Two little flies
Went out for bum.
They flew away,
With a merry hum.
They flew away itno a sugar store,
And they never showed up
At home any more.
Nonsense Rhyme.
Two dead-drunk flies were found
by employees of the Kaw Milling COM
pany in an empty bottle which
smelIed of whisky Saturday. The
bottle was in box car.
"There were two of the insects,
one a big. burly fly with a worldly
wise look on his face. The other
was n demure looking fylet and had
evidently been led astray by bad
happened to step into the car and
found the bottle" said Nat Taylor.
office manager of the mill. He
found the two flies so drunk that
they couldn't walk and told us OF
the depraved. deplorable condition of
the creatures. And they were
sight. We emptied them out of the
bottle and set them on their feet.
However they were so drunk tnat
they couldn't tell us tn Ell st rtad
number nor their name. They trled
to fly but went around in circle
like an airoplane with a broken wing
and fell to the ground. We picked
them up and placed them near an
open window in hopes the ozone of
nrohibftfon Kansas would revive
Them. Pretty soon they began to
wiggle their forward limbs and
stroke their heads with their feet'
I'll bet their heads ached. Perhaps
they had been taking the advantage
of Friday being the last day of grace
before the lid was shut down in To-
peka and had been enjoying fly
time"
H H. Bair, chairman of the enter
tainment committee of the North side
K and L. of S., is in favor of holding
a musical entertainment under the
auspices of the lodge in the casino or
Garfield park, in July. providing that
the park is lighted by that time and
that the majority of the lodge men,
bers also favor the plan
Every month the K. and L. of S. of
the North side give a free entertain
ment to create interest in the lodge.
Mr.. Ba4r some time ago, suggested that
a musical entertainment be given I'M
der the auspices of the lodge in the
hall of the order. However, today he
said:
''Since seeing the story in Saturdays
State Journal regarding the proposition
to light Garfield park, it strikes me
that If we can work up musical pro-
gram it would be a splendid thing to
hold 1t in the casino of the park If 1t
is lighted by that time and the majority
of the lodge members favor the idea
In this way such an entertainment
would draw the attention to Garfield
park and as we'll as create interest in
the lodge. AS you will remember that
is the idea in holding these entertain
ments, to create interest in the lodge.
My plan was to have a musical pro-
gram, including musical numbers by
both lodge members and outsiders,
from all over the city. At first I had
thought of holding it in the lodge hall
over here, but the more think about It,
the better I like the plan of holding 1t
in Garfield park casino providing the
arrangements mentioned can be made
