THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who not so very long ago had son, !
ILL., at home. He is one of the well |
known young chaps of Topeka and the
bunch thought it would be fine |
time to play a joke on both him and !
his mother. So one night they slipped |
downtown and appropriated one of |
the city's red lanterns kept at danger |
Gus crossings, and boldly went up to |
the boys home. They told his mother, |
when she answered the ring, that they |
had been sent down by the health de- |
partment with the red lantern and |
that the department asked that she |
light the lantern each evening and !
place it in front of the house and al }
low it to remain there thru the night
as long as the boy was ill. After ex- |
planning in detail where to place the !
light, they very courteously left for |
vantage point across the street to /
watch the woman in our town light
the lantern.
Well. she lighted it and kept it there
all night. The next night she did the
same thing, getting up several times
to see if it was still burning, the third
night she cleaned it and again placed
it out in front of the house, and it
wasn't until the fourth day that it be-
gan to dawn on her that the whole
thing was Joke.
