Mr.. NJ. F. Amrine, the editor of the
Council Grove Guard, has a legisla-
tive committee clerkship, and writes
home to his paper some interesting
stuff about the legislature and other
doings in the capital city. Mrs. Am
rine is IN Topeka with her husband
sound so much like a woman'S COM
ments that she is under suspicion, too
especially as she is a very clever news
paper writer whose work as editor of
the Louisville Tyre, a weekly newspa-
per published in Pottawatomie county,
before her marriage attracted consid-
cradle attention. Mrs. Amrine was
Miss Mabel Chilcott of Louisville, and
is very pretty and attra ctive young
woman. Following are excerpts from
the Topeka letter in the Council Grove
Guard:
Most any day when the sun shines,
you can see a mass of long hair
streaming down from window stills on
the side of the Copeland hotel from
the street. Connected with the hair
is woman with her knees on the
floor and her neck hooked over the
window casing.
One Of the sights this week was
O woman on Kansas avenue followed
by pugnaciouS dog wearing a gold
ornamented collar and an enormous
bow of four inch pale blue taffeta rib
bon on the back of his neck.
So far the prettiest girls we have
seen here are a brunette in the glove
