No cooler waters wash the summer shore
None make such ripping music; flowing Ger
A pebbled bed, thy soothing harmony
Steals TO the air with sweetest melody.
The Daughter of the Stars, the Shenan-

Indians had named thee, when, in days Of
yore
They looked and saw the stars all kissing
thee.
Now Indian hunters, with their bow and spear,
Are gone, and gone, too, are the wolf and bear,

And snug farm houses stand along thy shore
But still the stars come down, when nights

with the commissioners yesterday al
ternoon He wants a voting precinct

demand with a request from all the
bankers in Topeka and a. personal let
ter from Congressman Charles Curtis.
He seemed somewhat surprised that
the commissioners did not give him
what he asked without further delay.
When he found that they did not in
tend to act he made a terrible threat
It was:
If our folks do not get a voting pre-
cinct they will not be loyal to the Re
publican ticket"
That was poser. but Commissioner
Kelsey was equal to the emergency.
IF their loyalty is so easily destroy
