THE RAIN SONG OF THE ROBIN.

Oh. the rain song of the robin! How It thrills my
heart to hear
The rain song of the robin in the OF the
yeari
How long for wings to join him where his carol
poureth free,
And for words to beg the secret of his magic min
strelsy.
Does he sing because he revels in the fury of the
storm?
In the thunder and the lightning does he find hid
den charm?
Or. with prophet eye. enraptured does he see the
darkness past,
And the beauty which shall blossom when the
clouds dsperse at last?
When the rain on me descendeth, and Thy clouds
about roll
Grant, o God the power of singing to my tempest
shaken soul!
May Thy mercy shining far beyond the outer
gloom!
May hear Thine angels chanting! May see Thy
lilies bloom! -(Kate Upson Clark.

nues The intention is to keep the pedlers from
the downtown streets including Wall Nassau
Broad and John SITS. and Maiden Lane and also

the upper East Side Many pushcart pedlers were
at the hearing. and protested that the enactment
of the ordinance would deprive them of their
means Of living.
Police Inspector Adam Cross told the committee
that the ordinance was good one as the push
cart pedlers took up much time of the police and
when arrested were usually discharged. Polica
Captains Kilea and Vredenburg made similar
statements F. c. Moore, representing insurance
interests. said business was hampered in the mar
row streets downtown, and that nobody was bene-
hted except office boys. E c. Lewis, Of the Nut
ual Life Insurance Company. said the time lost
by business men because of the pushcart obstruc-
tion. was a hundred times the value OF the goods
sold.
Adolph Schwartz. pedler said the trouble was
with the police and those responsible for the issu
ing of licenses, and not with the pedlers He <aid
the license ordinance was not enforced. and that
police protection was bought He also said that
pusncarts in Hester-st. and the streets adjoining
were owned by the storekeepers in nearly every
instance. Inspector Cross took the name and ad-
dress of Schwartz.
