lection to Topeka profiting in any
such way at the expense of the state.

On the Spur
of the Moment
The Procession.
BY ROY K. MOCLTON.

The Procession.
She was a dream, vision sweet;
think her name was Marguerite
She stayed with us almost three days
Before she found fault with our ways.
She left, her wrath just boiling Ger,
When asked to sweep the Kitchen
floor.
The next one, Bridget. was her name,
An old hand at the housema1d game.
For two days all was quite serene,
Then came a most distressing scene.
She left us with an angry shrug
When asked to shake the parIor rug.
Then Pansy came, then fair Lucille,
Then Amy, Daisy and Camille
Our want ad now runs every day,
1t really is the same old way.
Well try them all out while they last
And stick till the parade has passed.
