had the time of her baby career
watching the Kouns fire. 1t was the
most exciting thing that had hap
pened in the block since she was born.
So the next time she saw Mrs. Kouns
she promptly demanded of her when
she was going to have another fire.
But this little fire eater had deep
running grain of religion with it ALL
Her grandfather made her a visit just

and expect to be sent abroad at any

The only conversation one hears
these days is of the army, and the dear
old romance of other days takes rear
seat. And speaking of the army, they
tell me that Bud Quinton-excuse me-.

He has risen in the army like rock

AT banquet the other night Cap
tain Waters told the company a bit
of Kansas history. He spoke of the
friendship of Abraham Lincoln for
the late Judge Archibald Williams,
the first federal district judge in Kan
sas, who received his appointment
from Lincoln. But there was some
thing else in connection with Judge
Williams career that Captain Waters

people know; that is, that Judge Will
liams was offered a place on the
bench of the United States supreme
court by Lincoln, before he accepted
the appointment in Kansas. He was
a man of sufficient bigness of soul to
decline for the reason that his health
was poor and he knew that his life
was nearly finished. He felt that the
place should be filled by an appointee
of Lincoln, which might have been
made impossible had he accepted and

There is a story going the rounds

He seems to be a captain (by cour-
tesy) but he gives himself all the airs
of a West Pointer who has earned ad-
vancement by active military service
In fact, he covers himself with far
more glory than the genuine military
leader ever pretends to bestow upon
himself. 1t seems that his title was
given him soon after his graduation
from a business college. He is quoted
as saying that he didn't have to take
his hat off to any women, inasmuch
