THE GREAT LAKES.

When God enropsd Himself with light
And curtained night with star-traced SKY
He covered earth with folds Of green,
And clasped her belt with gems that lie
In one huge cluster deeply set.
Whose crystal CLEAN and beryl glow
Bring pride TO every patriots breast.
Superior, Ontario!
Thy sister Jewels Re between,
And over all these waters free
Go tokens OF mans godlike power,
His mastery OF earth and sea;
Thy ships make commences blo0o 10"
strong
with iron, lumber. coal and grain,
Bring comfort to uncounted homes,
And leave their paths without stain
Thy ripples capture fror' the sun
The diamonds studdlng every wave;
Thy crystal floor Is clean as heavens
Thy waters can the millions save
For from deep fOur tains out Of sight,
Distilled by chemistry divine,
They pour their ceaseless age-long now
AS fresh as yfe's own sparkling Wlhe'
Thy skies speak OF holy peace,
Such peace as sleeping babe enfoIds'
Thy clouds are soft as ANGELS wings,
Thy stars. a living arch OF wolds'
Thy stretches where no shores are seen
Are foretastes Of the houndless AR
Whose pathways We shall travel soon,
Whose freedom endless ages share.

Passing Of the west.

TO those whose days have been spent
in the enjoyment of the freedom of
the old west. even as it appeared in
the sos, there comes regret in the
contemplation of the new order of
things. For assuredly the old has
given way to the new, says the Tacoma
Ledger. The old west as the early set
tiers knew it for 20 years or more
has gone as went the Indian and the
buffalo, and with it has gone that larg-
er freedom which were its Characters
ties and its charm. There is no longer
any west. The methods and condi-
tions of the west are the methods and
conditions of the east, plus western
energy. Indeed, to be entirely Just,
ii may be questioned whether western
push is not an importation, for GER
tainly 1t did not flourish in the ante
railroad days.

GERMLESS SCHOOLGIRLS.
Precautions Taken In Salt Lake City
Against Spread of Disease
Among Children

A new ordinance has been adopted
in Salt Lake City with the idea of
preventing the disseminating of scar
Leftover and diphtheria germs among
school children, says recent report
from that city.
Both diseases have recently been
epidemic among the children in the
city and the board of health decided
that the germs travelled In the school
books and other things carried by
the pupils. The result has been the
passage of an ordinance which is
probably more stringent than any
other of the kind ever adopted by
any municipality.
1t provides that none OF the school
books shall be covered with any ma
terial other than paper. In all schools
in which there is u free distribution
OF books such books, after having
once been used, must be recovered
end thoroughly disiufected by the
board of health.
A student once having received n
book shall keep II as long as that
book is necessary for his studies.
II is unlawful for the schools to
collect pencils, spouges or other ar
ticics used by the students for the
purpose Of redistributing them to
other students.
A violation of any provision of the
ordinance is punishable by fine of
S25.

BULLETS FIRED FROM AMBUSH.
Shooting of Whitfield Was a Very
Atrocious Deed.

The police are still investigating the
case of attempted murder here three
nights ago wherein an unknown assas-
sin shot Drumright Whitfield, head
waiter at The Windsor. This is one of
the most atrocious crimes ever COM
mitted here, and nothing should be
left undone to catch the perpetrator.
Since Whitfield has recovered, further
facts bearing upon the affair have come
to light. The man who attempted his
life drove in city hack to point en-
Poplar street, "a half mile from the
hotel, and shot three times at Whitfield
from ambush, only one of the bullets
taking effect. Strange to relate, the
officers cannot trace the hack that car
ried the wouId-be assassin to the pom
where the shooting occurred.
