Mrs. Lease said the election of Cleve-

people did not think so. A great many
conservative Republicans admit that the
country has nothing to fear from the
election of Cleveland. They feel conf
dent that he will be in close touch with
the business interests of the country

rear of the grounds attached to this
home of the late Gov. Giimer is hugs
bowlder standing alone on the edge o.

hundred horses could not pull it from

THE CROW HILL SCHOOL.

1t seems like dream to me now how Jim and
used to go
Flowing our way to the district school through
the deeply drifted snow;
Our homespun suits were OF black sleeps wool,
pantaloons, jackets and all;
Our shoes were made Of the 'beef critters
hide father killed in the fall;
The boys took turns In the winter at cutting the
stovewood to fit;
Twas an exercise we detested, but we made
the best Of it.
The schoolhouse was old and shabby from the
peltings Of many q storm,
The glass was out Of the windows, 1t was awful
hard to keep warm;
The schoolmaster's desk was whitfield by
knives OF boys by the score,
Initials, peepholes and ink spots we're thick on
,ssa the sagging old door;
/ cut the name of my sweetheart In the lid Of
my desk one day,
And the schoolmaster warmed my jacket in
the old original way.
Whenever we disobeyed orders the ferrule came
And it left sting behind 1t that lasted for
many day:
The boys had fire list posted, the girls took
turns with the broom.
And swept and garnished with evergreen
boughs the walls of the dingy room
Every morning we read In concert and lifted
our voices high,
All firmly resolved to do our best to make .
noise or die.
When think upon those happy days IT is like
misty dream
might have in sleepy meadows bordering on o
lazy stream
hear the tapping waters over the smooth-worn
pebbles glide
Again am careless boy. and Jim is sitting by
my side
Hnshi we are in the schoolroomi Hear the
tapping OF the masters rule;
lie Is saying: "Orderl / want order here In
Crow Hill school"
