nal: Charlie Scott says that along III
1870 his father took him into lola from
the farm 10 attend a celebration got
ten up in recognition of the arrival Of
the l.. l.. d q. railroad. There was
banquet somewhere. we believe, -
says Charlie, with speeches and all
that, but we didn't fluid il out until il
was all over-toO busy shopping
around seeing things. A bout ! o.
clock we happened to run up against
father, and he handed US a quarter
and told us TO get something to eat.
We invested that quarter i'm a hunk
of Lincoln Pie at restaurant and
ate it ALL" This is the first time for
quarter of a century Topics has
heard "LincOln Pie' mentioned.
Right after the war Lincoln pie had a
tremendous run in Kansas. There
isn't an old fellow in the State to-day
whose memory extends that far back
who is not ready and willing TO take
the stand and swear that Lincoln
pie was the finest "eating" he ever
threw lip over. But it appears to
he gone forever. Like the Damascus
blade and POmpeiian crOckery, it
must be numbered among the lost
arts.

They All Endorse Mrs. Picken.
Eureka Messenger: We learn from
the lola REGISTER that Mrs. Lillian
HOxie Pick~n, for several years
resident of Eureka, has received
letter from the State superintendent
stating that the first, second and
third readers thus far submitted to
the board Of school book commission
ers are not satisfactory and asking
her if she will undertake to compile
the series. Mrs. Picken is qualified
for the task, perhaps better than any
one else i'm Kansas, and the REGISTER
gallantry when it SAYS: 'If Mrs.
Picken consents TO do this work we
will withdraw our objections to the
new law-so far as it applies to the
first, second or third readers"
