War Is Crime.

Pride of nations, work your will
While its powers in their prime;
Hedge it round with tact and skill,
Paint it fair in prose and rhyme;
Tinge it gaudier than the slime
That red battlefelds distill;
Stain it with the gold you spill
Brighter than the daffodil;
Work your will, yet-war is crime.
Pride of nations, work your will;
Bid its fiery meanings chime
With an optic charm sublime;
Teach your eloquence to thrill
Gathered throngs in many cline;
Wrest from words Thou shalt not kill''
Their appropriate sense until
Conscience, grown a dexterous mime,
Raiments good in robes of ill
Work your will, yet-war is crime.
Pride Of nations, work your will
Cleanliness was never CRIME;
Chaste the woodlands crystal r;ll,
Gross the swine and rank the swill
Pure the pastures clustering thyme;
Foul the swamps and fresh the hill
Pride of nations work your will;
Save all heavens feet stars grow still,
One stern truth shall bde through time
war is crime.

neys.
Annie Rooney, Of pugilistic fame, as
she Is commonly known, declares that
she has quit fighting and the police

The Making of Man.

And the high gods took in hand
Fire, and the falling of tears,
And a measure of sliding sand
From under the feet of the years.
And froth and drift of the sea,
And dust of the laboring earth,
And bodies of things to be
In the house of death and of birth,
And wrought with weeping and laughter,
And fashioned with loathing and love,
With life before and after,
And death beneath and above,
For day and a night and a morrow
That his strength might endure for a span.
With travail and heavy sorrow
The holy spirit of nan.

Hose company No 2 of the fire depart
ment held Its regular monthly meetin 6
last night with all officers and nineteen
members present.
Foreman w. j. Ten Eyck reported
| that the horses aud apparatus were in
excellent condition but new harness
was badly needed. He was instructed
to confer with Chief Powers and lay
the matter before the CITY council urg-
ing the need of immedi ate action in
the matter.
A bill for S4.75 for print was al

with the pretty girls of east Texas and
how he got lost ia Dallas and the pol
ice learning that he WAS from Ell Paso
took charge of him for fear he might
be run over by the electric cars and
the modest request that the company
send him as its delegate to as many
