Old Settlers, Picnic

Yesterday the old settlers of Topeka
held their annual picnic at Garfield
park and related recollections of early
days in Kansas. There were nearly
100 present, among whom were several
young people. In the afternoon the
picnickers gathered around the band
stand and listened to addresses by some
of the old settlers. Mr.. John Armstrong
who came to Kansas before it was a
state, presided. He made a short ad-
dress, as did also Nessrs Samuel Dol
man, John D. Knox, Revs. H d. Fisher
and ]. B. McAfee. All old settlers who
came to Kansas prior to or during the
war are eligible to membership in the
organization. The picnic was an en-
joyable one, and the basket lunch which
the members had was elaborate.

was created in the legislature today by
the introduction of a resolution in the
house providing for the appointment of
a committee to investigate the manage
ment of the state university in this
city.
The resolution charges that the pro-
fessors in the university are against
the interests of the institution; that
the minds of the pupils with Republi-
can political faith and that the entire
management of the institution, as well
as the students, are suffering by the
presence of these northern Ishmael-
ties" The resolution, which went over
until tomorrow for action, charges the
committee to secure the dismissal of
these northern professors if any of
them are found in the university.

"When it comes to artificial exercises
for the baby, there are few prevalent
among US that seem calculated to help
him. Monotonous Earring, shaking and
trotting are undesirable, if not harmful
When the idea is once grasped that Il
good, hearty cry is an admirable chest
expander, there is less temptation to
this form of parental indulgence, for it
will usually be found that the baby Is
trotted for the sake of the trotter rather
than for its own. Pcevishness is of
course undesirable. If due to indigestion
or other physical ailments, the baby
should be treated; if complicated by
overindulgence, the treatment should
be tempered with discipline which
should not stop with the child. -

Contrasts.

Statistics show that the uneducated
factory girl is moro frequently married
than is tha T'iIe awake, capable girl in
the higher salaried position of stenog-
rapher, Office assistant, clerk or trusted
secretary. The factory girl is not
thrown with people Of wealth and po-
sition SO much as is her more talented
sister, and consequently when some
honest man comes along she is ready to
trust her future with his III simple,
even shabby. little home. But the girl
who sees, day by day, the rustic of my
lady's silks and the courtly manners Of
my lady's husband and sons will not be
content to give up her salary, however
difficult it may be to earn it, for the
sake of being loved by man who may
not find her so charming when the rent
is overdue and the babies need new
shoes. So she stays on, growing old and
acquiring deeper lines about her mouth.
