You've been so good and kind to me
For 10 these many year,

And lent your prayers ana tears
Dear mother, God hath heard your prayers
And blessed me with His grae,
Increased my wealth that you might share
\ happy dwelling place
For over forty years you've been
NV pilot and my gul'it,
But oft | strayed from thee, and then
GIT your love was by. my side.
And when misfortune's winter came
With trouble, pain and grief,
You trusted God, most holy name
And prayed for my relief.
When Providence saw fit to bring
Me out OF poveIty'> grasp,
| heard your voice sweetly saying,
s'Tru,t and hope-forget the past"
Now fortune smiles above US,
And can easy live;
And thank the God who loves us
That | eau freely give.
Today my blessed mother,
I give TO you home:
With two lots il the city OF Wichita,
With titles clear, its all your own.
In your old age and declining years
| hope you'll live at ca~e;
God bless this Christmas git,
Which you can dispose of DIS you please
God grant this heart lie ne'r defiled
BY anything enticlng,
Is the faithful prayer OF your humble child,

The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1886-02-23

For some time past the railroad
officials at this point have been made
the victims of coal thieves. 1t has
become a common practice with some
people here to get their supply of coal
by fIching it from the cars standing
in the yards. The nuisance has be-
come so great of late that the CON-
panies have been compelled to place
men on the watch. This has been
Officer Mason's duty, and Friday
night one of his men succeeded in
catching one of the thieves as he was
helping himself to coal. The fellow
gave the name of August Kerber,
when he was taken before the Justice
yesterday morning, and it being shown
that he was guilty, was fined 81 and
costs, making in all 1926. He paid
and was allowed to go.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
A Budget Of Information Which
Will Interest Parents as
Well as Pupils. -a.-

Exercises commemorative of Wash
ington's birthday were held on Friday
in some of the schools, but in other.
they were deferred until Tuesday
Monday being holiday under the
school law. .r- .
y Longfellow's birthday will also b.
observed with appropriate literary ex
ercises.
The pupils are looking forward tc
the second quarterly examinat on,
which is to be written. Three written
tie IS are held in the year, the ques.
tons being submitted by the super.
intendent. A record of every pupils
scholarship is preserved in register
prepared by Superintendent Richard
son, so that reference may be male at
any time to the pupils past standing.
There is no record preserved of the
past history of the sch ola. At the
final examination in My, the classes
will all pass up one grade for examin-
alton by the teachers of the grade to
which they hope 10 be promoted.
A circular letter from the Or, sident
of the State Teachers association,
Prof. Anthony Haynes, of Boonville,
solicits an exhibit of school work of
every description at the June meeting
at Sweet Springs.
A meeting of the city teachers will
soon be called by Superintendent
Richardson, to decide as TO the nature
and extent of our exhibit. Last year
a commendable exhibit was made,
but it was not confined to work done
in school.
Hardness has been very much re-
1uced the past few weeks, some rooms
not recording single case slice Feb
-uary 1st.
At Prospect school there is a bull
etIn board in the hall, on which is
marked the number of tardies in each
'oom from the beginning of the month.
This has excited a healthy competi-
ion among the different rooms.
More than one hundred pupils will
lpply for admission to the high school
It the close of the year. This will
crowd the rooms of Broadway still
more, and it now has more pupils
han can be comfortably seated.
The subjects for prize essays for
February, which are taken from the
High School Chimes, are For the
Ugh school, "Great inventors and
heir inventions ;" for the grammar
department., Farms J" for the. prim-
nv department, "Kind words" Much
interest seems to be awakened in
original composition.
