looked at the scene and thought. That
masterful way in which Harvey had de-
manded his answer had done something
ever to give him up, but then what was
there about Will Harvey to make him a
rival in her heart of Lord Montmorency
and Edgar Allingham, the heroes of her
faVorite novels? T be sure his
blue eyes grew wonderfully bright and
soft when he was talking to her-she
put up her hand again to the top of her
pretty dark head.

looked at the little man trudging along
far off upon the dusty road. Then her
heart stood still, a great cloud of dust
sprang up in front of the Harvey house
and with it came into sight pair of
runaway horses, dragging the remains of
wagon behind them. In an instant they
would be on Tommy and Tommy, such

AS it was his pet lion Nero was killed
and Fitzsimmons was severely shocked
and quite seriously burned
On account of the extremely warm
weather the lion was yesterday taken
to the roof of Rumsey's gymnasium on
Erie street where he was chained up.
Shortly after midnight last night,
Fitzsimmons, accompanied by Ernest
Roeber, the wrestler, and Lewis Rob
ertson, an attache of the gymnasium,
went upon the roof to see the animal.
on reaching the roof Fitzsimmons
called to the lion which, upon hearing
his masters voice, sprang forward to
the length of the chain and over some
electric light wires. A shower Of
sparks quickly followed at the contact
of the chain with the wires. The lion
received a shock and again jumped to-
wards Fitz, who sprang back against
the wall of an adjoining building. The
lion sprang past him, drawing the
chain taught across the pugilists
thighs, who cringed under the severe
shock. In his agony the lion leaped
over the edge Of the roof and hung by
the neck. Fitz pulled from under the
chain and was removed to his hotel
There is a burn across his thighs and

ordeal. although Fitzsimmons was in
a dazed condition for over an hour.
When the lion was pulled up from the
side of the building where he had been
suspended he was dead.

MILITARY BOARDS WORK.
New Companies Ordered-No Militia
Encampment This Year.

BY a unanimous vote the state mil
itary board has decided TO give TOpe-
l1a a company in the Third regiment,
X N. G. This was in answer to the
petition circulated so freely in this city
asking the board to make room for a
Topeka company
Cottonwood Falls and Garden City
were also admitted into the guard,
both companies being in the Second
regiment. The application from Gre
nOla was refused and that of Arkansas
City laid on the shelf until the next
meeting of the board.
The stand taken by Auditor Cole in
regard to the proper expenditure of the
K n. G. appropriation kept the mill
tary board from deciding in favor Of
an encampment at Topeka. 1t is be-
ueved the members of the board did
not care to take the responsibility of
acting in the matter when their act
ion was liable to be questioned.
Lieutenant II. A. Smith who has been
on the governors staff for some time
has been promoted to rank as a col
