When it comes to a question of bril-
liant managerial ability you will have
to give it to one of the Topeka sum-
mer widowers. A friend who owns an
automobile invited him and two other
chaps to attend a racing meet in a
neighboring town and they made the
trip in the machine. They had not been
in town an hour before they had copied
out two Of the bellies of the village and
had made an engagement to take them
to the races. They drove up to their
house where the S. W. doubled on the
Alphonse and CASTOR roles. grabbed the
girl of his choice and proceeded, with
the manners of a born leader to run the
party. He seated the Other Girl beside
his host (who owned the machine and
had to be kept in good humor), put
this girl in the tonneau, took a place be-
side her, and gracefully waved the 9TH
ar falsa To he hi of n
er side, with the words, Fred, you may
sit on Toms lap" But when you hear
who the other chaps were you will agree
that 1t served them right and that the
Born Leaders only mistake was in let
ting them ride in the same machine
with a girl he wanted TO keep to him
self. You will admit that if you should
ever have the honor of managing
Personally Conducted excursion like that
you would say, Fred, you and Tom may
walk" When you're dealing with dan
gerous rivals take no chances.
