K.n.as University Celebrates.

Headed by the state university band,
several hundred students marched
through the streets of Lawrence the
other night and collecting dry goods
boxes and empty barrels along the
way, proceeded to North park, where
they deposited their burdens on the
altar erected in honor of the Kansas
football team and mingled the Rock
Chalk yell with the flames and smoke
of the burning sacrifice. The imme-
date cause of the demonstration was
the recent overwhelming victory of the
Jayhawkers over the South Dakotans
and the encouraging reports of the
way in which the Kansas team played
to win the victory. In the previous
games of this season the team has
been deplorably weak in interference,
but in the recent game this losing
factor was entirely eliminated and in
reference was one of the strongest
points of the teams work and the line
was like stone wall. Another inn
provement was shown by the absence
of fumbling, which has been one of
the worst faults of the playing of the
team.
Church Will Start q Bank.
It is an unusual thing for a church
to go into the banking business, but
that is what the Mennonite Brethren
at Mcpherson propose to do. The
bank is to have a capital of $4,000,
is to do general banking business
and to be run on strictly business prin-
ciples as money-making institution.
The stock will be subscribed by mem
bers of the church. The stockholders
will receive a small percentage of
the profits, but the greater part of
the money earned will go into a mis-
sionary fund to be handled by the
Mennonite Brethren Missionary asso-
citation of North America.

Chicago this week to settle upon
the joint traffic arrangement that
has been hanging FIRE for several
months, says the Topeka Journal.

s,osyo . Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
worst form OF slavery. George d.
Williams, Of Manchester. Mich,
tells how such slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has been
SO helpless for FIVE years that she
could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bit,ers she is wonderfully improved
and able to do her own work"
This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working med
icine is a godsend to weak, sickly,
run down people. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold

Burglars entered Dalton's drug

tapped the cash register for si7o. 80
Entrance was effected through a

broken and the lower sashed raised
by unlocking the window catch.
An arc light was burning in the
front part of the store and the
burglars hastily advanced and car
ried the cash register to the rear.

out into the back yard. The reg
lister being locked an iron bar was
utilized to break open the cash
drawer, the back of which was the
only part Of the register damaged.
Most OF the money was in large
pocket book which Mr. Dalton al
ways carried upon his person, but
which he inadvertently forgot to
take from the cash register on this
one night for the first time in years.
Night Marshal Devine first discov-
cred that the store had been bur-
glarized, finding the cash register
in the rear while making his usual
rounds, and picking up several sill
yer dollars which had been dropped
on the ground. He immediately
notified Mr.. Dalton. This is the
fourth time since his residence in
La Junta that Mr Dalton's store
has been burglarized.
An attempt was also made to
burglarize Joys drug store, prob
ably by the same parties. The
rear screen door was cut and pane
of glass broken, but the burglars
were evidently scared away before
an entrance was effected. No clue
TO the perpetrators has as yct bccn

