He called her darling.
She called him a dear.
And so they were married
The first of the year.
BY April the first
At his wisdom she scoffed;
She called him a silly.
He called her a soft.
BY Fourth of July
They were growing quite cool.
She called him a donkey,
He called her fool.
The gales of September
Blew in from the east.
He called her devil
She called him a beast.
And now the blooms faded
And dim is the gloss.
She calls him the master,
He calls her the boss

company will appear at the Grand to-
night in the double roll of Cavalleria
Rusticana and I Paghacci. The COM
pany carries 100 members and travels
in a special train. Two carloads of spe-

the only appearance of grand opera in
Topeka this season and is sure to prove
the musical and operate treat of the
year. The seat sale has been fairly
good.

Another thing which marks these
boys as different from other boys is
that their hair is combed properly
and they are neatly dressed. 1t is
hard on these boys to miss the skat-
ing season, but there are sacrifices
which even an embryo politician must
make in the cause Of right and good
government. Some day, perchance
they survive the ravages of green ap-
pies and mumps, these boys may sit in
the High Place and offer bills for the
damming of Cow creek or the vacation
of lots, streets and alleys in Lawrence.

The following special dispatch from
Baltimore, Md, is of much interest
in Topeka: Cornelius NJ. Hoult, vice
president of the Dime Savings bank
and who for years was associated in
the coal business with the late Major
Alexander Shaw and the latter's
brother, the late John K. Shaw, is re-
ceiving the congratulations of his init
mate friends upon his approaching
marriage to Mrs. J. B. Bartholomew
of Topeka The wedding will take
place in New York city next Saturday
and Bishop Warren of the Methodist
Episcopal church will perform the
ceremony. Only close friends have
been informed of the wedding SO far.
Mr.. Hoult's decision to marry again is
the result of little romance. His
first wife, who was Miss Hutson and a
sister of the wife of the late Major
Shaw, was native of West Virginia
where Mr.. Hoult also lived before he
came to Baltimore. He knew Mrs.
Bartholomew, then young girl in
those early days. and they We're great
friends. Each married and lost sight
of the other for some years. When
the Methodist conference was held in
Baltimore last May Mrs. Bartholomew
came here to attend it. Mr.. Hoult
met her again and the romance began.

The Garden of the Gods.

From the Colorado Springs Gazette.
Even Pixies Peak itself is not more
famed throughout the world than the
Garden of the Gods. Now that this
wonderful natural park, with its gro
tesque and marvellous rock formations,
visited annually by thousands of tourists
from all parts of the globe and known
broadcast as one of Americas seven won
ders. is to become public property. the
city of Colorado Springs is. indeed, for
tunate in receiving the ownership of one
of it's most valued assets. Ever since

an associate of Gen. William ]. Palmer.
purchase, 1t has been free to the world.
No tax has ever been LEVIED upon the
visitor, attracted from afar to view the
scenic wonders of this region, nor upon
the townspeople when they: desired to
spend a day within the confines of this
geological park. Mr.. Perkins gener-
osity In this respect won him. years ago,
the respect and friendship of this COM
munity.
Too much praise cannot be given Mr.
Perkins and his heirs for their generosity
in presenting the Garden of the Gods to
the city of Colorado Springs. In every
way 1t Is an act prompted by the highest
public spiritedness. an act which should
make the memory of Mr.. Perkins and
the loyalty of his children in carrying
out his oft-expressed wishes, dear to the
people of Colorado Springs. In dollars
and cents it would be impossible to place
an estimate upon the value of a piece of
property such as the Garden of the
Gods. Managed for profit it could be
made to yield to the owner an annual
revenue of thousands of dollars To the
city of Colorado Springs it Is worth many
times this, for the Garden of the Gods is
magnet which attracts to this vicinity
tens of thousands of sightseers.

Champion Whip Cracker.
From the Strand Magazine.


Mr. Fred Lindsay can WELD with a most
marvellous display Of dexterity the Aus
tra'ian stock whip. The fact of being
able to crack whip does not appear. on
the face Of it, very extraordinary feat
but the Australian stock whip is a very
different article to the ordinary whip. the
stock being eighteen inches and the thong
twenty-four feet in length. At distance
Of twenty-five feet Mr.. Lindsay can cut a
cigarette in half. the cigarette during the
operation being held in the mouth OF an
attendant. Other of Mr.. Lindsay's feats
are the extinguishing Of a lighted candle:

cutting it in half: taking the ash from a
cigar while the weed is being smoked
and cutting an ordinary wine bottle in
two Yet dangerous as his weapon may
appear. Mr.. Lindsay can make it perfectly
harmless. To prove the perfect control
he has over the whip, Mr.. Lindsay will
fog man with apparently terrific force,
vet the man is not injured In any way; he
will tie the thong round a mans arm a
feat which, if the judgment We're to err in
the slightest. would cut the arm in half.
Then he can wind the thong round a
woman's neck. but the woman would not
feel it and no marks would be visible.
AL of which performances show that Mr.
Lindsay is just what he claims to be-the
champion whip-cracker of the world.

Blessings of Living in the Country.

From Philadelphia Record
lone of the great blessings of living in
the country is that We can see the sky
and the moon and the stars and the sun
set" said a woman al a social gathering
in the New Century Club the other day.
She lives in beautiful country place in
the Chelton hills all the year round. I'VE
have had some wonderful sunsets in the
past few weeks" she continued. Il have
known friends to spend afternoons in art
galleries looking at pictures when they
might have been out in the country watch
ing a far more beautiful sky painting by
the hand of nature. Then you who live
in the city never enjoy the moonlight.
And you never see the stars at all in the
citys glare of electric. lights. Neither do
you have the interesting occupation OF
watching the sky and anticipating weather
changes by the clouds. l know that most
city residents think the country dreary,
uninteresting waste in the winter time,
but we suburbanite don't consider II that
way The earth is rather bleak when 1t
isn't covered by a white mantle of snow
but the winter sky always presents an in
teresting if not fascinating study, and
seldom a day goes by that We don't have
charming sunrise or sunset.

The New Woman in China.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The women of Canton and other large
Chinese cities have stepped out into af-
fairs for good and have refused to be
the unseen and unheard members of the
household that Chinese teaching has di-
rected for ages that they should be.
Schools are gradually extending among
the girls. private enterprise carrying
western knowledge where public instruc-
ton as yet fails to reach. Newspapers
for women are springing up in several
OF the larger towns, and the women are
to be seen moving about in the streets
with much greater freedom than hitherto.
But step has been taken in Canton
that for China Is far more significant.
Some Chinese who had been TO Burmah
and had observed that the women there
are successful traders and industrial man
ayers. on returning to Canton decided to
try how Chinese women could handle an
enterprise of their own.
The outcome is that a restaurant has
been opened In suburb OF Canton with
out single man on the premises. 1t is
a large place. run and controlled N every
particular by women, and already it is
attracting an extensive circle of ladies to
enjoy it's comforts and the chat that &C
