Arkansas valley. There are several
good towns between the two cities and

Petition Alleges a Crime.

Fort Scott, April 13-John Kinney
probably the best known race horse
man in the Missouri and Kansas cir
cults, is alleged in a petition filed in
the federal court here today to have
sold five race horses, valued at 81. 300
that were placed in his care to be train
ed, and disappeared. The suit is brought
by w G. Lemon of Nevada, who claims
to be the owner of the horses, against
Riley F. Robertson, a wealthy horse
man of Galena. He seeks to recover
$1,000 from Mr.. Robertson, whom he

ugly person it is a sign that you are
ugly yourself.
The devil is clamoring for another
Atchison man to pay the fiddler.
After people reach SO, they frequently
begin to take their baths with less reg
ularity.
An Atchison girl who had four min
listers assist" at her wedding is con-
sulting a divorce lawyer.
Atchison has a very remarkable boy:
he went duck hunting and told the ex-
act truth about it after his return
If some of the old maids had married

sons old enough to support them.

tell her lot of stories on the other fell
lows.
There probably never was a woman
too good to try to pass her children off
as under age when travelling on the
railroad.
Every woman has a longing to some
day put on mems clothes and go around
with the men when they are out for a
time.
AS soon as a singer does fairly well
on q church hymn, she begins to reach
out with step ladders for the high notes,
and makes a failure.
During the first three months of every
engagement the girl makes a confess
sional of the man. Later, she wishes
she hadn't confessed SO much.
There never was a sillier saying than
that 'the course of true love never
runs smooth 1t gives every lover who
quarrels an excuse for the trouble by
claiming that when a love affair meets
with rocks and snags, it is not
true"
Do Atchison people appreciate the
song or the singer? 1t is remarked that
at concerts the best singer gets a Klon-
dixie reception, while girl who is pop
ular, but who can't sing, brings down
the house. 1t is also noticed that young
girls get heartier applause than the old
married women.
No one can be truly distinguished
who hasn't sent to a larger town for
physician. In Efingham, they send to
Atchisoin; in Atchison, they send to
Kansas City, and in Kansas City, they
send to st. Louis. People in larger towns
are built on the same plans those in
smaller towns, and a doctor who cuts
a man up in big city sees and learns
nothing that is not found in cutting
man up in a smaller town.
