The following 10 . sample Of Sans ex-
cellent work, the first poem In his little
book, and printed some time since In the
New York Sun:
Let others sing of those who've won
Full hoard OF virgin gold
I strike the Tyre for those who've none,
But yet are strong and bold
who've blszed the trails through q painless
waste
And onthe worlds new chart have traced
The lines which lead where the treasures
placed,
And all their secrets told.
They search the streams and hillsides rend,
The hidden truth TO learn;
They trudge where land and skyline blend,
And gaze till eyebslls burn;
They scale bleak heights whence vast plains
sweep.
And SOY for those who come to reap.
While wives and sweethesrts In homeland weep
And pray for their return.
Afar in regions of night-gloomed day
Their slender shadows leap;
Ger snow-crowned peaks they fight their way
To where the Gold-gods sleep;
Where the congelstions Of ages lie,
And sth wart the ~fecklefs, star-sprent sky
Aurors's moon-drenched splendors fly,
Onward their footsteps creep.
out where Desthland. reft Of bush or tree,
Spreads like q sun-browned lawn;
To the verge Of the rigid, ice-locked sea.
Where twilight greets the dawn;
Where q sheenless moon sails the sunlitn night,
Where inert and dim bides the Mystic Light,
And the white swan ends his vernsl flight,
They still are pressing on.
So. when others sing Of the chosen few
Who DER the Fstes prevail,
| will sing Of the many, stsunch and true,
Whose brave hearts never quail
Who with dsuntless spirit of pioneers
A state are building for the coming years.
Their sole reward their loved ones tears
The men who blazed the trail

It has been decided to make . change In
The usual plan Of the graduating exercises
Of the Eureka public school for this year.
and instead OF the essays which have for
merIy been read by the Senior Glass a play
/ will be given, with the members Of the
class illing the principal parts. The
play 10 be presented is shskespesre's
"Merchsnt Of Venice" selected from the
course in English Literature recommend
ed by the Literature Department Of the
University and adopted in the new Course
Of Study. 1t Is thought that more benefit
may be derived from the thorough study
Of 9 poet like Shakespeare than from es-
ssy-writing, and that the audience will be
more readily interested. As there are not
enough In the Senior Class 10 fill ell the
parts. the support has been filled by the
Middle and Junior Glasses, but the play
will be presented entirely by pupils, with
q young lady Of the Senior Glass in the
role OF Shylock.
Work has been actively progressing on
the preparation for the exercises, and re-
hesrssls have been going on for some time.
Much interest and . surprising amount OF
aptitude has been shown, and those in
charge believe that the performance will
be highly oreditsble.
The invitations, now being engraved,
will have q picture OF the famous Trial
Scene, and the cast Of the play, in
addition TO the program. Besides the play
there will be addresses and music, which
will precede the performance.
