by the Klein estate which is being
rapidly settled up. The city wanted to
get that, but the owners were foxy
enough not to plat the land, but sell it
off by metes and bounds. It is there
fore in the same legal status as Steele S
addition, and cannot be taken into the
city.
There is another tract east of Roots
addition in the vicinity of Parkdale,
which can not be included, because it
is unplatted territory.
1t was planned to reach out and
gather in a bunch of lots in Miller's
College Park addition which is pretty
well settled up. The city attorney de-
cides, however, that these lots are safe
from molestation because they do not
touch the city limits.
SCHEME IS ON FOOT.
There are two half blocks near to
| Washburn college which are to be in
cluded in the city attorney annexation
ordinance, but a scheme is on foot to
knock out these two tracts when the
matter comes before the council.
For years these two tracts have been
well settled, but for some reason they
have several ties previously eluded
the city drag-net. Previously to this
year they have been marked for annex
alton, but the residents have put up
such a good talk that they have been
left outside. So while they enjoy all
the benefits of city life, they pay coun-
/ ~
One of the tracts is between Walnut
street and Euclid avenue on Boswell
and the other is on College avenue,
north of Walnut.
The people who live on these half-block
strips assert that it is necessary that
they should be left outside, not for their
own sakes, but because the school district
of which they are a part. needs their
financial support. Whether this self-sac-
rifcing spirit will appeal to the council
or not remains to be seen.
All the land which is annexed to the city
must be annexed at the next meeting of
the city council, so that it can be in
cluded in the various wards and precinct
boundaries and properly classified by the
election commissioner before the regis
tration books open on January 1. 1t is
necessary to pass an ordinance complete
~ defining the boundaries of the city
when new land is added. 1t takes about
two columns of newspaper space to legal
ly define Topekas boundaries.
The following are the proposed annexa-
lions which have been approved by the
city attorney:
Histed's addition, 1 block at First ard
Clay streets.
FarnSworth tract.
Four tracts between Potwin and Au-
burndale.

OLD GLASGOW.
The City Was Founded About 1,SOO Years Ago by Kentigern or
 St Muugo

We hear great deal in these days fin praise of Glasgow as truly model city ard of it's municipaizing in the interest of the citizens nearly every public franchise That Is all true and Glasgow highly merits all praise bestowed upon it. At present, how ever. we would briefly remind our readers of Glasgow in the olden time-hundreds of wears before tobtaned It's present state of per fection-and of which now rarely hear A word. says The Scottish American.
 It is about 1890 yeas since Glasgow was founded by Kentigern. or St. Mungo, but the city d.d not amount to much until after the now much decried (by Scottish home rulersl act of union between Scotland and England about 200 years ago. It was that act which enabled the merchant adventurers of Glas- eow to send out their ships to Virginia and Maryland here for cargoes of tobacco leaf. Thus tobacco manufacture was the first impor- tant foreign trade and home industry estab- lished by Glasgow enterprise.

Men and Women as
 Kate Clye Sees Them.

A certain clever woman Is writing a se- ries of sketches treating of human be- ings in the fashion one would speak or animals, classifying them as to habits. regions where they live. and there Is just enough truth in 1t to make 1t in- teresting.
 Take the young man, for instance. He is certainly. especially here in New York, a most peculiar and interesting animal. It is sure thing that many times he doesn't seem to exhibit the sense of human being. l am not sure whether 1t Is because girls are becoming more sen- sible that men don't see the need of being so any more. but do know this if we had the old style, sentimental, insipid womankind and the new style of young man at once, as a nation we would be on the straight road to the foolish house.
 In the old days one knew pretty much what to expect from man. Please don't think I was in existence then, but have conversed with people who were, and I have also read the novels of the period. which certainly go to prove that the balance of sense was on the mans side. To go back to the subject. you generally knew what to expect of your man; his moves were few. direct and generally clumsy. Alas. that happy day Is past! Modern man Is downright fin- icky; worse still he has nerves. Not only sounds, but cdlors. affect him.
