The Eagle and Army Combination Bearing
Fruit

Nine dollars and fifteen cents was the
sum turned over yesterday afternoon to the
Salvation Army soup fund from the
EAGLES popular subscription fund. The
name of one little boy who contributed l5
cents was misplaced, but the money has
gone into soup ere this. Three other con-
tributors would not give their names.
This is not right, exactly. The under
standing was that the EAGLE was to pub
lish the names of those contributing. In
no other way can a check be kept on the
EAGLE as to whether it is toting fair or
stealing. But rather than that any one
should go hungry the money will be re-
ceived even in the absence of name. The
donation list stands as follows:

WHITE SAILS.
Fascinating to me

Fascinating to me
This blue western sea:
With restless, moaning sound
Ships home and Outward bound,
The light point beating round.
Sails taut with western wind.
Outward bound soou leave behind
Rocks. shoals and warning flags
Homeward bound, whose canvas says,
To the harbor the current drasse
The sun goes down, nights over all,
The chilly breezes scent OF sQuafl;
Dark clouds twixt earth and SKY,
Cleaning lights gliding by:
Around us storm birds cry.
Sadly we turn from lee.
White capped, angry sea.
Suddenly flood of light
Again the Sc. grows blight.
Farewell. glimpse OF sails so bright.

recommend an emasculated edition of

run lighter without such load to
