Written for THE MORNING CALL.
~ oMETHING'S gone from out our household
49, Leaving all so strangely stilledi
n VNo ret chOing sound of laughter
That through heart and garde rs trilled;
Gone a life that scarce beginning
Left Its traces everywhere
Like the perfume OF sweet flowers
That scent the soft May air.
Here and there are little tokens
That by willing hands were made,
Teemlng like darts of sunshine
Through the leafy forest shade:
And although the rays are golden
That fash in the bowery vale,
Still tits but ieetng glimmer
For the shadows will prevail.
The guitar that hangs so silent,
Almost seems to miss the sweep
or the fingers Ger its keyboard
With their dancing fairy leap
The piano standing open,
Speaks in language of its own
(More expressive than in wording)
Grief for loving touches flown.
There's picture on the easel
That should show nest OF young.
With the old bird watching near it
While her sweetest songs are sung,
But alas the nest is empty,
Time with stern. Implying sway
Wiled the picture be unfinished
And our home be sad to-day.

Trustee Merrill.
The call upon which the board con
vened was read by the secretary.
On motion Of Trustee Fisher the reg
ular order OF business was dispensed
with.
Trustee Mcbride called fer the read
ing of the veto message.
The message simply stated that the
ground upon which the acton or the
writer was based was the nexpeuence
of Mr.. Chalmers IN the wo-k he would
De required 10 do.
Trustee Locher offered ne following
resolution:
Resolved, That the acton Of tins
board IN electing Prof. VIM ". Chalm-
ers as superintendent of SCHOOLS be sus-
tanned, notwithstanding the veto of the
president, and that this ,esoluuon be

Mayor Uhl said that he die not doubt
that those who had voted 10 iustain the
board, had done so with feeling of
some misgivlng. 1t is admitted on all
hands that Mr.. Chalmers is without the
experience commonly possessed by
those who come TO SO high s. position.
Ii IS admitted that, in view of the

larger responsibility will rest upon the
secretary, Miss Mcintyre, While Mr.
Chalmers Is famllIarzlng himself with
the routine of his dutl@. With
this increase OF the assistants duties,
would Justly come an increase OF sal

should be taken from that of he super.
lntendent.
Trustee Blair moved that the salary
be fixed at S2250.
Mayor Uhl moved TO amend by fixing
the salary at $1,000.
The president called Mayor Uhl TO
the char, and supported Mayor Uhl's
amendment in an argument based upon
purely business premises.
A few other speeches were made in
q temperate and good natured vein.
When the question was called for, the
mayor stated that instead of following
the usual parliamentary course. the
question involving the highest amount
would be put first, according to the
rules. On the question of fixing the
salary at $3.50 the resolution was
carried by the following vote:
Yeas-Trustees BLAIR, Davidson, Eel
