THE RANK AND FILE.

THE RANK AND FILE.
~ CONSIDERABLY to his surprise
and no less to his satisfaction,
" the newly appointed division
COUNSEL" as his title ran, was
not required to take over the old legal
department offices In the second story
Of the station building, where all the
other offices OF the company We're To-
Gated. Instead he was directed to fit
up Il suit of rooms in Temple court,
the capitals most pretentious uptown
sSyscraper, and there was something
more than hint that the item OF first
cost need not IT, too closely considered.
II was the vice president himself,
writing from Chicago, who authorized
the new departure and loosened the
purse strings. He wrote:
Don't be afraid OF spending little
money. Make your uptown Office as at
tractiye as may he and arrange matters
with Ackerton so that you will not be
burdened with too much OF the routine
legal work. a successful legal represent
alive will be a good mixer, as | am sure
you are. and viii extend the circle OF hiS
W
possible. Your appointment viii be fully
justified when you shall have made your
uptown office Il place where the good cit
liens OF the capital and the state can
drop In for cordial word with the COM
pany's spokesman and for a better mu-
tual understanding of the facts.
Acting upon this suggestion, Blount
opened the Temple court headquarters
and threw himself energetically into
the indicated field. Ackerton, tech
and the state code at his fingers ends,
was left in charge of the working Of
fees In the railroad building, with in
structlons to apply to his chief only
when he needed specific advice.
At the uptown headquarters Blount
gave himself wholly to the pleasant
task Of making friends. With n good
store of introductions upon which to
make beginning and with the open
handed whole souled camaradcrie of
the west to help along, the list OF ac-
quaintances grew with amazing rapid

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

A few days ago young girl came to
me to tell me that in the course of
five minutes walk through park in
this city she had been insultingly &C
costed by seven men.
She said she thought such conditions
were disgraceful and that 1 ought to
write something about 1T.
Since then have talked the matter
over with five of my women friends
and acquaintance who know this
None of them has ever been accost-
ed more than once or twice In all her
experience with the place.
Three of them cross it daily on their
way to work, returning after nightfan
in the winter, and the others have oc-
casion to pass that way very fire.
quently.
One girl all last winter was obliged
to pass through the park three nights
a week at ten o'clock when returning
from some evening work.
incidentally two of these girls are
very pretty and the others at least at
tractive looking.
How do 1 account for this discrep-
ancy in stories?
Do think the first girl was lying?
Not at all
NY explanation is just this: Except
when a man is drunk and not account
able, in nine cases out of ten when a
man speaks to a girl he selects the girl
ladvisedly.
He isn't apt to speak to the quietly

BUTTER ROLLS-A DELICIOUS
BREAD DAINTY

If you have never eaten our but
ter rolls, you really can't imagine
just how good they are. In Chi
cago restaurants and almost all
over the East, butter rolls are al
ways served instead of the ordin-
airy cinnamon rolls, such as are
common here.
We make butter rolls of rich,
bread dough containing eggs and a
certain amount of spice. In shape
they greatly resemble the ordinary
cinnamon roll. They are baked in
large pans which have been gen.
erously lined with a rich mixture
of pure, sweet butter and sugar,
When baked to a rich tempting
brown, they are taken from the
pans and turned up side down.
The sugar and butter, baked right
into the body of the roll, gives
them a delicious flavor. You'll en-
joy them especially for breakfast.
They sell at Toe a dozen.
We make big variety of rolls
and buns beside these. There are
cinnamon rolls, pocket-book rolls.
peanut buns, poppy rolls, sandwich
buns, English tea biscuits, etc. all
at 10c a dozen.

DON'T LET ANYBODY LAUGH
YOU OUT OF YOUR
PREMIUMS

It's common thing in many
homes for the men folk to Josh
a bit if the housewife goes to a lit
tie extra pains to get premiums.
But don't mind that. Save your
Weston Bread wrappers and get
some nice piece of cut glass, Havi-
land China, or community silver.
Then show 1t to the men folk. They
will recognize the splendid quality
and will appreciate your thrifty
spirit. And all the while they will
enjoy the superior quality of the
bread you serve them.
Weston Bread contains the great
est possible amount of that rich
food-part of the wheat called "glu-
ten. It's baked without too much
raising resulting in bread that's
solid. fine grained and full of nu-
tr1ment; never fluffy and tough. It's
so good that people come to the
bakery for it, eliminating an expen-
slve delivery system and enabling
us to offer you the splendid pre-
mlums. However, you CAN get
this bread at most grocers, for it is
so popular that nearly all dealers
send their wagons here for it, lust
to accommodate patrons.
Is your grocer that sort?

calls on Topeka friends have lately

Miss Shepherds, and of course, there
was a reason. Mr.. Ellis is a newspaper
man, and has position with the Kan

Announcement is made of the engage
ment of Miss Julia Wellhouse of Leav-
enworth, and Mr.. Glen Jones of Wa
keeny. Miss Wellhouse lived in Topeka
until about two years ago, and was a
student at the Topeka high school and
later at Washburn college. Mr.. Jones
is the son of DR.. and Mrs. A. B. Jones
of Wakeeny. Hhe attended Washburn
college a few years ago, and later went
to Columbia university. He is now in
the real estate business in Wakeeny.
The wedding will take place in June at
the home of the brides sister, Mrs. L.

and will be quietly celebrated, with
only relatives in attendance.

DELICATESSENS AND COOKED
MEATS ARE ALWAYS FRESH
AND TEMPTING, HERE

The splendid quality always
keeps them selling rapidly and thus
their freshness is assured. At
trifling cost you can serve some
new, delicious dish every day, with
out the trouble and waste of pre-
pairing it yourself.
Included in the list is roast

dressed girl who is going straight
ahead about her business, head up,
looking neither to the right nor left,
and neither expecting nor thinking of
possible insults.
He is apt to speak to the hashily
dressed girl with the sauntering gait
and the sidelong glance. the girl who
rather expects someone will speak to
her, and who, howsoever she may rave
and protest about being insulted, deep
down in her heart really considers
these attentions as a tribute to her
overpoTering attractiyeness-
There are of course few incorri-
gible ''mashers' who will speak to any
girl at any time. We have all had our
experiences with these. But as a rule
a man does not attempt to pick a girl
up until he has sized her up to be that
kind.
Depend upon it. the girl who is al
ways coming home with some terrible
tale of man who followed her on the
street or a brute who ogled her out
of countenance on the train isn't the
prosecuted little Puritan she represents
herself to be.
