Topeka people often wonder and ask
why a large and attractive portion Of

future suburban and still later urban
section of Topeka. One day public
spirited business man. out for a ride
with his wife. drove to the high point
now called 1.-The HILL" The lady, with
flash of intuition, said: Here's the
spot for church"
That's right" said the man, land
we'll build it ourselves as memorial
to your sainted father, and give it his
name-Lowman.
The business man was the late John
b. Bartholomew. and his wife's father
was the Rev. @. A. LOwman OF the
Pittsburg conference, Methodist Epis
copal church. The proposed church
was promptly erected in 1885. Not
long after the public school came to
the same location and naturally took
the soon-familiar name, and from
church and school the fin. new suburb
middle-western neighborhood of To-
peka is and always will be "Lowman

One of the most curious customers
we ever had-or rather two of them"

Hank. l never knew that they had
any other names. If they did, they
never mentioned them.
ABE was an old Union soldier, and
he'd lost his leg at Gettysburg. He
used to come in two or three times
year to get pair of shoes. First time
he looked at the odd shoe with a pat
ronizing sort of expression.

No. I answered. You see, odd
shoes aren't much value. There isn't
any demand for them
That's what they all tell me- an

good leather. That right-foot shoe
seems too good to go to the dump
heap
Il was feeling bright that morning,
and l had an idea See here, why
don't you find right-legged man that
takes the same size shoe?' l asked
him.
"'Where would I find him?' asked
Abe
Round about the Old Soldiers
home, l suggested, and the idea
seemed to please him, for he perked
up and went out whistling, with the
right shoe in his pocket.
Il had about forgotten the matter,
when, four or five months later, Abe
comes back with a right-legged man.
He had been wounded at Gettysburg,
too, on the Confederate side, and their
feet was pair. I sold 'em a pair of
shoes between 'em, and they were so
pleased they stayed half an hour, chat
ting with me.
Il gathered that both were in mod
est conditions. Hank, the right-legged
man, had met Abe quite by accident at
the reunion of the two forces which
happened last summer. 1t turned out
