Col Tom McNeal is writing a leg
islative review. The Colonel, having
been inside the state house twice dur
ing the session and taken part in the
mock senate, is qualified to write such
a review. We had thought some of
writing a legislative review, but after
considering the fact that we had been
on the job every day Of the session,
realized that we were not qualified for
the task.
Because, the more you see of a
legislature, the less you know about
it.

Residents of North Topeka, who

may exaggerate, to a degree, they do,
usually, because the few news writer's

catastrophes, and neglect the work of

and relatives of persons in the disaster

some exaggeration in the report Dur

killed four times by Boston, Baltimore

there was only one telegraph line out
of Topeka.
Sir Tommy Upton is disappointed
because the Americans would not ac-

a worse disappointment by their re-

7HE EVENING STORY
CheSterton's Dog.
(By Temple Bailey.)

It was really a case of love me
! love my dog with Chesterton. No
body who could resist Busters bland
ishments appealed to Chesterton. His
soul was knit to Busters by ties OF
five years of close companionship.
Hence it was blow to Chesterton
to find. when he fell in love at last,
madly and without reason. that the
lady of his heart would have nothing
whatever to do with his pet.
Hes so big and clumsy she said,
disdainfully the first time that Buster
attempted to put confiding head on
her knee. And you know 1 hate
dogs
Chesterton's heart felt like lead. "I
had hoped that you might like Bus
ter" he said and drew the dog away
from her silken daintiness. IL think
if you don't mind I'll take him for a
walk"
Il certainly do mind" she said,
with decision, IF you leave me now,
Bobbie. simply to please an old white
dog. you can go-forever."
Chesterton stared at her. You
can't mean that
ct do" her laugh was heard.
You come to spend an evening with
old dog you are going away before
the evening is half over"
Chesterton stood irresolute. From
the threshold Buster regarded him
with mournful eyes. Then he heard
a little sob from Edith. Dear heart"
he said, and flew to comfort her. And
Buster was presently banished to the
hall
There he was taken charge of by
Edith's sister, Mary.
Mary was twenty-five and very
charming. But the world had not

was two years younger, and who
was very lovely and very selfish, had
managed to keep Mary in the back
ground, and Mary had accepted her
tie songs while she stitched busily on
Ediths garments. and she dreamed
dreams while she baked cakes or made
salad dressing for the feasts which
were to delight Edith's admirers.
At these feasts Mary acted as a
sort of buffer to keep Edith from
worry. Now she tried to make the
world run smoothly for Buster. She
patted him on the head and talked
to him. Mary knew why Buster was
banished from the living room. She
knew that Edith would share her af-
Buster would be pushed from his
place in his masters heart.
Mary took Buster out to the
kitchen and gave him a ham bone.
When he f1nlSne0 ne came ana lalQ
his head in her lap.
When it was time for Chesterton
to go he went to look up Buster
Probably one of the maids has shut
him in the kitchen" said Edith, and
Chesterton crept out and opened the
door softly.
A glad bark greeted him, and Ches-
terton had a fleeing vision of a pref
ty girl in q low chair. BY some sub
tie instinct, he knew that Buster had
been making a bed of her trailing
gray skirt
"Oh, 1 say" Chesterton expostu-
lated, you shouldn't have bothered,
you know"
Hes a dear dog" said Mary. and
Chesterton wondered why he hadn't
noticed before what nice voice she
had.
I'm glad you like him." then he
added, wistfully, Edith doesn't"
Mary said nothing. She couldn't
hold out false hopes to him. Some
how she felt sorry for this frank, hon
est fellow. who was not likely to re-
turn the ~il-o'-the-wisp affections of
her charming sister.
