with the beautiful maiden. He gave
orders to Ais gardener to take par
ticular care Of this plant.
One day his sisters were in the gar
den and amused themselves by play
ing on his flute. Again the beautiful
girl stepped out of the Rosemary
bush. The sisters, regarding her as
an intruderg and who were jealous of
her beauty. struck her. From that
time the plant began to droop and
wither. The gardener, fearing the
anger of the king, fled into the wood.
and at midnight he overheard two
dragons talking to each other. One
dragon remarked that the Rosemary
could only be restored by sprinkling
it with dragons blood. When the
gardener heard this he attacked and
killed them and, taking some of the
blood, poured it upon the roots OF the
plant, thus breaking the spell and
bringing to life the Princess Rosa
Maria, who had been invisibly chained
by an enchantment which could only
be broken by the music of the flute.
/ The king came to her and they were
married with great spIendor and lived
happily ever after.

There is activity in the office Of the

ton for the winter which is soon to
close in. The activity is rot so much
streets and public works of Topeka, as
on account of the unemployment
which exists in the city.
With an eye directly to the need OF

peka when the weather grows more
Indictment, Commissioner of Public
Works w. S. Hancock and City En-
gineer w. E. Baldry are preparing ,
sewer program which calls for the
laying of a total of eleven blocks of
sewers before spring.
One OF the projects is for storm
sewer, the other for a sanitary sewer.
The sanitary sewer is to be laid in
three alleys in the west part OF town.
Plans for it are nearly complete, and
the benefit district has been organized.
Sewer District No. IS.
The sanitary sewer will run from
Twentieth street to Hampton street,
distance of three blocks. in the al
leys between Lincoln and Rucha1an
street; between Buchanan and clay
streets. and between Clay and Fill
more streets. The district will be
known as Sewer District No. 3d."
The three lines of sewer down the
adjoining alleys will all connect with
the sewer now IN place on LWenuetn
street.
The storm sewer has not been defi-
nitely located or planned. but It Will
take care of the territory bounded on
the north by Tenth avenue. on the
east by West street, and on the south
by Huntoon street and on the west by
Boswell avenue.
The storm sewer will be known as
an "intercepting sewer"-designed to
take care only of storm water. There
is already a sanitary sewer located
there.
To Merge Benefit Districts.
The benefit district for the con-
struction of the storm sewer will be
formed by the merging of several ex-
listing benefit districts.
In addition to the sewer work out
lined, there will be a good deal OF
work connected with the construction
of outlets for two OF the city sewers
on the Kaw river, the plans for which
were approved by the city commission
this week.
I'VE have work enough ON hand to
| keep the department busy all winter, .
Baldry says. And thru the contrac-
tors to whom the jobs are awarded,
a good many Topeka men who would
! otherwise be out of work, will get reg
ular pay checks during the winter"

A Fairy Story.

Once upon a time there was a
queen who was most unhappy be-
cause she had no children As she
was walking in her garden she saw
beautiful Rosemary bush and shs be-
gan weeping bitterly. saying, Even
this plant has branches and blossoms,
while 1, who long for a child, have
none" The next morning when she
awoke she was surprised to see the
plant by her bedside She had it pot
ted and cared for it herself.
Her nephew, who was the King Of
Spain. came to visit her. and noticing
that she took great care of it imag-
ined that it must be something very
rare, so he stole it and took it away
with him to his kingdom One day
when he was playing the flute in his
garden he was astonished to see a
beautiful princess emerge from the
bush. He was so startled that he
dropped his flute, and the maiden dis
appeared. The king was very unhap-

'The nation has gone
To the bow-wows for fair;
You have 20 chain everything
Fast to the place
Or they'll steal your pet spectacles
Off Of your face"
Then he jumped il his limousine,
Gave her the gas
And tried to see how many cars
He could pass.
He sped to an orchard.
Where fine apples grew,
And slipped thru the fence,
Just to sample a few;
Then piled in the tonneau
A generous heap,
For with no one in sight
Golden apples were cheap.
Yes, the nation has gone

With each of us helping
In sending her there

Spain the famous Madonna was found
and carried off to Paris, where it was
later exhibited as the work of Murillo.
Because it came from Spain and Mu-
rillo was the only Spanish painter
known to have painted Madonnas.
After the downfall Of Napoleon the
painting disappeared. There were in
definite rumors from time to time of
its being in America.
In 1912 P. E. Duffee discovered 1t in
the garnet of a private residence in
Boston and it now hangs in his studio
on Boylston street in that city. The
discovery was the termination of a
search extending over many years.

during the time that Boss was holding
county office he played a command
ing part in county and Third district
politics. serving one term as chairman
of the Republican county central com
mittee, and in 1918 was unanimously
elected to the bench in Cherokee
county, which is a complete Judicial
district by itself, court sessions being
held at both Columbus and Galena.
A Popular Judge.
In that position Judge Boss has
proven himself so popular by his abiI-
lty and fairness that it is frequently
asserted by many that he can remain
on the bench as long as he desires,
and this opinion is held by the follow
ers Of both political parties, but there
is reported to be a general feeling in
that section Of the state that he IS
slated for something higher via the
political route.
Judge Boss's conduct of the Howat
trial suddenly threw him into national
prominence and brought forth col
toriai columns of the newspapers OF
the country. but eurbed by both his
natural and judicial modesty. the
judge has refrained from making a
statement The nearest approach was
the remark that he did what he
thought was right all the way thru
and that It was a source of great salts
faction to know that the law abiding
element of the country approved,
which was contained in a letter writ
ten to one of his friends in Topeka.

times and in different ways since the
year 1890 from the several Italian
states and from the cities of northern
Italy. According to a treaty between
the two nations negotiated in 1866,

Also, Italy has compelled Austria to
relinquish and return a large number
of valuable manuscripts and works Of
art removed from the Trentino and
other frontier provinces during the
late war, when it seemed imminent

his part.
As result he was found dead
early today in an alley, shot while
trying to steal an automobile, police
say.
Anthony Buldack. a theater own
er. told the police he had fired two
shots at a man whom he. caught
running his machine out of a ga
rage, but thatNthe robber had run
away. Five hours later the body
was picked up.
Young Gardner escaped from the
Bowmanville Correctional School on
February IS, and has been dodg ing
the authorities ever since. 1t was
found today that he had been living
in the home of another boy whom
he met at the Bowmanville institu-
tion. Most Of his time had been
spent in poolrooms. His friend per-
mitted him to use his bicycle and
his days were occupied in riding.
Presumably he picked up enough
by petty larceny to provide funds
for his entertainment in the pool
rooms.
He sneered at work and went
after the easy money. Last night he
paid the price.
