He LEAVES TOPEKA
Prominent Shoe Dealer Receives
Flat ering Offer.
ACCEPTS.
Topeka Stock Will Be Closed
Out at Once.

Yes, 1 am going to quit the shoe
business in Topeka" said julius Snat-
finger when questioned about the mat
ter this morning For several weeks
past, 1 have been considering a very
fIattering offer from q certain western
shoe house, as sales director. I have
spent a great deal of effort in trying
to secure a capable manager for my
shoe store at $40 Kansas avenue, or at
least to find a buyer for the stock,
lease, fixtures, etc, but as yet, 1 have
been unable to make any sort of a sat
isfactory deal.
1.-The position I am offered is a big
one and more renumerative than the
retail business so I have decided to ac-
cept. I will have to close out my en-
tire stock before 1 leave and can
hardly expect to realize cost on 1t as
must report for my new work within a
few weeks. I regret leaving Topeka
for I like the town and have many
greater opportunity and a handsomer
return
Snattinger's Shoe Store will be re-
membered as the new store opened at
$40 Kansas avenue about a year ago.
1t is one of the most attractive and
up-to-date shops in the city, having
been popular from he start.
Mr.. Snattinger is one of the younger
of Topeka's business men and is to be
complimented upon securing such a
responsible position. His wide expert
ence in the shoe business, both whole
sale and retail, will fit him admirably
for the work he is about to undertake.
Preparations are now being made for
a rapid clearance sale of the retail
stock and announcements of it will
probably appear soon.

jealousy Causes Mother Cat to
Danish Kittens.

What are probably the largest ears
Of corn which have been seen on the
North side for some time were brought
to town this morning by Richard
Wright of Granville. Four of the
corn ears all together weighed seven
and one-half pounds. The largest ear
by itself weighed two and one-half
pounds. 1t was 10 inches long and 8
inches in circumference The number
of kernels were estimated at 1900.
Mr.. Wright said that the corn was
raised on his farm near Granville on
land which has been planted in po-
tatoes for the past several years. The
Wr1ghts are old settlers in the vicinity
of Granville and have a fine farm.
This is story of a mother cats
5ealousy-how she banished her three
kittens because they had left her teni-
porarily and had taken up with
strange cat. The kittens were born
about a month ago in the cellar of the
Forbes Bros, grain dealers at 1T West
Laurent street
1t was dark in the cellar perhaps.
Then, of course, it must have been
lonesome down there in the cellar. with
only themselves to play with and like
people, kittens doubtless grow tired of
each others company.
Then the most alluring shafts of
light came down the stairway and filled
the catlets with q desire to see the big
world above Now, of course, let US
hope that the kittens had no thought
of 1ngratitude to the mother who had
reared them, who had licked them with
her tongue, had told them about the
dangers of the world full of dogs and
mischievous boys, and full of mice for
them to catch and all that should be
told to baby cats
Ihey were not unGppreciative, but
probably just wanted a change of en-
v1ronment. So one day while their
mama was out hunting mice or dis
cuss1ng woman'S rights, or maybe Cos
siping about her friends with some of
them, saying that Mrs. Tabby is get
ting to be a regular old cat" etc, hes
children all straSed up the stairs 20
the room above.
Here were many things to interest
them-the people, the huge sacks of
grain and the people who were COM
ing and going. Then they spied an
other mother cat with five of the most
entertaining children. They invited the
three kittens to stay for dinner with
them, the older cat seconding the in
Vitation, likely assuring the visitors
that You might as we'll, for Won are
hungry and your mama won't care"
But mama did During the meal
hour she came upon the scene. Her
three kitties ran to meet her. How
ever, she chased them away from her
and doubtless with a sense of ingrati-
tude eating at her heart, exclaimed:
"Ungrateful childreni Thus do Won
forsake me for a stranger after all I

And somewhere is a mother cat
mourning the loss of her three kittens
and the injustice of the world
