commissioner Shannon,
who has been in Washington for
over half year, came down last
week from Lama, stopped
couple weeks with Roy Regneir,
and the first of the week, accom-
panied with Roy, went down to
his ranch on the Cimarron. The
many friends of Mr.. Shannon
were glad to see him back.
All that saved Gurn Sunday

stations and jacks and doing
other kinds of veterinary work,
he will be at Springfield June

j. f. Bellew has had all kinds
of hard-luck experiences in the
last few weeks. In the first
place he was arrested for alleged
land frauds, but at topeka gave
bonds for his appearance in
court. Then on his way home,
in sight Of EllShart. the train was
derailed and turned turtle. Then
a short time after he reached
home, lightning killed team

ing corn. If one is to have just
Il certain amount OF trouble, he
might as vel! have it all in

The editor knows what a feel-
ing of qualification it is to see
ones own poetry in print over
ones own name. The ambition
is laudable,-but we want to say
this to the poets of Baca: Re
write the poem about forty times
before sending it in for publica.
tiop, and improve tia little every
time you re-write it. That will
save the editor trouble, and the
poem will stand better chance
of being published. Make
it not more than one-fourth of a
column, and sign it, OF it will
stand poor chance of seeing
the light of day. We have now
about two dozen poems on hand,
so it may be weeks and weeks
before yours is reached.
