WANTED TO Apologize.

There are two handsome young trav-
cling men who make Wichita and the
southwest Twice year both OF them
meet at a given point in order to nave
what they call "a time" Last summer
they had their time i'm Wichita and both
of them were arrested ana compelled to
jointly pay into the city'fune s35. They
felt sore about getting arrested and
having to pay what they thought was an
exorbitant fine. To one Of the city de-
tectives on every occasion they would
say: You treated us wrong. You are
too high-p-iced." Only q week oy so ago
the two met in Guthrie for their semi
annual time" Once more they we-e
errested, and this time tney were fined
s75 by the police Judge Of Guthrie. One
stopped in Wichita Friday. and, meet
ing the detective whom they had 90 fre-
quertly complained to, said: I'VE owe
You an apology. We have been sore on
yeu fellows for long time for arrest
ing us last summer, but nov we want to
apologize. We didn't appreciate a good
thing. We got ii here for s35 and lots
OF fun; We got * in Guthrie for SIS and
no fun. In the future We will take the
s35 rate If you will accept our apology"

WILL HE MOVE HERE?

The politicians are now anxious to
know whether Judge Samuel Peters or
Newton will move to Wichita as son as
the new federal court is established.
Some say he will. while others say ne
will not Peters will certainly be judge.
The reason for this cinch is that years
ago when the same federal district was
proposed ne was slated for the place.

thirty had more than ten. The stores
were crowded from morning until night

NIrNRER OF PHONE CALLS.

Manager Duggan Of the telephone ex-

One ot the most interesting facts Is the
number OF calls that come into the office.
Each operator keeps record Of the num-
Der OF calls made to a section Of the
switch board each day for six days. The
fist day there were 5000 calls in the
first twelve hours. and perhaps thou
sand during the night. Taking the mat
ter up some interesting results can be
figured out. II ali the calls made over

ARE THEY PROSPEROUS?

foreclosed on a chartel mortgage. The
sale of goods this week was to be held
on a farm west OF town. When he got
there, he found an army Of farmers pre-
barring 10 bid Some one tod him that
ne would have 10 give time for payment,
SO ne got up and explained that he
would give purchasers money az 10 per
cent for three months on approved Sc
curity. The debt was for $724 and he
began to auction the goods off. Every
thing went high and in a few minutes
the debt was satisfied. The farmers
wanted more goods put up and grumbled.
o; course this was impossible. And Of
all the men who purchased only one boy
.rowed money to do it. The money-ioan-

are loaded down with money q strictly
