II were a country lad, my girl
Every night I'd go to see;
And, if she were not too bashful
I'd sit beside her-see?
And on returning homo each night
To the celler I'd HE with glee
And close to the orchards vintage
I'd sit b. cider-see?
Should the girl prove cruel and crogI
And bid me from her fee,
I'd sail ayav TO the Netherlands
AND sit b. Zuyder Zee!

BEACH CUTTING AWAY AT BAR,
NEGAT INLET.

For some time the ocean has been
asserting itself at Barnegat inlet saws
the Toms River Courier, and making
great inroads in the beach adjacent
to the Hotel Oceanic, which was
moved inland some years ago 1000
feet or more, and If the sea encroach-
ment continues will have to be moved
again. Over twenty acres of beach
have been obliterated, and the advance
shoreward of the beach line has not
been halted although hundreds of
sard bags and much brush has been
stacked UP in fruitless effort to halt
the havoc. Almost the entire board
walk has been demolished and the sit.
uation is becoming serious.

BOBS UP AGAIN.
Proposed Kansas City and Topeka
Electric Line Again Agitated.

Chas. N. Chaplin, secretary of the
Kansas City, Lawrence and Topeka
Electric railway has been in Lawrence
during the past week in conference with
the business men relative to the con-
struction of the proposed electric road.
In an interview with Mr.. Chaplin, in
the Lawrence News, it is announced that
considerable portion of the right of
way for the road has been donated by
farmers along the proposed route. The
News says:
Quoting Mr. Chaplin. it appears that
practically the entire right of way be-
tween Lawrence and Bonner Springs
has been secured.
Mr.. Chaplin asserts that if this line is
built, there is some probability of the
construction of a branch line between
Lawrence and Garner, via Hesper and
Prairie Center.
TN this connection it is understood a
petition is being circulated through the
valley asking the board of county com
missioners to vacate the north Is feet on
the public highway between Eudora
and Lawrence. 1t is not at all likely
this will be done. There is some oppo-
sition to it. Those who are opposed to
it say they would sign a petition grant
ing the railway right to use the center
of the road"

at Capital City.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-Congress-
man Jackson says his bill providing for
government ownership of the telegraph
lines is gaining friends in the house,
and that the chances of it's passing are
the best. Mr.. Jackson says his bill is
nonpartisan and that politics should not
enter into the question. He says: 81
am not in favor of confiscating the
property of the telegraph companies. i
wish them to be paid a fair, equitable
price for it. 1 will not say 1 would
advocate paying par for the stock of
the Western Union company, or any
other. I don't wish to gain enemies for
the measure by expressing myself on
that point before it has been taken up
by the appraisal people and decided on
its merits. There may be people who
would vote against paying par for the
stock of the companies who would be
willing to do SO if it were proven that
they were worth that sum, and the
same is true the other way.
In my opinion, the telegraph COM
panies are not in favor Of selling to the
government You hear that they are,
but matter of fact they have never
come to the government with an offer
to sell. The telegraph companies are
behind all this talk of wireless teleg-
raphy, and the outlook that it will be
a killing competitor of the wire sys-
tenn. 1t is suggested that this will
make the government investment a
poor one. The reason for these sug-
gestions is that the companies do not
wish to sell, and are attacking the gov
eminent purchase in this underhand
way. Wireless telegraphy may be d
success in tine, and it may not. So
may dirigible balloons be successful,
but the fact that SantoS-Dumont has
navigated around the Eiffel tower does
not form a very good argument against
the ship subsidy BILL nevertheless
( A year ago Colonel Roosevelt, after
having promised to attend the Ottawa

he is only q years old.
Mr.. Edison publishes a small monthly

1t is devoted to the interests of the stu

In his last issue young Mr.. Edison pub
fishes a poem which he has written under
the title, 1.-The God-Slayer." 1t is a gem
of real poetry and it is receiving all kinds
OF kind words from literary people who
have noticed it. 1t is as follows:
The savage stopped on the desert sand.
Where his clustering feet on the sage
And he turned and lifted a threatening
In the face of his awful God
His shadow waved in the furnace air.
His eyes were cut by the binding glare,
The suns hot rays like hammer beat
While the far hills danced in the shin-
That smote him like rod
Till wild rebellion seized his soul
And he turned to strive with God.
He fitted his arrow without a word,
And long he aimed at the cruel sun,
Then loosed the shaft and the b0wstring
And the awful deed was done.
The arrow sped to its shining mark
And the gloom which over the mountain
Fell thick and black on his savage soul
His heart grew numb with a frantic dread.
As he crept through the dark to his

But men, through awe, to him were kind.

blind!

uaI needs Of their children than ever
was known before
They are stimulating among public
school teachers an ambition to study
child nature closely to the end that
they may discover and cultivate in their
pupils those traits of character which
most need cultivation.
They are organizing and maintaining
kindergartens in communities that
would otherwise be without them.
They are, with the assistance of kim
dergartners, formulating elementary
methods of child training which meet
with favor by parents and teachers, thus
securing a much to be desired co-opera-
ton between parents and teachers.
They are pointing out that the child
has rights which his elders are bound
to respect; and they are emphasizing
the fact that the child has a spiritual
side to is nature which should not and
must not be neglected.
