In the course. of the conversation the
tinker remarked that he had never
seen the king, but would like to do So
His majesty replied that he knew
where the kings party was stopping
and would take the tinker to that
place. The tinker asked how he
would know the king. James told
him that when the king approached.
every one else in the party would
take off their hats.
The king then led the way to the
royal hunting party. As the two
came in sight of the hunters all but
the king ad tinker uncovered. The
tinker then realized the Identity of
his companion and begged for mercy
He thought he would be severely pun
ished for having been so familiar with
the royal parsonage. However, King
James only laughed and gave the
tinker enough money to buy out the
inn where they had met.
Since that time the tavern has been
known as "The King and Tinker"
The coat of arms of the hotel bears a
representation of the king and tinker
drinking together. Mr.. Nau says the
building is still in an excellent state of
preservation.

When the "anti-lob" bill came to
the senate, fresh from the incubator,
1t was observed that a certain clause
therein excepted lobbying for measures
of state wide interest" It was OBJ
served also that the most persistent
lobbyists on the floor were the attpr-
ney general and his assistants. 1t was
noticeable also, that while those Off
Gals buzzed around the senate at all
hours, they never approached Uncle
Vinton Stillings. the veteran senator
from Leavenworth.
Senator StlllingS never Scuttled ship
or cut a throat. but otherwise he is
something like Mr.. Byrons fictitious
characterize is mildest hammered
man. 1t would be perfectly safe for
the legal department which caused the
arrest of the senator on a charge of
owning property. to approach him.
Regardless of any wrong done to him,
he would meet the LOB" with courtesy
Malice and resentment have no place
in his system.

support of this contention many of his
employees will be called to the stand
and ii is said that Gustavus Pabst of
Milwaukee, who married a sister of
Mr.. Lemp, will testify in his brother

The session OF court began with a con-
tinuance of servants testimony as to
conditions in the Lemp home.
Succeeding witnesses told of the de-
fendant's career as man about

Gus sections of the city at late hours.
1t took nearly an hour to read a
deposition by Pearl Richey of Chicago.
She testified that although she was
helpless on a sick bed in Chicago she
consented to come to St. Louis with a
man she had never seen before, so she
could give her deposition.
She and her physician came to St.
Louis on tickets furnished by the mys-
ferrous man. Here she was taken to
a hospital, where she gave the deposit

the alleged presence of Lemp at vari-
Gus places where she had resided in

The deposition of Jacob Rosenstein
of Chicago was read. He is a woman's
tailor, formerly in business in St. Louis.

OPENS new CRUSADE.
County Attorney Schenck Makes More
War ON Drug Stores.

County Attorney John Schenck has
renewed his attack on the joint drug
stores from heretofore untried
standpoint and expects by this means
to greatly reduce the sales of liquor
from this source. He has filed a COM
plant against E. D. Brenker of North
Topeka and asked that his permit be
knowingly sold liquor which was not
to be used for medicinal or mechan-
ical'' purposes as required by law.
Probate Judge Schoch has cited
Brenker to appear before him on the
18th of February and show cause why
his permit should not be surrendered.
The complaint against the North To-
peka druggist is the first of series
which will be made by the county at
torney and it is predicted that there
will be a wonderful thinning out of
joint drug stores within the next thirty
days.
In the past when a thirsty one has
wanted a drink of liquor or a bottle
of beer all that it has been necessary
for him to do was to sign his name
to an application blank and his wants
of the illegal liquor sales made in To-
peka are charged to colds or grip
with liberal sprinkling of ''rheuma-
tism'' signs.
The crusade has been commenced in
earnest and County Attorney John
Schenck and Probate Judge Schoch
are working in perfect harmony and
illegal sales of liquor in Topeka in
mind. In the meantime the whisky
selling druggists have taken their cue
and the purchase of liquor is not as
easy matter as 1t was month or six
weeks ago.
