A new book by Kansas woman is
called the Cresap Pension, and is the
of Kansas City Mrs. Vaughn has APP
peared before the public an author
previously. She wrote The Lower Blu
reau Drawer, and Where Shall 1 Be
Next Christmas, so that novel she has
just published will find a public al
ready prepared to expect something Of
interest from her pen.
The new book concerns a peculiar
pension fraud. The scene of the story
is laid in Missouri and partly in Kan
sas, and supreme court judge and a
/ United States senator from this state,
/ figure in it. The story is one that holds
the interest from first to last, and in
spite of the tragedies it records in
quick succession, it has a fair share
of sparkle through its pages. 1t stops
to discuss the pension drawing sys-
/ TEN, denouncing the practice of taking
a pension from the government by SOL
diers who were not actually disabled
/ by wounds or exposure during the war.
1t also digresses to argue the race
question that is particularly near to
the south. And it presents an angle
of the institution of slavery that con-
Germs the mixing of the races.
Mrs. Vaughn is member of the
Kansas Authors club, and frequently
comes to Topeka to attend their meet
ings, and to visit friends in this city.
