TSe Fisherman.
He riseth up early in the morning
and disturbeth the whole household.
Mighty are his preparations.
He goeth forth full of hope.
When the day is far spent he return
ed smelling of strong drink, and the
truth is not in him. K. C. Star.
We had one day this year that was
"rarer" than Tennyson's "day in
June" the 29th of February.
Since the sale of Mrs. Guiness' per
sonal property her name is seldom seen
in the public prints. Fame is fleeting
Belleville and Republic county had a
very exciting time last week, judging
from the Freeman. A bank robbery
eight June weddings, a suicide and a
death were a few of the events to break
the monotony.
It used to be a by-word with all
easterners that "it never rains in Kan
sas." After the deluge and conse
quent floods of this year and last we
wonder if this shouldn t be "it ever
rains in Kansas."
Rainfall Breaks the Record.
The State Experiment Station locat
ed at this city is keeping an accurate
record of many things which are of
great interest and importance to the
people of Ellis county. Among the
statistics is the exact amount of rain
fall each month. G. K. Helder, secre
tary, gives the amount of rainfall in
the past two weeks as 5.15 inches,
which breaks all previous records since
the Station has been established. Of
this amount over three inches fell last
Saturday and Sunday.
Essex Club Building About. Ready.
The Kreuger building which was pur
chased a few months agD by the Essex
Club, a club of about thirty-five young
men of Hays, has undergone a trans
formation on the interior. When com
pleted it will be one of handsomest
club houses in the state. The first
floor, which has been beautifully fitted
up for a ball room, has indeed under
gone a metamorphosis. An interior
stairway on the south side of the first
floor leads to the second floor; in the
south west corner of the room is a lit
tie platform for the orchestra; four
large electric fans with chandeliers are
on this floor; the room is very beauti
fully papered in a Holland style and
has a smooth floor of hard maple. The
first floor also contains the ladies' cloak
and toilet room. The second floor has
been partitioned off into three large
rooms and a smaller room, which lat
ter is now being fitted for a toilet and
bath room for the free use of the mem
bers. To the front of the second floor
are the library and parlor which are
joined by a large double door. On the
north-west side just back of the parlor
is the spacious billiard room. The third
story, which will not be fitted up just
at present, will constitute the banquet
hall and kitchen. All the rooms are
fitted with electric lights and will also
be supplied with fans.
It is the aim of the club to remodel
the front of the building and put in
large plate glass windows, but this will
not be done until later.
The Essex Club has announced a
public reception to the people of Hays
on the evening of July 4 and the oc
eassion will undoubtedly be the biggest
social event Hays has had for years.
The formal opening of the building
will be celebrated by the club members
and their ladies July 3. The noted
.Springer's Orchestra of Salina has been
engaged for the twer days.
After running the Beloit Gazette for
twenty-five years, S. H. and G. H.
Dodge have sold it to F. W. Swan of
Emporia, who is now in charge. S. H.
Dodge is one of the best known news
paper men in the state and for many
years was one of the regents of the
State Normal schools.

WITH
'Whose Little Girl?
Oh, whose little girl can this be, I
wonder?
Will nobody tell me before I blunder?
Her hair Is tied with a fluffy bow,
And mother has fixed up her curls "just
so!"
All dressed in her best with her "new
soo's" under
Oh, whose little girl can she be, I wonder?
Has anyone lost such a bit of sweetness?
A wee honey-bun oh, all curls and neat
ness?
Her eyes are the brown of the maple's
gleam
Deep down in the depths of an Autumn
stream!
I'm sure If she's lost there are hearts
asunder
Oh, whose little girl can she b, I won
der?
Her lips are the souls of two pure, red
roses
When dew on the tips of their bloom re
poses;
The ring to her laughter is Clio's art
And comes from a gay little sugar heart;
Her mouth it was made by the angel's
finsrers
Just right well, to give you a kiss that
lingers!
Oh, whose little girl can she be, I won
der.
With eyes all a-dance, and the dimples
under?
What's that? Oh, you say you are
"daddy's dlrl"
And mamma's, too, "tause your hair In
turl!"
Well, well! I can scarcely believe your
story
I thought you a bud from the fields of
glory!
I thought, with your tangle of curls and
dimples.
With light in your eyes like the sun-
kissed whimples
I thought you a bloom from the meadowed
sky,
A bit of the heaven from way up high!
And mamma and papa what blest com
nleteness
To own such a rare little bunch ol
sweetness !
