THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
! Who lives near Washburn college.
The other day as she boarded a street
car to- come down town she sat beside
a little girl of seven or eight years of
age who also was going down town
/ to take her elocution lesson. In very
prim and precise manner. the little
person began to talk to the Washburn
woman. She told her all about the
J elocution lessons and then suddenly,
as tho thinking of a tremendously big
thought burst out, I've got a new
baby cousin "Oh. how nice" said her
companion. Yes" continued the little
| entertainer, my Aunt Sadie has new
baby. and the funniest thing, when my
Uncle Jim heard about it, the very
next day he left and went out to Cali
fornia on a trip. He went on bust
ness, tho she continued, as tho fear
] ing her listener would receive the
| wrong impression of Uncle Jim's char
| acter. Il wish he'd come back, but
| just bet" she continued after a mo-
ment's silence, that If that baby had
been twins he wouldn't ever come
back And the Washburn woman
with a solemn face but with a twinkle
in her eye agreed.
