cleaned from the criminal docket,
calls to mind a bit of private history
of the man arraigned for the crime,
when lie moved in respectable circles
in Topeka town. This is real history
! and frankly a preachment. If you
| don't like it. pass it by right here.
This young chap concerned came
! up to Topeka from the country or
village somewhere in the state. He
/ had no friends in town and found
| difficulty in getting acquainted with
anyone except the few that he met at
his work, the man who sold him cigars.
and the conductor on whose car he
rode to business every day. In an
effort to find friends he Joined the
Young peoples society of one of the
large churches of the city. He was
no dude in appearance; he did not
shave the back of his head half way
to the crown; he had no shell trimmed
glasses with a trolley hanging from
one side of them. and there have beer
better fitting suits than his. He found
[ a little less warmth in his welcome
than he expected. After while the
girls began remarking about his
locks. and before long both the girls
and the young men were making
rather pointed remarks in his hear
ing. He understood the freeze out
and hunted new friends where the at
rICSphere was less icy. The girls he
next met were the girls who oglied
Lin when lie passed them on the
( street. He began to have all the COM
partnership he could make use of. and
the old story that grows out of mans
instinct for sociability, was repeated
in his case. He finally went to Kan
sas City, charging his field of friendly
relations in the larger district of the
underworld. A few days ago the law
got him. This is not saying, CT course,
that it is not within the province of
every mans right to choose his own
friends but for an organization that
has as part of its creed the enter
tainment of strangers the snubbing
the lad got, looks a bit like undue dis
| elimination, ard the man who tells the
story, remembering the chap in the
days of his innocency, is downright
sore about it.
THERE'S a WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who is a bacteriologist. One eve
ming she prepared some germ cul-
lures for tests the next morning.
She awoke in the middle of the night
feeling cold, rose and found that the
fire in the furnace had gone out To
keep the little bugs from getting cold
and spelling her designs on them, she
gathered them together and bound
them onto herself above her heart,
to keep them snug and warm. The
next morning she found her family
of bacteria in a lusty condition and
all in trim for the days work.
