he is now but one point behind Mr..
Meyer.
The coming week will undoubtedly be
an interesting one, for there will be
some new names among the list of
leaders. The scores are made up at 3
o'clock each afternoon and all who
have not reported by theu must wait
an extra day to have their revised

PROF. GRANTS FUNERAL.
Services Conducted at the Family
Home Yesterday Afternoon-His
Favorite Poem Read.

The funeral services over the re-
mains of the late Prof. Willard w.
Grant, principal of the Scranton High
school, were conducted yesterday af-
tcrnoon at the family residence, on
Madison avenue, in the presence of
only a few of the intimate friends OF
tho deceased instructor.
Tho coiI!n was banked high with the
floral offerings contributed by the pu-
pills of the High school, the teachers
the board of control, and many friends
of the family and the room was heavy
with the fragrant perfume of the
flowers. Prayer was offered by Rev.
DR.. James Mcleod, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church. Rev. DR..
Robert +. Y. Pierce read the follow
ing poem, which was a favorite OF
Prof. Grant, during his lifetime, and
which had a special application. be-
cause he, himself, died at his post:
There arc countless heroes who live and die
of whom We have never heard;
For the great, big, brawling world goes by
With hardly look word;
And one of the braycst and best OF all
OF whom the list can boast
Is the man who falls on duty's call.
The man who dies at his post.
bloom,
And the pathway OF life looks bright,
lie is brought in a moment tn face tho gloom
Surrounding the final night.
He buoyantly sails O'cr the sun|it sea
And is dashed on an unseen coast
Till the ship goes down, at the helm stands he,
The man who dies at his post.
Who follows the glorious idle OF war
And falls in the midst of fight,
He knows that the honor will hover DER
And cover his name with light.
But lie passes, unsling, unknown,
Who hears no appauding host,
Goes down in the dark to his fate, alone,
The man who dies at his post
Who bears with disease while draws draws near
Who faces his fate each dav,
Yet strives TO comfort and help and cheer
His comrades along the way.
Who follows his work while he vet may do.
And smiles while he suffers most,
1t seems to me hero true
The man who dies at his post.
There arc plenty TO laud and crown with bays
The hero who falls in strife,
But few who offer a word of praise
To the orowncSs hero Of life.
lIe does his duty and makes no claim;
Too manly TO carp or boast;
This silent martyr unhnown to fame,
The man who dies at his post.

tions by sending the boy detective

founded and that the men would con-
tlnue their connection with the de-
partment of public safety.
