she was too poro to care for her.
The only evidence in her favor is
the name under which the child was
registered at the orphanage.
She says she can't bear to have her
child known as the baby of another
woman.
To complicate affairs for the IL ju.
rymen who will have to decide which
woman is the child's mother, the
baby looks like both of them.
All are blondes. although Mrs.
Trumper's hair. is lighter. All have
blue eyes.
If Mrs. Trumper is acquitted. she
will get the baby. If found guilty of
kidnapping she will not only lose the
child, but may be sent to the peni.
tentiary. The maximum penalty is
five years.

A blue-eyed, three-year-old girl, reg
istered at st. Peters orphanage as
Valda Margaret Wahlquist, wants to
know.
Mrs. Ollie Randle Trumper says
she is the child's legal mother. She
has been charged with kidnapping the
baby from the orphanage.
Mrs. Lena Purvis Wahlquist is the
other claimant
The only plea on either side is
mother love. Z
According to testimony, Mrs. Trum-

side resorts, where the billowy |
waves enfolds one in their cooling
embrace and the tang of the sea-
breeze restores ones tagging ener-
gies. In obedience to the trite
phrase, DUTY before pleasure,
we shall continue to devote our
physical energies to affairs of
state! for the remainder of the
season, but even this strict and
conscientious adherence to our
physical obligations need not in
terfere with our two-months' an
nual vacation trip. Hence, this
Sunday afternoon finds US casting
about in recollection's large do
main for suitable itinerary.
Europe is out of the question,
for life is too strenuous over there
just now for foreign tour to be
taken for any reason other than
that of transacting most urgent
business. Likewise the various
beaches have become so infested
with the denizens of the great
deep who, having observed during
the past two years the utter disre-
gard in which human life is held
by the most civilized and erudite
nations of earth, have assembled
at the seaside resorts and are
there giving oft-recurring evil
dences of their readiness to adapt
themselves to the life-destroying |
demands of higher civilization (?).
Where, then, shall we 60? All!
we have it now! What better than
to take a two-months' trip thru the
Middle West?
We are at Kansas City, Mo-,
standing in the old red-brick, anti
quated Noah's ark of depot that
for so many years was the butt OF
the jokesmiths, an eyesore to the
city, an inconvenience to the
travelling public and blot on the
fair escutcheon of the city's enter
prise. Be it said to the credit of
the Kansas City of to-day, how
ever, that she now has a Union
Depot to which she may point with
pride. Far removed from the
flood-swept regions of the West
Bottoms, where stood the old often
submerged relic, it stands on high
ground we'll to the south of the
busy marts of trade and traffic of
that throbbing, pulsing city OF the
Near West.
It has been cur pleasure to take
but one trip thru this city
since her new depot was opened
for traffic, but that one trip was
made so pleasant because of the
commodiousness of the building
and the facility with which our
every need was supplied, that we
look forward with much anticipa-
ton to the time when, liberty |
crowned, we shall again, pass
thru its portals on a real, flesh
and-blood vacation.
To-day, however, we are enjoy
ing but reincarnation Of for
mer trip and must perforce be
content to pass thru the old,
tlme-worn structure of the old
Kansas City. We have exchanged

none of them were for more than
one base. In the second frame
four bases on balls mixed in with
two hits and two errors produced
seven runs for the home team ard
one score was added in each inning
up to and including the sixth. It
was thought the locals had some
thing of cinch. At the begin
ming of the eighth the score was II
to in our favor. Then the boys
spilled the beans ri ght and about
every grounder hit to the infeld
was frightfully mishandled; five
errors and two hits coming in quick
succession, netting the visitors six
runs. The throwing was some
thing atrocious and the ball seldom
went within ten feet of it's sup
posed destination. In the ninth,
although the errors kept up,
River Falls made certain of it by
cracking out four hits. The locals
had two on with none down in their
half of the final frame, and single
