When the study in the backyard of
the residence at 1915 West fifteenth
street. where DR.. Charles NJ. Sheldon.
preacher ard author has lived for the
moved, there was very little prepara-
ton made in the interior.
The books remained on the shelves,
the pictures on the walls, and a photo
of Walt Mason. in an easel frame, was
left standing on the edge of a book
shelf
Frank Cope. Fred Whitwan and Eli
Slater. employed by w. G. Tandy,
pulled the study out of the yard at
1915 West Fifteenth street and across
the lawn without damaging the grass.
It was windlassed up Fifteenth
street to Boswell avenue. thru Bos-
well avenue to Euclid avenue. and
into the alley, which was already
plOwed up for paving. From the alley
to the foundations already prepared.
the study was moved. and the moving
necessitated the removal of a fence
and the describing of figure Fights
thru the yard
Sherman Hunter, bricklayer. and
his helper, Jim Henry, rebuilt the
chimney which had been taken down
brick for brick.
And when the fireplace had been re-
built and the little study where Dr.
Sheldon has created many famous
books was settled on its new founda-
ton. not even the picture of Walt
Mason had been disturbed.

The old stone building at the south
east corner of the Melan bridge-a
building that will be remembered by
the old-timers of Topeka as a place
where liquor once ran freely-win
soon be gone and only the excavation
that was dug half a century ago will
be left to remind the oldest inhabi-
tants'' of those days.
The building which has stood on
the banks of the Kaw for the last
fifty years was bought twenty years
ago by the Charles Wolff Packing
company. It was intended at that
time that the ground on which the
building was standing should be used
as site for an addition to the pack
ing plant Since that time, tho. the
packing company has acquired land
that is better suited to its needs.
The old saloon was sold recently to
A. Shub. of North Topeka, and the
land offered for sale. So far the land
has not been sold. Mr.. Stub is NOV
ing the material from the old building
into North Topeka where he is erect
ing a new building near the North To-
peka fire station. The stones that
formed the walls of the building and
the white pine wood that was used for
the inner framework is much better
than any that could be bought today,
according to Mr.. Shub.

said the youth.
What? What do you mean?" de-
uanded Mrs. Powell.

"a dog killed him." blurted the boy.
You see, me and some other kids was
coming along here with our dog look
ing for cats. We run your cat up in
a tree across the street. I took a
club and knocked him out and the
dog grabbed him by the neck and
choked him. I've come to pay you
whatever damage there was and ask
you to forgive me-
"Oh, I'm 50 sorry you told me that
cried Mrs. Powell. the old grief for
Bebe bursting forth at this new ex-
PLANTATION of the more cruel tragedy.
I'VE thought Gebe was killed sudden
ly by a car. How could any boy do
such a thing as you have done?"
I'm sorry, lady" mumbIed the
youth. What do owe your
You owe me nothing. Money will
not bring back Bebe."
And will you forgive me for what
I've done?''
Eyes. I'll forgive you, but please
don't ever come here again"
And so the murderer" perhaps
feeling the better for his confession,
walked away, but never to atone for
the crime he had committed.

TO GIVE PARK TO Topeka
Frank NJ. and Ella t. Washburn
Donate Tract to City.

Frank NJ. Washburn and Ella T.
Washburn, former owners of the
Washburn Park tract. which is being
plated for residence purposes, have
assigned a portion of the tract,
amounting to about twelve acres, to
the city, according to Robert D. Nc
Giffert, commissioner of parks and
public property.
The decision on accepting the prop
erty will he made at meeting of the
city commission Tuesday morning
There are practically no restrictions
or provisions concerning the use Of the
property by the city, except that it be
used for park and public purposes.
The tract extends along Ward creek,
which traverses the western portion
of the addition from Munson street to
Tenth avenue.
Commissioner McGiffert hopes that
the presentation of this tract to the
city for park purposes will set a new
precedent among Topeka real estate
dealers. This is the first time in the
history OF Topeka that a portion of a
new addition was reserved and pre-
scented to the city for park purposes.
In many cities this is required by law.

The attempt to reduce the personnel
of Uncle Sans navy to $1,000 men
was defeated when the lower house
of Congress Saturday over-rode the
committees recommendations. The
bill as amended and passed places
the number of men at $4,000 and will
permit the United States to maintain
a navy on the 5-5-3 pact as enacted
by the recent disarmament conference.
If the reduction as recommended by
the house committee had passed Uncle
Sam, instead of maintaining his place
with Britain, would have been reduced
below the navy level of Japan. Con-
gresspan Harold Knutson, of the
Sixth District, was one of the two
Minnesota Congressman voting in
favor of the large navy and for this
he is to be congratulated.

Gratitude is apparently lacking in
the makeup Of Ex-President Wilson.
At various times he has not hesitated
to sacrifice close friends if their will
ran counterpart of his own. The lat
est to feel the wrath of the Ex-
President is faithful "Joe Tumulty,"
secretary to the President during the
eight turbulent years of his admin
istration. In what many, supposed
to be an inspired speech by Mr.. Tum-
ulty before gathering of democrats
in New York City recently his state
ments were construed to man that
Mr.. Wilson was willing to back Mr..
Cox for the presidency in the next
campaign This of course would
put MacAdoo, the Wilson son-in- law
out of the running, with the re-
suit that the ex-president did not
hesitate to sacrifice the friendship of
a faithful associate and employee.
The stability of the bonds of gov
ernment is splendid indication of
the prosperity Of that government.
Uncle Sans various issues of Lib
erty bonds, were worth about 85
cents on the dollar a year ago.
All of them have practically reach
ed par and one or two of them
are selling above par. Every bond
issue ever made by this government
have gone over par long before ma
turity and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the billions of dollars is
sued as the result of the World War
will pass par within the next 80
Days.
In spite of the calamity howlers
the country is not going to the dogs
and the trend although slow, is back
to normal conditions.
