If the above puerile effort is a true indicator of the maturity of the Star paragraphers, it is indeed quite fortunate that their publication is made up early, so that the dear fellows may get home before twilight settles down upon the wicked town.
Last Saturday's Atchison Globe contained the following concerning Topeka society and, in fact, society in general:
"If Topeka is like Atchison and other surrounding towns, while society was petting Charley Huff, an ex-penitentiary convict, other young men in town who are faithful and steady workmen with no time for frivolity, were being snubbed by the girls, and generally ostracised. Charley Huff had nothing but a pair of patent leather shoes, fine clothes, and a glib tongue to recommend him, still he entered the best society in Topeka and monopolized the attention of one of the prettiest girls. Other young men who have lived in Topeka all their lives, and whose devotion to work and a desire to amount to something are evident, are not in great demand, and if they broke into society, would be treated coldly. Girls, in their friendships with men, are terribly blind to their future interests.'
Perhaps the above is overdrawn but every young man who works, has doubtless been made to feel its truth more than once.
