smucker on Topeka

Topeka, says Lew Smoker
in the Wichita Eagle us all
swelled IN NJ. Jesserand, the
French ambassador to this coun-
try, stopped off in that town
for thirty minutes and was taken
to see the mansion occupied by
the governor and the home of
Nick Chiles, editor of the Plain
dealer. He was also shown the
paved streets and the curbing.
The Frenchman was surprised to
learn that Topeka had $4,000 pop.
ulation and was but so years
old. He said it looked older.
NJ. Jesserand and his wife Wis
tied the Capital and the Journal
offices and conversed with the
employees, who all speak French
and walk Spanish. He did not
call on the governor, but met
several OF the railroad officials
who were said to have run the
state at times past in a manner
pleasing to themselves. The To-
cal ball team was away from
home and the visitors were great.
" disappointed because they had
heard of the team and wanted
to hear Dick Cooley kick on the
decisions of the umpire. 1t had
been arranged to have the Mo-
docs at the station to welcome th,
party with a song, but this part
OF the programme was dispensed
with at the request of the am
bassador. When he heard of the
ambassadors request, Major Tom
Anderson threatened to wreck thu
train.

Airship Record

Count Zeppelin, with his di-
rigible balloon, Zeppelin II, de.
scended at Goeppingen, Germany,
after a flight of nearly forty hrs,
during which time. he covered a
distance of about 900 miles, and
more than doubled the best pre-
vious record in aviation for both
time and distance.
The descent was made to over.
haul the motor, which was be-
ginning to feel the strain of the
long voyage, procure a fresh sup
ply of benzine, and also thorough.
ly to look over the airShip as the
result of trifling mishap which
occurred a few minutes earlier
when the craft, which was flying
low to give the crowds assembled
underneath good view of il
and its workings, brushed the
upper branches of a tree. The
big balloon itself was found to be
uninjured.

lows: Where the chickens do
scratch, there the worms am. u
No one disputed him.
These bamboo knives will be
