 Lanyard was inclined to .hink he had never seen, this side of foot lights, a gown quite so daring as that which revealed the admirably turned person of the lady who named herself Liane.
 At the sound of her name Athe- nais turned with a perfectly indi- cated start of surprise which she promptly translated into little, joy ful cry.

WILL ASSESS EN-
Unique Scheme Worked Out for
Automobile Day.
Store Frontage Is Basis for the
Assessment.

A unique system of assessing Kan
sas avenue merchants, and the mer-
chants on streets adjoining the ave-
nue., their share of the expenses for
Automobile day, October %, has been
worked out by the committee in
charge of the event for the Merchants
association.
The store frontage is to be the basis
of the assessments. A sliding scale
of assessm ents has been worked out,
and the share of the merchant partici-
by the amount of space which his
place of business. occupies.
First Floor Costs Most.
First floor frontage will cost twice
as much per foot as the frontage on
age, one-third as much as the first
floor space.
This is an equitable arrangement
c. V. johnson, chairman of the COM
mittee, said in discussing it. THE
merchant with the biggest store front
is going to profit most by the special
sales which will be held that day and
in direct proportion to the expanse of
his store front. The professional men
on the second and third floor will have
mighty small assessments-in proper
ton to the benefit they receive from
it. AlAo it saves argument, by estab-
fishing a definite standard to work
on"
Committees of members of the Mer-
chants association have been sent out
businesses on Kansas avenue and the
adjoining streets, and will fix the pro
rata share of the expenses of the day,

LOOKS LIKE DR.. SHELDON
Ed Clemans, Democratic Candi-
date for Secretary of State, Mis-
taken for Noted Author on
Streets of Topeka.

Ed CIemans, Democratic candidate
for secretary of state, is having a
peculiar experience as he travels over
the state meeting the voters. When
he attended the party council in To-
peka. he was addressed a half dozen
times on Kansas avenue with the salu-
tation, "Good mornings Doctor? How
do you do, Doctor? Fine day, Doc
tor?" and SO on.
Finally when a Topekan said. Good
morning, Doctor sheldon it dawned
on Ed C1emans that he was mistaken
for DR.. c. NJ. Sheldon, the famous To-
peka minister. Friends of both men
say the resemblance is very noticeable.
There is this difference, however,
Doctor Sheldon is Congregationalist
and Ed Clemans is Methodist.
Il only wish that I had to my credit
all the good that Doctor Sheldon has
done in the world" was Mr.. Clemana'
modest reference to the matter.
