Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1904-04-23

OF all the towns we strike along the
line where the girls swarm to the
trains and giggle and fiirt and .'show
off, generally Hays beats them all.
Take the hobos and the Ioafers and
last but not least the girls that infest
the Hays depot at night it is almost
impossible to board train without
politely knocking some of them down.
We are glad the Wa-Keeney girls
don't make" the evening train, if
they did. We would roast them deep
er shade of brown than thiS.-Wa-
keenev World.

Isn't a pIOus declaration like that
Earring? Wouldn't it wiring tears
from the heart OF a grindstone. We

Wa keeney editor must have new
brand if after indUlging he sees gig
CLING girls and flirting maidens- If
the World man would sober up. calm
ly light his pipe and pass through
Hays again he would go right home
and retract. True. there is usually a
crowd at the depot when the train
comes in but they are there either to
see friends off or to board the train in
preference to going down the track
mile or so and tagging it as it comes
along 1t may be the streets were
blocked when our brother editor hung
7 his head out of the window and saw
such strange, weird sights. They

wouldn't be girls enough in the town

Vow. Mr.. Mulroy, do you really
I think you treat US right when you get
so mad that you boil over and run
down the sides as you do in this arti-
Gle. Our feelings are very sensitive
and wish you would go easy. As a
matter of fact YOU admit we told the
the truth in the matter, so we can't
see why you sizz and sputter like an
| old-fashioned soda pop We are willing
to admit that your Hays girls can
smile with a charm that would melt
the heart of a Chinaman let alone a
travelling man or an editor away from
home without his wife. This isn't
the part we kick about at all, but
when we go to get on the train the
dear creatures crowd around so thick
that we are afraid they were going to
pin our ears back and swallow US
whole and that we wouldn't get home
at all. The Wa-Keeney girls are al
right and they don't have to peddle
their charms at the evening trains
either and they are as pretty and lady
like as any that grace the earth any
where. We believe, Mr.. Mulroy, that
personally you know great deal more
about that girl that makes the train
than you are willing to tell or how is
it that you keep such close tab on her
and how did you know she weighed
29O? She isn't Wa-Keenev girl at all.
