Her Mother Won't Let Her Grow Up.
Dear Margery Doom:
l am a girl Of sixteen. and have a
year and a half more to go to High
School. My mother says that / am too
young to have boys all on me, which
makes me feel dreadfully. as all of
the other girls have boy callers. Some
even go to places and have lovely
times. My mother also makes me wear
my hair in a braid. turned under with
a bow, which makes me look about
fourteen, l think. My dresses are to
my shoe tops. Don't you think ! am
old enough to wear my hair at least
on my neck. and my dresses to my
ankles? Also, am I not old enough to
entertain boys near my own age, and
a little older? Please let me know
what you think, for I am
UNHAPPY.
You silly, silly little girl. Don't you
know that your mother is as wise as
all mothers are, and ma she has
YOU best interests at heart when she
tries to keep you a little girl as long
as she may? Just think of the many
years you'll be grown up. and of the
many times you will wish that you
could be a little girl again, if only for
five minutes. Try to be contented, for
never again will you lave such a
good time as you are now having.
And let the boys alone for another
year or two. If the other girls want
to be silly. and their mothers do not
object, 1t is their own affair.

Eat plenty of flesh-forming food, such
as beans, potatoes, rare beef and lamb,
nuts, milk and butter. Light exercise
and plenty of sleep will produce flesh.
Nine hours sleep out Of t~wenty-four is
not too much, If you want to build up

pure olive oil is also recommended as a
means of gaining flesh.

Promise Suit Settled.
Co mprOmlSed on Eve of Trial in
Federal Court.
PAYS A SMALL SUN.
Amount Believed to Be About
$4,000.
Action in Court Promised to Be
Sensational.
PAYS A SMALL SUN.

The breach of promise suit brought
by Miss Lena Packard of Los Angeles,
against Edgar c. Arnold, the promi-
nent Topeka wholesale druggist, was
compromised today by the payment to
the plaintiff of a sum said to be not
in excess of $4,000. The suit for $685.
900 damages which was started last
April in the United States circuit
court will be dismissed next week.
The case was set for trial at the
November term of the court which be-
gins next week.
L. S. Ferry, one of the firm of Ferry
& Doran. which represented Mr.. Ar
mold in the case, said today:
1.-THE case will be compromised An
announcement of the terms of COM
promise at this time would be prema-
ture. The whole arrangement will be
in shape for announcement next week.
anticipate that the case will be dis
missed at that time"
There is no danger of the COM
promise falling through"
mo, I think not. 1 guess it is set
tied" replied Judge Ferry.
Judge z. T. Hazen, attorney for
Miss Packard, was not in his office to-
day, and his statement concerning the
case could not be secured.
The sensational adventure of ed
Arnold in going to Los Angeles to
marry the beautiful Miss Packard and
then failing to come home with his
bride, was the talk of the town last
fall The approaching marriage of
Mr.. Arnold to Miss Packard was an
nounced in the papers, he landed in
Los Angeles all right, and then appar
emily changed his mind and decided
that he didn't want to get married af-
ter all.
Before leaving Los Angeles, Mr..
Arnold wrote a note to his fiancee and
haT nn en- n Nv hfaT
and would not carry out his contract
to marry her. The bride-elect was
broken hearted, and her family were
1ncensed. Arnold came back to To-
Gus shock of some kind, and was sick
at his home for some time He has
never given any explanation of why
he failed to marry Miss Packard, ex-
cept that in his brief note stating that
he wasn't worthy of her.
1t wasn't very long after Arnold
came back to Topeka that Miss Pack
ards attorneys brought the damage
suit against him for breach of con-
tract.
Miss Packard visited Mrs. George P.
Ashton in Topeka some years ago, and
1t was while here that she met Mr..
Arnold and the love affair commenced.
Since she was deserted by Mr.. Arnold
on the eve of the wedding she has not
been in Topeka.

wealth. His father was A. J. Arnold.
who was a leading Democrat of the
state, and served as postmaster of To-

Ed Arnold, the defendant in the
case, when seen by a State Journal
reporter this afternoon, maintained his
characteristic silence in regard to the
settlement of his case. IT do not wish
to make a statement at this time in
regard to the case. If there is any
thing else you want to talk about, we

Justice of Peace.

H. S. Whittekind, one of the old SOL
der dependents in the Pat Coney suits,
is constructively in Jail. He was sent
there for contempt of court last ev-
ening, by A. ]. Bollinger, a justice
of the peace, before whom he had been
cited to give evidence.
P. H. Coney, ex-commander of the
Grand Army of Kansas, brought two
suits against Whittekind and others,
because it is alleged that they circula-
ted defamatory circular against him
when he ran for national commander
of the G. A. R. The cases, one for
amages,-civil,- and another charging
Hbel,-a criminal prosecution, based on
the same publication, have been extern
sively aired in the newspapers during
the past IS months. In the civil suit,
he has attempted to force the old
soldier defendants before a justice of
the peace, there to tell all they knew.
Coddington, one of the defendants, re-
fused to appear. was cited for con-
tempt by the embryo court, and is still
at large. Whittekind appeared, but re-
fused to testify, claiming that the al
legged dispositions concerning the civil
action brought by Coney, was simply
a Fishing party organized to snare evil
dence to be used in the criminal prose-
cution.'
When the old man fared up in the
foregoing language, Bollinger. Justice
of the peace, cited him for contempt
and fined him $40. which he refused to
pay. Bollinger called his constable and
deported Whittekind to the county Jail,
Sheriff WiIkerson refused to lock him
up, and he was released. although con-
structively in Jail at the present time,
and he has brought habeas corpus pro-
ceedingS to release himself from GUS

upon complaint of P. H. Coney. The
other defendants are Ed G. Moore,

Strain of near Washington is suing for
a divorce from Thomas R. Strain, q

has blackened her eyes, kicked her
shins. forced her to care for the
stock and do all the chores about the
