IS A GOOD SAMARITAN
KiImaurs King Builds House for Old
Negro Woman.

Kilnaurs King has AGAIN proven
himself a good samaritan to the needy
poor of Topeka. This is the case of an
aged colored woman living on North
jefferson street. Her name is Emma
Thompson and she is an old slave;
far too old to work. She has not the
least idea as to her age. Last June
q spark from a Union Pacific freight
engine set fire to her house which with
the ground on which it stood consist
ed of her sole possession.
For some time she wandered through
North Topeka trying to obtain work
but was turned away time after time
because she was too old. Finally des-
titute and with no place to sleep she
went to Mr.. King. 1t took him only
short time to start a petition to raise
enough money to build a little house on
her lot. Nearly $50 has been raised at
the present time and Mr.. King hopes
to raise the remainder in few days.
The old colored woman is now on her
road to happiness for Mr.. King did
not wait until the money was raised to
commence building the house. He be-
gan at once md it's is almost finished.

full handling of cars enroute. AS a
result of efficiency methods, the San
ia F'e already has materially cut down
its loss and damage item, and our Of
ficialS hope to make even a better
showing in the near future.
Reports at our meeting, which
were especially encouraging, showed
loss on account of damage to ship
ments of household goods, automo-
biles, furniture, eggs and other mer-
chandise of a breakable character, to
have been greatly reduced. due to
modern methods of handling, de-
vised by our experts. In future our
station agents and transportation in
spectors, who have been instructed in
modern methods of taking care of all
kinds of freight, will give shippers,
large and small, the benefit of their
experience whenever called upon to
do so. that being a part of their bust
ness under the Santa Fe's policy of
cooperation with its patrons, to the
end that the best service may be af-
forded."

ACCIES DEFEATED.
Southwestern Upsets Forecast and
Won Gruelling Contest.

| Manhattan, Kan, Oct 4.-The first
surprise of the Kansas football season
took place on the Aggie gridiron here
Friday afternoon when the South
western college team from Winfield
defeated K. S. A. c., 10 to 10, in a
gruelling contest There is gloom at
the college, but Coach Lowman prom
ises the school that the Aggies will
"come back and that revenge will be
taken out on several teams before the
| curtain drops on the season.
The game started with a rush and
both teams played we'll. Southwestern
was light but fast and showed fine
form when they won the game in the
third quarter. The Aggies scored ten
points in the first quarter and in the
final quarter worked the ball to South
westerns one yard line, where they
lost the ball on downs. Marble, left
tackle for the locals, played a fine
game, as did the backfield, while Ran
dells and Lear were the stars for the
visitors.
At the outset the Agricultural COL
lege set a lively pace. After nine min
uteS of short end runs and line
plunges by Ems and Siderfsky, Ag-
new, Loomis and Marble carried the
ball to the % yard line, where Hay
maker, the local quarterback, by clev-
er drop kicking, scored three points.
A few minutes later Marble went over
for a touchdown and Briney kicked
goal. The score then stood: Agricul-
tural college 10; Southwestern 0.
Fifteen hundred people saw the
game, the day being fine, although a
trif1e warm for the players. The Ag-
gies play the Nebraska Cornhuskers
next Saturday at Lincoln and the State
Normal team at home Oct. Is.

Are Shipped to Western Kansas.

C. D. Yetter, secretary of the Kansas
Farmer Seed Wheat club today gave
out the following statement concerning
the relief fund raised for the benefit of
the farmers in the western sections of
the state:
I'VE have shipped approximately
twenty-five thousand bushels to noon

Mountain Creek. M&y 11.-(Special)-
Two rains during the past week have
increased the hopes of the farmers in
this section to such an extent that crop
prospects are, from appearances now, all
that was expected when the ground was
first seeded. Mr.. Culver, rural route
mail carrier, who travels over 20 miles
per day-10 going and 10 returning by
another road-says that on his entire
route conditions now are fine.
Cotton is doing fine, and where it was
necessary to plant seed where a stand
was not assured, the recent seeding has
sidered in excellent shape
Corn. wheat and oats have been stimu-
lated also by the recent rains, and these
several crops promise an abundant yield.
The 10 or IL days dry spell which pre-
vailed here and hinoered growth until
the rain renewed things. What damage
done then is not perceptihle to any great

Removing Stain From Tan Shoes

"Will you please tell me what to do for
tan shoes that have been stained? They
got wet and the stain will not come off
Also, could you tell me where to find a
recitation--in somewhat broken English

posed to be complaint by German
or Dutch woman. / am sending a good
recipe for dried peach pickle: Soak the
dried peaches over night and the next
day the skins easily can be removed
from most of them. Pin together TWO
half peaches of equal size with cloves
and bits of cinnmon, place them in cans
with an occasional almond to suggest
a peach kernel and pour over them
hot, sweet spced vinegar. Let them
stand at least a week before using. TRY
them They are fine. I am Is years old
and l am going to school and really
want the rest of that recitation I mon
toned v r. B."
If the stains on your tan shoes are
from water thay should come out easily.
Some people claim that a few drops of
turpentine on a soft cloth will clean tan
leather. Others use on their shoes a per-
fectly clean, raw potato (peeled). rub
bing it over every particle of the shoe.
Let this dry, then apply polish to it. If
only slight soil is on the leather rub
these spots with cut banana. We thank
