TWixT YOU AND Me.

i promised TO deliver the kick of
! one OF the members OF tho Looking
for-Trouble Club as To- the post Office.
That was some time last year. but
I've not forgot il.
They say we never forget. In the
pigeonholes OF the brain things are
often temporarily overlooked. but they
are never lost. Millions of impressions
are there filed away for future refer
ence, as it were.
They become dust covered. Often
when we want we cannot pull them
out-cannot flch from the gates of
memory n name, or place. or face, or
what not that we would long to have
with us, in the minds eye, for a mo-
ment
But 1t is there. just the same.
Whatever it is il is there. 1t can't get
out. il can't be lost, only hidden from
sight for a time i'm the mass of impress
OF rubbish, you know.
But some hour, some occasion.
some association, will cell up the
coveted memory that erstwhie eluded
our most eager search.
1t may come TO us with startling
out of a dream.
You have all experienced IL. the
sudden discovery of the piece of MEM
ory you thought was lost and gone
forever. The coming to you like n bolt

1 The Populist Legislature of Kansas
seems to have overreached itself after
| the customary amusing fashion. When
| by the last election the Populst ghost
of Kansas was laid there was much
grievng among Governor Leedys 3
elect, but with due resignation it was
announced that the spirit would be
chastened in that the term of office of
the Populist state government would
be wound up without enacting any fur
ther legislation calculated To distress
plutocrats and to compel any further
overhauling of the laws than already
confronts the new government after an
extended era OF crank statute making.
But il appears the itching FOR a last
whac'< at things was Irresistible. So
Governor Leedy called his sorrowing
legislators IN extraordinary. on special.
session. and they have passed a bin
creating "A court OF visitation 20

the Chief objects OF Populism during
it's life was i'm the nature of hearing

dying legislature was designed TO be
clincher and corker. TO arrange for
