[By Miss Geneva Stuart, Akron o.l
The congregation held their breath

All eyes were on him when he started,
His hair was in the middle parted,
To the organ-stool the player durtcd,
When Wilson rlz ter sing.
He let his voice out fun and free,
When Wilson rlz ter sing;
SO beautiful II was-Ah, me-
When Wilson riz ter sing,
That people started for the door,
And some were trampled on the floor
Such rush was ne'er seen before,
When Wilson riz ter sing,
Whether it was JOY or grief

That made them make theirs stay 80 brief
When Wilson rlz ter sing,
We do not know, but anyway,
They certainly made short their stay
Ralpb's wondering why to this day;

Columbus Feb. .Wnshington'a
birthday has brought the usual lull
in the business of law-moking ant
there is absolutely nothing going on
in legislative circles. The statesmen
will doubtless return TO Columbus
next week with their pockets fairly
bulging with bills.
Governor Nash continues TO lobby in
the interest of the Cox Ripper bill.
His efforts will probably be unsuccess-
ful, and the bill, If II is passed at ALL
will undoubtedly be so amended as
to do the Cincinnati boss little good.
The chances of the enactment into
law of the Clark Local Option bill
still seem good, although the State
administration Is violently opposed to
its passagc--the old story OF Governor

The general movement among the
