The city council has vainly en-
deavored to hold a special meet
ing this week. On Monday
night there was a quorum there
but there was a circus in town.
On Tuesday and Wednesday
nights there were two or three
of the faithful present but the
absence of a quorum restrained
them from transacting business.
Meanwhile the business of the
city, although needing prompt
attention must wait. We can
imagine any of the councilmen
having an excuse for missing
one of the meetings or possibly
two but it seems that there can
be no valid excuse for the ab-
sence of a quorum each night
when there are six councilmen
serving. One member of the
council is at present living in
Walla Walla, Wn., too far away
of course to attend all of the
meetings, but it seems that if
any councilman is not able or
does not intend to attend all of
the meetings without a good ex-
cuse he should hand in his resig-
nation and let someone be ap-
pointed who will attend and do
his share toward putting the
city on a substantial footing.
The business affairs of this
city certainly need attention,
there has been too much dilly-
dallying in the past. The new
council has started out along the
right lines and has regained, in
part at least, the confidence of
the taxpayers. Every council
man should make it a point to be
present at all of the meetings,
make known his ideas regarding
the matters which are brought
up and thus help arrive at a
conclusion as to what shall be
done and when such a decision
is reached to do his part in see
ing that it is done.

The recent purchase of four
lots in the center of the city by
the Congregational church is a
good business deal, not only for
the church but for the city as
well. For the church it is the
first and necessary step toward
the erection of a modern church
building Of which there is such
need and for the city it means
another spacious and handsome
building of which the city cannot
get too many. Condor can point
with pride to her intellectual ms
titutions but the church buildings
with the exception of the Catho-
lie church which is also the Acad-
emy, are certainly not a source
of pride. Everyone should join
heartily in the movement which
has been started for the erection
of a modern church building.

The Worst Road in the World.

The road was not only blocked up by
hills and mountain ranges, but it was
strewn with rocks and boulders and
the bridges were most of them in the
last stage of decay. Dave and I laid
all the sins of the road on Kiene's head
and he held his ground and fought
back cheerfully, so the ride to town
was running quarrel.
Like the Fiery Furnace.
But the heat was as bad as the
roads. The hot winds came at 10
o'clock and we were not happy. Never
was there such a fame cf heat since
Nebuchadnezzar heated the furnace
seven times hotter for the three young
men of Israel. And there was no mi
racle to save US from the burning.
Dave, who has for forty years lived
and fought and bIed a loyal Kansan,
went back on his state. Ee cursed the
Wabaunsee county hills and desert
places by his gods and called on the
heavens to witness that Kansas was
the hottest place in the world. Be
tween abusing Kiene and that hot
winds Dave and I were speech1ess
when we reached Topeka
Akers drove his car up the mountain
sides and down precipices and over
rocks and across bridges as serenely as
though he was on a speedway That

Dave went up the creek a little way
with his pole and climbed out on a big
log and perched himself there like
big chicken hawk to fish. Akers and
Kiene worked side by side in a deep
hole below the bar. They fshed until
dark and did not get bite and then
abused me because I demurred about
building them fire in orde- that they
might have light to see their cursed
cOrks.
What did we bring you along for, I
would like to know?" inquired Kiene,
with profane emphasis. I told him I
had thought it was for my company,
but he proceeded to quickly undeceive
me on that point. He expected me to
be the flunkey and camp cook for that
fishing party and fetch and carry like
a setter pup with a party of duck
hunters. Dave and Akers sided in with
him, so I went sullenly to work to
build them a bonfire after telling them
about their ancestors back to the ninth
generation.