p PUFF
OF WIND
And What It Did For a Husband.
BY w. R. ROSE


He opened the front door with his
latchkey and let himself in. 1t was
blowing hard outside, and as he held
the door ajar puff of wind rushed in.
1t was a strong capful, and it swayed
the curtains and futtered the long
leaves of the hardy palm in the parlor
archway. Then it caught up bit of
note paper that lay on the little table
In the hall and whirled it away be-
meath the bookcase in the corner. The
man who was entering did not see this
fluttering note. He shut the door quick
ly and turned about.
Nellie! oh, Nellie! Where the deuce
can she be?" he muttered. Never left
me like this before. What did she
take with herr" He opened the clothes
closet off the bedroom and looked at
her garments hanging in an orderly
row. He let his hand fall lovingly on
the familiar folds and pass down them
with gently smoothing pressure. Her
dresses seemed so eloquent of her pres
ence. Was she hiding behind these
dangling frocks? He poked his way
into the closet, up one side and back on
the other, but no Nellie was concealed
within its limited area.
"Funny!' he muttered again. Seems
to be gone without a word. Wonder
what she did with her jewelry?" He
thought he knew where she hid it
away, but he didn't. At least it wasn't
there.
MAY have taken it with her." he
murmured and stopped short The
idea was an ugly one. you're fool,
John Austinv' he said and scowled at
himself in the glass.
There was a pleasant aroma arising
from the interior of the dresser 1t
seemed part of her. There were two
Of her hairpins lying on the dresser top.
He picked them up carefully and laid
them on the little china dish where a
dozen or more of their brothers were
stretched at length. Her old shoes lay
beside her low sewing chair, small and
slim. He knew she had gone in hur-
ry. She would never have left this
mark Of untidiness if she hadn't been
pressed for time. But what could have
drawn her away from home SO sud-
denly?
John Austin was not a thoroughly
well man. He had worked too hard;
he was nervous and irritable. Evening
after evening he had come home and
unloaded into his wife's keeping as
much as he could of his burden Of daily
veNatiens. For the first time in their
Is months of married bliss his wife
had left him without a word of warn
ing.
He came slowly down the stairway
and dropped himself into big chair in
the library. His eye wandered about
the apartment. 1t was growing dusky
outside, and the books about him were
dim and misty. He shook his fist in a
sudden fit Of frenzy at the tiers of vol
uTnns

than he had Did she look Dack as ne
had been looking back? Did-did she
regret?
A great many people had admired
Nellie. All the men who knew Of his
domestic affairs considered him very
lucky man. He took their compliments
as matter of course. He felt COM
placently that this was complimentary
to his good taste and his admirable
home discipline. Fool!
There was one man in particular, his
friend. whom he had reason to believe
chad loved Nellie and would have made
her his wife. He was fine fellow, a
popular man, and he was worth good
deal of money. He would have made
life easier, perhaps happier, for her.
He contrasted himself with this man.
Was there any possible balance in his
favor? And yet Nellie had preferred
him. Was it love or was it pique?
Did the occasional sight of this old ad-
mirer ever arouse regret?
He got up slowly and looked at the
clock. He had been doing and dream
ing for he knew not how long. 1t was
past midnight He would go to bed.
She certainly wasn't coming home. Be
sides, she had her key.
He turned off the gas and went up
the stairs slowly and YEARLY. He
felt Old When he reached their room,
he did not light the gas. He knew
that almost every object in the apart
ment would remind him of her.
When he was in bed, he stretched his
arm slowly and tenderly across the va
cant place beside him and fell asleep.
He awoke with subtle odor in his
| nostrils, faint, yet pungent-a delicious
odor. He sat up quickly. 1t was broad
daylight, with the sun pouring through
the window. over which he had forgot
ten to draw the shade. He looked
about. No, Nellie hadn't come home.
John, John, you lazy boy! It's 8
o'clock, and the coffee is getting cold"
Was that her voice or was he dream
ing? Can you dream the odor of cof-
fee? He dressed in wild hurry and
then added the finishing touches more
slowly.
She was at the foot of the stairs, her
face beaming. her eyes sparkling
Hello, Johnnie" she cried.
Hello" he answered and stopped to
meet her kiss.
Miss me?'
Yes, a little"
That's right. Where did you get
your dinner?'
Dinner"
You great goose, don't believe you
had any. Did you miss me as much as
that? But you'll enjoy your breakfast
all the more. OF course you got my
note|
John started slightly. -faa
"Ofaeourse''
why. what's this by the bookcase?
Here's the note now. puff of wind
must have blown it from the table
where you dropped it. There, there;
sit down. You'll find your butterfly
wife hasn't forgotten how to cook.
How's the coffee?"
First class" answered John, with a
great gulp.
THANK you, dear. You see, Mabel
sent for me In such hurry just had
time to scribble that note and jump in
the carriage. And, oh, John, they've
got the sweetest little girl baby there
