tumnal colorings. The hard maple,
which lends the vivid scarlet note to
the Indian Summer pageant in the east
and north, is rare in this locality, all
though it is Indigenous in Kansas as
far up the Kaw as Lawrence. The ma
pie at the corner of Twelfth and Tay-

Recognizing the natural human
weakness for gossip. some Topeka
women have organized a Scandal club.
and have made a solemn resolve to DO
hat end it. The organization is a
secret one and every member pledges |
herself that what she hears at the club

gossip. Instead of taking the city
as a guide and handing it to
everybody therein named, in regular

knocking is not permitted AT the last
session the theatrical PROFESSION got
theirs and prominent actors of both

Are No Better Than They Should Be or
