Il
Some things about the stubns ram
ilv one can't help liking. For IN
stance this as related by the Hoiton
recorder: They do say, down az
topeka that the Hochs got the pig
head, considerably during the time
tbev held once. Although they came
from a small town and were in very
moderate circumstances when GOV
amor Hoch was elected, they insisted
an a large amount Of ceremony at
the governors house. Every time
ono 81 the neighbors ran in to Dor
row an egg or cup Of sugar she
had to 90 into the reception room
and send up her card. But tne
lstubbs family, who are wealthy anc
came from town OF some social pre-
tensions, are different. When tne
lpeople go to make their first cans
Itbey are invited to tae their things
Ioff and join the family circle aroun'
tba FIRE place. Perhaps the Hoci
manner may have suited the ultra Gu
glass set, but the stubbs way please
the real people both of Topeka an
the state much better"
