HIS VISITOR WAS SHAGGY
Disconnected the Tired New York
Business Man, Whose Window
Was Open.

A tired business man from out Of
town entertained a party at supper
on Thanksgiving eve in one of the
broadway restaurants, and he was
still more tired when he awoke late
yesterday in his room at the Waldorf.
\ dull light came in from the court
upon which his window gave. and it
served to increase his feeling of lassi-
tude. Perhaps, he reflected, a seda-
tive would help some.
So he got up and groped his way
into the bathroom, found the bottle
with the medicine in it, and returned
to where the icewater was. While
he was in the act of measuring the
dose dark object intruded itself be-
tween the outside world and him.
lie stared at it, 1t was shaggy. He
let out whoop.
Dropping the bottle and glass, he
sprang to the telephone. A friendly
little whine was somewhat reassur-
ing, but his nerves were unstrung.
Therefore it was that a moment later
the clerk in the office downstairs was
getting this message from the clerk
OF that floor:
THE gentleman in 800 SAYS he
wants somebody to hurry and get out
of his room an animal that~has sud-
denly appeared in it. He says it is
shaggy and has four legs, and whines
like dog, and"
"Ycs"-altcr 4 pausc-''hc says it
is dog. But he wants someone to
hurry up and get it out
1t turned out that the room the
tired man occupied has its sill almost
on a level with the roof Of the palm
garden. and that the woman who
owns the dog had IA room ON the
same level. Do%gie slipped out of
her window for promenade and,
finding the mans window open.

January Soth, 1915:
Whereas, an unfair attempts
being made to extend the scope
of the State Printing Plant be-
yond its legitimate field, to the
detriment of the publishing and
printing business of the state;
and,
Whereas, it is no more the
province of the state to inter-
fere with the Legitimate printing
and publishing business than it
is for it 10 engage in the grocery
dry goods, farming, banking, or
other business; and,
Whereas, Kansas is amply
equipped with private plants in
which a great amount of capital
is invested, furnishing employ
ment to labor in every town
within its borders. Therefore,
be it
Resolved That we, the Kan
sas State Editooial Association,
hereby protest against attempt
10 put the state in unfair COM
petition with the printers and
publishers of Kansas, and that
we believe such action is against
public policy, in that II is using
the money of the taxpayers to
increase the number of state en-
ployes, add to the burden of
the taxpayer, cripple plants al
ready established, and throw
men and women out OF employ
ment; and in view of the further
fact that the cost of state print
ing has never been fairly deter
mined, we would request the
State of Kansas to order a thor.
'ough and impartial investigation
by uninterested printing cost
of all state printing and the
prices paid by the state for alN
printingsupplies and equipment,
before any further steps are
taken to place the state in COM
