a nobIeman to us has all the enchant-
ment that distance lends All this is a
preface to the startling announcement
that a real duke arrived in Topeka
travelling incog, and blew into the
town wearing all the ear marks of his
rank. The wise ones say that he is
q Persian. and. departing from the
usual type of his countrymen, he is
pale and blue eyed, large, handsome
and commanding. In his early youth he
jOurneyed from his far eastern home
to England and lived at the palace of
Lady Beresford. His first stop in this
country was in Chicago at the home of
Mrs. Clinton Locke, who is the wife OF
e renowned clergyman of that city
From Chicago he came directly to To-
peka and is going to live here at 1858
Clay street That story sounds just
about as genuine as the complexion of q
ballet girl, but it is the sober truth
and the Persian nobleman is q great
beautiful white AngOra cat that has
been purchased and shipped here by
Mrs Henry Beetle and added to heI
splendid collection of pets. Duke is
considered one of the highest bred
cats in the country and. according to
the best judgment of all right think
ing people, he is just as useful and
far more admirable than those men OF
rank who lick the hands of despots and
live by tn sweat Of the other mans
brow.
