A little story in the Logan Nation
gives an idea Of the ease with which
false and malicious reports attain cir
culation. It follows:
An impression is abroad concerning
the origin Of the smallpox at the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Brossard in the Sixth
ward, which does an injustice to that
I gentleman and his estimable wife. 1t
! is rumored that the lady received a
I letter from her brother in California,
written while he had the disease. The
/ report is entirely erroneous. The facts
are that a relative of Mrs. Brossard' S
Z received a letter from her brother,
though Mrs. BrOssard did not see the
/ letter, and it was written some time
after her brother had emerged from
quarantine. He was in quarantine
( fifty three days and was thoroughly
/ recovered from the disease or from
danger Of spreading contagion when
/ released. It is. therefore, certain that
! the disease at the residence of Mr..
J BTOssard is Of local origin.

To its course; its murnuTiugs join
With sounds of zephyr. bird and bee,
In Natures tuneful symphony.
And thou. my soul amid this JOY.
On wings Of highest thought shouldst rise
And muse Ger higher destnies
And still enlarge thy narrow sphere,
For thy small influence shed abroad
Nay bring some other nearer God.
And thou at times in doubt and gloom
Thou sayest The way is dark and drear
I care not when the END is near.
For men are cold and spirits dead,
And for earth's gain is all their strife
And all the shams and shows Of life.
Yet here are joys both real and pure,
And DER thy head that heavenly blue
And every night message true
Speaks from the stars. Think not dull soul.
That earthly drag viii end thy race
No, With the Eternal is thy place
Another world awaits thee here.
With kindred spirits by thy side
And sweet converse unchilled By pride
Pure joys of Spring-true light from stars
Bringing as years and ages ron
Heavens message to each struggling soul

NJ OW Spring has come; from field and wood
Echo a thousand notes of gladness.
Driving away duh Winters sadness.
Now creeping things meath rock and mound
Their heecy couches are undoing
And powers Of life and JOY renewing.
And others still more blest win soon
From lowly pool and crannies rise
In winged glory toward the skies.
The common JOY is told in song
Of redbreagt meadow lark and dove.
And soon their notes viii tell Of love.
There's dewy fragrance from the ground
There's thrilling freshness in The air.
And joy and beauty everywhere
From tender blade beneath our feet,
I'D TO those sunlit peaks Of snow,
All radiant in the ethereal glow,
Whence merry streamlets hasten down
BY fairy fern and rock descending.
Their music with the torrents blending.
What though in shallow. weedy stream
Perchance at dawn the frost stfH fingers.
Holding all fast with crystal fingers;
Or snowy mantle, softly falling,
Has hid each twig and bud from sight
Beneath myriad GEMS Of white;
Full soon Hyperion mounts on high.
And with his warm. exUltant beam,
Releases earth and ice-bound stream

MAY DO away WITH
THE TAX ATTORNEY

"The Office of tax attorney pays
$125 per month and was created by
the legislature in June, 1901" con-
tinued Mr.. Kimball. "The change,
if made, will come properly through
the county commissioners Office
Deputy Clerk Spangle of the COM
missioners' Office said:
IF there has been any arrange
ments made to drop Rockwell and
the position of tax attorney it has
been a verbal arrangement between
the commissioner and the prose-
cutting attorney and as yet the mat
ter has not been discussed at any
of the weekly meetings."
1t is probable that the change
will not take place for a month at
least, allowing sufficient time to
clear up the work. The change
will result in saving of $500 per
year.

feat, and it is hard to say what the
