Wheatley remarked that the Republicans
We're able TO settle the thing without the

THEIR MONEY BACK.
Appearance Bonds Enlist Their
Brethren In Their Behalf.

TOPEKA, Jan. 13~.-(Special.) The Pop
minority in the house has Joined in a move
ment to force the authorities of Topeka to
refund 500 forfeited by three Pop repre-
sentatives and a Topeka citizen ON an ap-
pearance bond recently. The four were ar
rested in an immoral resort one night dur
ing the extra session and taken to the
police station. A friend of theirs put up
back when they got their pay, and now
they want the city authorities to refund
the money. The minority, in the house
has become interested. and the threat Is
made that. IL the money is not refunded,
the Pops will kill every bill in which To-
peka is interested at the regular session.
They claim the Pop senate will stand by
them on the proposition. The city author
tiles have as yet taken no action. One of
the Pops caught in the raid was tangled
up in the legislative investigation. Testi-
mony was given to prove that he tried to
get 500 from the railroads to build a new
barn. Another one was Il Pop from South
western Kansas who tried to bleed all sin
of the Pop candidates for United States
senator two years ago for 500 each. on the
ground that he was for him." The other
one was a member who does
not live more than 100 miles from Wichita.

TOPEKA, Jan. 13.-tSpecial) From pres
ent indications one of the p~rettiest tights in
which the Pops in the senate are likely 10
engage during the present session VIII

Wellington will each make u gigantic effort
to secure a new state insane asylum. III
his message to the legislature, Governor
Stanley recommended additional facilities
for the care of the insane, and his recon-
mendations are more than likely TO be iol-
lowed If the Pop scrap does not assume loo
great proportions
Clay Center and Wellington are the cam
didates. but the contest has become f&r
more than a mere race between two cities
for a prize. 1t has developed into a per-
sonal struggle between Senator Hanna and
Senator Forney. and out of the campaign
which each man is making many complI-
cations are liable 10 arise. Unknown to
the other, each of these senators confded
TO his friends to-day that he would intro
duce his bill Immediately upon the con-
vening of Mondays session.
Last Thursday when Hanna was suspend
ed by a cord in midair, halfway between
public and private life. he received a tele-
gram from a Clay Center banker which
read:
The retaining Of your seat is necessary
to the asylum proposition"
This telegram was printed in one of the
newspapers, and ave Senator Forney the
nrst intimation that Wellington had OPP
position in its ambition to secure the
asylum. Forney Immediately Joined forces
with the late administration people in an
effort to nave Hanna unseated. A caucus
of Pop senators was called. and Forney
Joined with Campbell in demanding that
Hanna be expelled from the senate. Han
ma. meanwhile, had seen" the other sem
ators and secured pledges from enough OF
them to assure his success. Forney saw he
was beaten, and rather than be made sport
of by Hanna arose from his seat when The
resolution recognizing Hanna as a senator
was introduced this week, ana MD hlmselt
In the cloakroom.
Senator George Campbell, of Labette, who
has been the official mouthpiece in the
senate of John w. Leedy, was one of the
four who voted against the Hanna reso:u-

desk and said:

Hanna, Il didn't need you this time. but !

Senator Campbell has long cherished ar
ambition to be chief executive of Kansas

n,Annrnzio,s QualitN.

Golfers Weekly.
D'Annunzio wrote in verse before he dis
covered that prose is more difficult. But
his early verse was excellent We assume
songbirds that trilled to him lays of mod
ern Rome. He listened, put them on paper,
made them quite heady, pagan in sentiment
as in beauty, and on handing them out, as
he happened to be young, good-looking and
well born, he found himself like Byron, in
a position to toss monogrammed handker-
chiefs where he chose. That Is what fame
means to young poets. Occasionally to old
ones. Afterward came his novels recently
his plays. Through them all passion pours
in d manner comparable only to lava. Con-
Moreover like Burgundy, it IS no longer
fancied. Shandy gaffs of elegancy and vim
brut is what is wished to-day. Primeval
Adam and primitive Eve circulate as before,
but fashion has decreed not alone that they
shall be properly attired but that they shall
b. deliberately CARRIED. The adventures of
Cupid are Identical. He used to be naked
and unashamed. Subsequently he got a
coating of dirt. At present he is just the
same vicious little chap as before, but his
wardrobe is complete. His trousers come
from Saville row, his shirts from the Rue
de la Paix. He never says a word that could
not be shrieked through a ballroom. C'est
un petit monsieur a la mode. All of which
D'Annunzio has not entirely appreciated.
His pen is not always genteel. But it has
a saving grace. In the passion in which it
logical and exact Melancholy sits brooding
through 1t all. 1t don't make you much In
love with love. In providing Chambertin he
heightens the taste for champagne Though
not in the business We are just as well

Here is something I wish to inquire
about" said an elderly gentleman as he
entered the establishment of a dealer in
artists materials and held out a tiny book
let Il bought some gold leaf of you few
days ago, and on turning the sheets of paper
between the leaves ] discovered that they
contained portions of the Scriptures and
seemed to have been cut from part Of the
Bible"
$50 they WERE" answered the dealer, "but
there is nothing so extraordinary about that
fact when you understand 1t. It was Eng
lish gold leaf you bought and that, as a
regular matter of business, is packed in
little books made up of pages of the Bible
cut to the requisite size and stitched to-
gether.
s'No proclamation is intended, but the prac-
tice Of packing the material in this way is
we'll established. The Bible is selected for
the purpose because, as general thing, the
type is more evenly set and the printing
finer and better executed than in other
books.
Printed paper has always been in general
use for packing the sheets Of gold. The
slight indentations made by the type serve
to keep them more firmly in place. They
slip when packed between plat. sheets. The
Pook of Common Prayer is also employed
for the same purpose and for the same
reason.

'.All things considered the most effective
compliments are often hating and awkward
ones, paid by persons who seldom indulge
in such things. They have the charm or the
unexpected, and the pleased recipient always
thinks that the faltering words scinullate
with sincerity.
''One Of the most graceful compliments |
ever received was from a man who did not
care fig for me and had no possible reason
to wish to ingrat iate himself. He was sim
ply Well-trained socially and had trick OF
memory which should have made him as
popular as the Prince of Wales. We met
when l was very young girl at country
house. I was an amateur gardener and eX-
pressed my admiration of the great beds or
pink hyacinths in our hosts garden. l don
think we ever discussed flowers again and
our acquaintance never got beyond the small
talk stage. Ten years passed and met him
in Paris. My husband invited him TO dine
with us at our hotel. He came, armed with

They Want Girls.

New York Times.
All women will be pleased to learn that
in one position In life their sex is at a
premium-that is, in the way of adoption.
In the course of a year there is an enor-
nous number of children taken from
New York alone for adoption, and it is
almost always that a little girl is pre-
ferred. People seem to think that in the
uncertainty Of taking a strange child into
the family there is too much risk in TAX
ing a boy. so the letters come to the char
ity agencies through which such work is
done, saying: Won't you please send me
a pretty, blue-eyed little girl?" Or it may
be that it is a dark-eyed little girl that il
wanted. or one with curly hair. 1t is some
thing like buying a doll to take the ready
made little girl into the family, and the
parents-to-be are able to crafty their par
ticular tastes in children. There would &c
no fun in taking a little boy" one woman
said. 7 want q little girl so l can dress
her and fix her up 1t is the doll principle
on a more important scale
But there was something even more
Gathering in the wish Of a country editor
for a little girl. He wished some one to
help him in his work, and, he had nc
children, he said he would adopt a child
He wished 10 take little girl for he said
that girls were better at composition than
