CARD OF THANKS.
SUBSCRIBER.

To my dear friends:
I want to speak a word of graft
tude to all of you for myself and
family, for the numerous letters of
coincidence that you have so thought
fully written US while we were try
ing to bear the severe shock of be-
reavement in the loss of our dear boy.
We feel more than we can express
to v" in words, for this great source
of comfort. While it is almost unbear-
able, it is so consoling to know that
we have so many kind and loving
friends that sympathize with US
when the deep and dark shadows of
bereavement come into our homes
and hearts. do not I'VE any one
could survive such a trial without
loving friends and an abiding faith
in our merciful heavenly Father.
Let me say to each of you that the
reflex influence of your letters may
bring joy and comfort to your hearts.
Remember the words of the Lord Je-
sus when He said to His disciples:
"Inasmuch as you do it unto the least
of these, my brethren, ye do it unto
me-"

In Memory of Our Dear Little
Baby, Waunita.

We think. the SAVIOUR sayeth,
As long ago He said,
''Thy little darling only sleepeth,
She sleeps and is not dead"
We wonder why God took her,
We weep and wonder why
The lovely little blossom
So soon should fade and die.
And yet Thy will be done, O Father
We know it must be best.
That pure and little darling one
Sleeps on her Saviour's breast.
Forever free from sorrow,
Forever free from care,
Time shall not change her beauty,
In the golden years to come,
Oh, fathers heart that loved her,
Oh, mothers heart that weeps,
Our Saviour is shepherd,
His angels all He keeps.
She shall not want, nor grieve,
But in the pastures green
Well meet her in the morning,
There's but a night between.
Dear one, you cannot come to US,
But you are ever in our minds,
And God be willing, we will meet
On the resurrection morn.
Written by her sister, Mrs. j. =
Agner.

ri Fl" A BIG SUCCESS
Crowded House Saw First Perform
ance at the Grand.

Fiji of the Toy Shop" is a success
A crowded house enjoyed this musical
fantasy at the Grand Thursday night
and pronounced it one of the most en-
joyable entertainments of the season.
The fact that it was not presented by
professionals did not detract from its
excellence. The best talent in Topeka,
including 200 clever youngsters. aided
in making the production a winner,
and the vehicle itself had plenty of
merit
Miss Marguerite Gohlke's singing
numbers had the same rich, pleasing
tone that has always marked her. l.
E Henry and Hugh Smith scored a
triumph also in their selections. Miss
Gohlke assumed the part of "Fi-Ff
very cIeverly and Jim" Doncyson
was very realistic as Captain Barnacle.
Other principals. whose work was
artistic were Miss Eva johnson, Mano
Morris. A. f. Springer, Miss Bernice
Beggs. Miss Katherine AlbauSh. w. w.
Watson, c. K. Kenyon and many 9TH
ers.
Miss Marie Vancil and $50 pretty
Topeka girls of very tender years
made a wonderful hit in the Honey
bees honeymoon song. The costum-
ing was quite attractive. and the music
was just right for such a production.
The show will be repeated for the last
time at the Grand tonight. 5. ].

FIGHT FOR DOCS
Kings VIII Spend Money To
Protect Their Lives.
Lawyers Offer To Fight Cases
without Charges.

Hundreds of dollars have been
spent in the past and hundreds viii
be spent in the future to give Topeka s
dogs a square deal, according to a
statement made today at the court
house by Kate and Kilmaurs King,
humane officers.
We're not going to say much until
we do something" said Kate King,
We have legal talent by the bushel
offered to us free and we're going to
see the dogs thru their troubles. But
first We are going to find just where
we stand before the court"
The Kings admitted the official city
dog catcher had the power to handle
dogs rougher than any person in To-
peka. Just where the line of demar-
cation begins is the proposition puz-
zling the Kings at this time.
That much criticism of the present
unsettled condition existing, among
the dogs in Topeka due to the recent
actions of city and state officials has
been heard by the Kings was admit
ted today First, and foremost, the
Kings wish to point out that dogs
can't read signs and the only way to
keep them off certain sacred spots on
state house grounds to to put a fence
around those places.

TO CHARGE FORGERY
Warrant VIII Be Issued for Larkin,
Fisher Announces.

