"It seems to me-" says Tom Thomp-
son, that I could learn to drive a
motor car, all right. if could only get

much ,rouble to stop the machines
they generally stop themselves"
A Hutchinson man died in Kansas
City few days ago, and the mourners
murdered or killed by drink. He was
recently accused of being implicated in
a bank robbery at Ford, and there is
no doubt that he had plenty of fun
while he lived.@Emporia Gazette.
"One reason that I have never car
rted any life insurance" explained old
ST Chestnut the other day. lis because
don't want people to say that I am

A new sport has been devised in
Kansas. That Is. it is new to Kansas.
Time was half a century ago when
the same thing was popular, but since
the days Of the Hoosier Schoolmaster,
it had died out. 1t is whipping the
teacher. If it becomes popular the
school districts will be compelled to
take on the discarded champions of
the squared circle as teachers, and
furnish the boys what they seem to be

A woman with real maid is COM
ing to visit relatives here this summer,
says the Lawrence Journal The maid
isn't a hired girl worked in for the
occasion but a hair and finger hxer
and a 'hooker-up." The advent of the
maid in Lawrence will be quite an
event in social circles and should cause
her mistress to have many functions
given in her honor. If only the maid
calls her mistress Madame all will
be perfect.
The other day we picked up a ddnky
every week, says the Osborne County
Farmer. AS usual. we found something
in 1t that made us somewhat tired, and
we threw it down in disgust. We men
tally decided that the fellow who runs
1t was chumD. For some reason we
picked it I'D again and looked at it
more closely, the Farmer continues. Our
feelings, somehow or other, began to
change. We noted the advertisements.
They were few in number and we
knew that the wolf was standing out
side the door of that little print shop
and bowling. The ads were poorly got
up, but we knew why. The poor devil
didn't nave enough material In the
chop to get up a good ad. It was poor
ly printed-almost unreadable in spots.
We knew again what was the matter.
He needed new rollers and some de-
cent ink but probably he didn't have
the money to buy them. One Of the
few locals spoke about 1.-The editor
and family" So he had other mouths
to feed. He was burning midnight oil
in order to save hiring a printer He
couldn't afford it. True he isn't get
ting out a good paper, but at that he
is giving a whole lot more than he is
receiving. We forgot all about the
things that made us weary. We only
saw the poor devil struggling along
under his load and that little family
at home that must be fed whether the
advertisements came in or not. We
know what it is to struggle in a little
print shop with the gaunt spectre of
adversely. 1t is ALFRED easy to poke
fun at the dinky papers when the
waves of prosperity are breaking in
over your own doorstep. Likely if we
were in that fellows place we couldn't
do as we'll as he does.
