THE Willy HUNTsMAN.

oh, now the crafty hunter
Takes powder, gun and dog,
And shoots his ammunition
Into the peaceful hog.
He ambles through the forest,
And snags on branch and bough,
And blazes at partridge.
But Kills humble COW.
He turks behind the rushes
To get the festive duck;
He fingers there till evening.
And mutiers at his luck.
His garments are the fashion
For swell Nimrods to wear
He plugs the guide, misleading
The ellow for bear.
oh, now the crafty hunter,
As comes the frosty eve,
Walks h0meward in the cleaning,
With cunning up his sleeve.
He sinks through darkest alleys
Like one imhued with shame,
And seeks the jolly dealer
Whose signboard speaks of game.

KANSAS ASKS FOR HELP.
Relief Funds Growing and Topeka
BEGINS RehabiIitatinu.

TOPEKA, Kan, June S.-The Kansas
river is rapidly falling. In few more
days the work of rehabilitating North
Topeka will begin. The situation to-
night may be summarized thus:
Total number of known dead, %. The
depth of the river is yet twenty-three
feet, which is seven feet above the
highest point ever known in previous
years. Gov. Bailey has issued proc
lamation calling for help and asking
that contributions be sent to William
Sims, treasurer. The general relief
fund has passed $4,000. The Elks'
fund has passed $4,000. The fund in the
hands of the governor is $4,000.
1t is expected that the city water
supply will be resumed before morn
ing. No one in the flooded district is
in danger. All homeless persons are
well cared for. Over 200 deputies are
guarding property in North Topeka.
The only railroads operating out of
Topeka are the Missouri Pacific to the
South and the Santa Fe to the West.
One hundred and fifty track repair
ers are following the receding water
and putting the Rock Island track in
shape for traffic. 1t Is believed the
road to st. Joseph will be opened Fri
day.
