Wynken, Blynken and Nod.

No less, an authority than Andrew
Lang has pronounced Eugene Fields
poem, "Wynken, Blynken and Nod
one of the best, if not the very best,
child poem in the English language. 1t
is as follows:
Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew
"Where are you going and what do you wish?''
The old man asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in the beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold gave we,"
Said Wynken,
Blynken
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song
AS they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the vino that sped them all night long
RULED the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in that beautiful sea.
SNOW cast your net wherever you WISH
Never afeared are We"
So cried the stars to the fishermen three
Wynken,
Blynken
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in twinkling foam.
Then down from the skies came the wooden
shoe.
Twas all SO pretty a sail it seemed
As If it could not be,
And some folks thought twas a dream they'd
dreamed
OF sailing that beautiful sea,
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken
Blyken
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee ones trundle bed.
30 shut your eyes while mother sings
OF wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
AS you rock in the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen

The Gold Medal Awarded to Miss
Maud Newman.
At the Corcoran Art School the gold
medal was awarded yesterday to Miss
Maud Newman, the drawings which she
submitted being adjudged the best out of
the work Of the seventeen students COM
peting. The decision was something of a
surprise to quite a number, who had not
fully realized the good work which she
had done during the year, but upon a
further examination of her drawings all
were willing to uphold the justice of the
decision. Miss Ford received the bronze
medal for her six drawings, and Miss
Quinn the honorable mention. The judges
commented especially upon The serious
character of the study shown In the draw
iEgs submitted. Though only instructed to
select three students, the jury very kindly

as being particularly meritorlous, Mr.

Blackboard, Miss Bennett and Miss Phillips.
Before the decision was announced Profess
sor Andrews, the director of the school,
maze a report on its work during the year,
and gave brief review of Its history and
growth since the beginning, In which he
drew some very happy comparisons be-
tween the school starting with forty-nine
students and the 135 students now receiv-
ing daily instructions. Mr.. Mcclure then
read the names Of the successful ones, and
gave them the prizes, after which they re-
ceived the warm congratulations of their
friends assembled to hear the verdict. The
exhibition at the school opened today, and

struck him in the left breast with a small
knife. The wounded man fell. burrell run
ming off, Mackel dying in few minutes
In testifyiEg in his own behalf, Burrell
stoutly denied stabbing Msckel, but the
evidence was overwhelmingly against him,
and District Attorney Birney, in address,

parent great indifference with which men

Around mt VIII,
. The case of Superintendent 8. P. Bayly
OF the garbage company, charged with per-
hitting the garbage carts to obstruct South
Capitol street in front of the crematory
last Saturday was tried in the Police Court
today. AS heretofore published in The
Star. the charge was brought by NJ j.
Brown, a member of the South Wash
ington Citizens Association. He told Judge
kimball that the street was obstructed for
ninety minutes, to his knowledge. 1t was
contended that there were twenty-one
carts In the street. Health Officer Wood
ward was called a witness to show the
connection of the defendant with the Of
Tense.
Persons living in the vicinity of the gar
bage crematory turned out in large num-
bers, and were in court to tell CT how the
odor had annoyed them, as we'll as caus-
ing an obstruction.
Manager Bayly stated his side of the
case, and had several persons EMPLOYED in
the crematory to tell of Saturdays trans
action The crematory, he said, is being
eApeS1S,ented with by direction of the Com
missfoners. He says that while on the
streets the company's carts are under his
direction.
People in that part of the CITY," said
Judge Kimball, ARE entitled to protection.
causing an annoyance and nuisance. I'm
satisfied that the street was blockaded and
that MIR. Bayly is guilty. It's bad enough
to have the crematory there, but to have
the additional nuisance Of carts packed in
the street is an outrage"
This case comes within your honor
ruling in the push cart cases." said Mr..
Pugh, only that the offense is much
worse"
Mr.. Bayly protested that his part of the
contract was finished when the carts
reached the crematory. But" he said,
II your honor holds that We can't stand
the carts in the street for a while I'll
see that they are taken away from the
crematory as soon as the drivers see they
can't get in
The judge, referring TO the claim that
there was not help enough at the crematory
to handle all the garbage, said that the
lack of help could not excuse this outrage
on the people. AS this was a test case the
judge said he supposed the District was
not anxious that heavy fine should be
imposed, and fined the defendant five dol
lars
