the next morning quiet settles over the
place.
Blankville. Kan, April 81, '09.
Dear State Journal and North To-
peka People:
The following letter which 1 re-
cetved before starting out to make my
deliveries this morning is both class
ical and explanatory:
stereoptical agent dear Sir: After
sed / would take them Pikshures
the babfe got six and it took all of
the money for to pay the doktor and
so Will not have any money to pay
for them with and / am very Sorry if
you will please call the order off and
not call again Will be under great
Judgements to you ---
This was not very encouraging as
start for the days work but l can not
complain as to the result of the rest
of the day However. one customer
tried to get a reduction, saying that
had told him that the views cost
six cents apiece instead of sixteen
and two-thirds cents. Then he gave
himself away by adding. 1.-THE last
agent here a year ago sold them that
way any way He said he was SELL
ing them at half price" l was kind.
but firm, and stuck to the original
quotation. 1 think l sold him two
views if not three.
At the house across the way, the
woman gave me an order on her own
responsibility for a scope and a dozen
views - amounting to $3.50 - the
scope cost ninety cents. She intended
to make a present of them to her hus-
band for his birthday. However, her
lord and master who was at nome
when I called again. informed me
that he would "see them pictures in
- and you also before he would
let his wife pay any thing for ''sech
truck" 1 tried to- Jolly him, but to
no avail. He said / was getting
rather windy and I had better spend
my wind outside the house. I acted
on the suggestion and went on. I
heard that the same man was being
sued for labor debt. My sympathies
are with the plaintiff.
AS was yesterdays experience L
found that the scenery and comics
were more popular when 1t came to
peoples investing money in the views,
than any thing else. The young
woman who was going to Jerula-
hemon on her wedding tower" and
was interested in the picture on that
account went into ecstacies over the
courtship and marriage set ana
bought that instead of the views of
the ancient city.
L found that where children were
in the home. pictures OF dogs dogs ,, ana
fellow thought that a picture of
pony was that of his own and was
wild with delight when his father
bought the view If the rest of my
delivering does as we'll as it has the
past two days I will be satisfied. In
some respects it is not as hard as the
canvassing but of course there Is con-
siderable worry connected with 1t. L
find that / am more tired after a days
delivery than I am after the same
time spent in canvassing. OF course
there is the heavy suit case full or
views to carry when I deliver. L
have another day of delivery before
me. Good bye, Z. M. H.

Charles Hurff, who has been conduct
ing small farm near Medford, left his
wife last week. The farm adjoining that
of Hurff was occupied by man named
Haines and the neighbors thought that
Hurff took considerable interest in the
place. Haines finally moved to Camden
and 1t was thought that all chance for
gossip had been silenced. But Hurff
evidently could not give up 80 easily.
He told his wife he had something better
than farming In sight so he sold the farm.
Mrs. Hurff went to church one Sunday
morning and on her return her husband
could not be found. He had packed his
clothing and left. 1t was some time be
fore the wife got any clue to his where
abouts, but she heard last week that he
had. been seen with the Haines woman.
With Hurff went So, 300. the proceeds
of the sale of the farm. His wife went to
Camden and asked the aid of the detective
department In discovering her husband.
She did not seem to care so much about
getting him back as to make him support
her. She was very determined not to
stop her search until she had the man safe
in custody.

The finance committee rendered another
report. This time 1t was on the appropri-
alton for bridges, In which fund there re-
mains but 50, 798.42. The members were
cautioned to keep this small balance in
mind when the subject of bridges came
up.
Mr.. Donnelly asked about some bills
that had been presented by engineers for
surveying stone roads. but which had
been laid over for investigation by spec
ial committee. Director Horner called
MIR. Hilton to the chair and Mr. Donnelly
wanted to know whether the committee or
the bills had been lost in the shuttle. Not
a member of the committee was present
SO the question remained unanswered.
Mr. Donnelly was about to ask some
more questions when member moved to
adjourn. The member from Florence
wanted to say something, but Mr., Hilton
ruled that motion to adjourn is always
in order and not debatable and on putting
the question the adjournment was ordered
by large majority.
Before leaving, however, 1t was decided
that So, $50 be spent on the Broad street
bridge, Burlington, and that $3.50 be ex-
pended for new culvert in Florence.
The following bills were ordered paid:
