Now that in every cline beneath the sun
The multitudes kneeling, and the prayers
Of millions importune Almighty God
For the great soul that God has taken; now
That Rome is one great house of mourning, and
Princes and potentates and priests have heaped
Their praises and their laurels his bier
While Leo lies in state, does it occur
10 YOU to wonder how he died?
Before
The final hutter of the faint hearts wing
Had sped the spirit from it's tenement.
And stopped its work complete; while yet the eyes
Deep sunk but lighted by the mind within.

The eyes of all the world turned toward his bed,
Or as a man who. full of years and tired,
Perceves the end and dreams about his youth
That Leo died?
HAPPY the waning light
That filtered through the chamber that day
Painted picture of the boyhood home
In Anagin, the hills and dark ravnes
Of'Carpineto, and the smiling fields
That stretch from Corr to the and west.
Perhaps he the proud contened smile
That lit his mothers face, what time she knew
He to don the cassock and the cowl.
And be from thenceforth only Gods and hers
Mothers and gods being jealous-and she felt
That selfish, loving thrill that feel
Who know that never womans influence
Save theirs alone shall touch their son.
Perhaps
He thought of this, for those who bent above
His dying couch say that they caught the word
Whispered with his last breaththe same sweet word
That common mortals whisper when they die
The name that children murmur ere they sleep!

Our Eminent Chief Justice

was talking with one of the prom
inent republicans a few days ago
regarding our supreme court and the
new chief justice who p%resides over
that dignifed body. He made the re-
mark that, regardless OF politics, Judge
Corn was one of the ablest members
of the bench. who has eve assembled
the steps which lead up to the Chief
~Justiceship. Most people who have
known Judge Corn since he came to
wyoming will agree with the opinion
expressed. He has always been an
ornament and an honor to both the
bench and bar. The other day l look
ed in upon him while he presided at a
session Of the higest court in our state,

to the constitution is required before
1t can be revised. 1t is neck and neck

of charter, as the Illinois law provides
hat only one amendment can be pre-

woman suffrage shall wait and says:
There can be no doubt which of the
two amendments is the more likely to
