Here! Come back!" cried Tip, in

And the Gump obeyed. slowly and

air until the Thing had settled once
more upon the roof and become still.
This" said the Gump, in a squeaky
voice not at all proportional to the
size of its great body, lis the most
novel experience 1 ever heard of. The
last thing I remember distinctly Is
walking thru the forest and hearing
loud noise. Something probably
killed me then, and it certainly ought
to have been the end of me. Yet here
am, alive again, with four monstrous
wings and a body which 1 venture to
say would make any respectable ami

Tip, with a Gump's head on II. And

AN IMPORTANT SALE.

The sale of the knights and Ladies
of Security block at Seventh and
Kansas avenue, announced in the news
columns of this paper today, shows
again the confidence of our merchants
in the future of Topeka and supple
ments the sale of last week of a single
building nearby for 100000.
A Topeka man. this morning gave
out this expressions: What does the
sale of this building by the knights
and Ladies of Security mean? Does it
mean that the order is somewhat af-
fronted at the action of the attorney
general in not sanctioning the merger
of the Topeka society with the Fra
ternaI Aid; or does it mean that in
the future the knights and Ladies of
Security contemplate the erection of
bigger building in another location =?
Or. following the erection of The Ho-
tel Kansan,' turn their National hotel
property into a more profitable Of
flee block?"
The latter view is the more plausible
one. 1t is declared by those we'll in
formed that the merger of the two
societies would be of paramount inn
portance in three respects.
First, it would be wonderful thing
for Topeka.
Second, it would be a fine thing for
the state.
Third, and probably most important
it is said to be of untold advantage to
the membership of both orders.
The conditions brought about by the
war and by the influenza epidemic are
going to bring about many similar
mergers over the country and Topeka
should take advantage of the situation
It is hoped that the attorney general
will find nothing in the merger con-
trary to law; that is understood to be
| his real duty in the matter

Gates that the college is getting in line
to profit by the enormous means, not

to our farmers following the wheat
harvest and from which Topeka and
all of her institutions for many years

The people of this city are back of
Washburn college and of President
Womer. No little difference upon the
part of a member of the faculty or a
former member of the faculty, is 60

BoLsHEv1sM IN ACTION.

Operation of industries by any form
of government is bad enough but
when that form of government hap
pens to be Bolshevist, the results ap-
pear to be the worst possible.
What Bolshevism on the job, in full
working array, will do is described in
Forbes Magazine by Jacob de Julin,
president of the Commercial Mission
of the Finnish Government. Early in
January of last year while on a BUSH
ness trip to Helsingfors he was warned
that the Reds had taken over his plant
at Lake Sauna, promoted a machine
oiler to the post of manager. dis
Charged most of the original working
force, every one of which was glad to
escape, and had undertaken to run the
plant according to true Bolshevist
rules. The result was that without
technical direction and trained execu-
tive skill they managed to run the mill
exactly two weeks, and thereafter ii
months supply of food-which was
short in Finland-at the plant. The
Bolsheviki took it over and divided it
BY the time the White Guard. or anti
Bolshevist. troops. arrived on April
rs. this food was all gone, for the Reds
had not only eaten double rations but
had sold much of it.
Finally the White Guard forced the
Reds to surrender-and Mr.. Julin was
again in charge of the plant. Out OF
1000 employees only $50 were left; the
rest having fled or been made prison
ers.
The net result of Bolshevism in the
plant was idleness for everybody anC
comfort for nobody for nearly all o.
the three months because of the lacl
! of skilled men. waste of food and raw
materials. with starvation in It's wake
terrorism, disorder. looting and rob
berry. And after Mr.. Julin resumed
control of the plant it took him Mint
months to restore it to normal eff
ciency-nine months to repair the raw
ages of three.

Each of the four wings was first light

were sprinkled. and the broom given a

Everything must have a head to d.

So Tip abided by this decision and
sprinkled the Gump's head with the

But don't lose your faith when it's your

There's seldom a Joy but a case follows
after;
Make much Of the loved ones who tenderiy
But don't expect trouble and heartnchs to

Don't call life unjust when it's your time