A warrant charging Clyde E. Larkin
with forgery will be issued late today.
according to Hugh T. Fisher. county
attorney. Larkin at present is in the
city Jail following his arrest at the Pei
letter store Thursday afternoon where
it is claimed he attempted to cash a
worthless check for $3.50. Later. &C
cording to officials. it became known
he had cashed a check for $1O.75 on
the Palace Clothing Co.
1t is claimed when the youth was
arrested, the 17-year-old daughter OF
we'll known Topekan was with him
and the police claim that as the result
of an investigation they learn Larkin
not only courted the girl but also heI
pocketbook. In fact. according to the
police, the girl attempted to borrow
money for him.
The police are inclined to believe
feminine financial aid is a business
with Larkin. This suspicion is based
upon a letter from a friend of Larkin' s
| in Texas and found on his person in
which the following question is asked
rs Che dance han business going
fine with you now?"
I Iarkin's clothes were OF the best
and his dancing is described as won
derful. His alleged profession, that
of soda fountain squirt" gave him
| an excellent opportunity to get a line
| on the girls, the police say.

new TEETH FOR TILLIE
County Commissioners Want "A
Guarantee on Next Set.

Getting a set of false teeth for TIL
lie. an inmate of the county farm, was
one of the problems confronting the
Shawnee county commissioners TINS
morning. The teeth in Titles head
were described by the county physl-
clan as useless and worn out.
II am perfectly willing for Tillie to
get the teeth" said A. A. Rodgers,
chairman of the board of commits
sioners But l want to be sure they
are good teeth this time. III stand
for the expense but 1 want guaran-
tee"
SO Tillie, prize bread baker at the
county farm for fourteen years, will
be in Topeka tomorrow for new set
of teeth. County commissioners say
that baking bread is Titles hobby and
she takes little interest in anything
else. She is now 40-odd years of age.
Her first set of false teeth have proven
to be an absolute failure.

DIR. c. H. Ewing, of Larned, will
be a candidate for delegate to the Re-
publican national convention from the

REAL DOC DAYS!
That Is What McGiffert Is Be-
ginning To Believe.
Thursday Day of Dog-gone.
Trouble for Him.

Thursday was a day of dog-gone
troubles for Commissioner Robert D.
MeGiffert. Until far into the night
the telephone at his residence rang.
McGiffert believes that all the dog
owners in the city of Topeka called up
to ask for information as to what ae-
tivities were permitted dogs.
McGiffert stated this morning that
he wished to have ii clearly under
stood that the ordinance referred to
on Thursday was the particular clause
defining the legal activities of female
dogs. The ordinance provides that no
female dog. whether its tax is paid or
unpaid, may be allowed to run loose
on the streets except when the animal
is in charge of and with its owner or
keeper.
Use for Dead Dogs.
According to a report the city of
Louisville, KY. recently sold 161 dead
dogs and IA dead cats to a refinery.
receiving the munificent sum of S5.42
for the assortment. 1t was suggested
that the rumored truck load of dead
dogs in Topeka Thursday be fed to
animals at the city zoo. McGiffert did
not have anything to say.
No War on Dogs.
1t was at the instigation of many
citizens who called the park depart
ment strenuously objecting to allow
ing a condition which had become a
thoro nuisance to continue that the
first step was taken to breaking up the
dog organization that has for several
weeks infested the state house
grounds. Many complaints have come
in from other sources within radius
of many blocks about the state capital
voicing strenuous objections to an un-
desirable condition

Pershing Sheds Tears at
Sight of Wounded
Soldiers.

New York, March IL (by A. P)-
Tears rolled down the cheeks of Gen,
Pershing, while visiting wounded Of.
ficers and men aboard the hospital
ship Mercy at Bordeaux February
"a. according to the stories of the
3s1 soldiers who arrived here to-day
on the ship from the French port.
Gen. Pershing made two visits to
the ship with his staff. it is said, on
the day of embarkation and on each
occasion passed through the lines Of
wounded men in the double tiers of
cots on each side and praised and
comforted them. Once he stopped
at the cot of wounded marine who
had lost a leg. He shook the soldiers
hands and in a tone of pride and SYM
pathy declared: "You boys are won
derful fighters"
Later he came across a young sol
der in the surgical ward who was
badly crippled. The General with
fatherly solicitude for his welfare re-
marked: boy, you are real man.
Then addressing the others in the
ward the tears came to his eyes, and
the old fighter who had won fame in
the Indian uprisings, the Spanish
American War. the PHILIPPINE Island
instruction and the great war, ex-
tclled the valor Of the new veterans.
Nothing is too good for you, he
commented as he babe the boys good
