headwear, will need to exert them

Goods company in their millinery de-
partment on the second floor, are

Street car vignettes: Every seat was
occupied when the car stopped at Sixth
street for another load. The new pas
sengers were all men except one, mid
die aged woman who in response to the
conductors request crowded to the for
ward end of the car. Three men were
l. e,g.J ~ fr0r Of h
she stopped. Two of them were pros
porous looking, well dressed, In appear
ance suggesting the well bred man or
the world. The average Topekan could
have recognized them and called them
by name for they are of the class we
love to designate as prominent in bust
ness and society,"" The third was
younger man, day laborer, as MS
dress and the working mans tin dinner
pail which he carried testified. He look
ed tired, too for he was going home
from his days work. When the woman
came down the aisle her arms laden
with packages, stopped in front or the
three men because it was the end Oh the
car and she could go no farther, and
reaching for a strap, which one of the
three men got up do you think? 1t was
neither of the two prosperous looking
business men, let me tell you that Ihey

1t was the young laborer with the tin
dinner pail going home from his days
work who rose and offered the woman
his seat.
A pretty young woman, a former To-
peka girl who since her marriage mas
lived in Kansas City but who visits here
a great deal was on the car coming
from one of the railway stations not
long ago. The car was filled with men
when she got on and number or them
rose promptly as she entered TO ofer
her a seat, for she is very attractive,
the sort of woman whom all men de-
light to serve. A block or SO farther on
more passengers boarded the car
among them a working man whose
naturally detected and discouraged ap-
pearance was heightened by the fact
that he bore than-in mans arms-ln-
congruous and pathetic burden, a little
baby. He was also struggling with
large unwieldly telescope. But Wnen
he entered the car none of the men VINO
had been so eager to give a seat to the
pretty young woman seemed to see him. |
They stared through or over him or out !
the window as he put the telescope on
the floor and shifted his human bundle |
to another shoulder. The young woman |
looked at him alphabetically and at
the other men enquiringly and as they |
still remained oblivious of his pred1ca-
ment she rose promptly and ot1ered MN
her own seat. He demurred but she |
was smiIingly insistent and as she stood |
looking for a strap the other men sit
ing by glanced sheepishly at one anoth-
er and then haltingly rose and sneakeo
(there is no other word for tD to the
rear platform.

A party of girls and young chaps
were out in a big touring car the other
night; and as they approached a pro-
hfhition thirst parlor one of the girls
was discovered with her tongue hang
ing out of her mouth, so the man who
was driving the car drew up to the
curb and they gave their orders. When
it came time to pay the boy the host

one who never carried anything less
