GIRL IN PINK MASK.
She Creates Stir at Cremerie Res
taurant Today.

It happened at the Cremerie res
taurant this noon. Around one of the
large tables in the dining room sat
the usual crowd of statesmen, attor-
neys, high and noble citizens and
newspapermen. 1t was that same
MONDAY meeting of knights who al
ways gather around the formidable
and discuss everything from the tariff
to the color of the headwaiter's neck
tie.
At another table about ten feet
from this conc1ave of high-brows sat
Manager Wells, who is booking agent
of the Crawford theater interests in
this city. Across the little tete-te-
tete table from him sat tall, stately
looking girl-with a large pink mask
falling from her forehead far below
her chin.
This mysterious girl in pink is a
prominent Topeka society girl (per-
haps) who is ambitious to go on the
stage. She was afraid, however, that
in trying out she might fail to make
good and to save herself and her
friends from embarrassment she
adopted the scheme of wearing pink
mask both on the street and in her
turn at the Novelty this week. In this
manner she will have nothing to re-
greet If she fails and will reveal her
identity if she makes good. A good
scheme to attract attention whether

Mr.. Wells and right across the room
from them were the above mentioned

such a manner that his companions
could not discover that his appetite
had departed.
Judge Benson of the supreme court
of Kansas was the first man to break
the silence-and it took a good man
to mention the one vision that was
coming between the meal and the din
ers. Each man was attempting to eat,
talk politics, and cast modern goo-goo
chances at the mysterious girl in pink.
Those who were facing her were
lucky enough to get a straight look
without any undue straining of the
neck and back. The rest of the
crowd turned their necks in regula-

a turntable out of their fourlegged
chairs.
But Judge Benson could stand it no
longer. After witnessing with repress-

DAIRYMAN is HURT.
Samuel Shapiro Run Down by Street
Car

Samuel Shapiro, a dairyman, while
driving on West Sixth avenue this
morning was struck by an outbound
car and rendered unconscious. The
wagon was demolished. The only dam
age resulting to the street car was a
couple of panes of broken glass.
Shapiro was removed to Christ's hos
pital, where it was reported later that
his injuries did not indicate serious
consequences would result. Shapiro did
not see the car until it was close upon
and could not jump because he was in
a closed wagon. Shapiro lives in the
city but has a dairy southeast of To-
peka. The accident occurred at $3.50

Rural Carrier opened Letters,

carrier working out of the little town
of Reserve, Brown county, is under
arrest, charged with robbing the
mails. He took a, SIS bill from letter.
In his confession to the officers he
said that the first letters he opened
were letters from a rival to his sweet
heart. His apparent immunity, he
said, from detection made him holder.
His case will probably not be taken
up until in April. He is said to come
from a good family and his appear
ance bond, which was fixed at $500,
will probably be given by his relatives.
