IT'S HARD ON THE HENS.
Being cooped in crate, cooped in
a crate as one is cooped in a crate
down on Crane street. near the filthy,
sinking Kaw river-being cooped in
a crate, with more hens than a crate

hens. But it gives one a sense of

man, of the filthy, sinking Kaw river,
from one crate to another, one crate

TOWN:
Dear s. R.: You don't mind my
writing you. do you? knowing that
Agatha is too busy with nearer, dearer
| things than the tittle-tattle of society,
and that the club woman is too busy
discussing the recent election and club
house plans to take time to write, /
| wonder if 1 might not fill in the gap.
1t is generally believed that we men
have minds above society gossip. But
I'm going to let you in on a secret.
We dearly love bit O. news. We may
frown on the sort that breaks up fami-
| lies and creates heartache; and we

| her city. Not long ago she sold hel
