MAY PUT UP SIGNS.
Plan to Let Travellers Know Topeka
Is on Map.

The suggestion that an excellent
means of advertising Topeka would
be to place large sign boards telling
of the city's advantages along the
railroad lines in the vicinity of the
capital town made recently by w. j.
Berkowitz of Kansas City is now be-
ing seriously considered.
At a meeting of the Topeka Rebate
association the question of putting up
fifty large signs was discussed and r.
X. Hinkson stated that the mainten-
ance of such signs would cost $3.50 a
month or $4,000 a year. The PROPOSE
ton will probably be brought up for
the consideration of the Commercial
club.
1t has been suggested that the
amount could be collected if 200 mer-
.chants would be willing to be assessed
SIS a year each for the upkeep of the
signs.
1t would not be the object of the
plan to advertise any particular bust
ness house or houses, but to indicate
the number of miles to Topeka and
the advantages of the city as a place
in which to live and which to do shop
ping.

SLEPT IN HEN HOUSE.
No Wonder John Williams Was Hen
Picked.

Because his wife made him sleep in
the hen house, Judge Whitcomb this
morning granted John VILLA ms a III
vorce from his wife, Agnes Williams.
were of a varied nature and the plain
tiff testified that he received all the
worst of the abuse.
According to Williams story, trouz
BILE became apparent in the home all
most two years ago. Mrs. Williams
whom he says is an able bodied wom-
an. refused to cook his meals. Then
Williams prepared meals for himself
and children, while his wife slept. He
said he didn't know what hour she
arose, as she was always IN bed when
he went to work.
Williams. it seems. looked so "easy''
that Mrs. Williams is then said to have
declined to wash the dishes. Then
Williams washed them. After that
Mrs. Williams would not make the
beds. So Williams was elected cham
bermaid. When his wife refused to
mend his socks, Williams admitted
that his store of good nature was ex-
hausted. Then they quarreled-
strange, wasn't it? There was not
room in the two story frame dwelling
for all members of the warning family.
So Williams was forced to take up an
abode in the hen huse.
But Williams fidelity seemed mex
haustible. His groceryman testified
that each week the man bought pro-
visions for the entire family and that
they were delivered on the doorstep to
the wife. 1t was so funny that Will
liams really smiled as he told of his
experiences as hen pecked husband
in the family hen house.
You see judge" said Williams. and
broad smile spread>o over the face of
the witness, you see 1 stayed out
there in that hen house all winter.
There didn't seem to be room for all
of us in the house when my wife had
those spells. So I sort of. fixed up a
bed in the hen house. Then I bought
a little stove and it was really quite
comfortable. although it was bit
crowded"
After that Williams told of his eff
forts to buy little home south of the
fair grounds. The contract price was
$3.50. One day Williams had $500
all in ready money and made the first
payment. But when the next payment
came due. Williams had exhausted his
bank account to provide for his fam
ily.. A big hearted land agent, however.
fixed the contract so Williams might
make small monthly payments and
eventually own a home. Williams
dreams of a home all his own we're
being realized when the first domestic
trouble started.
When Williams could stand it no
longer. he applied for a divorce. Then
Mrs. williams wanted division of the
$500 equity in the home. This ques-
ton was compromised and Judge
Whitcomb said he believed Williams
had suffered sufficiently and was en-
titled RI decraa
