Three bad little chndren-twO boys

Then came new complaints. These
complaints multiplied and today they
were consigned to the industrial school
for an indefinite vacation.
Young Reynolds wept bitterly when
he was sentenced, but Herschie Nc

A FALLEN IDOL.

bergs and was once nearly frightened 10
death by one he encountered in midocean.
This startling admission moved Topeka
poet so deeply that he gave to the world
the product of his emotion in the follow
ing poem:
A happy Hibernian romped into Kansas,
And dined with the highbrows, encamp-
ed on the Kaw-
And now they proclaim him the KING oi
The greatest myth-monger the world
ever saw.
He dreams, night and morning, from
cleaning to cleaning
OF things that might happen, if only
they would.
Then frames up his rainbows in rhetoric's
As facts that can never be misunder-
stood.
He sits in the state house, behind the
drop-curtain.
And tells the executive what he must do
To save his own bacon, and win enough
henchmen
To carry his party and policies through
He writes proolamations to go to the
And pardons to go to his pals in the peil
And screeds and suggestions to all sorts
of men.
He writes cosmic essays and tales OF
marauderS
Who sneaked into Kansas. in search of
a fight,
And tells how wild savages stole Rosie
And carried her off to their wigwams
at night
He writes those great poems that thrill
the whole nation,
A. 1nNI Io- low -3 TNA1,, =
And hymns on Gas Dodson Cigar-stubbs
and Yawson,
The child in the well, and the ark on
He talks about farming, horse-racing and
And tells of the narwhals he caught on
Pixies Peak,
And then for thriller. a hypnotic MUIR
Is pulled off in fancy on Tit-Willow
Greek.
He knows what the Sphinx of old Egypt
is thinking,
And how the great pyramids fell from
And how Cleopatra caught Antony nap
And ciapped Cupid's goggles on both
of his eyes.
He writes all the fustian that Laura Jean
Libby,
And Lillian Russell hdnd down from
their throne
And frames up those heart-thriIling
poems of passion
That poor Ella Wheeler hands out as
her own.
He caught on his fingers that wireless
message
That Deik handed down through the
big state house dome.
Then sent it forth labelled "A Song OF
Salvation
The Pope had it published next morning
in Rome.
But. Leahy is done: there's a new revela-
ton
That shows the weak spot in his make
up at last,
He scares at an iceberg; that wipes out
our hero,
And makes all our friendship thing
of the past.
Goodbye brother Leahy! We're all of US
sorry
To find that you, too, are a timorous
man.
Wen cut your acquaintance and seek
hero,
And try to forget you we

A Correction.

To the Editor of the State Journal:

union electrical committee was CEN
sured by Judge Arnold and it was
claimed they would meet serious
! trouble if they attempted again to in
terfere with non-union electrical work.
ers was a mistake.
Judge Arnold didn't say a word to the
men who had the men arrested for
working without license. H. B.
Howard didn't have a licensed electrf-
clan in his employ at that time and
wasn't on the job himself, contrary to
his statement in court. He was seen
on the street by three men at least,
during the time he claimed to have
been on the job. Judge Arnold didn't
have any heart to heart talk with the
committee as there was no committee
at all and Judge Arnold didn't say
word to me al all or any of the other
electricians after or before the trial.
In regard to the trial, I had his men
arrested because l knew that they had
violated the law and this was a chance
to prove it. ]. r. WOODRUFF
