Just when the peaceful spirit of the
day had settled over the city, news of !
colonel Roosevelt's arrival in Topeka
leaked out It spread rapidly. and by
II O'Clock, it was generally reported |
that he would attend services at the |
Methodist meeting house. When the
familiar figure. wearing the broad
br1mmed felt, the Prince Albert. big
glasses. and the stubby mustache was
discovered in company with some |
Santa Fe officials, the last vestige of |
interest IN IN women's garments shifted |
to the visitor. After everyone had
ceased to care what the fashion ex-
perts decreed was the last word in I
feminine apparel it became known /
that Mr. Roosevelt was not in the city |
AFTER all 1t was up to someone to !
explain the excitement. The man who /
had been mistaken for the former |
president declares it was all on ac-
count OF the hat. He has always worn /
the tall silk one for Sundays and holt
days, but last week he slipped. He
took side glance at a Kansas ave |
nue. window. 1t was a pretty win
dow, and the Santa Fe official stop
ped --latest creations in hats were |
grouped in advantageous array. Fifty /
seven varieties were there but the /
tall silk tile was missing. He thought /
1t over, went into the store and con-
ferred with clerk, and was convinced /
that his silk one would not be among 4

affairs of finance were simple, when |
compared with the problem of choos- |
ing new style OF hat. Finally one |
was elected. It had plenty of brim. /
an abundance of color and one side /
was fastened up He harbored that |
hat in his home for three days. with |
out intimatins that it was to dispIace |
the conservative tall silk tile. Re |
garding the future OF the new hat, |
the owner refused to talk
"Oh, that hat-yes. yes-that hat /
-ah, yes" and he pressed a button. |
In came the stenographer. "A little |
dictation. please" he said. The inter /
view was over !
