What the Professor Told RaIph Glaze

thank for the position they now hold

out doubt one of the closest obs.ry.
ers. along human nature lines. that
can be found in the baseball business
today.
Ralph Is quite story teller. and
MS yarns are much appreciated nv
the other members OF the Boston
team.
When last in Washington young
Glaze and newspaper man, n friend
OF his, were seated in the lobby of
the hotel where the Hub city hall
players were Staying, and the newspa-
per man happened to mention tho
name of a celebrated Dartmouth Col
legc professor who was teaching Mt
that institution when he. the press
man. used TO attend there n dozen or
more years ago.
The professor was always noted for
his Observation-Disclosures. and when this
trait was recalled to Glaze's attcn-
ton, wide grin overspread his face
ana he said:
why, speking about Professor Y.

him Just before leaving college. He
always appeared to think a whole lot

MRS. TOBIN MOVES ON.
Woman Who Shakes Faith of People
in Human Nature Leaves.

Mrs. Bessie Tobin. the coke and
cigarette fiend and wholesale hard
luck story teller and CRATER, has at
last been forced by the police to leave
town, leaving a trail of petty crimes
behind her and a lot of people who
have had their faith in human nature
badly shaken.
On the 2Sth of last November Mrs
Tobin with her two boys came to
favor the city of Topeka with her So
ciety. No one was able to ever be
quite certain as to whether the lady
was a former citizen of Wichita or
Oklahoma. as her tales did not always
stand the stress of reputation She
worked the different charitable organ
izations for all they would stand, un-
til they found employment for her
self and two boys so that they were
earning the combined sum of more
than So a week and she her board.
She rented furnished rooms of Judge
Growers family at 407 Madison street
Before many weeks it was reported to
the judge that his tenant was selling
his goods to a second hand dealer. She
was arrested and fined $50, but allow
ed to go on the promise not to repeat
her offense.
But reports kept pouring in that the
woman with her pitiful tales and Sor-
rowful eyes was working a strenuous
including an attempt to sell some
goods she purchasing on the INSTALL
ment plan.
At last the patience of the authori-
ties reached its limit and Mrs. Bessie
Tobin was informed that she must say
farewell to our capital city and say it
quick. She took the hint and has
lions, where her stories are not SO well
known.

Long Ride for Five Cents.

The ride out to Vinewood park and
back is as pleasant way in which 10
No matter how hot it is in town. the
ride through the suburbs and stretch
of country to the park is always cool
and refreshing. AS a result OF the re-
duced rate to the park for week days,
placed in force at the beginning of the
present season, a person can get
transfer from any street railway line in
town and ride to the end of the park
line without paying another cent An
other nickel will bring him back and
give him a transfer that will carry
him to any part of Topeka. From the
end of some of the longer lines in
town to the end of the Vinewood line
is easily nine miles. which is quite a
ride to get for five cents.
