December, last of all the twelve
That circle with the rolling year,
Less gay than May. less sweet than June,
But not less welcome or less dear;
IT'S thine to guard the closing scene,
And with tenderness most rare
To lead the old world faltering steps
Down Natures steep and winding stair
With the white mantle of the snow
Woven from out the frosty air,
To wrap the Old Years threadbare form
And watch his latest breath with care.

"WELL DONE"

The Medina Gazette, whose solicit
tude for the national honor and the
cause Of civilization forbid it from
supporting Its beloved townsman,
Judge Phillips, for Congress in last
falls contest, has just written
the following touching obituary upon
the dead political hopes Of the one
term Congressman:
"Mr. Phillips has been a most ex-
cellent Representative in his atten-
ton to the needs and requirements of
his constituents. His attention to
duty has been unremitting and zeal
Gus, and he has been at his post Of
duty ready to serve all at any time.
He will receive the verdict OF "well
done" from the people of the Goth
district, and steps down and out Of

ing and with the general good will
of all who know him. His neighbors
will be glad to welcome him home
where he has always been useful
citizen and where we hope he will
continue long to make his home. That
he did not receive a second term was
not because he did not deserve it."
1t Is pleasing for Akron's citizens to
note that among their Medina neigh
bors there Is peace and the healing of
bruised spirits. Not even Judge Phil
lips himself will deny the force of the
Gazette's conclusion that he was "well
done" by the people of the Twentieth

Mr.. Wakeman stated today that the

had capital and meant business. They
do not intend to touch the small

neighborhood of Front street.
The company at the present time Is
constructing three lines in Ohio and
one in West Virginia. 1t is the pur-
pose to get the Akron-Massillon line
in operation as soon as possible. The
question of right of way which is so
great an obstacle in the building Of
some lines amounts to little in this
case as it will be purchased.

TUNES ! KNEW WHEN A BOY.

The following poem was written by
Col. w. L. Sawyer, while he was a
student at Buchtel College.
When lonely and sad,
When wearled by toll,
When tired of worldly affairs,
To me there is nothing
Like music to drive
Away all vexG.ions and cares.
But new-fangled music
Is harsh to my ear,
And 1t only tends to annoy,
But soothing and sweet,
10 my ear and my heart,
Are the tunes that l knew when a
boy.
So play the old tunes
OF my rock-a-by days,
On their strains gently wart me
away
To the old verdant hills,
And the ripping rills,
With the balm-laden zephyrs at play.
Those simple old tunes
Coming back to me now,
AS echoes come back from a hill
Go right to the tenderest
Chords of my heart
And through every vein send a thrill
When ones form Is bent,
BY the dead weight of years,
Old tunes give the sweetest relief
And down wrlnkled cheeks
Start bitter-sweet tears
OF co-mingled joy and grief.
So do not play class
ical music for me,
1t is something l can not enjoy;
But stir all the ten

A dispatch says that members of the
Cuban Constitutional convention will
for a short time play to the galleries,
pretending to be greatly opposed to
the policy outlined by the United
States, but will finally accede to all
demands. TO certain degree some
of the members are pledged to the
radicals, who brought about their
election, and while they will later
follow the course pointed out by Gen
eral Wood, they demand some time to
square themselves with constituents.
This would Indicate that the Cubans
are rapidly falling in with American
ways, even if they have no Mark
Hanna to guide them.

Judge Anderson over the Dick faction

not controlled appointments to the
