Deliberative bodies and courts of justice carry worthiest, and best men. The man's merits merit your votes for that distinction. To defeat him would be retrogressive and ungrateful. In Judge W. J.

Jamison is to be seen high racial pride and ot a little dignitary bearing of the refined and scholarly lawyer. Judge Jamison studied the law at Nashville, and was admitted recently to the bar in the Capital City. He held the office of justice of the peace in Topeka for six years. A firm was once known irr this city as Jamison Co. "real estate and loan office." The elegant office that Squire Jamison is now fitting up is at 515 Kansas avenue.

The governor, L. U. Humphrey, introduced me to his private secretary, Mr. D. O.

McCray, after which we three sat down and engaged in a tete-a-tete through a duration of five minutes. I have never felt more at home in any other so distinguished a man's company than I did in L. U. Humphrey's. His excellency is modest and retiring yet easily approached.

Lawn tennis has a powerful incentive for young ladies who walk miner ingly to lengthen and quicken their steps. G.
