FIRST ward. While usually in the au-
tumn people move from the farms to
the North side, it is said that more
people are moving into the First ward
from both country and other towns
than ever before. The enrolment of
the Grant and Quincy schools for the
first week of the new term number
nearly 500 for both schools, an in
crease over that of the term a year
ago, and shows increase of population.
This morning real estate men report
that Bert Edwards and family are
moving from 212 East Fifth street to
1882 North Kansas avenue. J. T..
Hastings and family are moving from
farm northeast of Topeka to 1895
North Harrison street. Others are ex-
pected to move in this week. In the
First ward, F. M. King is moving from
1416 North Jackson street to 1116
Central avenue.
Great interest and excitement. Boys.
watch your trousers. Don't leave them
in the house with the doors unlocked.
Scandal! Scandal,
A girl dressed in mems clothes, ac-
cOmpanied by another girl attired as
she should be, paraded over the North
side about o'clock last night. The
identity of the two is unknown. Mys-
stery, mystery. The girl might have
passed for a boy, if she had not start
ed to run whenever she came under
the electric light, but her gait was too
the deception. Besides she wore no
hat and her glossy braids gave her
dead away. She is described as
plump and having a good figure, and
her companion likewise.
The two were seen on East Laurent
street, going west. also on North
Monroe and Quincy streets. Their gig
giles were distinctly heard and the
noise was distinctly girl-giggles.
Hereafter mothers will likely watch
their daughters and their sons will
likely see that their apparel is not bor-
rowed. But-girls will be girls-and
sometimes it seems girls will be boys
If a pretty girl and nice looking
man school teacher make a mistake
of three eggs when counting that
product, and the school teacher is sup
posed to be a good counter, what is
the matter?
People of a certain country neigh
borhood not far from the North side
are asking that question. 1t seems
that the school teacher has been
boarding at the girls home. He is a
nice fellow and well educated. Like
wise the young lady. Recently the
girls parents sent her to town with
crate of eggs, the Y. NJ S. T. went
with her to drive the horse. Arriving
at a store he volunteered to help her
count the eggs and his offer was ac-
cepted with pleasure. Now, not so
many eggs were to be counted. but
the two took nearly half an hour on
the job. And when they finished they
made q mistake of three eggs. Now
what do you know about that?
man by the same name and from
the same place as General Fred Fun
ston of Twentieth Kansas fame is Wis
iting here. He is T. W. Funston of
lola the guest of NJ. r. White at 1882
North Quincy street. General Fun
ston's home is also in lola. Likewise
Mr.. Funston says that the ancestors or
both came from the same place In
northern ireland. The Funston visit
ing here is a retired farmer. He owns
considerable land near lola. The IA
nous lola cement comes from part OF
his land and he is interested in that
business.
The mills of Cupid grind slow, but
they grind exceeding fine. A former
North side girl now living in a distant
city writes about it. She had sweet
heart-as girls often have. She had
also a quarrel with her sweetheart-as
girls often have. And she had a twin
sister, as girls som etimes have. And
now after the fuss her former sweet
heart has become badly infatuated
with her twin sister. Which shows
that the man liked her only for her
looks-as men (too) often do.
