Stampina White Horses.

Since the Otto FIoto show people placed
their show bills in the different store win
dows over the city they daily attract a
crowd of little boys who admire the pic
lures of the horses, dogs and monkeys
and sagely comment upon their good and
bad qualities. These crowds of barefoot
ed urchins are usually town boys who
see every show that comes along, but
one day last week a little boy from the
country came in wi h his mother and he.
too, was attracted by the pictures of the
pretty white horses. His mother went
into the store to make some purchases

The Girl on Ice

The average Wichitan possibly thinks
that he would enjoy spending some of
these warm afternoons in refrigerator.
but one Wichita girl who has had the
benefit of experience says that it is not
a very pleasant ordeal and that in the
future she will be satisfied with most any
old degree Of heat. A few days ago this
Young lady dropped in to have a few
words with her particular friend while his
employer was out. The young man works
in a factory where there Is a large
cold storage plant and where the tenn
r,erat,1re remains near the freezing point
the year around The employer is not
particularly fond Of having young laCies
can upon his helpers during work ng
hours and when the young man suddenly
spied him making a Decline for the build
ing, he gently pushel the young lady into
the cold storage room and closed the door.
He expected the employer TO leave in
few minutes. but that individual found
several little tasks to occupy his time
and managed To put in a good half hour
before taking his departure. Meanwh lie.
the young man was shivering almost as
badly as the girl in the refrigerator and
after watching the boss out Of sight he
went to the refrigerator door with quak-
ing knees fully expecting to ind the cool
idol Of his heart frozen into some big cake
OF ice. He opened the door carefully and
cautiously and peered within. There she
stood safe and sound. but shiverins like
an aspen and so cold that she was almost
blue. She gave HIM one look that save
him the shivers worse than ever and shot
past him without a word. He has not
seen her since and has concluded that
his is q mishty cold world.

Gerald Folk learned of one of Col. L.
r. Delaney's experiences which happened
In the east this spring while bathing in
Salt Lake recently. Mr.. Volk attended
the convention of the National Editorial
Association in Omaha recently and went
on the excursion to Salt Lake and Vel
lowstone park with the editors. While
bathing in Salt Lake one of the New York
members of the party got salt water in
his eyes and as Mr. Volk had a fresh
handkerchief under his hat he loaned it to
his brother editor for New York When
the man from New York learned that
Volk was from Wichita he inquired if
he knew Col Delaney Then, while both
men lay on their backs floating on the
surface of the Salt Lake. the New York
man told the following story:
When l. r. Delaney was back in the
east this spring attending the meeting Of
the passenger agents, he and his brother
went to their fathers farm in New York
state 10 visit their parent who is now
quite an elderly gentleman. The brothers
were determined to show the old man a
good time and decided to take him TO
Coney Island TO see the sights When
they arrived at Coney Island as neither
brother had seen the old gentleman for
a number az years, they naturally We're
very tender in their treatment of him.
Everything that would tend to his enjoy
ment was done. Col. Delaney, as every
one knows is very metropolitan in his
appearance and his brother is a good
mate for him. When the COney Island
Detectives saw these two men showing
the elderly man the sights and treating
him in such tender and thoughtful man
ner they became suspicious. After spot
ting the trio for some time, they became
confident that the two young men were
'bunco steerers' and were preparing to
fleece the old gentleman. Col. Delaney
was promptly taken into custody and it
seemed for time that he would get to
pass the night in the police station. All
Of his explanations only tended to make
the detective believe that he was a very
shrewd man of the gold brick profess
sion and it was only when his father
came to the rescue and claimed him for
son that he was released.
