THE cHILD'S HEART.

The heart of child,
Like the hear. of a flower,
Has a smile for the sun
And a tear for the shower;
Oh, innocent hours
With wonder beguiled-
Oh. heart like a flowers
In the heart of child!
The heart of child,
Like the heart of bird.
With raptures Of music
Is flooded and stirred;
Oh. songs without words.
Oh, melodies Wild
Oh. heart like n birds
In the heart of child!
The heart of a child.
Like the heart of Spring,
Is full of the hope
OF what Summer shall bring:
Oh. glory of things
In world undefiled-
Oh. heart like the Springs
In the heart OF a child!

n point concerning which it
is very desirable that there
should be, in this commun-
ity, laying down Of the law. The
right of the Weavers to believe what
theyS please in matters Of tcligiuu
faith cannot be questioned. The fact
of their being Christian Scientists has
no bearing The simple question is,
Are those who disbolEve in ordinary
mediCa! treatment of lie sick to be
Permitted to ignore the law recurring
the placardn% OF cor ta.riOus diseases
and thus to endanrer the public
health?
1t seems to us that there can he
only one answer. The law was enact
ed for beneficent ru,nos", 1t is in
full force. and public opinion over
whclmnsly sustains it. 1t IS the duty
Of those in care of the sick, whatever
their personal beliefs, to use every
reasonable means to ascertain the
nature Of the sickness within their
household and, having so Informed
themselves, to take measures to pre-
to others. This duty is so elemcptary
and unnuestionable that II should not
need. in the case Of any ordinary intel
iisent family, tn be enforced by law.
Yet where II Is ignored and proof Of
the fact clearly appears, exemplary
Justice must b" administered or the
law relating to contagious dscas ses
will cease tn have fore" and the health
Of the community will be left without
adequate protection.
IL the tendency Of Christian Science
Is to tear loWn these reasonable safe
guar3s then il. too must go.
There seems to be no difficulty expe-
rienccd in perpetuatng the Dewey
arch, but hitch is promised in the
distribution of the Dewey prize money.

T.T-'-Il VI NtlldlDT de-
pew, delivered in the senate
u yesterday and summarized
in another column, clarifies
a point which has evidently become
obscure in the minds of some Repub-
licans, especially those who have, on
constitutional grounds, opposed the
imposition OF a nominal tariff on i'm
ports from Puerto Rico. In the blil-
liant peroration of Mr.. Littletield,
which we published yesterday because
OF Its literary excellence, fear was eX-
pressed that unless the human
rights" OF the inhabitants of the new
dependencies should be Embedded in

might at any moment become the sport
and by-play Of congress, too often

Lttlefield who was affrighted by a
shadow Says he:
while the constitution does not ex-

which drove the slot machines into

with dire exposure. We do not in
sinuate for we have no proof. that

infest our streets and that their un-

WHI5TL|Nd JACK
He Said Great Deal Without
Speaking n Word.

have always thought that the doings
and sayings OF Jack Carlton would fill a
book and make UP an interesting volume.
To begin with. Jack is loved by every
man in the college. No one can resist
his frank. merry manner, unfailing good
humor and happy face. Even the grim
professor Of mathematics softens a bit
when listening to recitation from Jack.
Not only do all the boys like him, but
the girls, wherever he goes. take him
into their good graces. In fact. Jack
was born with gold spoon in his mouth.
and Dame Fortune has never removed it.
Nevertheless, to be truthful scribe
must state that Jack has one very an
noying peculiarty. He whistles.
To be sure. whistling in its proper
place is very well. but whistling from
daybreak until late at night. whistling on
every occasion. whether special or other
wise. always and everlastingly whstling.
grows tiresome at times to say the least.
AS Jacks chum and roommate, ! have
manfully endured more than many peo-
pie would believe of me, and have even
taken a sort of pleasure In analyzing
Jacks MIND by his whistle.
Jacks list of songs is of great variety,
embracing nearly everything from street
songs and light opera to classic gems.
One is aa good as the other to him. and
frequently he shocks the ears of cul-
tured listener with his distorted version
of a favOrite classic.
