In city once they say
Lived a boOdler painted gray,
One who voted for himself
To obtain official pelf,
One who never got the blues
Juggling rum for danes and rOueS,
One who boodling day and night
Reached for ev'ything in sight,
And who with unfathomed gall
Worked the rabbits foot on all.
Faded lilies found the way
To his honk-tonk ev'ry day,
And place to persevere
While surrounding others beer.
LoaferS, cOonS aud critters loose
Gathered there for serpent juice,
Evil stuff insured to kill
Fourteen hundred rods up hill,
Still the peeler closed an eye,
ut was there he got his rye)
While the people good and bad
Wondered il this city dad
Could, conducting such place,
Look old Satan in the face.
Many said he could, because
They were partners. full of flaws,
That "old Nick" admired his pard,
For he was his inner guard,
And the one that ventur far
Perished ere he hit the bar.
But one morn at early five
He transferred his little dive,
And soon coveted chair
That another filled as may'r,
And to grab the little plum
Voted forlhimself, by gum.
Ere he run the thing a week
Brass disfigured so his cheek
That he acted only when
Mister Doodle touched the pen;
Like a. sprinkler he was out
For the dust that blew about,
And his hand got never sore
Signing things" for hood galore,
For more boodle," friend of mine,
Was his favorite countersign.
Soon a man we'll label FAINT
Had for sale a certain plant
That would make the city whiz,
Which it neet ed in its biz,
But unoiled ii would not take,
For "Old Cork" was on the make.
But he had friend" of rank
Who within certain bank
Uttered words about like these,
Without trembling at the knees:
"lf you will before me flash
just two thousand dollars cash,
Him and me will take the plant,
Yes, we will, dear mister FAINT"
Fen the clock upon the wall
Seemed to stop to hear it all,
Seemed to turn an hour a-back
List'ning to the boodler Jack,
But his eye-lids quickly fell
When enjoined to go to Hell ena.

A CHILLY EVENING.

1t was chilly last evening. The man
VINO beats the drum in the Salvation Army
wore ear muffs.
People skurried along the streets with
large portion of their forearm5 in their
pockets and their heads drawn under their
coat collars. turtle fashion.
The show windows of tennis goods and
lawn dress patterns looked out on the
pasSers by with aggrayating frigidity,
while the people clingipg to the seats of
the summer street cars had desperate,
frozen glare in their eyes like that of the
Arctic explorers when they had given up
all hope of a return to civilization and
warmth.
Occasionally man with light spring
suit would hurry by in hopeless
sort of way. The ice cream sa-
looms had a vacant, uninviting air
that set peoples teeth to chatter
ing as they passed The strawberries and
cherries, the first on the market. shrank
back into their open boxes, as for an apol-
ogy for their boldness, and the hot tOnala
mans voice, stimulated by increasing
trade. rang sharper and clearer on the
chilly air.
An occasional group discussed the pros
pect of frost, but IA good many clouds
were flying and the wind blew a stiff gale.
A few shivering boys were out, determ-
ined to wait the night through and see the
circus unloadin the morning. They agreed
generally that the polar bear would be in
good spirits, and that the monkeys would
have to be provided with artificial furs.
1t was cold night for the month of
flowers and love-May. But nothing is
strange in Kansas.

they came to the Whitewater they SAW
that the quiet little stream had become a
torrent, but AS the ford is usually easily
made they drove in to ford the river The
water proved too deep and the current too
swift. Both brother and sister persisted
in the raging waters, and when their dead
bodies were found later by a fisherman
they were stiff and cold in death. A fish
erman was the first TO see horse drippi d g
wet along the banks OF the stream. 1t had
its harness still on. He caught the horse
and then went in search of the buggy and
the inmates and found them later, as
stated. Mr.. Robinson swan his drove of

They demanded test OF his powers and
