| A corkin' good-lookin' Milwaukee man
| is in town for a few days on business
| and the town men have been discussing
very seriously the best method to adopt
| in such an alarming situation. One fac
ton was for keeping him in seclusion
so none of the girls could even get a
glimpse of him and hustling him out of
town as soon as possible. But the
Brothers Wisenstein said this would
never do. He was dangerous enough,
already, they averred without the addi-
tional advantage of opposition from the
town men. The girls were sure to see
him, anyway-Topeka is too small, the
girls too sharp-sighted and the man too
big and handsome for them to hope to
keep him in obscurity so the best course
was to take a. big chance and give all
the girls an opportunity to meet him.
The Wisensteins won out in the argument
so the town men will do all they can
to make it pleasant for the visitor just
to prove that they aren't jealous. The
Topeka man who will take him to the
VineWOOd dance Friday night does not
pretend to be moved altogether by al
truistic motives but admits that he
hopes to derive some personal benefit
and distinction from the visitors COM
pany, on the same principle that causes
business to pick up for the hostess of an
attractive girl. He says he expects to
be fairly popular himself Friday night
and that lot of girls who ordinarily are
troubled with myopia and can't see him
ha11 he CT do -,
will be able to recognize him clear
across the pavilion.

Mr.. Fay Thompson of Cleveland, O.,
who was formerly a travelling passen-
ger agent of the Rock Island with
headquarters in Topeka and who, al
tn ough he lived here only about a year |
made many friends and was one of
the most popular young men in town, |
passed through Topeka yesterday with |
a party of railway officials in private |
car on their way from the CITY of |
Mexico to the east. Two pretty To-
peka girls met the train at the station
here and the other men in his party |
came out on. the platform of their car
and ''jollied" them. They told the |
girls that two girls had come to the
train at every station along the line to
see Thompson.
