Miss Viva Agatha Brown, a Topeka
girl, who is visiting in Maryland, gives
the following interesting account of a
fox hunt in which she participated:
1t was an ideal day for the hunt.
The sun was partially hidden by feecy
clouds and a soft breeze blew during
most OF the day.
The party consisted of six horse
men and twenty-five hounds. The
start was made at o'clock in the
morning and we took to the woods
just north of the house. On emerging
from these we struck across the fields
and meadows till we came to Ball
Hill pOpuar hunting ground in the
vicinity
Two of the party Immediately took
to the woods with the hounds and in
the course of twenty minutes half
an hour, the dogs were heard barking
in the distance and we knew fox
had been started.
Suddenly away to the southwest we
saw him skim the ground just skirting
the wood, with Hobo and Dixie Girl,
(hounds) not 25 feet behind Our
horses knew what was up. Every
nerve was tuned to the highest ten
sion and when the fox appeared we
let them go. Away we flew, up hill
and down, over streams and fences. 1t
was a beautiful chase and we would
have come out victorious if the fox
had not taken to plowed ground,
which caused the hounds to lose the
scent But we did not lose courage.
The hounds were fresh yet and it was
only o'clock in the morning.
We turned our energies in another
direction. We were resting upon the
top of the hill when we again heard
the bark of the hounds and Just on
the south of the woods appeared the
fox, followed closely by Juliet, alone.
Across the fields they ran with the
horsemen behind
We soon came to farm house and
the fox made a direct line for the or
chard at the rear. We all shot
through and the chase was on in earn
est. Across hill and field we sped
until we reached a clearing. The sun
had begun to shine and the fox was
showing signs of exhaustion. In the
course of few minutes Juliet had

Miss Anna Marie NeIIis.

Nellis, not alone because of the posi-
ton which the Nellis and McAfee Cher
mother's) families. which are among
the oldest in Kansas. holds but also
because of her varied tastes, broad in
terests and activities. She knows every
body and is interested in everything
and although for the past ten years
she has Travelled much of the time and
keeps more closely in touch with To-
peka people and affairs than some of
the chronic stay-athomes
Miss Nellis is a decided beauty of an
individual type and she is unquestion-
ably the cleverest girl in Topeka. She
finished her education in Europe where
she studied in Germany and France for
three years, has been abroad three or
four times since and two years ago
made a tour of the world going with
one of the congressional parties to the
Philippines, from there to Japan, China,
India and the other Oriental countries
and on around the globe. She speaks
six languages, is finished pianist, and
is mistress of the rather unusual ac-
complishment of whistling, which she
does so cleverly that she has had a
number of offers to go on the profess
sional stage. She is a brilliant CONVEX
sationalist and a remarkably success
full hostess and during her winters at
home Topeka has come nearer to hav-
ing salon than it probably ever will
again, for Miss Nellis enjoys the I'M
common distinction, in provincial
town, of being able to bring all sorts
OF people together regardless of social
cliques and factions, and making them
like it.
In her extensive travels Miss NeIIis
has made an unusual and valuable col
lection of bizarre jewelry and orna-
ments, bric-a-brac. tapestries, and 9TH
er belongings. She has some wonder
full old rings, necklaces and bracelets,
some, the gifts of Oriental princes and
princesses at whose courts she has been
presented. The Queen of Bhopal, one
of the native rulers of India, has spe-
cial copies of her official reports pub
lished for Miss Nellis. She owns auto
graph posters done by the famous
Mucha, whom she met in Paris, and
probably has more literary. and artis-
tic lions on her list of acquaintance
than any other woman in Kansas.
But everybody in Topeka knows all
this about Miss Nellis. anyway, and
what they will be asking is What
about the man?" Mr.. Phillips is a
capitalist, we'll known in the North
west where he has large property in
terests. Like Miss Nellis he is devo-
ted to travel and has been something
of a globe-trotter. They plan to spend
the summer in Seattle where Mr. Phil
lipps owns a beautiful house which will
be their home. but they expect to spend
next winter in Egypt. Their wedding.

DEBS HIS SPONSOR, USING
HARSH WORD "LiE" IN REPLY

ATTACK ON SOCIALISM,.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May -
Listen to the hot and bitter words
of defeated American presidential
candidate directed at his late and
successful adversary:
Theodore Roosevelt's attack on
socialism, his first contributions to
Outlook, was silly and his state
ments were palpably false. His ar
gument is the same old, threadbare
objection that has been parroted by
capitalist apologists and retainers
for 20 years. He shows that he
knows nothing of the subject. His
charge that socialism approves free
love is wantonly malicious. He
condemns a great party because
one member of it divorced his wife
and married another woman. Mr.
Roosevelt's principal political pre-
ceptor, an eminent republican, at
the very time that Roosevelt sat
at his feet, was carrying on a
liason which eliminated in a pub
