Frank Brink man is acting cashier
of our bank in the absence of Art
Taylor. Mr Brinkman is very
pleasant and sffabie young man and
we would like him to stay with US,

It seems like we are never given

bologna dealer :he Hon. Ludvik
Victoria Castoria Balcarek In our;

the Topeka meeting of the State
Teachers Association. The Prof
relates an incident that goes far to-

by one of the Topeka railroads, to
take jaunt to an institution near
the city, and in the rush for coach
room the Prof and some 6 or 8 pretty
Kansas school marms were elected to
ride on the engine. Mr.. Baty says
the fireman and engineer took of

rode on the tender of the engine. OF

the girls on his lap and give them

careful that the Prof. wilt recover
his usual austere demanor for which
we are all truly thankful
