THE LITTLE PAPooSE.

CBy l. Edgar Jones in The Gentlewoman.l
With hair as black as night
With coppery skin and Indian grin
A quaint and queer young sprite;
His bead-black eyes doth dance with glee
As he swings like gourd from a branch
ing tree.
Where, punched in bark, but with small
paws free
He hangs contented quite.
Suspended animation there
Swings to and fro all day.
The little papoose has little use
For foot-free romp and play;
But he clothes himself in a copper smile
His small form free of clothes and guile
And grits his teeth on an Indian file''
In his aboriginal way.
The little papoose in a year or two
VIII shed his rude bark she'll
Will race around with the nativetcrew
Who with the fierce war yell
Split listening ears and rend the air.
A scalp-lock huffing his hair,
His eyes Will acquire a bead-like stare
AS the eyes of Indians do.
The little papoose has scanty use
For the ways of the Paleface bows.
His style is red, and his tawny head
Has its own ideas of joys;
He would not dwell in a house shut In
Mid the city's sepseless whirl and din
He hunts for the things of fur or fin
And a wigwam holds his toys
Yet the little papoose is not a goose.
But a thing for wear and tear and use
A handy infant, spry and spruce
With veteran patient poise.

The wedding was elegant in every de-

hue. were used in the decorating of the
spacious house. All the mantels were
arranged in tulips and hyacinths, with

A canopy of yellow tulips and smilaX

PEOPLE OF THE TRANSvAAL

papers to the Beers. What does the
word mean, of what race are they, and
where did they live before going to the
Transvaal?" asks a correspondent.
The name is taken from the German
word Bauer, meaning peasant. The
Beers ar, of Dutch descent. They were
farmers N South Africa long before
the English took possession of Cape
Colony. In 1896, after British annex
alton, they left their old home and emf

founded the Orange Free State They

Arkansas will be left without pro-
lection from fire except such as eter
nal vigilance affords. If property is
destroyed it is a clear loss to the owner.
The state has forbidden fire insurance
companies to dc business there if they
belong to any re ting oIganiza icr, eitheI
in Arkansas or elsewhere. Since such
organizations are a recognized and
necessary feature of the insurance bust
ness almost everywhere, the companies
are withdrawing from Arkansas, which
they can better afford to do than sacri-
flee their organizations, since the bust
ness there is only about one-half of
per cent of their whole business. Such
are the inevitable consequences Of freak
legislation.

NoN-PARTiSAN HARMONY.


partisanism isn't so popular now
as 1t was once. A contemporary who
believed in non partisan municipal.
school and judicial elections a year ago
sneers at the very idea of such things
today.
AT the city council meeting the other
evening Councilman Buckle tried to
take the supervision of the construc-
ton Of waterworks improvements out
of the watermaster's hands entirely.
His proposition was ridiculed by the
Democrats, even by those elected on
the non-partisan ticket, and the only
support it received was the solid vote
OF the three Republican members.
When this failed another Republican,
Mr.. Robertson, introduced resolu-
ton of censure against the water
master After a lengthy preamble its
conclusion was as follows:
Therefore be it resolved That we
the city council of Salt Lake, do here
by censure the watermaster for neg
lect of duty"
Callister opposed the resolution Wig
orously. 1T is the hair of the same
dog killed a week ago in the council"
was his opening remark. This is an
other phase of the old fight between
the city engineer and the watermaster
and doubt the accuracy of the reports
about the filthy condition of Parley's
creek. If these conditions do exist it
is not the fault of the watermaster, but
of the waterworks committee, to whose
attention this matter was directed by
the council weeks ago.
Where is this non-partisan unity and
harmony that we used to hear so much
about?

Cuba has a compulsory school law re-
quiring children between the ages of
six and nine to attend, but it has not
been strictly enforced for some years
on account of the poverty of the peo-
pie, and the consequent lack of clothing,
shoes, and even of food for the children.
A Spanish regulation made obligatory
the wearing of shoes to SHOOT, and this,
as much az anything else, decreased at
tendance. The law was not enforced,
and it is the fact that some children
did attend who were destitute of foot
covering, while others were provided
with such crude substitutes az became
possible for them. The lettering agent
appears to have been les5 in the law
than in the matter Of personal pride.
Shoewearing became a matter of social
caste, and pride and caste are an inner
ent trait of the race. Notwithssand-
ing the law, school attendance, in its
operation, is purely voluntary, even as
to hours of appearance. Children seem
to come and go pretty much as they
please

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.


Under the caption "Animus in School
Affairs" the Deseret News. last evening
INDUCED in column of altogether I'm
fair criticism of the majority members
of the school board, who on Tuesday
evening elected Professor Cooper of
Des Moines superintendent of the Salt
Lake system.
Had the condition of facts been as
promised by the News, there might
have been some justification of its con-
clusions. But it's premises were based
on transformation, says member, who
adds that the documents on file with
the board Of education contain the
refutation Of every statement made by
the News relative to Professor Cooper.
1t is only fair to eDresume-and no one
who knows the gentlemen believes 9TH
erwise-that the six members of the
board who voted for Professor Cooper
did so because they We're satisfied that
the best of all the applicants could adj
minister the government of the schools.
Professor Cooper's endorsements are
excellent; his attachments are of a high
character; he has wide experience as
a teacher and as a superintendent; his
services have frequently been sought
by different cities. All this despite the
News statement to the contrary.
The Herald has on different occasions
urged the board of education to select
a Utah man for the place, could it find
a man possessing the intellectual ac-
complishments and special training re-
quired for this difficult position. The
board was unable to do so. 1t selected
an Iowa educator of long experience,
and one whose career has been marked
by signal success. There. could be no
more certain proof of his entire worth
than the clippings from Des Moines pa
pers printed in The Herald yesterday.
