home in Miller, Kansas Mrs. Miller,
not being a politician, has no difficulty
in seeing the bright side of her hus-
bands defeat in his race for congress

peka and enjoys making her home
here; and Mr.. Miller, having sat in
the game before, knows it's chances

will take it's accustomed place in the
social life of the town. In which it
