Community Comment.

Donated without provocation:
Out of the mists rise visions of hope,
Visions of hope
Visions that taunt and beckon
And in to the mists
Which seem to grope,
Which seem to grope,
Go the hopes on which We reckon
A rift in the cloud,
And the sun breaks through,
The sun breaks through
Then its light is quickly fading.
But pattern is made
By the bright and dark,
BY the bright and dark
Complete with its white and shading

WHAT he STANDS FOR.
Announces Opening of a New
Campaign.
Christian Associations Must
Raise $4,000 in Nine Days.

Have you seen the sign of the
white elephant" The big figure Of a
white elephant 10 by 25 feet on top

nues, was the first intimation that the
people Of Topeka had of the joint
$4,000 campaign which is to be
waged October 27 to November by
the combined forces of the Young
Women's and Young Mems Christian
associations of the city.
Some of the most influential people
in Topeka are behind the movement
and at meeting held last night at
the Central building organization
was effected, Arthur Capper being
chosen as campaign chairman and ].
E Coulter of Port Huron, Mich, was
selected to direct the work
OF the 900 which it is expected
will be raised. $4,000 will go towards
the completion of the 7. W. c. A
building fund and the remaining SIS
coo will be turned over to the
Y. NJ C. a.
As the lowest bid on the 7. w. c. A
building was $1,000 higher than was
anticipated, it will cost $4,000 to
complete the new home for the girls

THE photographers convention
which is in session here recalls to
my mind the most patient person in
my old home town. He was the Will
age photogra pher- He was natural
mathematician also and when he help
braic methods although he had never
looked inside of an algebra.
However I started to tell about his
patience. Perhaps this quality is char
acteristic of all photographers but
Brown I'll call him, was the only
veled at his patience.
He displayed his patience most re-
markably in his treatment of infants
whom the proud mamas brought to
the gallery for to have their pictures
struck. I used to hang around the
gallery quite a bit, as the trade ap-
pealed to my artistic temperament and
besides there wasn't much hard work
connected with it

Brown would go through the pro-

baby into a suitable pose. Then as
he would step back a pace or SO and
say: Now baby, now ba-bee;' the kid
would let out yell as though it was
being murdered and squirm into the
most awkward position imaginable.
