There is a cool spot in Topeka these
| days and a good many people KIN w
( about it but only a few have enjoy ed
it, If there is a cool spot, why do
only the drawer spirits dare to claim
the pleasure it offers? Convention
it is simply a case of convention. But
bound we are and Topeka people will
continue to hasten by this spot of re-
freshing beauty, hopping their brows
and saying, "Whew. amt it hot?"
while the brave spirits rejoice in, the
! temperature of the day. 1t is located,
this spot of JOY. between Topeka and
Harrison on Twelfth street. 1t offers
| an ideal way to spend the afternoon.
! But one is almost safe in saying that
few If any of the socially elect will
seek this GOODNESS tho the thermom-
eter mount to 100 degrees and the
! winds cease to blow. What is it ?
And who enjoys it There are some
/ very wise little children who play in
the basin of the fountain in the little
/ park in Twelfth street and catch the
! cascade of water as it falls off the
/ upper shelf or nestle in against he
standard out of the drip. but coy
and cool, who can tell you.