Just as I was getting ready to extend
my arms for the embrace of the hand

fierce individual lost his composure
and roared with laughter until I
wondered if he would bring on
joined in the merriment and I finally
learned that I had once perpetrateo
a joke on the bogus officer in Topeka
where he was the guest of friend OF
mine. My chickens had come home
to roost. But I hold that 1t is no dis
grace to be frightened if the occasion
justifies 1t, and this was one OF the
occasions.
Using Candy as Bait.
A denizen of Paxico handed Dave a
"big package" just before we left for
the fishing hole. This man had Sc
rious cast of countenance and kindly
eye. He told Dave, when the latter
asked for bait, that eanay balls made
the best bait in the world. He said
that the fish in Mill Creek dotted on
candy balls. Dave believe-- him and
bought a handful of the sticky stuff
Dave worked out with the candy bait
for half an hour before q growing sus-
picion convinced him that he had been
imposed upon by the native. Dave is
now of the opinion that that kindly
looking stranger is a scoundrel and he
will tell you about the man if you ask
him.
The fishing and all other rights to
Mill Creek at Paxico are controlled by
the Strowig family. Now had enter
tained Otto Strowig once in Topeka,
and he remembered me SO he can
celled his copyright in our favor, and
we drove the car through his cornf1eld
to the edge of Mill Creek overlooking
what appeared to be a noble fishing
hole.
Dave and were elected to seine for
minnows, while Kiene ard Akers rig
ged up the fishing tackle. There was
a gravel bar extending out into the
creek at this point and narrow swirl
of water flowed between the point of
the bar and the other bank and it was
there that Dave and 1 concluded to
cast our nets.
Using the NIinnow Seine.
Dave was a fright Most men, asked
to do a bit of seining, would have
taken off their shoes and socks and
rolled up their trousers. But Dave
took off his shirt and announced that
he was ready for business. Kiene ask
ed him if he expected TO go in head
first to seine. Dave stretched a point
and took off his socks but put his shoes
back on after one step on the gravel
in his bare tootsies. He roared like a
walrus under the punishment of the
sharp rocks.
Well, Dave and I, like Peter and the
apostles, cast our seine in the stream
and we caught about 100 minnows first
crack. Dave was as proud as a pea
cock over the catch and cbeered up for
the first time since he had drank that
yellow ice cream soda in Rossville. We
placed a big crawfish in the minnow
bucket along with the minnows for
good luck, and then I went swimming
while the three fishermen baited their
hooks and prepared to fish.
The crawfish did his duty, for
heard Akers yell out in pain while
Kiene went to the rescue of the cap
sized minnow bucket

watered Us Like Live Stock.

We landed at the fishing hole at
4:30 a. m and began to fish And, be-
neve me, Dave caught a fish A chan
mel cat Weighing two pounds. He swell
led up like a frog and fshed for two
hours thereafter, hopefully, without a
bite Kiene was the star performer
with the hook and line. He caught
nine fish that morning, ranging in size
from four inches to foot long. [
would not add one ounce t the total
of his catch for house and lot, for 1
owe him no love for what he made me
suffer on that trip. Akers caught two
fish and then he caught Dave in the
seat of his trousers for scOa measure.
Dave weighs 21S pounds We got the
hook out without any trouble, but dur
ing the operation Dave appraised his
trousers at Sc and warted cash in
hand.
Those fshermenl those fshermeni
The hours passed away and the sun
burned like a furnace and the gnats
and flies and bugs ate me alive while I
waited for them to have done. Dave
finally gave up the ghost, and then
Kiene, but Akers was married to the
fishing hole for better and for worse.
He was anchored. He rad not had a
bite for two hours but hope in his
heart was a flowing spriTg g fed by the
SHOWS on the mountains of faith.
1 had not had a bite of food for
fourteen hours and was desperate
Akers finally gave in und er the steady
pressure of my abuse and we went
back to the hotel for breakfast Dave
is a vegetarian while Kiene is an eater
of flesh The landlord gave Dave
grapefruit and served Kiene with the
greater part of a steer. Akers was

South Road to Be Avoided.

It seems that the Paxico lfveryman
(may the lie stick in mis- throat and
choke him) had told Akers the night
before that the best road between Pax
leo and Topeka is on the south side of
the Kaw river and that it was also
much the shorter road. We had made
the going trip by the north river road
which was the longer by some five or
six miles, but was a better road be-
cause of the hills on the south side of
the river. But this liveryman made
light of the hills that blocked the south
road and declared that it was a good
highway. And Kiene, who was reared
in the western part of Shawnee county,
and had by his own testimony, taken
many a girl buggy riding clear to
Paxico," said the road was fair except
for the hills. So we took the south
road, and I do not expect to travel
worse one in either this life or the
hereafter. In fact, the only excuse L
have to offer for writing this story is
to warn all travellers against the south
river road between Topeka and Pax
leo. As Dave said, ''It did not look to
