HIS LAST EFFORT.

He read the war news eagerly,
The fearsome funny man;
Then reaching for his stock Of puns
The punishment began.
" To Russian army to the front
The willy Jap to beat.
Will show my skill the Gar declared
And prove the Russian feet
And yet. how could the Russian bear
To leave his home and wife
To rush across Siberian SHOWS
And risk his precious life?
yet never did the Russian nag
Through obstacles like these,
He vowed he'd bring those awful Japs
Upon their Japan knees.
The Japs had eyed Manchuria
And said in manner cool
Since now we rule upon the seas
Let's seize upon the rule.
Into a Russian harbor then
They sailed with conscience clear, >,
Those Japs feared not harbor
And they harbored not a fear.
They found the enemy asleep.
They aimed their shots as well
AS Dewey at Manila when
He gave the Spanish shell.
"And If you ask how goes the fight
AS it has gone thus far,
And who is being bested now,
think the Russianszar."
And having thus expressed himself
The punster dropped his head
And fixed in space a CLASSY stare.
They shook him He was dead

THE INTERFERING OUTSIDER.

Family peace is often marred by the
interfering outsider. Almost always,
if there is nobody to comment or fan
the flame of quarrel. husband and
wife will adjust a transient difference.
A cousin aunt or indiscreet mother
who takes sides and makes injudicious
remarks will stir up strife where do
mestic dissension gives the slightest
peg on which to hang foolish words
and satirical jests. Every home is best
for itself, but where there is need for
the presence of an outsider who must
be an integral part Of the circle she
must beware of interferences.

Mr.. kENDRIcH IS HERE
Visits the Santa Fe shops and Talks
With Mr.. Nudge.


J. w. Kendrick, third vice president
of the Santa Fe railroad, has been in
Topeka today in consultation with
General Manager Nudge in regard to
motive power questions.
Last night Mr.. Kendrick went over
the local shops with Alfred Lowell
and discussed plans for the improve
meut of the shop work at this point
The strike of the union machinists
which occurred on the Santa Fe sew
eral months ago seems to be almost
forgotten. Mr.. Kendrick states that
the strike is not interfering with the
traffic of the company, and that so far
as the company is concerned no one is
aware of a strike. All shops are run
ming full-handed and there is no
trouble.
T. L. Wilson, who was one of the
strike leaders while the strike was on,
has been in the west recently and has
been stating to the union men who are
out of employment on the coast lines
that If they will have patience the
Santa Fe will be making overtures in
a short time. This idea is laughed
at by the Santa Fe officials.
Mr.. Kendrick attended the time
card meeting this morning while the
matter of changing the schedule of
No. 5 west of Albuquerque was up for
consideration. 1t was decided to have
No. leave Albuquerque a few min
uteS later than at present.

FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY.
Struggle Between Second Washburn
Team and Topeka High School.

Great interest is being taken at
Washburn and at the Topeka high
school in the game Saturday between
the WashbErn second team and the H.
S. boys. It would not be surprising to
find that this game will draw as big
a crowd of rooters for both sides as
any game of the season. The high
school team would like nothing better
than to trail the colors of the collegians
in the dust.
Washburn's second team has dis
tinct advantage from the fact that both
Rice and Griggs will play in the game.
They are ineligible for the regular first
team this year, and will play the halves
in Saturdays game. Lee will probably
play fullback, and Rice quarter back
This makes a backfeld as fast or faster
than the average college team posses
ses. WashburnS line will also be
strong, possessing such men as Teiss,
Snattinger, Wedding, Amick, A. VIII
liams, H. Tice and Maxwell.
The high school team is also heavier
than usual this year, and has good
bunch of old material back in the game.
Frank Griggs captains the team, and
he is one of the fastest high school foot
ball players in the state. The high
school has been practising hard every
afternoon, and plays its usual fast
game.
