Hear the sullen roar
OF the guns on the shore

See the flying shells,
Hear the victors' yells-

Now the slow retreat,
OF beaten, shattered fleet,
And pursuit by the enemy bold
IT'S a story old
That will ever be told,
When the dogs of war are loose.
Hark! The bugle call,
In line columns fall,

Marching to the 'front.'

Flag they must defend,
To the bitter end,
Be their country right or wrong;

And many good-byes--

BRIGHT RUSSIAN GIRL.
Shows Wonderful Aptitude for Learn

Tyna Holman, Russian Hebrew I'M
migrants daughter. just IA years old,
who four years ago became a student IN
a West End school in Boston, has en-
tered Mount Holyoke college better
equipped for success in her student lie
than the average college girl.
Arriving from Russia in 19OO, Miss
Holman not only mastered the English
language, of which she was entirely
Ignorant, but became so proficient in 1t
and all other branches OF study that
within four years she passed through
the primary and grammar grades, anu
last June was graduated from the GIFTS
Latin school in Boston at the head OF
her class.
Because she knew nothing about Eng

third her age, but with the aid OF Rus
sian and English dictionaries, which
her father provided her with, she swift
" forged ahead, passing through the
primary and grammar grades in sin
gle year, for she had acquired in Russia
a good foundation for future learning.
From the Wells grammar school, in
the West End, Boston, she was grad
.uated in 1901 and finished the four year
course in the Girls Latin school in three
years, an uncommon feat. Intending
at first to go to Boston university for
year. she took the entry examinations,
passing six of the required studies with
honors, but subsequently she decided to
take the full course at Mount Holyoke
college. Even now she has made an i'm
preston with her instructors, and her
friends believe that she will win fresh
laurels during her college life.

dren and is q born student, mastering
the most difficult studies with the great
est ease. She is tall and graceful, OF the

Interference with Pipe Line.
Belief That syndicntcs Planning to

Places with Light ana Fuel
VIII he Successful.

Oswego, Kan, Dec. Judge Flan-
nelly, in the district court granted the
permanent injunction asked by the
Kansas Natural Gas company restrain
ing the county officers Of Montgomery
county and everybody else from in
terfering with the construction OF the
pipe line of the gas company through
Montgomery county.
The effect of the decision will be the
construction Of the pipe line through
Montgomery county at once. The in
junction restraints the county attorney
from prosecuting the cases against
the employees of the gas company ar
rested some time ago for obstructing
public highways; restraints the sher-
in from making further arrests; re-
strains the county commissioners from
obstructing the pipe line construction
across the highways and Generally
and specifically restraints everybody in
the county from interfering with the
plans of the company.
The issue involved not only the con-
struction OF the pipe line from indie.
pendence to Joplin, but also the con-
struction of the pipe line from Cha
mute and the northern end of the field
to Kansas City. 1t was to decide
whether or not gas may be piped across
the roads.
Montgomery county was the only
county in a position on the pipe line
route to fight the gas company Its
only hope was in stepping the pipe
line from crossing the county roads.
BY the time the injunction case could
reach the supreme court the pipe line
will be completed. A supreme court
decision to be of any use would have
to come in less than week.

And 80 at home last night
I spelled them out for my papa,
And thought had them right.
But papa said: YOU'RE wrong. my pet

Spells 'sweetheart'-don't you seer
I told him what my teacher said,
But he declared: "Oh. no!

Your teacher doesn't know"
MY papa wouldn't tell me wrong,
Or say what isn't true,

1t develops that the opinion Of Judge
Flannelly, in granting the injunction
at Oswego in the pipe line suit, gave
the gas company much wider lati-
tude than was supposed. It not only
has the right to cross public high
ways, but 1t has the right to lay its
pipes along the highways under re-
strictions laid down. The bitches must
be six feet from the bed of the road
and must be IS inches wide. The pipe
must be IS inches under ground. Be-

the case will be appealed, the officers
