goods store in Kansas City to seize Mrs. Leases
baggage for debt, it was n,ither decent nor
lawful for the agents of the law to open her
satchel and display its co ltents to the public
gaze.
1t was an insult to wo nan that would
scarcely be committed anywhere else exccnt in
Kansas City, where the pc ople take, read ard
enjoy such papers as the Sunday Sun The
Kansas City reporter with the ndecency that
characterizes much of the newspaper work
there as well as everything else, related in de-
tail the name aud character of Mrs. Leases
toilet articles, and even went so far as to name
the undergarnents found in the satchel,
There was no cause for such deprave rude
ness or vulgarity. 1t was an insult to woman
kind which every woman and every manly man
will resent.--Topeka State Journal.
Mrs. Lease fully explained this matter by
stating that she had instructed her secretary to
pay the bill, and supposed he had done so.
Garrett has one paper on level with the
Kansas City sheets that tried to bettle Mrs.
Lease by giving publicity to the contents of
her grips" She settled the bill in full.

BY DOROTHY DOLlTTLE

Mine is no lordly castle
Built on riches golden height,
Whose parapet and towers
O'ersbadows life's sweet hours,
With vain pride's !unhallowed light.
No despot rules its borders,
With the stern commands of hate;
No laws demand obedience
For all show loves allegiance
To the monarch at the gate.
Brave knights, with your ladies fair;
Kind friends, who loves homage bring,
Uplift the flowing wassail;
My home it is my castle,
And my love-h- is the king.
