DO YOU WANT A BOY?
Topeka Orphans Home Has 10Year-
Old for Adoption or Contract.

Can any farmer make a is year OLD
boy happy by giving him good home?
The Topeka orphans home has a boy
to let out on contract or for adoption.
He is big, strong, healthy boy. almost
16. years old and is willing to work this
winter for board and clothes.
The boy likes live stock and prefers
farm work. He is much in need of
clothes and owing to his size it's unus-
ually hard for the orphans home to
find clothes large enough for him. The
boy is given good reference by Mrs.
Mary Anthony. president Of the or
phans' home, and anyone interested
may communicate with the orphans

RUSSIAN NOVELISTS

friends, Friday evening. In the Cen

THE novel Is today the popular
form OF writing. az was the sonnet In

some magnificent literary works have

Professor Phelps said that the
names of Mark Twain. Henry James.
and William Dean Howells are fore.

Henry Snyder Harrison will probably
become one of the immortals. He de.
clared Booth Tarkington's "Penrod''
