Couldn't Insult the Honest Kansan.

The eastern people who were ours
ing Kansas very few years ago and
who thought every Kansas man a
thief, says the Wichita Eagle, are
sneaking back again with a little cap
ital for Investment. They have ar
rived at the conclusion that Kansas,
after all, is a pretty decent sort of a
state, and that her people are pretty
respectable kind of citizens. A day
or two ago George Spencer received a
letter from a German in Philadelphia
who stayed up at night inventing new
cuss words for application to Kansas,
appealing to him to secure him some
thing like SIS. 900 worth of invest
ments in Wichita.
This same man had something like
S12, 900 invested here five or six years
ago and if he had had patience and
waited till now he would have quad
rupled his money.
One dav about five years ago, George
Spencer was going to Hartford, Conn.
to buy 81, 900 or Sc, 1000 worth of fore
been cussing Kansas and it flashed in
to his head that he would drop off at
Philadelphia and tackle this man who
had fifteen foreclosed mortgaged on
Wichita property. Arriving in Phila-
delphia he told a friend there about
his design and asked him what kind
of a fellow this man was.
"When you meet him, George. said
the friend, "you must keep cool or you
will have fight on your hands. He
is ready at all times to lick a Kansas
man on sight. He will call you all
kinds of thieves, but il you keep cool
and don't mind it you'll land him."
And so George went to the Office of
this rich speculator and gave him his
card. His spectacles fell down off his
nose when he read ''Gerge Spencer,
Wichita"
50 you're from Kansas, are you?"
he growled.
Eyes SIR
"What do you want2"
Il want that property you own out
in Wichita"
$50 you came to rob me did you?n
Il don't know anything about the
laws in Pennsylvania" said George,
but there is no law in Kansas to COM
pei man to sell il he doesn't want
to-"
Il don't want to hear anything
about your Kansas laws; every one Of
them Is made to protect thieves and

Some of the Populis5 papers are
having spasms because there is no
way of voting for the same men will
out voting the same ticket. They
want to vote for men who will be
Democrat for one voter, PoDulist for
another, ResubmissiOn for another
and Prohibition for another. They
are not fighting for principle. but for
name, just as if a mans administra-
tion would be different if he were
elected upon ticket headed "Demo-
crat" than it would if the same man
had been elected upon a ticket head

The Semi Weekly Capital, published
at Topeka, is one of the best farm
newspapers published anywhere. Re-
aliZing that a good market report is
one Of the most valuable features of a
farm newspaper, the Capital prints
twice week full report of all the
markets Of the world, including To
peka, and the report is absolutely re-
liable.
1t prints all the news of the civiliz-
ed world fresh from the wires of the
Associated Press, covering the field
more thoroughly than any of the met
ropolitan weeklies. But in the mat
ter OF Kansas news, it has no competi-
tor, our large corps of special cores
pondents enabling us to cover the
field thoroughly. Outside of your own
home paper, you can get more local
news from the Capital than from any
other paper published.
Editoriaily it labors increasingly for
the States moral and material well
fare. While strongly republican in
politics, its editorials are fair and I'M
prejudiced, and its news columns are
open alike to the dOings of all politi-
cal parties.

81 don't know about that said
George ssI've been out there myself
for nearly three days"
"What have you got to buy with
wind?"
Il have money! said George, ''un-
less you prefer wind-I have that too. !"
do you know my property out
there?"
Eyes, you'v got four five-room
houses, two six, six seven and three
eight-f1fteen in all. Your back taxes
are SO much and it will take so much
to repair them"
'sYou have them down pretty fine.
haven't you, eh?"
Eyes, / know more about them
than you do yourself"
''What will you give for them?"
s'In lump, FIJI give you $50 apiece
for Them"
He whistled and went into the air
and when came down he cussed some
more.
.sHe finally said give me SIS apiece"
sNo, $50"

mo, said $50 and fifty it must be
or nothing"
Make out your check"
mo sir, I'll give you the cash right
here"
"My God," he said. .let's see that
money. 1 haven't seen the color of
Kansas money for five years."
When George pulled a roll out of
his pocket the old mans eyes were
bigger than saucers.
"You are foolish to carry that much
money about your person." he re-
marked, ''you'll get robbed"
II expect it is foolish for me to
carry it that way here" said George
"but out in Kansas it would be all
right"
The old man couldn't think of any
ouher way to meet this but by saying:
"You go to-"
81 am going there" said George.

old man, ''that if / ever met an hon.

of champagne for him. Your last re-
mark convinces me that you are hon

After they had pulled the third cork
the man was in better humor.
Spencer" he said, "vou know I am
a broker and win or lose it's go with
me- Now, / want to ask you how
much you beat me out of today?"
II don't think I've got you for more
than S., 5OO-maybe not that much.
Kansas is looking up you know, and
especially Wichita"
"Damme, like your cool honesty"
observed the broker, and Well have
another on it,"
Let me do 1t this time" said
George, Il can afford it,"
mo sir. 1 said that if ever I'd meet
an honest Kansas man I'd go the limit
on him and am man of my word. !"
George didn't leave for Hartford the
next day.
He was mighty surprised few days
ago to get a letter from that broker
asking him to find investments for
him in Kansas, and saying: "Your

FOR THE FIRST COOL DAYS

fashion Of last spring, but in the same
way that apparently small items in
mans dress mark the changes from
year to- year, so now in women's tailor
gowns of THE severe order, there are
many changes only recognizable to the
initiated in the smart tailor gown
order.
Blue oheviot gowns are rather mcre
elaborate than the gray, for trimming
of black braid or bias folds Of the ma
terial stitched at either side is cOnsid-
cred smart on them, and there may be
many rows of braid cr many folds of
cloth if so desired. but the cut Of the
gown is identical with the gray. Light
smooth cloths are considered quite in
appropriate TO this style of costume,
but all the rough materials are used
for it. Not only the cheviots and
serges in the plain mixtures. but the
novelties in the dark grounds with
white dots or lines. However, the best
dressed women contend that the more
inconspicuous the material for a plain
tailor gown the smarter it is. and keep
the more shcwy fabrics for the after
noon street gown, which still is made
with lcng skirt and much trimming.

The cool weather of the summer ard
autumn has made the wearing of
wool street gowns fashionable mu, h
earlier in the season than for many
years, and it must be confessed the
women who lhave invested in the light
weight cheviots and cloth gowns look
far smarter than those who go about
in summer frocks, with wraps and
coats. The favorite style of street
gown is the dark gray or blue cheviot,
with short circular skirt, made with
habit back, inverted box plaits at the
back, or circular with box plaits, or the
effect of the box plaits; three-quarter
length coats, either with attached
skirts or cut in one piece from the
shoulder, with medium eize coat
sleeves, velvet collar and no cuffs;
small lapels of the cloth without amy
facing, and The coat fastened with bone
buttons of medium size. The skirts of
the coat are Joined at the back in
preference to the style of last winter,
made on the lines of a mans frOck
coat. OF course this is am extremely
severe style of gown, and in the des-
cription there does not seem to be any
marked contrast between it and the
