A woman just home from Kansas
City tells me that she saw a certain
bachelor who used to live here and is
now making his home in Kansas City,
dlning at the Meuhlebach, with an ex-
tremely beautiful woman. This man
always has a taste for nick-nacks, and
in Topeka we all remember how he
about had his choice of two or three
nice looking women. His good luck
pursues him, and handsome women
still eat out of his hand.

Isn't it queer what things will in
fluence voters in making up their ball
lot. One woman says that she voted
for a certain candidate because his op-
ponent has sent her about a half dozen
letters which she always found in her
mailbox when she was looking for
letter from her sister. Her prejudice
against that candidate bit in so deeply
that she cast her vote for the other
man in whose success she had not the
slightest interest
