A woman called at the Pauck home
| in Ottawa recently and left a little
| girl to be looked after for a short
time. She has not returned for it
but has enough interest in the child
| to CAN up the PauckS occasionally by
telephone to inquire how the child is
getting along and how it likes it's new
home.
This is the first time in the history
| of Montgomery county when either po-
litical party nominated anybody for
/ justice of the supreme court of Kan
sas." says the Tyro Herald, in an at
tempt to inform the public that Jo-
seph P. Rossiter, Democratic nominee
for the supreme bench, is the first
| Montgomery county man to be nomi-
| mated for that place.
Nothing could be more indicative of
the prosperity and good feeling which
| predominates here now than the re-
markable response to the request for
funds with which to build new
Methodist church. When a congrega-
ton will give $4,000 in fifteen min
utes, it is a pretty fair indication that
the members are satisfied to live in
the community the rest of their lives
and raise their children here.-Leav-

At Hutchinson in 1S96-that was
the year Bryan really carried Kansas
tho Democrats held a rally a few
| the speaking at the auditorium the
Bryan men paraded the streets and
the procession of wagons, buggies, men
on horseback and men on foot ex-
tended from the bridge across the
| Kansas river to the old Santa Fe de-
pot The other day the Bryan men
| held another rally and the News says
that 81 men marched in the process
sion.
The residence of Scott E. Whine, a
| Wichita banker, who skipped the
country last winter, was sold at auc-
ton recently for $4,000. 1t is one
of the most gorgeous houses in Kan
sas, and shortly before absconding,
| Whine spent as much as the place
brought at the sale in fixing it up. 1t
was bought by an ice dealer and the
wise old Emporia Gazette remarks
that only ice men and laundry proprie-
tors can afford such luxuries. Too
true.
| In the Journal the Salina sage makes
this defense of his quarrel with the
neighbors: Frankly. I don't like
neighbors. I would great deal rather
there were none were such a thing
possible. All through my life some
times to a much greater degree than
at others, the neighbors have caused
me trouble. Formerly when I wanted
to sleep at night the spooning couples
next door would keep me awake.
Later, when l worked at night and
wanted to sleep in the morning the
children kept me awake. On one oc-
casion a beautiful and talented young
lady next door persisted in cultivating
her voice, and began operations at 5
o'clock In the morning. There has
most of my life been something about
the neighbora I did not like. When
was youngster 1 could lie out of
the average scrape so far as my par
ents were concerned, but some neigh
Dor invariably got me into trouble.
| On one occasion l remember I played
| hockey from school. Everything
went lovely until after the evening
meal had been finished, a neighbor
girl came in after the milk with which
their table was supplied by my folks
| q MIXED the cow. Her eyes sought
mo out and she gurgled, Why wasn't
you at school today. Billy Small got
a licking. Frankly I don't like neigh
