BAILEY THE CITIZEN.
a second term for governor in 1904 it
was humil1ating in the extreme, and
the injustice of it must have weighed
heavily upon his sensitive nature; but
now, after all is over. looking back over
the stormy past and contemplating the
peacefuI future, as he doubtless often
does, he must thank the fates for the
apparent misfortunes that overlook
him. Gov. Bailey has one of the finest
and most valuable farms in Kansas,
section OF Nemaha county land that
from appearances might have been
taken from the very center of the Gar
den of Eden. He is practically the
owner of the Baileyville bank. He owns
a good block of stock in the Atchison
bank, the institution to which he now
devotes his energies. It is one of the
biggest and strongest banks in Kansas.
With all these interests, with an ele-
CANT home and a charming wife, he can
we'll look with complacency on the trou-
bles, the criticisms and the chickering's
of those who have been actively in the
political arena since his retirement.
Gov. Bailey is today, as he has been for
more than twenty years, a model. pub
l1c-spir1ted, progressive. big-heaFted cit

HER CREDENTIALS.
Mrs. Ida Won Claussen. an Amer
lean sojourning in Stockholm, applied
to Charles H. Graves. United states
minister to Sweden. to be presented to
the king of Sweden. He refused to
present her, and Mrs. Won Claussen,
after making a fuss over there, has
arrived in New York to lay her griev-
ances before the president. Among
the credentials which she presented
are doctors bill. showing that he re-
moved 1900 marks worth of ap-
pendix from her; letter from
Frenchman saying he couldn't live
ing cards of prominent people in
France, and letter from New York
trust company about her account.
These credentials differ little with
those used in little country town. In
Coolidge woman has a piece of cut
glass or two, a palm in the parlor
window. two or three pretty dresses, a
recipe for fudge and time to attend
is all right OF course a surgical
operation helps. but it is not abb
solutely necessary.
We don't see how Minister Graves
Will be able to square himself for
sighting a woman who has had 1900
marks worth of appendix removed
from her,-Atchison Globe.
