AN OLD WORLD COUNTRY.

London World.
know an old world country
Where travellers never stray,
Whose wooi-paths wind sequestered
For miles and miles away
Whose fields OF Towering grasses
To Swallowed dingles slant.
Where elves sre wont 10 whisper
And nighsingsies TO chant.
There still the ola world homesteads
In calm eoDtentmeut thrive,
Gray haants OF fail and sickle,
OF duyecote aud OF hive.
Invention ne'er invades them
With desecraiing hand.
No steam pillow ever plunges
Amid that placid landi
There old world greens still flourish
with aIe-b bench aud with stocks;
The village danes drop eourteS ies,
The village binds wear smocks;
Sleek D0boin snake, her ribbons,
Dick Shepherd pUes hi crook,
Aud daisy prinklei 5arrows
The BeIfries overlook.
There, In that Old world country,
Beneath its noi~eiess spell,
Amid its sweet omposure,
Who woul1 nor choose To dwell?
Where tronbIes never tre.pass,
Where time unruffi 81 flows,
Ai.c every morn brings giadness
Aud every eve repose.

held last evening in their hall at 1910
Chapline street, and q reorganization
for the ensuing year was effected. The

Commercial Agency is no longer an en-
pertinent, but n permanent institution,
growing with marvellous rapidity, and
destined to revolutionize the retail
credit system OF this country, and save
thousands OF retail merchants from
financial ruin.
Another said: "Tne agency has hard
ly had q fair show. 1t has been given
bills to collect which were outlawed
and really u%ncollectable, and yet thou
sands OF dollars have been collected in
this city during the past year which
could not otherwise have been col.
lccted."
1t was urged that all oughtto stand
firmly by the agency. 1t has lived
longer than any other organization Of
the kind. and to-day it is atfordins a
more perfect protection against dead

MYSTERY TO ALL.
No Official Will Disclose the
School Board TrOu-
b1eS,
But One Admits the Globe
Was Not Far
Wrong.

An effort was made yesterday to
learn more, about the trouble in the
school board over the superintendent
and secretary. Secretary White assert
ed that there was nothing whatever In
the story published in yesterdays
GLOBE. Inspector Auerbaeh was next
seen. He replied that nothing had
taken place which was for the
pub lie. After some questioning
he admitted that the board had had a
meeting which concerned to some ex-
tent the question, but concluded with
the remark that it was all over. and
there would be no changes in the school
officials and the secretaryship. Mayor
Wright was seen. He asserted that he
knew positively nothing whatever of
the matter. and the first he heard of it
was when he read the account III the
GLOBE. Inspector Smith was last seen.
He replied, with a smile: II don't
know anything about it.' 1t is pretty
clear that the GLOBE account was not
far out of the way; that the trouble has
blown over. and the board and all con-
cerned are trying to suppress any talk
aboutit.

DANGEROUS SITUATION.
The Police Station Ablaze-What
Nfipht Hannen

The Police Station Ablaze-What
Might Happen.
At7 O'Clock last evening the central
police station caught fire, and for short
time there was some lively hustlng to
get the prisoners out of their cells, and
eXtinguish the flames. The blaze caught
from the chimney in the entrance to the
police alarm room. 1t was eXtinguished
before any material damage was
done. There is one feature of that
station which should be remedied.
There are many cells there, and often
they have as many as twenty or thirty
prisoners locked in them. Every cell is
locked with distinct key. When the
jailer goes in with a prisoner he is con-
Sequently loaded with heavy bundle
Of keys which are strung on all immense
ring. 1t takes him some moments to
fish out the key for the cell he desires
to place the man in. Suppose the sta
ton should become we'll fired, and it
became necessary to release twenty or
thirty prisoners. Would it be possible
for the jailer to fish out every
distinct key and let all the men
out before the flames reached
them? The police stations of London
and other large cities are so arranged
that the jail0rs may release their pris-
0ners by unlocking and turning single
bolt, thus releasing every prisoner at
one time. The attention of the police
