WHAT WILL he DO WITH 'HM1


Editor The Press: Now that Mayor
Boyd has revoked his former decision
in regard to the fines of the red light
district. and has left the matter in the
hands of Chief of Police Woydt, what
will the latter do with the women?
He said some time ago that it was
not practical to move them to the
upper floors or from their present To-
cation, and that they were a necessary
evil. The only thing left then is to
raise the fine so high that none Of
them will be able to pay 1t, and con-
sequently will have to go out of BUSH
ness or go to Jail. But perhaps the
chief has another new plan. His new
method must come to light in a. few
days. FAIR PLAY.

Ger which l long have wandered,
And how I've finched from hardship's
goad,
And the many days I've squandered.
Yet I don't condemn-nor do l praise
The road so long and weary.
I've passed some sunny halcyon days,
And some 'twere dark and dreary
I've tripped the light fantastic toe
With many laughing maid,
Who now in death is lying low,
Beneath the willows shade.
I've kissed the lips of dying friends
Gave them the parting hand
With hope that we might meet again
In the bright celestial land
I've clambered up life's rugged hill
And stood upon it's top,
Tho oft contagious winds blew chill
And well nigh bade me stop.
At last I've gained the shady slope;
Am slowly tottering down,
With naught to cheer me save faint
hope
Of an immortal crown.
My boyhood's days have long since
passed,
And likewise manhood's bloom;
And now old age has come at last,
An escort tO the tomb
My future journey wends it's way
Toward the hills broad base,
Where / at no distant day
Must find a resting place.
And when I'm done with this vain =

And my spirit onward wings its way,
Oblivion may her flag unfurl

The months and years that come and go
Yet murmer l will not at all
