What the Brook Saw.
BY MAY H. BRINCKLEY.


Copyright. 1902. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
In shady spot of a cool green wood
little brook rested between its messy
banks. The air was heavy with the
warm scents OF summer and all around
the voices of the forest were whisper
ing softly. They told strange stories
OF the far away world OF men and
sang of love and happiness and many
other wonderful things; while over all
the yellow sunshine rested lovingly.
The little brook was content to loiter,
and dimpled delightedly in the very
JOY OF existence.
From its bed in the mountain II had
come tourneying swiftly down; past
narrow jutties and through high SOM
Der walls of rock. But the gay little
brook laughed at their grimness with
merry tinkle, only tumbling bolster
ously and turning little somersaults In
its haste to reach the warm blue sky.
Then out into the sunshine, still
sparkling and dashing down its peb-
bly, way.
AS 1t continued it's riotous course,
famed by the breeze and kissed by the
sunlight. 1t left tokens OF its good
will with the plants and flowers that
grew by it's side. 1t sprinkled the
feathery ferns and waving grasses
with a shower OF shining rainbow
drops. In the modest heart OF the
hidden violet, II left a single jewel
more bright than any diamond. and
down the thirsty throat of the dark
blue flag, 1t poured a tiny stream of
crystal clearness.
Then on and on; slowly through
meadows and cortland fields. where
the little ground people came out to
drink and to gather the news brought
by the brook from all along its way.
And softly stealing under dainty
bridges. where many a rustic knight
had wooed and won his lady, the little
brook dubbed on.
And into the deep still wood 1t stole,
where the sunlight glimmered fitfully
through the leaves Of the tall oak trees
and cast green patches OF light on the
ground below, where, save for the gen.
tie murmurlng of the things OF the
forest, everything was still with the
soft hush of a summer moon. II was
there the little brook rested. 1t rip
pied in peaceful content, and listened
20 the voices. A robin perched on the
last twig of bough was serenading a
buttercup below. He twittered softly,
and the butter-cup bent her yellow
head in acknowledgment OF the fiatter-
ing song. A humble bee was boldly
robbing sweet blue-bell of all its
honey, and the little wortle berries
looked on in horror The wild rose
listened to the old. old story, whis-
pered by futtering butterfly with

Devotion TO Sport Carried to Remark

Nor should cock-fights be despised
In this strenuous period OF American
history. Some of the best and noblest
of men were given up to the sport,

may admire the perfect technic of the
pugilist?) There was the Earl OF
Derby, for instance, who feared God
and honored the king-the fortunate
earl that married beautiful Miss Far
rem, play actress. When he was
eighty-two years old and aware that
death would call in few hours, he
had a main between his fayorite birds
in his bedroom. Truly fine figure
of IN Englishman, who might have
sat for Maginn's portrait of the Earl
of Bardolph. This noble earl in his
last moments had a table by his side
with a prayer-book, a posset cup, the
Racing Calender and tankard OF ale.
although he could not lift the tankard
to his mouth. He took leave of his
relatives, told them not to come near
him again, and then ordered his
groom, Joe, to bring a couple of game
cocks into the room. He had twenty
FIVE guineas under his pillow for the
doctor, but he bet on his favorite, ''the
ginger pyle" guinea against the
groom's halfpenny. At last he won
Joe's capital-fivepence halfpenny. He
cleared of the coppers from the table
into the bed, showed the purse with
the guineas in 1t toward the groom
and then he cast his eyes upon the
cocks, and the bird he had last back

old mans head sank on the pillow and
he died"

III yer discussed anything else than a
s x ruom building and assured them
that was all they contemplated. AS
soon as the bonds were voted an eff
fort was made To begin an eight rf ON
building in the Third ward, contrary
to the intent OF the voters. who placed
the money in the hands OF the board
In the belief that they would carry
out the expressed will OF the people
A majority Of the board now proceeds
to make this illegitimate use of the
funds of the district. After entreat.
les, arguments and persuasiOns. and
we might say abuse, had failed, the
court was appealed to and an injunc-
tion was sustained against using any
OF this last 81, 900 for an eight room
building IN the Third ward, and the
district is stuck for the costs and at.
t rnpv fees, amounting in all to prob
ably $500, while the fees Of the archi-
CT for pans Of this eight room build
ing, which cannot he built, will cost
the dis trio y obably few hundred
more making the total cost by this
seifishness al urfairne.s on the part
of the m1j0rity, four or I've hundred
dollars to the district, and nothing
done.
In view of all these facts. That
six room building is all that was ever
contemplated by either proposition;
that eight rooms would give the
Third ward three surplus rooms; that
the injunction asked for was granted
by the court; that all the money on
hand and to be secured by the last
bond issue will be needed to erect the
buildings voted for and make the re.
Quired repairs: that the board has al
ready squandered four or five hundred
dollars Of the peoples money in
hopeless effort 10 secure more than,
that tGlyh ch they are entitledn the
Third Ward;Jhat with very little more
delay 1t will be impossible to have
those buildings ready by the opening
OF the school year; and that any
further attempts by the board to-
build more than a six room building
will be met by an Injunction and
further court costs and delays, would
it not be better for the people on the
west side to stop this matter by in
structing their board members to be
content with SIX room building?
We can find motive for the action
Of the Third ward members. A large
school building, even though
partially vacant, would be an orna-
ment to their part of town and en-
hance the value OF their property.
But tue stand taken by the Second
ward mem bers is contrary to all our
precOnceived ideas of self preservation
and loo u pride, leaving out all the
elements of right and wrong.
Before the fire the Second ward was
furnishing quite per cent Of the pu-
pills attending in the Third ward.
Now they insist on building three sur
plus rooms ia said Third ward, which
they will be forced, sooner or later. TO
fill, partially. at least, from the Sec
Ond. II contemplated improvements
90 In north OF town. the Second ward
will grow very rapidly and instead of
having rooms supplied In her own
boundaries, will be obliged to fill up
the vacant ones in the Third ward
with Second ward pupils and the pu
pills from adjoining territory north
and west, causing them all to travel
farther than they should.
