Well, Elizabeth, Topeka girls are
not "slow" when it comes to doing
things in an original way. One of the
girls who has had trouble with wool
stocks. the feet Of which are so hot
and the rest of them too sticky" has
invented a way to- get the desired eff
feet without the. results. She simply
puts on a pair of-sillx' hose first, then
over them comes a pair of wooden
ones with the feet cut out and the
edges crocheted around.

THERE'S a WOMAN IN OUR TOWN.
Who discovered a negro burglar in
her home one forenoon a few days
ago. Did she scream? She did not.
Instead she kindly invited the in
truder to leave, and he did.
Our woman was upstairs when she
heard a noise below, but gave no heed,
thinking it was made by the neighbours
dog. She heard the noise a second
time and still thought little about it.
When it came to her ears a third time
she suspected that something was
wrong and went down back stair
way which connected with the kitchen.
She found nothing unusual there and
walked into the front part of the
house, wondering what had caused the
disturbance. Then she saw a big black
hand on the stairway banister-the
negro was stealthily making his way
to the second floor. Now was the time
for the woman to scream and faint s
most of US would, but it didn't hap
pen in this case. She firmly demanded
of the negro that he tell her where he
was going and why. He mumbIed a
few words about wanting to look for
something and was informed that he
should have rung the door bell before
coming in. Then the intruder heard
himself called a robber, thief and all
around bad mar; he was accused of
attempting to carry out evil intentions,
and felt himself further insulted by
being invited to make his presence
known in some other locality
He hesitated. then came down stairs
slowly, glanced leisurely about the
room. and finally departed. After he
had passed out of sight down the
street the woman called the police
station.
