A Burlington man who is some
thing of philanthropist and observ-
er of business transactions, wants to
organize Buttinsky Society for the
Prevention of Robbery of Reubs. He
argues that there are SO many people
who have little money and lack
sense enough to take care of it prop
erly, and are constantly swindled by
shrewd traders and agents who great
Iy overreach and outwit them, that
society should protect them. He says
the B. S. P. r. r. should be organized
and an executive committee selected,
whose duty it shall be to look after
people who are not smart enough to
protect themselves from the grafters,
sharks, swindlers, and sharp traders
of all sorts and conditions that infest
the country and are ever on the watch
for victims. When any member of
this committee sees a reub about to
make foolish trade or purchase, and
be robbed Of his money, it shall be his
duty to report at once, and the COM
mittee shall then butt in and warn
him against the foolish act. II, after
being duly warned, the reub still in
sists upon acting the fool and being
robbed, it shall be the duty of the
committee to arrest him and take his
money away from him and keep it
until he gives legal assurance of more
sensible conduct. Then it shall be
returned to him and reasonable
charge made for the protection afford
ed. These fees shall be used to defray
the expenses of the society and COM
mittee. He contends that it would
be much cheaper to protect the reubs
and charge them reasonable fee for
it than to let them be robbed by the
sharks. He admits that this can not
be legally done now, and there is no
law for it, but he contends that the
next legislature should pass the nee
essary laws and put the plan into
operation. He thinks the society
should be under the supervision of
the board Of control and the execu-
tive or buttinsky committee should
be required to report monthly, giving
complete history Of all cases hand
led and stating exactly what fees
were charged and collected, ana for
what purpose the money was expend-
ed. He is thinking of announcing
himself as candidate for the next
legislature on this platform and COM
mencing an aggressive campaign
early next spring.-K. g. Journal.

A Kansas newspaper man gave no
tice that for one week that he would
tell the truth regardless of the conse-
quences. A marriage took place that
week, and this is what he wrote:
married, Miss Sylvia Rhode to
James Carnahan, last Sunday evening
at the Baptist church. The bride was
a very ordinary town girl, who doesn't
know any more than rabbit about
cooking. and never helped her mother
three days in her life. She is not a
beauty by any means, and had gait
like fat duck. The groom is an up
to-date loafer, has been living off the
old folks all his life and don't amount
to shucks, nohow. They will have a
hard time while they live together"
