RICHARD GOLDEN IN "OLD JED

Just as atwen the awk'ard lines a
hand we love has penn'd,
Appears a meaning hid from other
eyes;
So, in your simple, homespun art, old
honest Yankee friend,
A power o. fearful, sweet sugges-
tion lies,
We see. it all--the picture that your
mem'ries hold so dear
The homestead in New England far
And the vision is to nat'ral like we al
most seem to hear
The voices that were hushed but yes
terday.
Ahl who'd ha' thought the music of
that distand childhood time
Would sleep through all the changeful,
bitter years,
To waken into melodies like Christ
mas bells achme.
An to claim the ready tribute of our
tears!
Why, the robins in the naples an
the blackbirds round the pond,
The crickets an the locusts in the
The brook that chased the trout adown
the hillside jest beyond,
An the swalers in their nests be-
meath the caves
They all come trooping back with you
dear Uncle jed today,
An they seem to sing with all the
joyest zest
or the days when we We're Yankee
boys and Yankee girls at play,
With nary thought of 'livin' way out
West
God bless We, Richard Golden for the
good Y do our hearts
With this music and these memories
of youth
God bless you for the faculty that
tops all human arts,
The good oil Yankee faculty of Truth,
Presented here on Monday evening

BUILDING FUND GROWS.
HOped to Soon Begin Nursery and
kindergarten Building.

A meeting of the Executive Board of
the Kings Daughters Union was held
yesterday morning at the residence of
Mrs. Robert Gibbes. corner of Aber-
corn and Thirty First street. The
prospects of the building fund for the
day nursery, which is to be used
jointly with the kindergarten, were
discussed and shown to be altogether
encouraging.
The Kings Daughters do not desire
to begin the erection of the building
until they can be assured, by the
amount of funds on hand and in sight.
that they will be able to pay for it
without trouble. They have no in
debt that it will find 1t hard to dis
charge. The fund. however, continues
to grow, and it is believed it will be
possible to begin the erection of the
building in a short time.
To help the work Mr.. Paul Conida
has agreed to donate to the building
fund 20 per cent. of the gross proceeds
from the sale of soda water, at his Bull
street establishment, between the
hours of 1 and o'clock, on Oct. 1.
1t is hoped that the public will lend
it's encouragement to this scheme for
raising money.
For the use of the children of the
day nursery, the text books used by
the pupils of the first grade of the
grammar schools are needed and the
managers of that institution ask those
who have such books, and no further
use for them, to give them to the day
nursery Their receipt will be appre-
ciated and acknowledged.
