A LOVE SONG.

Z A LOVE SONG.
Lake the sway OF the silver birch in the
breeze OF dawn
Is her dainty way;
Like the gray OF a twilight sky or starlit
lawn
Are her eyes OF gray
Like the clouds In their moving white
Is her breasts softastlr.
And white as the moon and Might
Is the soul OF her.
Like the mur.nur OF woods In spring ere
The leaves are green,
Like the voice OF n bird
That sings by n stream that sings through
the night unseen
So her voice is heard.
And the secret her eyes withhold
In my soul abides,
For white az the moon and cold
Is the heart she hides.

affair.

mornings entertainment and at an early
hour the assembly hall In High school was
taxed to its utmost to hold the large crowd
Of friends relatives and schoolmales. The
programme rendered was most excellent.
The music was especially good while the
different parts enacted by the class elected
much praise and applause from the au-
denee.
The formal commencement exercises held
at the opera house Thursday night were
witnessed by large and appreclative au-
deDce. No box party ever graced the opera
house more attractiyely than did the class
OF 9s. Twenty -four young girls, fresh and
radiant rs the blooming roses, clothed In
beautiful costumes Of snowy white. and
hve manly boys seated upon the stage
which was wreathed with evergreens and
bedeckcd with flowers, was the scene pre-
scented. The programme was thoroughly
good and each performer was praised and
applauded to the full. DR.. Dixon delivered

much to the luster of the exercises This
