He Tnnl1 in Rome

The man with the side-whiskers had
made tour of the world and was tell
ing the man with the goatee all about
it. OF the half dozen listeners the old
man in the seat ahead of him seemed
to be the most deeply interested, and
though he hitched about and evidently
peace for half an hour. Then he sud
denly asked:
Stranger, did you say you took in
Rome on your trip?"
Yes. 1 spent two weeks in Rome,
was the reply.
My daughter was reading to me
about Rome a few days ago. Pretty
nice town, amt it?"
Yes, Rome is a beautiful city,
What were 'taters selling at in Rome

Any idea what fresh pork brings

persisted the old man.
My dear SIR replied the traveller,
with a patronizing smile, Il went to
Rome to see it's celebrated ruins
And you didn't even ask the price of
fresh grass butter?"
mo, SIR
Nor find out whether mutton was
skass or plenty?"

ty in the law which caused some trouble
with the sale of the last issue of improve
ment bonds
When this bill was in danger of being
defeated one of the city officials of To
pelza notified the Shawnee county repre-
sentatives that the law was not consider
ed of much Importance anyway and to
let it die If there WAS any opposition. The
bill thereupOn died.
About tho only thing which Topeka got
ont of the legislative shuttle was the right
TO lay It's wa ter pipes from the newly ac-
oUired pumping station across the asylum
grounds The city is obliged to put some
IRE hydrants on The main for use at the
asylum in case OF need, but it does not
have to pay anything else Tor the priv
ilege Of crossing the tract. This right
may be of value to the city in the course
of the imorON ements to be made at the
plant.
Bills wore also passed making appro-
pria tiOns for the reconstruction of the
north and south steps at the state house,
and the paving of the walks and drives
around the state house grounds. These
two jobs will cost the state SO, COO and will
improve the locks of the state house
square.

I ever saw on the stage, but its failure

why, on fourteen different nights
heaven sent snowstornas to keep our
audiences away, and on the fifteenth
night our leading man got drunk and
couldn't play his part. We could have

there was too much heaven against US
and we had to quit and walk home!"

ELECTION Echoes.

A big placard nailed to a telegraph
pole in front of the voting booth in the
Second precinct of the Third ward bore
the following legend: send Stahl back
to the farm
At a downtown cigar store a pillow
was placed in the window with a rep
resentation of Chief Stahl at the ham
dies.
In the first precinct of the Third ward
a great many Davis ballots were in
validated and were not counted because
of imperfections in the marking.
From 4:30 to o'clock Ned Osborn
used his big Pope-Toledo in bringing
voters to the polling places in the Third
ward The attraction of an automobile
ride was sufficient to draw out many
voters who would not otherwise have
visited the polling places.

Canvass This Evening.
This evening the Republican city
central committee will meet for the
purpose of canvassing the vote.
1t is expected that two recounts of
the ballots will be demanded. The
councilman fight in the Second ward
where Noigt seems to have votes
the best of Dick Wilson, will probably
demand a recount; also the Smith
Wilson fight for member of the board
of education, which Smith has won
so far by one vote.
1t is also possible that Bob Miller
will demand a recount on the office of
city marshal which Wintrode seems
to have won by about 100 votes. Such
a recount would necessitate opening
up all the ballots cast by male voters
in the city and would take a good deal
of time. It is claimed by Miller that
great many ballots were thrown out
because of alleged defects, which
should have been counted. He has
not yet fully decided what he will do.
Row With BergundthaI
Eric Nystrom, a North Topeka citi-

North Topeka yesterday. Nystrom
says:
Il told Bergundtha1 that I was go

him, and he advanced upon me with
his fists doubled up and said ne
would scratch some Of the hide off my
face. He didn't scare me though;
kept at work. and did what I said
would do
1t is reported that Galen Nichols
had a fight with a big negro down IN
the Fifth ward Tuesday, in which
Nichols came out second best He
has several cuts on his face. Another
story and the true one is that
Nichols horse ran away and threw
him out.

A Costly Sport.
y - - y = - -

Nearly $5O,OUO,UUO Is expended
yearly on the game of golf, and of
this sum about a third is spent by
England and about a fifth by Scot
land. There are no fewer than $40
golf clubs in England alone. The
United States has 769; Scotland, 632;
Ireland, 1874, and Wales, 43. There
are 3 dotted over the continent, and
no British colony is without one, and
in many cases several links. In round
numbe there are 5000 golf links in
the world. Estimates show that not
less than $4,000 has been sunk in
each of these clubs and the prepara-
ton of their courses, so that there
has been a total permanent invest
ment of about $45, 100000.
Taking the average, these 5000
golf clubs of the world cost about
$4,000 each a year to run The
total amount paid in subscriptions by
the 10000 members of the 5000 golf
clubs is nearly $2O,000,00O. But the
entire golfng population of the world
is about 100000, and it is inevita bic
that the golfers must spend. at the
very least $50 yearly. Many spend
that sum, and there is one well known
amateur who gives his gol1ng ex-
penses at $4,000 year. But at the
modest average of $50 yearly, the
10000 golfers would spend among
them $37 100000 a year. Then each
of them possesses an outfit, the aver
age cost of which is 500
Thus the golfng public has sunk
about s15.000.000 in the purchase of
clubs The little ball has been the
basis of enormous business enterprises
in both America and England The
average amateur spends about rs
are known to spend IS. But averag-
ing on the minimum, the golfers of
the world fritter away the sum of
