a CLEAN dsAsual

Along the noisy city ways,
And in this rafting city car.
On this the drearies, OF days,
Perplex.d with business fret ~ jar,
When suddenly young sweet face
Looked on my petuiance amp pain
And lent il something Of its grace
And charmed IL into peacJ again.
The day was just as bleak without,
My neighbors just as ooid within,
And truth was just as full of doubt,
The world was just iull OF sin.
But in the light OF that young smile
The world grew pure, the heart grew warm,
And sunshine CLEANED little while
Across the darAness OF the storm.
/ did not care TO seek her name.
/ only said: "God bless thy life.
Thy sweet, young grace be still the same.
Or happy maid or happy wife.

The County Seat.

From the Visitor:
The following taken from South Ha-
ven Sentinel is certainly poetry if not the
truth, and full of confidence now even
though defeat may come in the end. But
Aunt Louise" is not the only pebble on
the beach that is so confident, but it is
evident that "auntie" knows where the
corn juice flows SO plentiful. There are
hundreds upon hundreds of farmers who
are quite confident that it will take some
thing besides summer girls to induce
them to travel long distances to reach
South Haven as a would be county seat
They own their teams and vehicles and
no one need tell them the distance to a
one-sided county seat as South Haven
would certainly be. But here is the
poetry:
We're going TO have the county seat
Moved right into our town,
And Paw Paw might well look sweet
As to wear that ugly frown.
Ard when we get the county seat
Also the county Jail,
The Van Burenites will flock TO town
BY wagon and by rail.
From Jerk Tail, Scots and Jericho;
BY wagon loads they'd come,
To rubber at the summer girls
A basking in the sun.
From Berlamont and Bloomingdale
They'll come on morning cars,
To listen 10 some spicy trial
Or TO air their family jars
From Grand Junction and from Breedsville,
From Lacota and from Lawton,
They'll drop in upon and then
From Bangor and from Gobleville
From Covert and from Toquin
Will come some of our future jury men.
From that far famed land of Eden,
Where the yellow dent corn grows,
They will journey TO South Haven
Where the wine and corn-juice flows.
From Decatur and from Lawrence
From Mattawan and Arlington,
From Paw Paw and from Hartford
They'll trek into our town.
We will wine them we will dine them,
In a way that can't be beat
You may bet well loosen our "tin"
When we get the county seat

Eighty Policemen who Had Soft Snaps sent
Back to Precinct Duty.

HHSS
Chief Devery gave out yesterday the names
OF the policemen who were transferred recently
from the court squads TO precinct duty by or
der OF the Police Board. The reason WHY the
list was not made public at the time the change
was decided upon was TO enable the mon who
we're transferred TO show their political
strength. 1t Is known that the list Of trans
fers as made public yesterday afternoon con-
tains many names not on the original trans
fer list. The revision was made after the dis-
srict leaders had been consulted by the various
men who were assigned to active duty. Those
whose pull was strong enough succeeded In
getting nut back In the court squads, which
are looked UPON rs a sol, snap on account OF the
easy hours and frequent holidays.
The transfers yesterday reduced the court
squads OF the boroughs OF Manhattan, Bronx
and Brooklyn by about one-third, Before
