TOPEKA TROLLEY TALK.
This morning on an early car COM
ing down town, trim looking young
woman, in smart business costume
sat in one end of the car absorbed in
the occupation of knitting. She knew
how to knit, too: for her needles flew
fast, and she made all kinds of head
way on the muffler or the wristlets
that will protect some poor sailor
against the cold blasts of next July,
which is about the time the article
will be ready for the firing line.

THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
But gather round close and let's
gossip about her. She is so solicitous
over the comings and goings of her
husband that he accounts for about
every minute of his time to her, and
never yet has he had a fling I'M
known to her. One day he concocted
the prettiest little, goodness
| scheme that showed no seams in the
weaving, and would, to all appear
ances, hold weather on every side This
was the way he planned: He tele-
phoned his wife to pack up a few
necessary articles in his grip, and meet
! him at the train, as he had a business
| call to Chicago. Just put in a clean
collar. his pajamas and his tooth
brush and meet him with them at the
station. This she did, and kissed him
goodby when he boarded his train.
