position.

The announcement the official doc
ument which will bring into existence

vile features which are now being

seeing.
for concerts during the afternoon and

ternate i'll distributing music. 1t is
more than likely that pipe organ con-
certS will be arranged for the day and
night meetings in addition to the mu-
sic of the band and orchestras.
I'VE have the promise of number
of excellent attractions said G. w.
Banter. secretary of the Exposition
company. "and have line on num-
Der of others equally as good which
we hope to secure. We have many en-
cOuraging letters from exhibitors and
already considerable space has been
reserved by out of town manufactur-
ers and dealers. However, the Mid
winter exposition next month will be
made up largely of home products
and exhibits and those of the state.
which ought to be classed as home
products; though many of them will
come from other Kansas cities than
Topeka. We have arranged for fifty
two booths and more than seventy-five
per cent of this numbe have already
been engaged so it behooves Topeka ex-
hibitors who have not reserved space
to make their arrangements at the
earliest possible moment"

MINISTER A TRIFLE MIXED UP.
Consequently There Was an Awkward
Perhaps in Funeral Grafton.

1t was at the funeral of a man who
had left his young and attractive help
meet a widow for the third time. At
the time of his death their clergyman
was away on European trip, and in
this emergency the Rev. DR.. Blank
was called upon.
A neighbor instructed him hastily
as to the admirable qualities of the
deceased, his benevolence, piety and
kind disposition, and gave him vasi-
GUS points as to his family relations.
During the funeral discourse no cut
s'der would have suspected that the
clergyman had not been a lifelong
friend of the dead man. When, how
ever, he came to mention the widow
in his prayer, it was evident that his
data in regard to her had become a
trifie confused He said
"And now we commend to thy care
this widowed handmade, who has been
bereaved again and again and again.
Then hesitating an instant, he added:
And perhaps again."
