Kansas Notes Patter Dense With Local Quips and Names
A collage of brief notes from Kansas towns includes M C Avis at Coffeyville planning a 12000 dollar project, Wapstaff of Lindsborg seeking a canal service post, and Antor Byschénie eyeing summer ice cream vending. Peabody cynicism, Eldorado racehorse luck, and Pat Crowe questions in Marysville mingle with stove-pipe humor and legal bar admissions. A Kansas City alderman, a Topeka melodrama, and Morrill’s Boston law office trend through the chatter. A wide range of small curiosities, local careers, and regional spice.
