A Topeka man who returned from
school last year certainly found him
self in a peculiar muddle the other
night when he called out at the house
of the young person to whom he is to
be married soon. She wouldn't speak
to him. Finally he found out the
trouble. The ring he had given her,
the cameo and also a bracelet had
become slightly worn and that day
when cleaning the pieces. she had dis
covered that they had initials other
than her own engraved on them. OF
course, that was all easy enough to
explain and he told her all about how
the jeweler must have been selling
his worn goods, but here's the story.
Several years ago when he was
away at school, and by the way he was
very popular young person, he felt
the need of keeping on hand some
jewelry sort of stock in trade, you
know. So he bought a ring, a cameo
and a bracelet. He used them several
times and each time the engagement
was broken. Finally one little miss who
had whispered yes" her fluffy head
on his shoulder, decided she wanted
the set engraved. Now here was
difficulty he hadn't counted on But
they were engraved NJ. NJ. to ]. C.
Well. the novelty of this engagement
wore off. like the jc'velry did later
and they were given lck.
Now the young man being a thrifty
soul took them to a jeweler and had
once more. Finally they came to the
Topeka girl in the same manner that
they had been acquired by the prede
cessors. And then they wore off.
The Topeka man is certainly thankful
that the former possessors of the set
don't make their homes here, other
wise things might become rather ex-
citing.

THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who was speaking the other day of
certain incidents which had happened
when she was younger Some one
asked her If one particular happening
took place while she and the man who
is now her husband were engaged.
LET me think" said the woman:
sometimes we were engaged and
sometimes we were not. but 1 believe
when that happened we were not. 1
think my ring was being carried
around in Wills pocket and that
was standing guard over several
punches of returned letters, a stick
pin or two and was explaining to the
family how my eyes were liable to get
dreadfully red when I had a cold
