better look out
The Minneapolis Better Way enters
Earl Gafford, cashier of the Oakhill
cashier in the state. He was only 21
when elected to his position last year.
Having perused a bunch of lftera-
ture entitled, "How the Two-Cent-
Fare Laws are Proving a Disappoint-
| ment," received from a railroad press
agent, Roy Tapley pronounces it rath-
er dull reading for fiction.
The Winfield Free Press the other
day contained five full-page adver-
tisements, to say nothing of a lot of
halves and quarters. 1t is evident that
Winfield merchants intend to get some
of the farmers bank deposits.
Reflection of Editor bod Lummax
in the Vfnland Vine: The woman who
became Jealous because fortune snnil-
ed at her husband was not so bad
when you understand all. Fortune in
this case smiled through the eyes of
another woman.
Atchison Globe: Fifteen quail lit in a
North Atchison door yard this morning,
but there was no one around to use a
shotgun; the shotgun artist was down
tempted to try it, but after fooling with
The gun awhile, backed out.
This from the Oakley Graphic
sounds pretty mean: Mrs. Adam APP
pie returned from her visit this week
and she Rugged and kissed Adam and
called him dearfe just like she used
to- Said she was awful homesick.
Wonder If she knows anything about
that hand print fresh from the flour
barrel" on Adams back when he.
came down town a week ago WedneS-
day.
Protest from the Lawrence Jour
nal: The diamond trust is the blow
that almost killed father. Just as the
farmers were marketing their wheat
and preparing to shuck their corn the
prices of diamonds go up. 1t is I'M
fair. Where is our alert president
Where are all the guardians of Amer
lean liberties? Are they all indiffer-
ent to the welfare of the Kansas far
mer? Must he continue to fight his
way unaided?
When a Clyde young man returned
home with his bride from their honey
moon trip the other day, he found that
for the homecoming. A placard on
the front announced the residence of a
newly married couple. The reception
hall had a large portrait of a pair or
lovers kissing, in a border of ola shoes |
and slippers. The windows were very |
snowy with red and white hearts. and |
there were similar appropriate" deco |
rations scattered through the house.
Garden City Telegram: A rather, |
talking to his careless daughter, said: |
81 want to speak to you of your moth |
err 1t may be that you noticed a |
careworn look upon her face. OF
course it has not been brought there
by any act of yours: still it is your
duty to chase it away. L want you to |
get up tomorrow morning and get
breakfast. When your mother comes
and begins to express her surprise, go |
right up to her and kiss her on the
mouth You can't imagine how it will |
her dear face Besides, you
owe her a kiss or two. A long while
ago, when you were little girl, she
kissed you. You were not as attrac-
tive then as you are now. Through
years of childish sunshine and shad-
ows she was always ready to cure, by
the magic of a mothers kiss, the lit
tie, dirty, chubby hands whenever
they We're injured with those first
skirmishes with the rough old world.
