AT least three Topeka women and

Saturday evening shortly before 9
O'Clock a woman living on Harrison
street between Sixteenth and Seven

gle passenger came up in front of the
house.
The man, followed by a bulldog,
alighted, walked up to the porch, and
without making a statement of any
kind marched toward her. The wom-
an, who was alone, became frightened
and backed through the front door
into the parlor. The mantle dog

continued to back through the parlor
meanwhile demanding to know who
the visitor was. He troubled himself
not a bit, however, to answer her
questions, contenting himself merely
with following her through the
rooms.
/ The woman, who was by that time
considerably shaken backed through

and continued on until she came to a
cabinet from which she took out a
large butcher knife. By that time
she had gone as far as she possibly
could go, So she waited for her pur-
suer to come up. The man, however,
on seeing the knife, still without a
statement, turned around-the dog
turned, too-waIked through the
kitchen, through the dining room and

fire that rang through the old high
school building here, where 200 pupils
of St. Johns parochiaI school, re-
Gently destroyed by fire, had as

through a window suffered a broken
arm.
The pupils were still nervous from
their recollection of the fire on Octo-
Der g. which resulted in the loss of
twenty-one lives. The sight of steam
escaping from a radiator frightened
one of the pupils and his shrill cry
was followed by the stampede.

In remote Alpine hamlets and vi

land. there still exist ancient and pref
ty customs Of proposing marriage 10y
the language Of flowers. II a maid
accepts a bouquet Of edelweiss from
man she at the same time accepts him
~ her funce, the idea being that the
man has risked his life to obtain the
flowers for the woman he loves. An
other method which exists in the can
ton Of Glarus is for the young man to
place a fowerpot containing a single
rose and a note on the window sill Of
the girls room when she is absent
from home and wait-perhaDs days
for a reply. If the maid takes the rose
the young man boldly enters the house
to arrange matters with her parents
but If the rose is allowed to fade away
the proposal is rejected without a sin
gle word having been exchanged be
tween the couple, Sometimes a fickic
girl viii keep a young man waiting a
day or two for an answer but what
sver it may be 1t is final.
