Mrs PribbIe of SaIina, hopes to
organize a committee in her town, and
gain a good many adoptions in that
place.
They say that one of our pretty
society girls is wearing a big, hand
some diamond set in platinum, pre-
sumably the gift of a Topeka man,
and that a certain eastern man, who
supposed he had the right of way is
simply raving.
THERE'S a GIRL IN OUR TOWN
Who has qualified as a dog fighter.
Two days ago she was a novice at that
business. Her experience cost her
rather heavily, but she boldly pro-
claims herself an expert now. Her
own dog, Kaiyai. was nosing about
yesterday, and encountered a. bulldog
"a Dutch bulldog, too. Trouble start
ed. and the two bounded onto the
verandah, where our heroine was
peacefully reading. She saw how Kali
yai was exhibiting distress signals
from the torpedo attack the Dutch
bulldog had launched at him. She
seized an umbrella and wrecked it on
the back of the militant caller. He
paid it no more attention than if 1t
had been a note from President Will
son. So she laid violent hands on the
bow-wow's ears and twiNted them into
knots. He quickly released his hold
on Kaiyai and seized her by the arm.
There was a whirligig of skirts and
DOG on the big, comfy looking porch
of a certain Harrison street house for
while, and mingled cries from the
human and the canine threats. No
dog killer seemed to be passing at
that time. and no help came. Finally
the girl bethought her of the ear
twist again and applied it with her
free hand. 1t worked. and she and
the dog let go simultaneously.
The salvage from the wreck in
cludes; One umbrella. one ruined
afternoon gown, one mutilated porch
rug, three sad looking porch pillows
three trips to the doctor, one bottle of
witch hazel liniment for Kaiyai's
wounds, and no end of information on
the science of bulldog fighting, con-
sisting chiefly in 4 knowledge of the
rule that in rescuing a French dog
from Dutch dog, grab the assault
ing party by the hind legs and pull,
but do not twist the ears
