Clay Centre Times: The ingenuity and
quick business sense of a booze seller
at Wichita will be remembered by the
Clay Center contingent who attended a
recent convention down there for a long
time to come. He had a conspicuous sign
in his place of business announcing 30
year old whislsey 25 cents per drink
Some of the Clay Center folks who had
been Investigating further up street found
an equally good joint where 20 year old
whiskey was advertised for 20 cents. They
told number one of the find and advised
him to get into the game. a cent year
on such goods is generally considered
about right. This man conceded that he
must meet competition, and agreed to
do it, He did so by simply cha nsing his
sign to read ''25 year old whiskey %
cents" He raised the age of the goods
instanter without disturbing the. price. 1t
was a quick and thoughtful trick. worthy
of the best brains of a Napoleon of fin
ance.
Anthony Bulletin: There is talk of MAX
ing Wichita a station in a wireless tele-
graph system that is being promoted by
New York parties. Why not use hot
air?
"Kingman Journal: at is reported that
two portraits of Dante have been dis
covered in Bologna--Ex." Not surpris-
ing. We have discovered almost any
thing from a stray dog to a rubber shoe
in bologna from the Wichita packing
houses.
Topeka Journal: A breach of promise
suit at Wichita developed that the defend
ant sent to the plaintiff ten niillion-mil-
lion-million kisses. However, they were
sent by a rural mail" and did no par
ticular damage.
Topeka Herald: The Lawrence World
quotes the Wichita Eagle as saying that
Chancellor Strong. in his address before
the bankers convention told several
very appropriate jokes, which created
much laughter. His talk was deep and
philosophical. Education, OF course. was
the topic and his was model address"
We don't believe it. Chancellor Strong Is
a Baptist. temperance man and T.
NJ c. A. worker. There is not the least
doubt that the Wichita joint Or snake
variety of refreshment Will make men
say such things. but we insist that Chan
cellor Strong is teetotaler. Moreover.
he has frequently made addresses in
LeavSnwortb, and no such oratorical cop
glomeration was ever attributed TO him in
that town. He has been misquoted.
