No city in Kansas or the central
west offers better advantages and more
than does Topeka. In many respects,
superior advantages and opportunities
are presented in Topeka than in any
other city of similar location and size.
Social, moral and business life of
the Kansas capital city are such that
parents are satisfied to send their
young people here to receive business

feel justly proud of her denominational
colleges, her business training schools,
her musical Conservatives and art

That was many years ago at a
country school house in Cobb County
when Robert Anderson and Pellonia
Butner were two small children Just
beginning their acquaintance with
Noah Webster's blue-back speller.
Robert was a good boy who always
loved to play with girls; a gentle, re.
fined, happy-hearted child, with beau
tiful blue eyes in which smiles were
at home Pellonia was high-spirited,
ambitious little girl with a round.
dimpled face and a wealth of wavy
dark auburn hair. This boy and girl
went together to school, spelled the
same lessons, read the same wonder
full lines, solved the same problems,
studied the same histories and coniu-
gated the verb to love from their first
days in school until their last, and
when school days were over the two
were married and lived together more
than fifty years. Many lovers are
married but do not live together,
shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart,
keeping step and looking into each
others eyes with tender confidence
But Robert and Pellonia were lovers
all their lives. They had many cross
es and sorrows. War carried the
stalwart young husband away from
his home, leaving three little children
to comfort their sorrowing mother.
The youngest died and was shrouded
in part of the mothers bridal robe
as nothing suitable could be found in
the stores.
Eight children grew up and were
married except one son who died in
his youth One lovely daughter died,
after short married life, Leaving no
children. Their eldest son also died
in a tragic railway accident few
years ago.
Four daughters and one son, who
was the baby and the pride OF his
mothers heart, survive them.
A few summers ago all the children
Of this devoted couple surprised their
parents by assembling at their home
in Douglasville to celebrate their
golden wedding. The bride had saved
the table and table-cloth on which her
wedding supper had been served and
both were used on this occasion.
After that they made a journey to
Savannah and spent a winter. The
honeymoon of their youth had never
waned or grown dim.
On lovely Sabbath in May about
three years ago Roberts blue eyes
closed and he whispered a last fare
we'll to his beloved companion. A few
weeks ago, when spring had come in
Savannah, the sad heart of Pellonia
failed aud faltered and, looking up
with happy smile, she said 81 am
so glad you have come, Robert, and
that the war is over"
Then her eyes closed, her heart
rested and peace fell upon her like
beautiful white veil.
And now these life long lovers rest
beside each other near the old homes
where their lives began and every one
who knew them recalls their bene-
ticent deeds, their smiling faces.
their brave hearts, their pure lives and
memories fall like the petals OF fra
grant flowers upon their graves
