nothing inside this time she picked it
up. but underneath it, coiled on the
floor. was an IMPORTED snake. The
dear little creature was still sleepy af-
ter his long winter nap and made no
move to get away. Mrs. Going then
started to find some one to kill the
little pet, but failing to find anyone
brave enough for the slaughter, she
took her life in her hands, and also
the broom. and made for the snake.
1t took a slide for the sheltering trunk
in the corner. but the slayer was too
quick for it and the foreign grown
reptile got his head smashed just the
same as if he had been Matched and
nourished in the sunfiower patch OF
Shawnee county farm. There are no
snakes in Ireland; for St. Patrick kill
ed them all, and some day, there may
be no snakes in France, if Topeka
women continue to import them to
America and club them with the broom.

Til Ii Eff1Ms

Topeka had its Introduction to Olga
NetherSole last night at the Grand.
she appeared in a Bernstein play,
1.-The Redemption of Evelyn Vaudrey."
There is no doubt that Miss Neither
sole pleased a majority of the people
in the audience. The play is a clever
one, but it is so F'renchy in its atmos-
phere that plain, moral Americans will
hesitate to place the stamp of appro-
val upon it. Nevertheless, there is a
lesson in the play and it is healthy
lesson well taught. 1t is the story of a
dissatisfied, misunderstood wife who
chafed at her surroundings, whose
husband scoffed at the things in which
his wife found pleasure and who was
treated with little consideration by
her family. She naturally concluded
that she would find happiness in what
she considered more congenial sur
roundings and with poet fiatterer,
who professed to love her and who
understood" her. Well, she found
that she was mistaken, just as thou
sands of women have found out be-
fore in real life. The natural thing
would have been descent in her de-
graduation, but the natural thing did
not happen. She deserted the false
life for love of her child. A reconcil-
iation with her husband follows and
they all live happily ever after, 1t is
presumed, just like story book.
So far as Miss Nethersole is con-
cerned there is something lacking in
her art. She hasn't the delicate touch
that marks the great artists and falls
short of the standard established by
the play. The company might easily
be improved. The best member of the
cast is Franklin Roberts, as Philip
Lazarre, the dissolute poet. The play
could not have been presented if the
Kansas child labor law had been OBJ
served, and so it was violated and Joe
Wallace, a clever little fellow, about
10 years old, played the part of Louis,
the boy who redeemed his mother.

That's exactly what L shall do. and

ser as he showed back from the table
Mr.. Bowser looked at her in a pity
ing sort of way, but made no answer.
He was above answering such a fling.
He went up and took another look at
the goat from a window. William was
still on the job. He had a position
about 10 feet from the kitchen door,
and his eyes seemed glued to it. His
whole at .itude showed that he was
waiting for that door to open and some
unfortunate being to emerge. A doubt
crossed Mr.. Bowser's mind, and at the
same time a chill crept up his spine.
Was it possible that he was mistaken
about goat nature. He would speak
words of kindness, but
s'HayesyOu given up the idea ,? ask
ed Mrs. Bowser just then.
Madam, you ought to know me by
this time he finally replied. Il do
not get ideas to toss them aside. When
make up my mind that a certain
policy is right I stick to it. The goat
is to be induced to depart"
He caught her smile, but said
nothing. Descending to the kitchen,
he found the cook again in tears, and
said to her:
You will now watch and listen, and
discover how to handle d goat Let
the lesson sink deep into your heart
His heart was humping as he threw
the door open, but he had bluffed and
must make good. For the IN oment he

eyes Then the goat began to back
away and Mr.. Bowser to chuckle- He
was looking kindly and the look was
having its effect.

asked
The goat turned aud walked away
and Bowser followed and waved his
hand at Mrs. Bowser. who was looking

The goat turned as on pivot and
as Mrs Bowser screamed out there was
a fash and a crash and Mr.. Bowser
brought up against the door. AS he
lay there without movement the goat
turned and disappeared into the alley
An hour later Mr. Bowser opened
his eyes He was lying on the lounge
and Mrs Bowser, the family doctor,

where he is. I do not want my dinner
delayed by this incident, as L may go
to a club this evening"
The cook limped around and dried
her tears and got the meal on the
table. Mr.. Bowser looked out of a back
window and saw the boat watching the
back door, and as he sat at the table
he said

evening reading up on natural history.

BOWsER AND THE GOAT.
The Bowser Back Yard Witnesses a
Circus.

Mr. BOWser came home to dinner an
hour ahead of his usual time the other
afternoon, and he had scarcely set foot
in the house when Mrs. Bowser greet
ed him with
Il am glad you have come! We
have had an awful time around here
''I suppose the cook has seen q rat
down cellar he replied.
There's been goat in the back
yard for the last hour.
Wei, can't a goat wander into our
back yard without an earthquake fol-
lowing?"
But this is a savage creature. Cook
was hanging some wash on the line
when the goat came through the gate.
She called to him to get out, and he
came for her on the jump and knocked
her down She managed to get into
the kitchen, but she thinks she is hurt
internally. The goat is still in the yard.
I have tried to frighten him, but he
glares at me and shakes his head
Mr.. BOwser led the way down to the
kitchen, where the cook sat crying, and
in judicial tones demanded:
4 want you to tell me exactly what
happened when the goat entered the
alley gate
told him to get out. was the re
You told him to get out? Why did
you tell him that?"
4 was afraid of him
But why We're YOU afraid Of him?
Were you ever attacked by a goat2
Did a goat ever even menace you
Il had an aunt"
Never mind about yefr aunt. You
say you were afraid of the goat. Did
he betray any signs Of SINGER
q can't say"
Did he glare and stamp fOot2
''Mebbe he didn't.
"Of course he didn't. In wandering
through the alley he saw the open gate
and entered He saw you With no
preliminary warning. and without the
slightest excuse for your attitude you
yelled to the goat to get out You hurt
and Inundated him. You angered
him. You probably stamped your
foot or raised your arm as you shouted
and he had every reason to believe that
you meant to attack him. He there
fore attacked you You simply got
what you deserved
THAT is hardly the way to talk to
a girl after she has been frightened
and hurt" chided Mrs. Bowser.
Madam, your opinion on this case
may be asked for later onl' replied
Mr.. Bowser as he drew himself up. 4
come home to find my house all upset
am told about savage goat. I am
told that he half-killed my cook. Is it
my business to find out the particulars
or not?''
But the goat hunted her.
But why-why2''
because he is ferocfous''
~Rosh. Because she humiliated and
meuaced him. That was the reason,
and who can blame him A goat has
feelings. He can distinguish kind
words from threats. He has just as
much right to respectful treatment as
a human being, and shall insist that
any goat entering upon these premises
has it extended to him. This closes the
incident"
But it leaves the goat in the back
yard" protested Mrs. Bowser.
